Sense and Sentiment.

Congregationaist.
When I was boy, my mother said
to ne: "Neyer look for vile, my
son. When the time comes for you to
be married, you will find the right
one." l have watched my friends, and
have found that those who took up the
duties Of everyday life and thought
nothing about their matrimonial future
were the ones best prepared to meet it
when it came.
Wien a young man is attracted to a
lady, his first thought should be
"Does che satisfy all the higher ele-
ments OF my nature?" When he is
certain that she fills place in his life
that no one else does, giving him hopes,
aspirations, and desires that are unset
fish, he can feel sure that he is justified
in ayalllng himself OF her society, until
marriage seems the consummation OF
their happiness. He who depends on
God for aid and direction in all other
affairs of life is no. warranted IN neg
Iecting him IN considering that sacred
union which not only affects his own
happiness, but that of many others. l
think there would be more happy mar
riages, if the following saying of the
old Greek philosopher were adopted :
"God is ever drawing like to like, and
it is he who gives to those whom he
intends should be friends letters of in

No Excuse Allowed,
Country Gentleman.

Country Gentleman
A successful business man told me
there were two things he learned wher
be was eighteen years old, which were
eyer afterwards OF great use to him
namely, "Neyer to lose anything, ant
never to forget anything" An ole
lawyer sent him with an importan,
paper, with certain instructions wha
to do with it.
"But," inquired the young man
"suppose that L should happen to LOSE
it-what shall I do them"
"You must not lose it," said the law
yer, frowning.
Il don't mean to-" said the young
man "but suppose 1 should happer
to-"
"But l say you must not happen to
I shall make no provision for such ar
occurrence you must not lose it,"
This put new train of thought into
the young mans mind, and he found
that if he was determined to do g
thing, he could do it. He made such
a provision against every contingency
that he never lost anything. If Ger
tain matter of importance was to be re-
membered, he pinned it down on his
mind, fastened it there, and made il
stay. He used to say: "When man
tells me that he forgot to do some
thing, 1 tell him he might as we'll have
said, I do not care enough about your
business to take the trouble to think oi
it again. l once had an intelligent
young man In my employment who
deemed it sufficient excuse for neglect
ing an Important task to cay, 4 forgot.
I told him that would not answer; il
he was sufficiently interested he would
be careful to remember. It was be-
cause he did not care enough that he
forgot. I drilled him with this truth
He worked for me three years, and
during the last of the three he was ut
terly changed in this respect. He die
not forget thing. His forgetting, tt
found, was lazy and careless habit O
the mind, which he cured.

to find our past experience and our
own high grade of progress summoned
at every point-governmental, finan-
cial, educational and religious-to
bring better things to pass than these
island-dwellers haye ever yet known.
Southwark therefore has the year thrust
our influence, making American theo-
rles and American standards leap to
points that we did not reckon on when
our errand was first undertaken. Also
far out over the Pacific ocean westward
have the American stars been placed IN
armament to be seen OF all men
where they were scarcely known be-
fore. The islands of the great King
Kamehameha are ours; Guam is ours !;
the Philippines are ours. It has been
a strange year, a fateful year, great
year one whose every solemn minute
summons all OF us who believe in
America and its future to the Inavoid-
able conviction that in the affairs of
this great round world, in addition to
Russia, to Germany and to England
there is one other great nation, the
fourth of the big four, by whom all
other nations whatsoever OF the earth
are to be controlled, or guided, or gov
erned. The hands on the dial of desti-
ny never turn back they move forward
with the precision of the universe. In
the minutes, or the years, or the cen
turies, or the millenia that they record,
the weighing OF nations is going on.
Judging by our past, dare any man
predict that in the sudden and unex-
pected revelation to ourselves OF the
truth that no nation Iiveth to itself,
Americs shall be found wanting?

The deeds of the dead leaye duty
for the Lying; and SO as we rise with
sobs from bending oyer those who
breathe no more, may there come to
each American soul the determination
that though partisanship be sunk, that
though personal triumph be considered
of small moment, that though the in
diyidual by himself be small and OF
light influence, yet there shall be in
this time of our great testing so great a
reblrth of intelligent purpose and of
national unity that we shall shine in
the maryeling eyes of other powers
and demonstrate once more that the
nation of the fathers is not mere ira
dition, but living being that goes
forth at the call OF destiny to make
lighter burdens for weary shoulders and
a lighter influence in the dark places
of the earth.

English Railway Statistics.

The English have proved that only
fools and Americans travel first class.
The figures of railroad passenger traf-
fic in Great Britain published to-day
lend point to this proverb. Last year
there were 9G3, ,G13. .996 third-class pas
sengers, against 33,O37, 100 first-class
passengers. 1t appears that out of ev-
ery 100 travellers three travel first class,
six second class and ninety-One third
class. Out Of every 100 paid in rail
road fares passengers travelling first
class contribute flo. those travelling
second class contribute fS and those
travelling third class contribute fS2.

They Drank 1t Out.

Philadelphia Record: A Conshohoc-
ken saloonkeeper had silver horse
shoe hanging in his barroom which ne
bought for good luck, regaruiess OF tne
tradition" that the horseshoe should
be found, and that to buy one is con-
siGered the worst kind of luck. A
few nights ago several men entered
his saloon and drank at the expense
of the easy-looking youth who ac-
companied them. In payment for the
drinks the young man rendered a
brand new ten-dollar bill, which he
laid fiat upon the bar. Unfortunately
the proprietor couldn't change 1t, so
the liberal youth said that he and his
friends would drink 1t out. They
had drunk about So worth when the
saloonkeeper remembered that he had
some change upstairs and asked for tile
note again. 1t was laid down on tke
bar again in a lump. and as the pro-
prietor Strengthened 1t out he saw that
1t was a fraud, for on one side was an
advertisement of PHILADELPHIA de-
partment store. The disguised man
was SO intent on relieving his feelings
that the merry jokers went out with
out interrupting him. Next day lie
had another run of bad luck. and the
silver horseshoe has now disappeared.
