ONCE-OVER.

ITO be honest, to be kind, to earn
little. to spend a little less-to make
upon the whole a family happier for
his presence, to renounce when that
shall be necessary, and not to be emf
h'ttored: to keen few friends and
that without capitulation; above all, on
the same grim condition to keep
friends with himself-here is a task
for all that man has of fortitudc
and delicacy."
Perhaps the first time you read
them they do not sink in.
Read them again and again and
again.
There is a wealth of good in them
ITO keep friends with himself
would make an ideal world if every
man could truthfully say all that the
sentiment contains.
The man who is a true friend to
himself must be a good friend to ey-
cry other man or woman.
To put a blemish on your characte,
is to prove that you are not a good
friend to yourself.
