WISE WORDS.

Find your right place in the Worlu
and get into it right away.
Half-hearted people are slow
workers. Believe in your task.
Work and think. Don't steal your
own talents by laziness and vice.
True goodness is like the glow
worm in this that 1t shines most
when no eyes except those of heaven
are upon it.-Hare.
Truth is the salvation of the world.
It Is the friend of all, even OF Wnom
1t strikes. Wounds made by truth
heal and cleanse; caresses of false
hood poison and kill.-Charles WaS'
ner.
To do your work because you
must. to do your work as slavery,
and theE, having got it done as speed
lily and easily as possible, to look
somewhere else for enjoyment, that
makes very dreary life.-Philliips
Brooks.
Trample under your feet the i'm
moral side of the maxim that nothing
succeeds like success. Let your sue
cess be goodness, and the goodness
will be your success. Leave luck to
fools, and act as though 1t had no ex'
istence.-Dr. Ambrose Shepherd.
I find that there is no worthy pur'
suit but the idea of doing some good
to the world. Some do it with their
society, some with their wit, some
with their benevolence, some with a
sort of power of comforting pleasure
and good humor on all they meet
John Keats.
BY giving to the repetition of an
act of duty a fixed regularity, | can
multiply my moral power in that dl'
rection as much as a man mu'tlplles
his material power when he gets hold
of a lever. BY faithful habit l can
make that which was at first labo'
rious come to be after while less
difficult, then easy, and perhaps al
last spontaneous and ,delightful'--G
S. Merriam.

A DOGS PRESENTIMENT.

l.. G. Meachamp, who lived at
Homer La, was a great hunter ana
had a fine deerhound, Dan, of which
he was justly proud. One day Mr..
Meachamp was going squirrel hunt
ing. and in order to keep Dan at
home he was compelled to tie him up.
The hound whined and begged, but
finding his master was obdurate he
at last lay quite peaceably before his
kennel all day.
At 5 o'clock in the afternoon, how
ever, when Mrs. Meachamp was be-
ginning to look for her husbands re-
turn, Dan became so unusually rest
less that she went out to see what
was the matter. In spite of her re-
peated efforts she could do nothing
to pacify him, and at last, to her
utter astonishment, he broke the
rope and bounded away over the
fence and into the woods. He was
gone probably half-hour, when he
came running back, painting and al
most breathless, with his masters
hat in his mouth.
Mrs. Meachamp became at once
alarmed, and calling her son they set
out to find Mr.. Meachamp, the dog all
the time bounding along in front and
leading the way. At last they came
upon Mr.. Meachamp lying helpless
in the woods, where at precisely 5
o'clock he had fallen in little ditch
and broken small bone in his leg.
The dogs knowledge of the accident
at the very moment of Its occurrence
seems almost incredible, but the truth
of this is beyond dispute.-Alliance.

A Beetles Strength.

A correspondent in the current
number Of Nature gives very re-
markable illustration of the strength
of a beetle. A specimen OF 'Apho-
dius Fossor," which is about half an
inch in length, having flown III at
his window, he put the lid OF a TIN
box over it, but the beetle walked
about bearing the lid on it's back.
He then put the tin box on the top or
the lid, and was absolutely amazed
to find that the insect tilted up a cor
ner Of the combined box and lid, ana
nearly escaped. The weight OF the
beetle when dead was half a grain,
alive it may have been a little more;
but the box and lid weighed l1oS
grains. The feat is compared 10
man lifting tolerable large house
without any assistance, and the
strength it implies is gigantic.-Lon-
don Globa
