The Hope of Misfortune.

Pain is a soul tonic Sorrow often
brings out the best there is in US. Hap
piness does not develop character 1t
gives it surface brightness and decks it
with prismatic bubbles. 1t takes the
deep-reaching arm of misfortune to trou-
bic the depths and bring out the pearls
that lie there The most magnetic faces
are lined by thought and noble care
Strong, unseltish love, even if mis-
placed and unappreciated, ennobles the
lover. 1t is the frivolous, vanity-born
emotions that fritter away character and
make faces insignificant. To fail in high
aim after earnest and honest effort, is
not failure. The gain it brings in
strength and discipline will appear in
other directions.
Misfortune has often, i'll the history of
the world, been the means of making Il
poet. orator, philanthropist, scientist or
statesman out of Il person whose career,
but for the misfortune or physical dis
ability, would have been commonplace
and Influence limited.
Often III life we get cruelty crippled
morally by a disappointment, a sin. or a
mistake, and we feel that our life is
spoiled and we cry out against fate In
our shortsightedness, we do not perceive
that the checkmate at the outset has

which he repeatedly alluded TO In dis
