THE BETTER THINGS OF LIFE,

(By Benjamin Keech.)
lis better TO speak kindly words,
lis better 10 do kindly deeds.
'Tis better to know
That the seed you may SOW
Will blossom as flowers, not weeds.
'Tis better to do with a will
The duties that come, one by one;
'Tis better to say
AT the close of the day:
i have tried to leave nothing undone.
tbs better to cultivate love
Contented with blessings of worth:
lis better to fight
For the cause that is right
Than TO covet the riches of earth.
It's better to smile. tho the heart
Be burdened with sorrow and pain:
Tis better to smile.
For It's always worth while.
And We'll lever pass this way again.

A New Year Thnmnht

When weary one night from the tot
of the day,
My heart with its burden cast down.
Alone and unaided on life's barren
way,
And all the world wearing a frowll;
heard the quaint tones. beating
measured and slow,
OF the clock, from its shelf on the
wall;
And. as the staid pendulum swung to
and fro.
in rhythm these words seemed to
fall:
Never give up. Never give up.
Time Will be given you
Never give up"
1.-THE past is gone, with its sorrows and
faults.
Then leave it and build you anew.
The past is dead, locked in memory
vaults:
And all living hopes beckon to you.
For brave is the pathway of life. Can
you climb?
Then turn from the years that are
dead,
With your eyes on the promise that's
shining sublime
In the years that are lying ahead
Never give up. Never give up
The great misty future says.
Never give up

Plus x to German Catholics

Here is a passage from The letter
which the Holy Father sent 10 Cardinal
Fischer, of Cologne, on the occasion of
the German Catholic Congress at
Essen: THE view we have long held
as to the sedate character of our SONS
i'm Germany was strengthened bv the
report of the discussions which took
place at the congress at Essen. Nor
did we derive less pleasure from the
oft-repeated declaration of the German
Catholics that they desired religions
action subject to the authority of the
Holy Sec. Daily experience proves
that this obedience. ALTHOUGH some
elsewhere may rail at it in Ignorance
leaves each one complete and most
ample freedom in thos things that have
no concern with reason, and therefore
that it begets that concord between
individual minds which. passing from
individuals TO society, secures the So
cial welfare, having a double effect. re-
iigious and civil. OF this your august
emperor showed his hearty approval
by his grateful and kinly reply TO those
subjects Of his by birth and of ours
by religious creed who offered their
homage to him and TO us as soon as
they had met at Essen"

Dear Sir: You are interested in the
prosperity of your town. You can
contribute to it materially, and give
it far more prosperous look at the
same time.
Perhaps the public property needs
a good coat of paint.
Devoe will supply that coat with
two thirds of the number of gallons
required of any other. Devoe is all
paint and full measure. Devoe is the
strongest paint known. Devoe will
take care of the property, in the long
run, for half the money required by
any other.
The reason is stated above: Devoe
is all paint and full-measure: the
strongest paint known.
E. d. Jewel, Cory, Pa, painted
his house 5 years ago with mixed
paint; took IA gallons. Last spring
he reprinted with Devoe; bought IA
gallons and had left. Saved SIS to

When Butcher Was in Paris.

The pleasant story, just brought to
light, of Humboldt's successful inter
vention to save the Jardin des
Plantes from the wrath of Butcher
serves as a reminder that the tough
old soldier needed many humane ad-
visers to- keep him from destroying
objects dear and important to the
French, says the London Standard
Wellington had often 10 insercede
with him, and that not invariably
with immediate success He resolved
to blow up the bridge of Jean. We'll
lington protested. But the French
destroyed the pillar at Rosbach, and
so on grumbled Butcher Yelling
ington seeing that words were in
effective, placed English sentries on
the bridge, believing that the Prus-
SLAMS would not make any attempt
on the structure while these men
were in position. But they did.
They mined one of the pillars and
put in a charge af gunpowder and
fired it, The charge exploded in the
wrong way and damaged the Prus-
slams, leaving the bridge and the
Englishmen on top in safety. This
having failed Butcher sought per-
mission to demolish the column III
the Place Vendome. The king OF
Prussia arrived only just in time to
prevent it.
Wellington managed better when
dealing direct with the French. An
almost unexampled instance of his
chivalry was forthcoming in the
movements preceding the battle of
Orthez-the only battle in which he
received an injury The French had
retreated over the bridge of the Gave
du Pau and were preparing to blow
it sky high The duke realized that
if this were done it would cause great
injury to the people of Orthez, so he
sent an officer to Soult with mes
sage.
A battle would doubtless take place
on the following day, he said, and he
promised that if Soult would spare
the bridge the British army would
not cross by it. Soult had felt re-
luctant to consent to the destruction,
for the bridge was on French terri
tory, and he willingly took his rivals
word and left it intact. Wellington
kept his promise. He led his men,
under heavy fire, across the river
by way of the fords and the bridge
stands to this day.
