1 have belief of my own, and it COM
forts me, that by desiring what is perfect
ly good even when we do not know what
it is, and cannot do what we would, we
are part of the divine power against
evil widening the skirts of light and
making the struggle with darkness mar
roWer.-George Eliot.
The best things are nearest; breath in
your nostrils, light in your eyes, flowers
at your feet, duties at your hand, the
path of God just before you. Then do
not grasp at the stars, but do LIES plain,
common work as it comes, certain that
daily duties and daily bread are the
sweetest things of life.-Lyman Abbott.
1t is the sunshine which puts the beau
tiful color on the apple and the foliage
of the forest in the fall, and just so u
bright and cheerful way with men puts
rich coloring on all persons and things
with which they come in contact.
Four things a man must learn to do
If he. would make his record true
To think without confusion clearly,
To love his fellow men sincerely.
To act from honest motives purely,
To trust in God and heaven securely.
New York Independent.
Take thy self -denials gayly and cheer
fully and let the sunshine OF thy gladne5s
fall on dark things and bright alike
James F. Clarke.
How mankind defers from day to day
the best it can do and the most beautiful
things it can enjoy without thinking tnat
every day may be the last one ana that
lost time is lost eternity!-Max Muller.
oh! a wonderful thing. is a seed:
The one thing deathless ever,
The one thing changeless,7 utterly true,
Forever old, forever new,
And tickle and faithlesS never.
Plant hate. and hate will spring;
Plant love- and live will grow;
Today YOU may SOW, tomorrow Will pr1nS
The blossoms that show what sort OF
thing
Is the seed-the seed that you SOW.
If we want to feel how really benef--
cial the cheerful man or the cheefful
woman is in the scheme of things, let US
foregather for time with the 1uguprlouS
opposite, the man or woman who Is in
the Valley of Humiliation all the time:
who sees nothing but the seamy side or
everything; who regards the velvet OF
the rose petal as fuStian and its tint as
poisonous; who could not attribute good
motive to a fellow mortal, and whose
only refuge seems to be the grave TO
which all Who come in contact with such
an embodied whine commend him. How
ever, as a touchstone of real worth, we
are inclined to doubt whether Cheerful
ness is to be depended upon with such
absolute certainty as HelpfulneSS ana
Kindly Thoughtfulness.
THE SMILE THAT COUNTS.
IT'S easy to smile when the sun smiles
too,
And the sky is a field of blue;
But give me your smile when the sun IS
gone sgsr
And the sky, is OF, leaden hue.
IT'S easy to smile when the f1ow'rs smile
too,
And you walk in their doors sweet;
But give me your smile when the flow
ers lie dead
And the thorns prick your weary feet.
IT'S easy to- smile when the birds sing
And You bark to the ripping rin;
But give me your smile. when the waters
sigh
| And the songs of the birds are still.
IT'S easy tossmile when the world smiles
And io You walk with With a j joyous heart;
But give me your smile when the whole
world frowns;
Can you smile when the teardrops
