Character is too great price to pay
for anything else in the world.
A little knowledge is only dangerous
when one is cOntented with it.
The clock of Christian character
needs daily adjustment from heaven.
He knows not Christ who thinks Of
giving Him second place in the life.
1t is an easy thing to fill the church,
but quite another to fill the congrega-
ton.
The Kingdom of Heaven cannot be
enriched by the plundered goods of the
poor.
The winds that blow all chaff from
the Christian blow all character from

The descent of the flesh to the dust
Is accompanied by the ascent of the
spirit Of the divine
1t Is easy to find man who can keep
accounts, but hard to find one who can
keep his own conscience.
1t Is delusion of the devil that the
Holy Spirit can get around to the
churches only once year.

KILLED BY MOROS.
American Outpost Surprised on a
FOggy Morning.

Manila, Aug. IA small party OF
Moros surprised an outpost of Twenty
seventh infantry at Camp Nicas. Ser
geant Foley and Private Carey were
killed and Private Nandorn was Sc
verely wounded. The Moros, who
numbered only dozen, were armed
with spears and swords. The morning
was dark and foggy. The attacking
party crawled to within few feet of
the sentinel- and then sprang upon
them suddenly. The entire outpost
rushed to the relief of the sentinels, but
they were too late and the Moros es.
capped The American sentinels were
terribly cut by the swords and spears.
The attacking Moros were all from
Bacolor, and the occurrence probably
will result in a move against the town,
which has strong fort and other de-
lenses.

THE PLAIN GIRL.

OD HERE are few regular occa.
sions on which every pretty girl
feels inclined to give vent to her
feelings by good cry" One Is when
her plain sister enters into the bonds or
matrimony with an exceedingly good
looking man.
1t is very notifying, if you happen
to be pretty, to be left out in the cold
and the pretty girl never has under
it is. And perhaps it is really good
thing for the beauty Of the family that
she is so ignorant on this matter If she
fully conprehended the brain workings
of that strange creature, man, matri-
mOny would lose it's dearest charm.
The handsome man marries the plain
girl. Cry as we will, this is a fact, and
one that we may test the actually Of
every day il we will.
To take up the question Of forlorn
beauty. Why is it? A man who is good
looking must admire beauty. He does
admire it; he cannot help himself. Then
why, the pretty girl inquiries, does he
marry her plain sister?
The answer may best be found in the
answers Of twelve Intelligent men on
he subject of choosing a wife. Each
tne stated seriously what qualities he
would look for in possible partner
and set them down in order, the most
important first, the less important fol-
lowing
Taking an average, their ideal was to
be as follows: First. kind-hearted, true
and sympathetic; second, lively and
fond of children; third. proud of herself
for the sake of her friends; fourth, a
good hOusekeeper and busy bee;
fifth. Il graceful figure and beautiful;
sixth, wealthy and clever.
The plain girl scores at once with her
sympathy: it is her chief and most pow
erful weapon against man. The girl
with good looks has no need to find
friends by being sympathetic, and it is
doubtful if people would believe her
sympathy to be genuine At all social
gatherings the plain girl is SO much
alone that her manner appears at once
modest and retiring. Let handsome
man give her half an hour of his COM
pany and her whole mind is bent on be-
ing agreeable But the pretty girl has
a score Of men to talk to- and falls into
a habit Of inattentiOn. The pretty girl
has harder time than the plain girl.

The day is done, and the darkness
Falls from the wings Of Night.
AS a feather is waited downward
From an eagle il his flight.
see the lights Of the village
Clean through the rain and the mist,
And feeling of sadness comes DER me
That my soul cannot resist.
A feeling of sadness and longing
That is not akin to pain.
And resembles sorrow only
As the mist resembles the rain.
Come, read to me some poem.
Some simple and heartfelt lay,
That shall soothe this restless feeling
And Danish the thoughts Of day.
Not from the grand old masters,
Not from the bards sublime,
Whose distant footsteps echo
Through the corridors Of Time.
For. like strains of martial music,
Their mighty thoughts suggest
LIES endless toll and endeavor;
And tonight l long for rest.
Read from some humber poet.
Whose songs gushed from his heart
As showers from the clouds Of summer :
Or tears from the eyelids start;
Who through long days Of labor
And nights devoid Of ease,
Still heard in his soul the music
OF wonderful melodies.
Such songs have power to quiet
The restless pulse Of care,
And come like the benediction
That follows after prayer.
Then read from the treasured volume
The poem Of thy choice.
And lend to the rhyme Of the poet
The beauty Of thy voice.
And the night shall be filled with music.
And the cares that infest the day
Shall fold their tents. like the Arabs,
And as silently steal away.

Till a the seas gang dry:
Till a the seas gang dry, my dear.
And the rocks melt wi the sun:
And l will luve thee still. my dear.

And fare thee weel. my only luve!
And fare thee weel awhile!
And l will come again. my luve,
