Easy To he A Nobody"

1t is the easiest thing in the world
to be nobody" All that is neces-
sary is to do nothing, or to be like the
boy who, when questioned by his ia
ther as to why he has resfused his po-
sition as clerk in store, replied
"The work was too hard ; / am look
ing for something easy"
Look for "soft snap" Do not get
up in the morning until you feel like
it. Do not 60 to work until you are
obliged to. DO not put yourself out
to meet engagements. Never mind
if you miss train, or if you are half
an hour late at your work. If you are
at school, do not trouble about pre-
pairing your lessons. "Crib" when
ever you can, cheat as often as posi-
BILE, and get the best Of your teacher
whenever you see chance, and youl
progress will be assured.
If you are in college, never mind
about scholarship; the main thing
is to slide through. You can employ
tutor at the close of each term anC
"cram" for the examination. Have
"a good time" "and never bother abou
results-they will take care of them
selves.
DO not try to do things as well a
you can any way will do. If you ar'
saving IA board, do not exact your
self TO saw it straight. If you start It
make sled or book case, neve
mind about completing it; or, if yo,
do, put it together anyhow. Hall
done, botched work is just the thin
for "nOhOdies."

Part of the very nobility of the de-
votion of the true workmen to his
work consists in the fact that a man
is not daunted by finding that drudg-
cry must be done
A considerable part Of what we re-
ceiVe is not what we receive, but the
gratitude that grows out of it and the
blessing which follows the expression
of that gratitude.
If you could know the value of the
golden moments now, as you will see
them as you stand at the rim of the
grave and look back, how earnest
would be your work!
1t is not work that kills men, it is
worry. Work is healthful. You can
hardly put more upon man than he
can bear. 1t is not the revolution that
destroyes the machinery, but the fric'
ton.
1t is not alone angry or unjust
words that wound our friends. The
thoughtless words that bring up afresl
some sorrow, or that awaken Il painful
consciousness of personal defects, often
make deeper hurt than any others.
It's poor folishness to run down
your enemies. Hatred and revenge
never harm any one 80 much a. the
hater and still he will not let his de
stroyer go.
Let the current of your being set to
ward God then your life will be fillet
and calmed by one master passion
which unitcs and stills the soul.
