ASPIRATION as u success Winner.
From Success.
There is always hope for a youth who
aspires, who has a divine hunger for
growth, real affection for goodness. a
longing to be better and to do better; who
does right because he loves to, whose very
soul yearns for the atmosphere Of the good,
the pure, and the true.
Somehow, everybody loves an aspiring
soul that looks up, that longs for the light
that shuns darkness. that loves harmony
and purity. and shrinks from discord and
ugliness. ASpiration-the longing for the
good, the beautiful and the true-purif1es
the mind, clarifies the faculties sharpens
the intellect, and gives unity, purpose and
direction to the life. An aspirer does not
dissipate his energy as does groyeller
His singleness of aim gives purity OF pur-
pose, and his transparency Of character
1t gives confidence, and makes his success
easier.
A man who does not feel any need Of
stiffness and sneaking, but stands out
boldly in the light, fearing nothing but to
do wrong, Is the man who carries convic-
tion and weight in a community.
It is astonishing how hard q Wrong-doer
works to succeed,-the shifting to which
he resorts, to cover up his crookedness.
The excuses and apologies which he is
compelled to make. to cover up his tracks
How unfortunate 1t is, If youth does
not know, when he stands upon the thres-
hold of active life. that absolute honesty
and transparency, of character are the
quickest means OF promotion; that int ayrtty
is the shortest road to Success

One Passenger Too Many.
From the New York Times.

A good story is going the rounds OF the
offices Of the Metropolitan Street Railway
Company up in the big building at Broad
way and Houston street concerning the
wonderful presence Of mind displayed re-
Gently by a new conductor on one Of the
cempany's trolley cars. The particular car
was bowling along up Broadway recently
when it was hailed and boarded by COM
pany Inspector
The official hurriedly counted the passen-
gers In the car and found that there were
nine. Then he cast his eye up to the regis
ter and found that there had been only
eight fares rung up. He disclosed his iden-
tity to the new conductor and called at
tention to the discrepancy.
Slowly and painfully the new hand
counted over his passengers and then
scanned his register.
"Begorra, an you're roight SIR" he said,
and promtly stopped the car.
Say" he demanded, addressing the pas
sengers in an authoritative manner, wan

from tne iDnuon ShIohitie.
The deliberate proceedings In connection
with the coronation OF Edward VII afford
a striking contrast to the hurried ones OF
James II. He at once appointed COM
mittee Of the lords of the privy council.
which met on February 16, 1885, just ten
days after the death OF Charles IL, to con-
slider the manner Of the coronation. At this
meeting the king presided. and the pro-
ceedings Of the coronations Of James / and
Charles II were read. On February ID
commission was granted to consider the
claims. At meeting on February % list
of regalia was presented, and Sir Christie
pher Wren was directed to present an esti-
mate Of cost of scaffolding In the Abbey and
in Westminster Hall. On the 2Sth resolutions
were passed concerning the dress to be
worn by peers and peeresses. Charles II
must have possessed the gift Of second
sight when he apologized for taking so long
a-dying.

Give Everybody a Chance.

From the Woman's Home Companion.
Emerson's dictum that we should treat
every one as IL he were all he ought to be
is an excellent rule to practice in daily life
1t is human nature to rise to the level that
is expected of 1t. 1t is not necessary to
waste time upon uncongenial people unless
you are bound to them by strong family
ties; but it is important that all with whom
you come In contact be studied with the
desire on your part to give credit for all
that is good in them, and that nothing IN
their outward circumstances or appearance
be allowed to prejudice you against them.
