Value of Learning.

Learning, if rightly applied. makes
a young man thinking, attentive, in
dustrious, confident, and wary; and
an old man cheerful and useful. 1t
Is an ornament in prosperity, a
refuge in adversely, an entertainment
at all times; it cheers in solitude.
and gives moderation and wisdom in
all circumStances.-Palm

Thought That HELPS,

In old days there We're angels who
came and took men by the hand and
led them away from the city of de-
structiOn. We see no white-winged an
gels now. But yet men are led away
from threatening destruction; a hand
Is put into theirs, which leads them
forth gently toward calm and bright
land, so that they look no more back
ward, and the hand may be little
child's.-George Eliot. ....
