THOUGHTS or WISE MEN. ,

4 While a healthy body helps to make
q healthy soul, the reverse is yet, more
true. Mind and moral activity keeps
the body healthy, strong and young,
preserves from decay and renews life,
james Freeman Clarke.
AS you grow ready for it, somewhere
or other YOU will find what is needfu]
for you, in a book, or a friend. or
best of all, in your own thoughts
the eternal Thought speaking in your

Sorrows are often like clouds. which

If they were the garments of God
thrown of in purple and gold along
the sky.-Henry Ward Beecher.
TO reform a world sunk in dishon-
esty has not been given thee solely
over one man therein thou has quite
absolute uncomfortable power; him
redeem, him make honest; it will be
something; it will be much and thy
life and labor not in vain.-Carlyle.
Eager clutching at the delights OF
natural life, and making it ones chief
aim, is the sure way to lose all it's
sweetness and to miss the higher life;
while the subordination, and, if need
full, the sacrifice of life in this
world,' leads straight to the posses
sion of life eternal "-Alexander Nc
Laren.
There is greater variety of parts in
what we call character, than there are
features in face; and the morality
of that is no more determined by one
part than the beauty or deformity of
this is by one single feature. Each
is to be judged of by all the parts or
features-not taken singiy, but to-
gether.-Bishop Butler.

NURSERY SUGGESTIONS.

The apartment should be ventilated
during the night as we'll as the day.
A sick child should never occupy an
inside room. Fresh air is a prime ne
cessity.
The sunniest and best room in the
house is not too good for the child to
sleep in.
Gas stoves consume tho air required
by the child, and are not advisable in
sleeping room.
No sweeping should be done while
the children are in the room. If, how
ever, because of sickness, this is nee
essary, dust the furniture and floor
with a moist cloth and use a carpet
sweeper instead of a broom.
In the nursery medicine cupboard,
which ought to be kept religiously
locked, keep witch hazel for bumps
and bruises, wine of ipecac for croupy
nights and bottle of lime water and
oil for burns and scalds. For colds
and hoarseness prepare a half-pound
jar of lard a1d turpentine. Mix these
in equal quantities and melt over hot
water. 1t will thicken, but table
spoonful can be heated in a few min
utes at any time and rubbed on a
child's chest, back, neck and the soles
of his feet. A box of mustard has
place in the nursery medicine cup
board for hurried mustard plasters,
bottle of vinegar for bruises, a pack
age of absorbent cotton, roll of
bandages from half an inch to an inch
and half wide, tincture of iodine for
chilblains, ginger or peppermint water
for collie, chlorate> Of potash for sore
throats, oil of cloves for toothache and
a roll of surgeons adhesive plaster for
cuts. 1t is good plan for mother
to ask the advice Of her doctor about
simple home reme0ies.-A physician.

Tell her, then, Raoul," went on the
earl, his tone and manner changing
suddenly, that I was blind to her
beauty, her goodness, her truth, but
that I see all now; tell her that /
did not lo1e her when I first knew
her, but that love her now; tell her,
II she will but forgive me, will make

Sir Raoul promised. Lady Caraven
did not refuse to see him. He was
shocked and startled at the terrible
change few days had wrought in her.
He looked at the pale face
How you have suffered, Hildred!"
he said.
"Yes, I came to the end of my pa
thence at last. I can bear it no longer,
Raoul; it was life of torture after
all, and I will never return to it. I
could not be brave any longer
Poor child!" said, the grave, plying
voice. "Some words are running in my
mind, Hildred, about those who, hav-
ing put their hands to the blow, turn
back. May ask, are you one of those,
Hildred?"
What would you have me do?" she
asked.
Il would have you lay aside your
coldness, your pride, your reserve" he
told her. do not become a revenge
full woman. Your husband has, it is
true, outraged and insulted you; but it
was mistake. and he deplores it Bit
terly. Be generous; leave revenge to
small souls and narrow minds; rise
above it and forgive him.
She was quite silent for few min
utes, and then, as the mist rolls from
the hilltops before the light of the
sun, all shadow passed from her face,
and she answered him:
VIII. l Will 90 all you advise,
Raoul will forgive my husband. You
say that he loves me now. I shall put
his love to the test. If it fails, well
and good will do my duty without
the sunshine of love to cheer me; If it
stands the test, I will try to crown
his life with my love-
He looked long and lovingly at her.
"You are brave girl, Hildred-you
are good woman he said, admir-
ingly. II wish there were more like
you. I will tell Uric that you are will

In tho EarlY Morning,

In the early morning as soon as you
awake to consciousness, remember that
you are in the very presence chamber
of God, who has been watching beside
you through the long, dark hours; look
up into His face and thank Him. Con-
secrate to Him those first few mo-
ments before you leave your couch.
Look on towards the coming day,
through the golden haze of the light
that streams from the angel of His
presence. You can;forecast very large
ly what your difficulties are likely 10
be, the quarters from which you may
be attacked, the burdens that may need
carrying. Take care not to view any
of these apart from God. Be sure that
he will be between you and them, as
the ship is between the traveller and
the ocean, be it fair or stormy.-Rev.

With shiny eyes and pale passionate
face she swept from the room, leaving
the earl overcome with astonishment.

thought. Il have been blind, indeed.
How superb she looked in her indigna-

Lord Caraven did so, but his journey
was fruitless. Hildred refused to see

she answered simply:

earl was obliged to be content.
