FORGIVENESS.

Nothing IS more moving to man
than the spectacle Of reconciliation.
Our weaknesses are thus indemni-
fed and are not too costly, being
the price we pay for the hour Of
forgiveness, and the archangel who
has never felt anger has reason to
envy the man who subdues it.
When thou forgivest, the man who
has pierced thy heart stands to thee
in the relation Of the sea worm that
perforates the shell Of the mussel,
which straightway closes the wound
with a pearl.-Richter.

ANTAGONIST.

Do not be afraid Of antagonism,
but face it manfully and with intelli-

strengthens our nerves and sharpens

er. This conflict with difficulty
makes us acquainted with our OBJ
ject and compels us to consider it
in all its relations. 1t will not suffer
us to be superficial. - Edmund

A very good way to make your stair

carpet (provided you do not possess
proper pads) is to fold up some brown
paper, or newspaper would do, five or
six thicknesses not as wide as the car
