| desires must be developed in conformity
with natural and divine laws.
Children sometimes seem to desire t
do the opposite to what they are told t.
/ do, this arising from their belief tina
| all laws and regulations are made t.
prevent the fulfllment of their desires
/ Such a belief is unnatural and a good
/ illustration OF the cause Of it is the in
stance of the grabbed father who told he
nurse to Find out what the children are
| doing and tell them 10 stop It," Thi,
/ same spirit of obstinacy in grown people

| in an entirely different way. We satteI

election until the returns are all in:
never form an opinion until you know all
the facts and then keep your opinion to
yourself If that be possible. Act only on
convictions Bear in mind that it takes
drawer and stronger man to change his
course than to stay in the old rut he
knows to be wrong. Said Polonious to
Laertes in Hamlet"
Look thou character. Give thy thoughts
no tongue
Nor any unproportioned thought his act.
Take each mans censure, but reserve
thy judgment.
To thine ownself be true,
And 1t must follow, as the night the day.
Thou canst not then be false to any man. y
In stead of arranging the facts to suit
your opinion, arrange your opinion to
suit the facts 1t would be ridiculous for
a corn-sheller to try to make wheat and
chaff out of an car of corn, but some
minds in distorting facts attempt things
equally as absurd. There are times.
however when we must decide which road
to travel Sometimes it is essential to
decide quickly. but generally there is
more danger in going the wrong way
than in being late. 1t is better to wait for
information as to which street leads to
he railroad station and then miss the
train than to make a hasty guess and
go down "easy street" and land at police
headquarters II you do not know what
to do sit down in a safe place and wait
Napoleon Bonaparte never made hasty
decisions even in a battle. His mind was
trained in logical work and he knew
just how to meet every crisis and did not
have to decide because he knew it might
come and was prepared for It. If you
have a conviction that you do not indulge
in intoxicating beverages, there is moth
ing for you to decide when a man asks
you to take drink: besides, II your con-
viction is very positive, no one will ask
it of you.

Elaborated and extended in It's natural

any difference to me. The fires of hell,
the toys OF heaven, the peace of earth,
the glory Of living, all are beneath my

with the same reckless indifference as
does the man who has lost his last dol
lar at cards or as the brute in planning
n diabolical crime: they are all liars
and the truth is not in them and no
one knows ii better than they themselves.
The drunkard on a debauch shouts "Who
cares for expenses" and men laugh at
him though they know the expenses
amount to at least one immortal soul and
possibly several. People who don I
keer are like the horses which refuse to
be led from their burning stalls; or like
the mules, which, when attacked by
wolves put their feet together and their
heads to the enemy and then kicked each
other while the wolves got in their work.
Why should anyone care to be indiffer-

Synonymous with the word. Moreover.
the Indifferent person is a coward
young man in his conceit would imagine
himself insulted If called a coward be-
cause he played cards on Sunday morning
during tho church hour. The statement
would nevertheless be true. He shuts
his heart and his mind from hearing the

interfere with his desires. The man who
says "Oh, haven't got time to listen TO

Bring forth thy jewels bright;
Bedeck the woods the fields and meadows
And not one branchlet slight
AS DER the hills and through the valleys
With magic fleetness, fly
Thy chariot wheels, with golden touches
Beneath a smiling sky
The daisies white, with purple centres,
The lilies. blue and gold,
Are peeping up, to ask thee kindly
Their petals to unfold
And Just above them, on the branches
OF maple, beech and bay,
The birds arc singing sweetest carols,
To welcome sunny May.
The peach and apple, plum and cherry,
Are each a bouquet fair,
Dispensing through the April showers,
Their fragrance rich and rare.
The lilacs, white and pink and purple,
The yellow jasmine sweet,
Are pointing. climbing towards heaven,
With gratitude replete.
The towering, pine and weeping willow
Alike their pollen shed,
And weave the woods a golden carpet,
Where childish feet may tread,
To watch the insects, bees and brides
Each foweret's nectar sip
0, little hearts, so gay and happy!
A spring song on each lip.

TO DAVIS now long gone by
The apple tree. the swing within it,
The wooing shadows nigh,
The fading sun, the bliss of evening,
When stars were laughing love,
The amaranthine wreath-affection-
By tender accents wove.
The spring of life! OH who can price il?
More precious far than gold;
'Tis then we plant for thorns or roses
A story yet untold.
But like the flower, so it fadeth.

The harvest next, all, who'll be ready?

For liver troubles and constipation
There's nothing better in creation
Than Little Early Risers, the famous lit
tie pills,
They always effect a cure and save doc
tor bills.
Little Early Risers are different from
all other pills. They do not weaken the
system, but act as a tonic to the tissues
by arousing the secretions and restoring
the liver to the full performance of it's

nal treatment is an endless, hopeless
task. Some simple wash or ointment
is often beneficial when the skin is
much infamed or itches, but you can t
depend upon local remedies for perfna-

throwing off impurities which irritate
and clog the glands and pores of
the skin, and as long as the blood re-

Some two years ago I suffered
great deal, caused on account of bad
blood. Small rash or pimples broke
out over my body and kept getting
worse day by day for over q year.
Seeing s. 8. S. advertised in the pa

cured several people j n this city,

After using the medicine for m
time, taking in all six bottles, was

are evidently prolonging the Christmas

There was not a car load Of fresh re-

week but after that time the indications
point to larger receipts.
