Shakesnoare andsEnolish.

There is an old, a very old, tale
told of a venerable lady who, after
seeing the play of Hamlet for the
first time, said, 1T is a very good
play as plays 90, but it is made up
of quotations" This good dame,
although she was probably unaware
of it, was acknowledging, in round
about way perhaps, the indebted
ness of the English language to our
national bard. Phrases, sentences
and sometimes whole lines from his
writings have been crystallized, as it
were, into colloquial English, and
there are probably more quotations
drawn from the works of Shake
speare than from those of any other
author, ancient or mOdern.-Cham-

How To Work.

Do it cheerfully, even if it is not
congenial
Make it stepping stone to some
thing higher.
Do it in the spirit of an artist,
not an artisan.
Endeavor to do it better than it
has ever been done before.
Make perfection your aim and be
satisfied with nothing less.
Do not try to do it with a part
of yourself-the weaker part.
Keep yourself in condition to do
it as we'll as it can be done.
Accept the disagreeable part of
it as cheerfully as the agreeable.
/ Choose if it is possible, the voca-
ton for which nature has fitted
you.
See how much You can put into
it, instead of how much you can
take out oft.
Train the eye, the ear, the hands,
the mind-all the faculties-in the
faithful doings of it.-Exchange.

True living consists in loving.
Cheerfulness is a duty we owe to
those about us.
Happiness is built up, step by
step, on the common-sense prin-
ciples of self-control, self-denial
and persistent effort.
The best things Of life lie on the
highway, and the most profitable
investment is to make a liberal use
of what is found thereon.
Resolute courage to suppress all
mention of small worries and pass
ing annoyances will give strength
for the larger trials of life.
If you have an impulse to do a
special kindness to any one, do not
let the opportunity pass; it is an
impulse from the Author of Good
Beauty wears its falrest reflection
when it enamates from a mind
strengthened by culture and from
a heart disciplined by gentleness.,
Marriage can only be successful
when it is entered upon with a def
finite consideration for the other S
happiness. A continuous harmony
cannot be sustained where caprice
is the prevailing note.

She had made a number of
surprisingly successful guesses,
when one lead pencil was brought

A Disciple of Cleanliness.

A teacher in one of the public
schools was endeavoring to inculcate
in her pupils proper regard for the
virtues of cleanliness. After her
instructive little talk she asked the
children to give their own views on
the subject, whereat a student of
eight raised his hand.

And George thereupon uttered this
