Pride and Awe.

The Successful Man. who had gone
to the city in his early youth to make
his fortune, was inspecting his native
village 1t was the first time in many
years that he had set foot in the old
town and he was amazed at its
shrunken appearance The friend OF
his boyhood had him in TOW. with a
mingled feeling of pride and awe
Its fine to be back again" said the
successful man.
It's fine to have you back" re-
marked the friend of his boyhood.
Here awe was uppermOst.
still things look rather run down
around here" unused the successful
man.
Here awe got a severe jolt and pride
asserted herself.
Run down." snorted the friend of
his boyhood Il should say they are
run down. Why, there's an automo-
bile comes through here about every
three hours!"

REFINEs BRAIN AND SPIRIT.
Result of Continued Physical Suffer
ing-Some Thoughts on RELATIVE
ity of Human Suffering.

After all the relatively of human
misery is a matter of profound sig
nificance to the miserable 1t is idle
to say that we cannot bear our own
pang any better because some one
else suffers a sharper one. In point
of fact, if we do not bear it better
for knowing how much more severe 1t
might be we are either stupid or I'M
grateful, or both, and which of US is
ready to answer to this charge? 1t
is the tendency of continued physical
suffering to refine the brain and the
spirit, and as class, invalids are not
dull; nor do l think them lacking in
gratitude. writes Elizabeth Stuart
Phelps in Harper's Bazaar
Take the situation without idle ro-
nance or misdirected restlessness.
You suffer pain. But can you sleep?
Generally speaking, can you command
a sufficient number of hours uncon-
sciousness out of the "a? Then is
pain a secondary and quite manage
able affair. Your nerves are shaken
or shattered. But are you disabled?
Can you move 4,bout? Then, if you
cannot (Which is altogether possible),
exercise your Reryeps system into
obedience At least, you can control
it so far that you oughE to thank
heaven for every motor muscle left at
your command.
