CTS of Boston in TITO the ropemakers and the calkers. the better to meet the soldiers, formed themselves into a society, at the meetings Of which infiammatory addresses were delivered and the most violent resolutions passed against the British govern ment and its agents and instruments in America The tories scoffed at the calkers' meetings and the term became in time softened into caucus.

A Nohle Personality the Result of

 Remember that the brain is the h. strument through which the real per. sonality expresses himself and he can only express what is already writ ten there, says a writer in the Nauti. lus Consequently, the external man will be just what is inscribed upon his brain, for all his actions must be die tated or directed through these brain records. You cannot saw wood with hammer; nor can the soul play a piano with the fingers until the knowl- edge of piano playing is written in the music place of the brain. You cannot show forth high and noble person ality until you have written within your skull a record of noble and holy desires; according to the tools you give it, so will the expression of your soul be.
 You can wind up phonograph, and you may make it run fast or slow, but you cannot make it say any hing that is not on the records. If some one had put his opinion of you n a record, even though you knew hat opinion to be untrue, you could lot make the record tell the truth; the only thing possible would be to make another You have written your opin- on of yourself upon your brain; you annot be anything else until you change the record.
