MAKE EFERY DAr COUNT.

December Success.
The man who starts out in the morn
ing with q determination to do some.
thing during tho day that will amour.
to something, that will he distinctive.
that will have individuality, that will
give him subtraction at night, is a
great deal morn likely not to waste
his day in frivolous, unproduclive
work than tho man who starts out with
no plan.
Begin every day, therefore. with a
programme, and determine that, lei
what will come, you will carry it oli
as closely rs possible. Follow this u
persistently day after day, and yoi
will be surprised at the result.
Make up your mind, at the very out
set of the day, that you will accom-
pllsh something that will amount .
something, that you will not allow
callers to chip away your time. and
that you will not permit tho little an
noyances of your business TO spoil
your days work. Make up your mind
that you will lie larger than the triiles
which cripple and cramp mediocre
lives, and that you will rise above
petty annoyances and Interruptions and
carry out your plans in a large and
commanding way.
Make every day of your life count
for something, make it tell in the
grand>results, not merely as an added
day, hut as an added day with some-
thing worthy achieved. Success.

THE RdIYF DAY.
Henry wadsworth Lougtellow,

The day is cold and dark and dreary;
1t rains, and the wind ia never weary;
The vine still clings to the rnoldering wall,
But at every gust the dead leaves fall,
And the day is dark and dreary.
My life is cold, and dark, and dreary;
1t rains, and the wind is never weary;
My thoughts still cling to the inoldering
past,
But the hopes of youth fall thick in the
blast
And the days are dark and dreary.
Be still, sad heart and cease repining;
Behind tho clouds is the sun still shining;
Thy fate is the common fate of all;
Into each life some rain must fall,
Some days must be dark and dreary.

Thomas wentworth Higginson.


From etreet and square, from hill and glen,
of this vast world beyond my door,
hear tine tread of marching men,
This patient armies of the poor.
The halo Of the city's lamps
Hangs a vast torchight in the air,
watch 1t through the evening damps;
The masters of the world are there.
Not ermine clad, nor clothed in state,
Their little deeds not yet made plain;
But walking early, toiling late,
The heirs of all the earth remain,
Some day by laws as fixed and fair
As guide the planets In their sweep,
The children of each outcast heir
The harvest fruits of time shall reap.
The peasants brain shall yet be wise,
The untamed pulse beat calm and still.
The blind shall see, the lowly rise,
And work in peace times wondrous will.
Some day, without n trunpet's call,
This news shall o'er the eurth be blown:
The heritgge comes bask to all;
The myriad monarchs take their own.
