A SONG oE The ROAD.

Whatever the path may be, my dear.
Let. US follow it far away from here.
Let US follow it back to yester-year,
Whatever the path may be;
Again let US dream where the land lies
SUNNY
And live. like the bees, on our hearts
old honey
Away from the world that slaves fol
money,
Come, journey the way with me.
However the road may roam. my dear
Through sun or rain, through green OF
sere.
Let us follow it back with hearts OF
cheer,
However the road may roam.
oh, while we walk it here together,
Why should we heed the wind and
weather,
When there on the hill We'll smell the
heather
And see the lights of home.
Whatever the path may seem, my
sweet
Let US take it now with willing feet
And time our steps to our hearts glad
beat.
Whatever the path may seem.
Let the road be rough that we must
follow,
What care We for hill or hollow,
While here in our hearts as high as the
swallow,
We bear the same loved dream!

The Maternal Instinct

Writing Of suicides, Mary Z. R1.ya n
declares that ii is a fact that suicide
among women is far less frequent than
among men. Il believe the reason is
probably due to the maternal instinct. .
she says. Whether consciously or un-
consciously. the instinct of motherhood
even with those who are not mothers
influences women to self-preserva-
ton. This may come to be otherwise
In the day foTetold by some sociolo-
gists, when the maternal instinct shall
have died out, the race being recruited
by a chosen few whose offspring the
state takes in charge. Should such
condition ever come to pass, it would
be when civilization had grown TO be
mechanical

seIf-conceit.

This is one of the vices to which the
human race is most commonly addicted.
1t is vice with which, young and old.
learned and unleaTned, poor and rich,
are more or less affected 1t is found
even in those who, otherwise, would ap-
pear to US as almost perfect.
What is self-eonceit? It is a secret
over-estimation of ones own ability or
talents. It does not show itself openly
and directly, for then il becomes pride,
a vice which is abhoTTent to all. But
seif-conceit manifests itself in many
and devious wavs. Thus one who, by
election or appointment, is suddenly
raised from lowly position to a place
of dignity and grave responsibility is
apt to imagine that. by the very fact of
his elevation, he has all the qualities
requisite for the due fulfillment of his
obligations. He spurns the advice and
counsel of those who, by maturer ex-
perience, most rightly guide him in this
discharge Of his duties fooolishly fam
cying that by consulting others, he
might lower his dignity.
Again, there are those who imagine
that they are superior to others; that
by education. they are fitted for better
positions than those they occupy, and
hence are dissatisfied with their lot
They will not express themselves free
ly and openly on this subject, but their
conversation leads to nothing else. They
are constantly talking of what they
have done and of what they are doing.
They are necessarily leading the tonic
of conversation on to their own con-
Germs. What interests others doeos not

Marriage.

Marry in haste and repent at lei
sure is a proverb that is founded on
long experience. 1t is the common
sense of the ages crowded into one
sentence. Hasty, ilI-considered mar
riages are rarely happy. Young men
and young women should give consid-
cradle thought to the serious question
of marriage. In the Catholic church
marriage is a lasting contract 1t can
not be broken. 1t endures till death
How very necessary then that young
people should be careful in a matter
that may make or mar their future
And the way to be careful in this mat
ter is to be prayerful-to beg of God
the grace to be guided Alright in their
choice. Catholics should put their fu-
ture in the hands of God, and pray to
him for enlightenment Any consider
alton of marriage which leaves God
out of the reckoning is likely to prove
disastrous. But there are some peo-
pie who on this question act like the
girl who thought she gave marriage
careful consideration because she
went to two fortune teIlers, and a
clairvoyant. and looked in a sign-book,
and dreamed on lock OF his hair, and
went to an astrologer and to me-
dunn, and they all told her to go

Genuineness,

There is nothing which will add so
much to ones power as the conscious
ness Of being absolutely sincere, gen.
uine. If your life is a perpetual lie, if
you are conscious that you are not
what you pretend to be-that you are
really different person from what the
world regards you-you are not strong
There is a restraint, a perpetual fight
ing against the truth going on within
you, struggle which saps your energy
and warps your conduct. If there is a
mote at the bottom of your eye you
cannot look the world squarely in the
face. Your vision is not clear. Every
body sees that you are not transpar-
ent. There is a cloudiness, a haze about
your character, which raises the inter-
rogation point where you go. Charac-
ter alone is strength, deceit is weak
ness, sham and shoddy are powerless,
and only the genuine and the true are
worth while.

''Yes'm. She reminded me, an kept

There are a good many people who
will sympathize with the boy who gave
his answer. For there is something in
human nature that rises in rebellion
against that vexatious thing we call
"nagging." Many girl with good in
tentions throws her influence on the OPP

merely because she is not content to let

Heigh no. heigh no, the west is red:
The southwind is laughing low;
The thistledown floats on a spider'

And the marsh-bloom is all aglow.

And spin on your shining wheel:
The dance of the wild is in its song;
The fate of heart in its reel.

THE NEGLECTED PATTERN.
A weaver sat one day at his loom
Among the colors bright.
! While the pattern, for his copying
Hung fair and plain in sight.
But the weaver's thoughts were wan
dering
Away on distant track.
AS he threw the shuttle in his hand
YEARLY forward and back.
And he turned his dim eyes to the
ground,
And his tears fell on the wool.
For his thoughts, alas! were not with
his work,
Nor the wife beneath the roof
When her voice recalled him suddenly
To himself as she sadly said:
All, woe is me! for your work is
spoiled
And what Will we do for bread?"
And then the weaver looked and saw
His work must be undone;
For the threads were wrong and the
tOiOTS ulll11eQ
Where the bitter tears had yun.
"Alack! alack," said the weaver,
And this had been all right
If had not looked at my work, but
kept
The pattern in my sight,
All! sad it was for the weaver,
And sad for his luckless wife;
And sad will it be for us if we say
AT the end of our task in life;
THE colors that we had to weave
Were bright in our earlier years,
But we wove the tissue wrong and
stained
The Wool with bitter tears.
I'VE woye a web of doubt and fear
Not faith and hope and love,
Because we ever looked at our work
and not
AT our pattern up above"
