seem 10 be running fast, but he COW
cred the distance in a., with a big
exercise boy pulling and hauling him
all over the track. l have worked on
him for two years. and do not know
when he can be sent to the races.

How to Receive Advice.

More wisdom is required in taking
than in giving advice 1t should sell
dom be taken whole. The great
thing, as we believe, is to take none
which ia out of character. To do so
Is TO regret IT. II we are naturally
slow of decision, we shall be hurried
into promptness at our peril IL we
are by nature placable and polite. we
must not take advice to be arbitrary
even in the best cause, says a writer
In the London Spectator. If we are
impulsive, we should take counsel
with a man of the same temperament
and stronger mind; but not with the
phlegmatic, though he be the wisest
slowcoach on earth. We all know
our own defects, and If we are decent
people at all our moral constitution
has set up certain compensations. To
disturb these is to court failure. So
far as the isolated act is concerned,
rashly accepted advice may be good
enough-and successful enough-but
how are I'VE to go on? 8liWe have
started on course which is out of
character, and we shall stumble until
we get back into our stride.
