day he was introduced to young Mr..
Grinder, a newspaper man, who had a

his guest from department to depart

done.
Finally they came to the editorial room
In which Mr.. Grinder toiled six days In a

was unusually gloomy, and over each
desk an incandescent light made work
possible.

RESOLVE.

Build on resolve, and not upon regret,
The structure of thy future. Do not
grope
Among the shadows of old sins, but let
Thine own souls light shine on the path
of hope
And dissipate the darkness. Waste no
tears
Upon the blotted record of lost years,
But turn the leaf and smile, oh, smile
to see
The fair white pages that remain for thee.
Pirate not of thy repentance. But be-
lieve
The spark divine dwells in thee: let it
grow.
That which the approaching spirit can
relieve
The grand and all lucrative forces know;
They will assist and strengthen as the
light
Lifts up the acorn to the oak tree height.
Thou hast but to resolve, and 10! Gods
whole
Great universe shall fortify thy soul.

A Story of Mei.sonier,s Vanity.

To make himself look more manly and
robust Meissonier frequently incased his
diminutive legs in huge cavalry boots.
He prinked daily before the mirror and
was never weary Of comparing himself
with other small men TO show that he was
really not so very little. To the end he
confded to his friends the pangs he ever
suffered on account of his sm,u size.
Occasionally. but only occasionally, did
Meissonier find the desired consolation he
sought from his acquaintance. One aft
ernoon as the sculptor Dubois entered his
studio Meissonier exclaimed joyfully:
"What do you think! The corn doctor
was just here. and what do you suppose
he says? A six foot grenadier cannot get
any ligger corns than mine"
