EVIL. THOUGHTS.

EVIL THOUGHTS.
There is 70 one who can sue
coed long in keeping himself
from vicious acts; whose
thoughts dwell W ithout restra int
upon unchaste subjects. And
only those who are pure in heart
will be pure and chaste in action
for the will power must educ ate
to love and to dwell upon pure
subjects. in early life. in order
that,he mind may be able to
educate these pure thoughts,
Flo" by these means only, can
the foundation be laid for that
purity Of character which alone
will insure purity of life. When
! the mind once becomes contami-
mated with evil thoughts, it re-
uuries the work Of years Of
earnest efforts to purge it from
uncleanneSs.
Impure thoughts fostered,
leave scars, which even time
will not Grace. Why YOU ask?
And the answer is, thoughts
harbored in the nina, drops
sparks upon the heart, that will
keep kindling and burning until
it takes the effect upon the
tongue, and then it becomes a
deadly poison. Then they de-
prive the soul, of glory, or vile
acts do rob the body of health.
God knows them even if no hu-
man being does; and if harbored
and cherished, they will tell
against the character in the day
of Judgment, as surely as viii
evil words and deeds.
The seventh commandments
with the Saviour's commentary
upou it, places clearly before III
the fact that charity requires
purity of thought, as well as'out
ward acts. Impure thoughts
AMI unchasts acts, are both VIC
lations of the commandment.
1t is vain, for anyone to sup
pose themselves pure, who al
lows his thoughts to run riot
amid scenes OF impure associa
tons, Many minds may no
perceive those filthy magma
tons of others but there is one
who sees and notes them.
They leave their hideous scar:
! upon the soul. They soil ane
, mar the mind.
And as the life Of any one is
r recorded upon the books o
\ heaven. they appear as bol'
witnesses against Us, in all thel
inmate hideousness. Fou

Huoo's Practical Side.

It may not be generally known that
Victor Hugo used to draft the adver-
tisements of his own books, instead of
leaving the task to his publishers. His
correspondence with his Belgian pub
fishers gives the following example Of
the great novelist's advertising style:
"After the middle ages. the present
time: Such is the subject of Victor
Hugo's double study. What he did
for Gothic art in 'Notre Dame de Paris
that he has done for the modern world
in Les Miserables.' The two books
figure in his scheme of work as two
mirrors rejecting the whole human
life" An encouraging example to
those young authors who cannot make
up their minds how much mOdesty is
enjoined by the best literary tradi.
