meaning to engrave, to cut into fur
rows. Now, then, a good strong
character does not come to one hap
hazard. The honest purpose, and
lofty ideal, must be furrowed in, and
engraved indelibly on heart and
brain. Every wrong impulse resist
ed, and every decision made for the
right, leaves an impression which
goes toward the building of charac-
ter.
Guild it well, whate'er you do;
Build it straight and strong and
true;
Build It clean and high and broad;
Build it for the eye of God"

You Can't Fool Us.
You can't fool usl

You can't fool usi
I turned to learn the cause of their
evident derision, and saw, walking
along with a very important air, a
little fellow carrying what appeared
to be a large book under his ARM.
"There's nothing inside of til" the
boys continued to shout. "You can't
fool usp'
I looked closer, and sure enough,
the little chap had nothing but. the
cover of the book. He started off
with a guilty expression on his face,
as if ashamed of being discovered
in the act of deception; for his evil
dent purpose had been to impress
his young friends with his superior
literary attainments.

But his friends cannot respect him
and they sneeringly remark, "You

Some years later I see him apply

prise a young fellow much inferior
IN personal appearance, and lacking
that "I know it all" air, is given the
preference.
"AH on the surface there" thinks
the man in the office, as he watches
this applicant saunter off.
