1t is the observing, the prudent, and

thlrtieth birthday, he can never redeem.
1t IS the early dollar saved that is the
valuable one IN later years. and the ear
ller one begins the sooner he will have
| financial standing.
The dollar judlciously invested at the
age OF twenty, will have accumulated at
the age of sixty about sixteen dollars,
whereas the dollar invested in like man
ner at the age of thirty, will have accum-
ulated at the age of sixty only about
eight dollars.
The most important thing obtained
while meeting with financial success, is
an established record which is worth

with record is sought for everywhere.
| There IS always plenty of room at the

These self made Young men and
women, are not as rule among our So
called society people. Society encour-

| that means ruin more or less, sooner or
laler, morally, physically, and financi-
! ally.
Is it true? more beautiful spring we
have never beheld, or are we fanciful?
But it does seem to us that things never
appeared quite SO beautiful. Every tree
and bush of the howery kind never
seemed under such weight of BIOS
SONS before, nor the air so freIghted
with sweet perfume. There have been
no storms to ruffle a bloom or scar a
leaf, and all nature does seem to unfold
itself wlh unusual perfection. and de-
spite all of the dark shadows that crowd
themselves into our lives here, as we
look abroad, we cannot refrain from ex-
claiming, it is beautiful world after all.
Yet, in Its brightest aspect, it is but a
counterpart to the world where the flow
ers bloom IN eternal richness beyond all
conception, and where the glowing light
is SO effugent, that earth in all of IT'S
brightness, would be but a shadow Let
US live for better and still more beauti-
ful and grander world than this, where
joys are eternal, and the brightness never
fades.
1t is often easier to be martyr for
cause than TO be a laborer in tit is
finished sooner; but the real good is done
BY those who 90 on. day by day, doing
what we can do, and We can do to the best
advantage, often is simply to see that our
own hearts and lives are right. The
most intense egotsm manifested bv
those who presumptuously assume that
they can help" every one that they
meet. 1t is possible TO live for others;
yes, but it is a crime to neglect our
selves.
Let but every mother demand of the
young man who asks her daughters
hand in marriage the same purity of char
acter, which he demands of the Young
lady, and great many men who are now
fortunate enough TO procure pure, noble,
young women as wives, would be COM
PEELED. to go through life in dismal
bachelorhood.
The woman who keeps the simplicity
of her girlhood. its generous impulses
and quick sympathies, and who adds to
her natural gifts to the enlargement of
study and the crown of experience, is
always at her best and never past it.
Nowhere SO easily and naturally can a
child be taught correct habits, neatness
poli,eness, respect for age, modesty and
gentleness as at home.
ii we DO not nelp RID the world OF
temptations and snares, how can we ex-
pect our own household TO be preserved
from them.

The pleasant things in the world are
pleasant thoughts and the act of life is to
have as many of them as possible.
Nothing but good character will stand
the test OF time and good character is no
accident.

Our brighter joys come to us when
we do things thsf angels would like to
do.
