new ten commandments, which

have lately adopted is OF wide inter
est. This new decalogue is not pri-
marily for grownups. but for the chill
dren of the town, and II is expected
that the little folks will. in their
schools. learn the ten rules by heart.
Love thy schoolmates. for they will
be thy co-workers for life.
Love knowledge. the bread of intel
lect Cherish the same gratitude to-
er and mother.
Make every day thou livest the oc-
casion for some good and beneficial
deed; always SOW the seeds of kind
ness.
Honor good men and true women,
esteem all men as equals, bend thy
knee to no one.
Do not bear hatred to anybody;
don't insult people. The word revenge
shall not be in thy vocabulary, but
stand up for thy rights and resist OPP
preston
Don't be coward; stand by the
weak and respect and love Justice.
Remember that all goods of this
world are the products of labor. Who
ever takes the good things of this
world without giving their equivalent
in labor robs the diligent OF their Just
dues.
Exercise thy mind observe and
think and try to ascertain the truth
of all things. Believe in nothing mys-
ferrous. in nothing unreasonable; use
no deception either toward thyself or
others.
Do not assume that to be patriotic
one must hate other nations or glory
in war. War is a relic of barbarism.
Let 1t be thy purpose in life to
hasten the day when all men. as free
citizens OF free state. shall live in
peace and happiness. in true brother
hood.

full of discouragement and greatly
cramped by poverty, but of this he
seemed to take no account. His mind
was always filed With lofty and beau

to him but the entrance to a nobler
state of existence.
One day, when he was an old man.

,looked at her tenderly, stroked her
long curls. and said:
MY child. may God make this world

He had not been well for long
time before his death. When his old
friend, the artist Flaxman. died, Blake
said:
Il thought should go first. can
not think of death as more than going
out of one room into another"
A little mre than year after that
he died. On the day of his death he
composed and uttered songs in praise
of God, so sweet that his wife. as she
stood by. was enraptured by them.
My beloved" he said to her. they
