life. 1t is the worst of failures. There
are glorious opportunities in this world
for service He who wisely uses them
enriches both his race and himself, and,
dying, leaves monument which outlasts
granite, and is brighter than polished
brass. George w. Childs and Peter
Cooper are in this class.
The second most deadly instrument of
destruction is the dynamite gun. The
first is the human tongue. The gun
merely kills the bodies; the tongue kills
regulations. and ofttimes ruins charac
ter. Each gun works alone; each load
ed tongue has q hundred accomplices.
The havoc of the gun is visible at once.
The full evil of the tongue lives all
through the years Even the eye of
Omniscience might grow tired in tracing
the tongues work to it's finality.
More than half of the unhappiness in
the world comes from a perverse IN
willingness to look on the bright side
so long as q dark side can be discov
cred.
Take thy self-denials gayly and cheer
fully, and let the sunshine of thy glad
ness fall on dark things and bright alike.
James 2. Clarke.
'If we knew the care of trials,
Knew the efforts all in vain;
And the bitter disappointment,
Under all the loss and gain,
Would the grim, external roughness
seem, WOnu6r, just the same
Should we help where now we hinder?
Should we pity where we blame?
Tt would seem as if very few of us
give this power of kind words the con-
sideration which is due to it. So great
q power, such a facility in the exercise
of it, such a frequency Of opportunities
fer the application of it. and vet the
world still what it is and We still what
we are! 1t seems incredible. Take
life all through, its adversely as well as
its prosperity, its sickness as well as
its health it's loss of rights as well as
its enjoyment of them, and we shall find
that no natural sweetness of temper.

SYMPTOMS OF SELF
Some of the manifestations of the self
