Singing Through Life.

In the early days OF emigration to the
west traveller once came, for the first
time IN his life. to the banks of the mighty
Mississippi. There was no bridge. He
must cross. 1t was early winter. and the
surface OF the great river was sheeted with
cleaning ice. He knew nothing of it,
thickness, however, and feared to trust
himself to it. He hesitated long. but night
was coming on and he must reach the other
shore, At length. with many fears and
infinite caution, he crept out on hands and
knees thinking thus to distribute his
weight as much as possible, and trembling
with every sound When he had gone in
tins way painfully about hall way over hs
heard a sound OF singing behind him,
There, IN the dusk. was a colored man
driving a four-horse load of coal across
upon the ice and singing as he went. Many

laith' goes singing through life upheld by
the same word.

Sing. There is ever reason
Why the heart from its depths should
sing.
For the love of the Lord who loves US

The night may seem dark and starless,
The morn may be cold and drear.
But the day will come, the sun will shine
And the world will be full OF cheer.

And you with the spirit light;
The love of the Lord is precious thing
And His judgments are just and right.
What though few clouds gather
Over your MONDAY sky?
The glorious rays of love divine

Sing! for there lies before us

In the Lords own time-in the Lords own

We shall reach the beautiful land.

Phiiosol hy of Cheerful Mind.

To be cheerful when the world is
going we'll with you is no great virtue,
The thing Is to be cheerful under dig
advantageous circumstances. If one
has lost money, If business prospects
fail, If enemies appear triumphant. II
there is sickness of self or those dear
to one. then il it indeed n virtue to he
cheerful. When poverty pinches day
after day. month after month OF
through the years as they pass, and
one has ever to deny self of every
little longed-for luxury, and the puz'
zle of how to make one dollar do IN
work for two has to be solved. then
the man who can still be cheerful Is o
hero. He Is a greater hero than the
soldier who faces the cannon's mouth
Such cheerfulness is the kind that we
need to cultivate.
To acquire this self-commnnd, we
need to think of many things. We
need to guard against giving way to
irritation about little things. If we
can maintain self-control in small mat
ters, We shall have less difficulty in
maintaining 1t when great matters are
to De met. If we meet irrepairable
losses we must readjust our lives TO
fit the new conditions. There is no
great evil so bad but that II might
have been worse. Let us congratu
late ourselves that the worst is not
yet! There Is truth in the saying that
"eyery cloud has silver lining"
Though it may for n time look so dark
we can see no CLINT OF the silver. yet
We know 1t is there.-SIilwaukee Jour

The great highways of Europe are
none Of them built by the farming re-
gons through which they pass. No
rural neighborhood can alone bear tho
cost of good roads. The central gov
ernments in Europe pay half or moro
OF the expense of r0ad-building. In
France the broad roads which cross
every dep;.rtme are paid for from the
national treasury. The department
builds roads across every commune
The commune or township builds only
