summer boarding house, when you meet
that charming individual who, In fit of
Spontaneous combustion, pours down upon
YOU de,uge Of fond and complimentary
sayings, take care, She is fooling you. Your
hair Is the most exquisite tint she ever saw
and your eyes make the angels wish they

Showers do not last long and should not
induce great disturbance. 1t is not neces-
sary to have "Old Titbottom's" magic
spectacles TO see through a nature of this
kind. Just pull the blndfold from your
own eyes and behold in her the shallowness
of superfuity That Is her way of getting
you turned SO she can stab more easily.
Go gradually and you are likely to avoid
the precipicos. The tie that binds takes
time and patience.
Gush IS allowable In its place. but il should
not DC given much room. People who gush
are at best uncertain quantities. The
mother of n charming son may tell you
that you are just the kind of girl she should
Ike him to marry, but do not begin at once
TO cultivate his acquaintance. for If he
happens To- be OF the same opinion as his
mother. she may change her mind at the
crucial period and prove annoying, TO say
the least.

Conscience
Is a faithful friend. 1t warns us before we
begin to do wrong and it keeps on warning
US so long as it has any strength left.
II demonstrates while we are doing the
wrong and reproaches after the wrong has
been done. And it is equally quick to ap-
prove when the wrong Is confessed and the
resolve to do better is made.
There is nothing so gratifying In this
world as the consciousness that We have
done right Right is might of the mightiest
kind.
Perchance IT is a small thing We yield

and If needed by that more living souls
would miss the he'll that is produced by
the torture of bad conscience.
The entire life of one beautiful child is
grievously being directed in the wrong
path because conscience fails to make @
coward OF her. That faithful monitor has
long since ceased to perform Its duty, and
now at thirteen II the child tells the truth
it is purely by mistake.
She has the most fascinating manners,
eyes that look out earnestly and beseech-
ingly and frankly while she perjures
her ruby lips with falsehood. and one
stands amazed TO think of her. If the same
energies were directed to the womanly
qualities the world could claim another

truth Her father does lie, and the great

When tyranniring pain shall stop
The passage OF thy breath.
And thee compel TO swear myself.
True servant unto death,
Then shall one v'rtuous deep impart
More pleasure to the mind
Than all the treasures that on earth
Ambitious thoughts can find.
The well spent time Of one short
Hour, moment then,
Shall be sweet than all the Joys
Amongst mortal men.
Then shalt thou find but one refuge
Which comfort can retain,
A guileless conscience, pure and clear
From touch OF sinful stain
