The days comes to us like friends
In disguise, bringing priceless gifts
from an unseen hand but if we do not
use them, they are borne silently
away, never to return. Each success
sive morning new gifts are brought,
but if we fail to accept those that are
brought yesterday and the day before,
we become less and less able to turn
them to account, until the ability to
appreciate and utilize them is ex-
hausted. Wisely was it said that lost
wealth may be regained by industry,
economy; lost knowledge by study,
lost health by temperance and medi-
cine, but lost time is gone forever.
In log cabin, in the backwoods of
Ohio, poor widow is holding a boy

the forest to help his mother. Eve
ry spare hour is spent in studying the
books he has borrowed, put cannot
buy. At sixteen he gladly accepts a
chance to drive mules on canal tow
path. Soon he applies for chance
to sweep floors and ring the bell of an
academy, to pay his way studying
there. Our readers all know subse-
quent history of this boy. His name
was Abraham Lincoln. Is not your

Tenderness. in fact Is more called for In

a person in actual pain or discomfort than
assurances of undying affection. Instead OF
smoothing the patients brow. quietly guard
against wrinkles in the under sheet. In
stead of feeling IL the poor soul Is fever

is hot and properly rolled in a soft towel.
or that the ice bag has not sprung leak.
Put your whole mind to dispoSing the fur

in walking around tables and chairs, nor
stumble twenty times day over the same
footstool Set all bottles. measures and
medicine choppers In tidy groups. upon
large, fiat plates. to avoid sticky marks on
window sills and table covers. See that no
light daZzles your patients eyes-if neces
sary, change the head of the bed to the
foot. Keep fresh drinking water always at
hand. and be sure that no used implements
are left about. waiting till some one goes

a time, as this may insure an immense saw
