The Discouraged Man.

Encouragement cuts the nerve OF
present effort and darkens the sky of.
hope for better things The evangelist
who coined the phrase, God cannot'
use a discouraged man." was a wise
preacher: he might also have said that
the world has no use for discouraged
man. Booker 7. Washington, in his
up From Slavery" gives the keynote
Of his own success in the following SEN
sible words: II do not recall that i
ever became discouraged over anything
that set out to accomplish. l have
begun everything with the idea that
I could succeed, and l never had much
patience with the multitudes of people
who are always ready to explain why
one cannot succeed" Such a spirit
will carry one through every difficulty,
and over every obstacle. Speaking OF
young man who was to come, an old
prophet said: HE shall not fail or be
discouraged" The reason he did not
fail was because he refused to be dis
couraged. The old doggerel, 20, do
not be discouraged" had a big mes
sage even though it was wretched|
poetry and worse music. The sky is
ever dark to him who keeps his eyes
on the grOund!-Service.

SPOKE AS A FRIEND.
Doctors Invitation Had Nothing to Do
With Advice


Mclaughlin likes a wee dhrop.
Tut he likes it often. His heart grew
weaker as his thirst grew stronger
Finally there came time when he
felt the need Of doctors advice, and
so he called ON one Of his friends who
was a physician.
He found the doctor in his study,
with a camel fire at one side and de,
canter of liquor on the table at his
left. The doctor reached for his
stethoscope, and the patient unfasten.
ing his coat, cast an envious eye al
the decanter. The test being over,
the doctor placed the stethoscope on
the table near the decanter, and said !:
Mac, you have bad heart; very
bad heart. Nothing organic, my boy,
but you will have to let liquor alone.
That is my advice as physician"
Mclaughlin reached for his hat. His
fears were realized. He tried to lis.
ten to good story" the doctor was
telling But he was in no humor for
Joking and he edged his way toward
the door.
Have little drink before you 60"
said the doctor, as he poured out some
OF the contents of the decanter into a
glass.
What do you mean?" demanded
Mclaughlin. Didn't you just tell me
that if didn't stop drinking it would
be the death of me?"
Yes, l did," said the doctor. But
that was the physicians advice. AS
ar old friend, however, insist on you
taking a nip now and then. Here's
your good health"

You were indeed self-sacrifcing to

Not to the swift, the race;
Not to the strong, the fight:
Not to the righteous, perfect grace:
Not to the wise, the light.
But often faltering feet
Come surest to the goal;
And they who walk in darkness meet
The sunrise Of the soul.
A thousand times by night
The Syrian hosts have died;
A thousand times the vanQuished right
Hath risen glorified.
The truth the wise men sought
Was spoken by child;
The alabaster box was brought
In trembling hands defiled.

But from the stars above;
Not from my heart life's crimson stream
But from the depths of love.

Dear Jack:-Days and nights have
sat here alone endeavoring to con.
vince myself that l could grant YOU
the wish of your heart, but l cannot.
Did I know less of love-its posi-
bilities and it's disappointments,
might accept your offer and become
your wife.
Wife" How sweet sounds the
word. Time was when I would have
bartered my soul for the tiny hoop of
gold the few words of priest entitled
woman to wear. How loved in
those days, and I experienced those
exquisite emotions revealed only to
those who can love but once
The memory of that love is upon me

though he married another, my
thoughts are all of him.
I tell you this, because know that
you will understand. / feel that you
love me and are sincere in your wish
to try to make me happy. Would that
you could, but tbs so long since |
have been happy, that I have forgot
the words meaning.
The world considers me a flirt-a
coquette. l care not, but could not
bear the thought Of your joining in
that opinion, so ! have opened the
wound and now night and day shall
pay an added penalty.
In those days Of love, imagined that
a great love would attract and hold
great love. But have learned the
sad lesson of life. Love tarries just
SO long as there are sweeter depths
to discover, newer delights to enjoy
Pardon me, dear friend, for my candor
but can but speak of love as found
it.
