SOME TRUTHS TO REMEMBER.

Make the most of your best.
There is no real love without suf-
fering
No queen is greater than good
mother.
1t is more polite to admire than to
praise.
The idlest controversies are always
the hottest.
The best thing is to do well whatever
God gives us to do.
OF all brave men there is none so
brave as he who is afraid.
Every day is little life, and our
whole life is but day repeated.
No good work is done by men who
do not put their heart in the work.
Fiction has no right to exist unless
it Is more beautiful than reality.
Walt! All great alterations in hui
man affairs are produced by compro-
mise.
All are not called to q state of per-
lection of their state.
To thank God for the smallest gift
an entire lifetime on ones knees would
not be long enough.
The darkest shadows of life are those
which man himself makes when he
stands in his own light.
If the best mans faults were written
on his forehead he would have to wear
his hat we'll down over his eyes.
There are hot springs in the human
heart that never leap to the surface
till they are bored through by sorrow
and remorse.
1 think that sometimes a mans fail
ures do more good to the world and
his own cause than his best successes.
We give the forces of evil too much
credit for intelligence. The devil is
clever but he has many tools in his
service.
It is much harder and more meritor-
ioAs to ask another to do charitable
thing than to do it ourselves when it
is in our power.
One must be severe. Life is severe.
God is severe. The Foolish Virgins
were only a little careless and lazy, but
they were shut out
Good men are of all countries, races,
times and classes; but you find more
of them tilling the soil than manufac-
turing it's products.
Best work is possible only to those
who take more delight in doing the
thing well. thoroughly well, than in
any reward they may receive.
| An irregular life is one in which one
breakfasts when he gets up, and gets
ur when one likes. An energetic man
is a man who gets up the moment he
| is awake.
A peasant girl who has lived foy
years in daily association with nuns
at a convent school is a long way on
the road to being a lady if she is pure
and refined.
Every man must give the world the
best that is in him, without fear or
hope of reward. The reward of genius
is labor, and none other has it right
to seek after.
Happily the world will be judged by
an All-wise and All-knowing God, and
not by a select committee of the un-
cody. To God alone all hearts are
open, all secrets are known.
The desultory reading of inane news
papers is deplorable. Its object is to
kill time, and as time is life melted out
| to US on the instalment plan, the aim
and end of it is suicide in fractions.
In this life that begins with a
scream and ends with a moan," deep
comprehension is sometimes given to
dumb souls-those souls that can but
| bow the head in mute thankfulness or
silent resignation.
! Good is never done except at the eX-
pense of those who do it; truth is never
enforced except at the sacrifice of its
| propOunderS. At least they expose
their inherent imperfections; for moth
ing would be done at all if a man
waited till he could do it so well that
no one could find fault with it,
Our hard entrance into this world
our miserable going out of it, ou1
sicknesses, disturbances, and sad en-
counters in it, do DANGEROUSLY tell us
we came not into the world to run a
race of delights, but to perform the
sober acts and purposes of man; which
to omit were foully to miscarry in the
advantage of humanity, to play away
an vulnerable life. and to have lived il
vain.-N. Y. Freeman's Journal.
