LIFE.


Art is long, life short, judg-
ment difficult, opportunity tram
sient. To act is easy; to think is
hard. To act according to our
thoughts is troublesome. Every
beginning is cheerful. The
threshold Is the place of eXpecta-
ton. The boy stands astonish-
ed. His impressions guide him.
lie learns sportfully. Serious
ness comes on him by surprise.
Imitation is born with us. What
should be initiated is not easy to
discover. The excellent Is rarely
found, more rarely valued. 'che
height charms us; the steps H. ii
do not. With the summit in our
eye we love to walk along the
plain. II is but part OF art that
can be taught. The artist needs
II all. Who knows II half speaks
much and is always wrong. Who
knows 1t wholly inclines to act
and speaks seldom or late. The
former have no secrets and no
force. The instruction they can
give is like baked bread-savory
and satisfying for single day
but -four cannot be sown, and
seed corn ought not to be ground.
Words are good, but they are not
the best. The best is not to be
explained by words. The spirit
i'm which we act is the highest
matter. Action can be under
stood and again represented by
the spirit alone. No one knows
what he is doing while he acts
Alright, but Of what is wrong we
are always conscious. The true
scholar learns from the known
, to unfold the unknown and APP
proaches more and more to being.

DUTY.

A sense of duty pursues us
ever. 1t is omnipresent, like the
Deity. If we take to ourselves
the wings Of the morning and
dwell in the uttermost parts OF
the sea, duty performed or duty
violated Is still with us, for our
happiness or our misery. If we
say the darkness shall cover us
in the darkness as in the light
our obligations are yet with us.

A family began one day you'd think 1t

To build themselves a house without a
hammer. saw or ak.
And not a square or plane had they, and
yet they did not fail
To build the house as they had planned
without a screw or nail.
They went to work with right good will,
and when a tree they found
That they could use in building they fell
ed it to the ground
And sawed it up in just the lengths they
needed for the work,
Then put each piece together. and no one
thought to shirk.
And so they built their house complete,

And all the tools they had to use were

The beavers built their houses thus in
