On life's Road.

All our WEAKNESS of suffering is
without avail to leave even a little
memory among those for whom the
work is done. All that is wrought
in despair, all that is loveless and
mechanical, falls to the ground. We
live for ever so much as a brief life
only in that which carries the
breath of our being, the love of our
heart. 1t is not in ceaseless routine
and grinding that we live, mol in
what is small and anxious. Ma
chimes will continue the tale of that
forever. No cog will ever be missed
in that endless chain. But we shall
not wholly die in the song we carry
in our heart, the love with which we
love the being of another, the smile
we give another wayfarer at dusty
noonday.-Collier's Weekly.

The beautiful effect of the seas

by p. Walton Harrison in the Sell

"Any one whom business OF pleas

pecially in the summer time, the
number and brilliancy Of what seem
to be glowworms shining under
water. If the traveller has extend

ed the malevolence we're holding
their revels on the bosom of the sea
and that this pale light which shone
around was the lantern guiding them
to their orgies. Here and there a
patch more brilliant than the rest,
now and again a dark, unilluminat-
ed piece of water, relieves the same
ness Of the general incandescence,
and where the sea is troubled by the
movements of its inhabitants, or,
still more, by the passage of ships,
it shows its sense of the intrusion by
a more than wonted display of bril-
liancy and hurls its harmless light
ming with much magnifcence.
"The wake of the ship is one sea
of liquid fire. Unless one has seen it
he is apt to think the language de-
scribing it extravagant and exagger-
ated, but any one who has sailed the
intertropical seas will know that
words cannot adequately tell the
glory of the sight which there meets
his eye, when the conditions Of the
weather most favor the display Of

Commencement Closes Institute

A very successful institute closed
Wednesday evening, with the Eighth
Grade Commencement. About nine
ty teachers were in attendance, and
proitted by the exceptionally good
work offered this wear by Co. Supt.
May Rudd. Miss Rudd had planned
the institute work in connection
with The chautauqua. so giving the
teachers a double treat. Several
special features, such as the good
roads lecture by Mrs Kathryn Fen
ton. the domestic science demonstra-
tions by Miss Norton. and the Ma
ture study lectures by Prof. Ather-
ton, placed the public. as well as the
teachers. in Miss Rudd's debt, and
were greatly appreciated by every
one.
| The Commencement exercises
were held last night in the chautau-
qua tent at the court house park.
