THE MAN WHO TALKS

gets trust. There is nothing sudden about confidence, and once violated It is checked by the fear which 1t mas created. How Germany was trusted by the civilized nations. and how vll- lianously she abused world confluence, and how wickedly violated all her treaty pledges and all the recognized principles of decency and humanity. She has made herself appear to be wholly without conscience in ner deal ings with all the nations of the earth; and now beholding the evidences ot her own wichedneSs she must be tor mented by the fear that as she has dealt with her neighbors they will deal with her. Germany has got to meet the world conditions she has created, and it is going to be slow and painful work for her to make amends and overcome them, and as she recognizes her duty and noDly meets it. Conft- dence will be restored: but probably not during the present generation
 How the little ills of life do disturb some people. They are not quite as numerous as ants, but there is never a shortage. We all have our share of them Apparently our Heavenly Fla ther never meant that one of us should go scott free of these little fleas in the school of experience. They may be common sense stimulators, for they were never designed to be made much Of but to be forgotten like the prick of a pin, and other little annoyances incidental to life's occupations. It is not wise to magnify them into netting disturbances, or as generators of mis- cry. If we are sensible we realize that it doesn't pay to let inconsequen- tial things play upon our nerves. ,n ,erI1{ xteaS . 5hn not even be allowed to tarry in the pew closest to the door We are all as individuals given authority, and taose suffer most who fail to awake to their power and use it. Do not let the little disturbances of life discon- cert you!
 Have you thought that when bird leaves it's nest in autumn and flies to milder climes that it leaves behind it's certificate of character. A Goshen farmer sent me the other day two nests taken from trees in his orchard an orioles nest and the nest of a viroS-the first pensile and the second cup shaped and both as firmly fast aned to the branches as if secured by human hands. These nests were both designed to fit their locations; and show the makers had judgment and skill, that the materials were selected with taste, and combined with atten- ton to comfort and purpose: and they were decorated, or camouflagsd, in a way to makef them less conspicuous among the foliage. The pocket shaped nest of the oriole. interwoven with 1 twine and horse hair, and as thick az l heavy felt deftly lined with soft wood 1 fibre. and grass, waterproof and wei ventilated. and the cup-shaped nest 1 Of the vireo was attached 10 the 1 branches with the brown silk of some l caterpillar or spider. woven of Wooo | fibre and coarse grasses. neatly lined with hay and adorned or mottled witt | the egg sacks of a field spider, mak- | ing the exterior gray and white.
