Come to me in my dreams, and then
By day l shall! be well againi
For then the night will more than pay
The hopeless longing Of the day.
Come, as thou cam'st a thousand times,
A messenger from radiant climes,
And smile on thy new world, and be
AS kind to others as to me!
Or, as thou never can'st in sooth,
Come now n let me dream II truth;
n part my hair, and kiss my brow,
And say My love! why sufferest thou"
Come to me In my dreams, and then
BY day l shall be well again!
For then the night will more than pay
The hopeless longing Of the day.

Self Assertion 40 an Asset.

From Success Magazine.
We often hear II said that II q youth
has ability people will find II out with
out being told; that IL he has merit, It
hand young men and women with
splendid ability, with good education
and fine training out of situations, or
In very ordinary ones, simply because
they lack that aggressiveness which
pushes it's way to h front. They arc
conscious that they have ability, and
they are Just waiting for somebody to
recognize 1t n to push them ahead.
Working right beside them are 9TH
ers with, perhaps, less ability, but with
that aggressive, ambitious spirit which
attracts attention and carries them on
past their more modest and retiring
friends. In this electric country Of
push and hurry n drive, people are
too busy to investigate merit or mere
worth which does not exhibit itself or
force its way forward. The American
people believe in the man who claims
something, who ssumes to stand for
something, who asserts himself; for
this assertion Is evidence of hat pro-
gressiveness which is SO essential to
success. II q man make no claims,
people taxi II for granted hat he does
not believe in himself. But the man
who asserts himself believes he can do
the thing he undertakes, creates conf
dence; and the employer is looking for
the nan who has a program and who
believes he can carry 1t out. He Is
looking for result n men who can
achieve them.
The fine grained, sensitive youth
feels that 1t il immodest, unbecoming
to push his way forward, to attract
attention to his ability to tell what he
can do; but while he Is waiting for the
world to discover his merit. and to help
him on, the aggressive boy beside him
has pushed his way to the position
above him.

Consider.


Consider
The lilies of the field, whose bloom is brief;
We are as they;
Like them we fade away,
As doth a leaf.
Consider
The sparrows Of the air of small account:
Our God doth view
Whether they fail or mount;
He guards IA, too.
Consider
The lilies that do neither spin nor toll,
Yet are most fair;
What profits all this care,
And all this toil7
Consider
The birds that have no barn nor harvest
weeks;
God gives them food
Much more our Father seeks
To do us good.

Advantages enjoyed by foreign mis-

IF the missionary can play a horn or

a clog dance, he will get the atten-
ton OF these people and later be able
TO reach their hearts with the gospel.
"The missionary who is full of hui

fell with marvellous distinctness upon
the white paneling, and gave me the
impression of some one erouching to
waylay me. I stood rigid for half a
minute, perhaps. Then, with my hand
in the pocket that held my revolver,
I advanced, only to discover a Gany-
mede and Eagle glistening III the moon
light,
The door to the red room and the
steps up to it were in a shadowy cor
ner. I moved my candle from side to
side, in order to see clearly the nature
of the recess in which I stood before
opening the door. Here it was, thought
I. that my predecessor was found, and
the memory of that story gave me a
sudden twinge of apprehension. I
glanced over my shoulder az the Gany-

: ssHave I got that right?'' said, and
moved toward the door. AS I did so,
the old man with the shade rose and
staggered round the table, so as to be
closer to the others and to the fire.
At the door I turned and looked at
. them, and saw they were all close to-
gether, dark against the freight, star
ing at me over their shoulders, with an
intent expression on their ancient
faces.
Goodnight, I said, setting the
door open.
cts your own choosing,' said the
man with the withered arm.
I left the door wide open until the
candle was well alight, and then /
shut them in and walked down the
chilly, echoing passage.
I must confess that the oddness of
these three old pensioners in whose
charge her ladyship had left the castle,
and the deep-toned, old fashioned
furniture of the housekeeper's room in
which they foregathered, affected me
in spite of my efforts to keep myself
at a matter-of fact phase. They seem
ed to belong to another age, an older
age, an age when things spiritual were
different from this Of ours, less certain;
| an age when omens and witches were
credible, and ghosts beyond denying.
| Their very existence was spectral; the
/ cut Of their clothing, fashions born in
| dead brains. But, with an effort, I
| sent such thoughts to the right about.
/ The long, draughty subterranean pas
sage was chilly and dusty, and my
| candle fared and made the shadows
| cover and culver. The echoes rang up
! and down the spiral staircase, and a
shadow came sweeping up after me,
| and one fed before me in the dark
ness overhead. / came to the landing
and stopped there for a moment, listen
ing to a rustling that I fancied I

silence, I pushed open the baize-cover-
ed door and stood in the corridor.

pected, for the moonlight, coming in by

| black shadow or silvery illumination.
| Everything was in its place; the house
might have been deserted on the yes

| There were candles in the sockets of

| gathered on the carpets or upon the

evenly as to be invisible in the moon
light. I was about to advance, and
stopped abruptly, A bronze group stood

with my face half turned to the pallid
silence of the landing.
I entered, closed the door behind me
at once, turned the key I found in
the lock within, and stood with the
candle held aloft, surveying the scene
of my vigil, the great red room of
Lorraine Castle, in which the young
duke had died Or, rather, in which
he had begun his dying, for he had
opened the door and fallen headlong
down the steps I had just assembled
That had been the end of his vigil, Of

that large, shadowy room, with its
shadowy windowbays. its recesses and
aleoves, one could well understand the
legends that had sprouted in its black
corners, its terminating darkness.
I resolved to make a systematic ex-
animation of the place at once and
