The great difference between those
who succeed and those who fail does
not consist in the amount of work done
by each, but in the amount of intelli-
gent work. Many of those who fail
most ANONYMOUSLY do enough to ac-
chieve grand success; but they labor
at haph lzard, building up with one
hand, only to tear down with the other.
They do not grasp circumstances and
turn them into opportunities. They
have no faculty for turning honest de-
feats into telling victories. With abil-
ity enough and time in abundance-the
warp and wool OF success they are for
ever throwing back and forth an emp
ty shuttle and the real web OF life is
never woven.

repaired. Nature is doing that her.
self. She knows what the tired frame
needs just as she knows how to make
the heart throb and send the blood
coursing through the veins. Then she
takes that tired frame, lays it down on
bed surrounds it with the refreshing
air of night, covers it with the soft
darkness and lets the man rest. Tired
natures sweet restorer, balmy sleep,
visit him, and as the hours wear by
his energies are renewed, when morn
ing breaks and the sunlight steals
through the lattice, he opens his eyes
and is himself again. Or if he is early
to bed he awakes with the cocks crow
ing. Now who shall go to that man
side an hour before he opens his eyes
and say to nature, stand aside and let
him get up. He has had enough rest?
Well, Nature will say, you can take
him if you will, but | will charge him
with an hours loss of sleep and I'll
collect it out of his tones and nerves
and his hairs and eye sight. You can't
cheat me, I'll find property to levy

his teeth in her loved Ones calf.
Quickly she picked up stone and was
just about to hurl it when the husband

Beauty in dress is a good thing, rail
at it who may. But 1t is lower beau
ty for which Il higher beauty should
not be sacrificed. They love dress too
much who give it their first thought,
their best time or all their money;
who for it neglect the culture of the
kind heart, or the claims OF others on
their service; who care more for
dress than for their character; who are
troubled more by an Questionable
garment than by neglected duty.
