The meaning of song goes deep
Who is there that, in logical words,
can express the effect music has on US?
4 kind of inarticulate, unfathomable
speech, which leads us to the edge Of
the infinite, and lets us for nements-
gaze into that.


All politeness is owing to liberty.
We polish one another and rub off our
corners and rough sides by SORT Of
amicable collision To restrain this IS
inevitably to bring rust upon mems TN
derstandings.


The whole creation is tuned to
harmony and played upon by the 6ng-
ers of God; and if any heart were less
smartly struck and rang less sharply
out beneath the pain, the. fuh harmony
of the anthem oflife might be wanting
and IN I, the score itself be imperfect

Lord love you when we see
what SOME people do all the week.
people who are staunch at church, re-
member,--I can't help thinking there
are good many poor souls who are
only Christians at morning and after
noon ervice.--Dickeas,


--One ought to love society if he
wishes to enjoy solitude, Il is a So
cial nature that solitude works upon
with the most various power. IF one
is misanthropic and betakes him to-
loneliness chat he may get away from
hateful things, solitude IS silent
emptiness to him.--Z,n,aaenuan.


Il take it for a rule chat the nat
ural and not the acquired man is the
companion. Learning, wit, gallantry,
and good breeding are all but subord-
mate qualities in society. and are of
no value but as they are subservient to
and tend to a certain
manner of being or appearing equal to
the rest of the company.-Steele.


-"The man who never failed is q
myth. Such one never lived. and is
never likely to. All success is series
Of Efforts, in which, when closely view
ed, are seen more or less failures. The
mountain is apt to overshadow the hill,
but the hill is a realty nevertheless. If
you fail now and then, don't be discour-
aged. Bear in mind it is only the part
and experience Of every successful
MAN."


If the time comes when you must
lay down the fiddle and the bow, when
the FIRE of life has burned 50 low, that
where its fame reverbrated there is on
ly the somber strain Of regret, and
where its Goals glowed only the white
ashes that cover the embers of memo
ry-don't let your heart grow cold,
and you may carry cheerfulness and
love withdyo into the teens Of your
second century, if you can last so long.



TO comprehend mans life it is
necessary to know not merely what he
does, but also what he purposely leaves
undone. There is limit to the work
that can be got out Of human body
or human brain. and he is wise man
who wastes no energy on pursuits for
which he is hot fitted and he is still
wiser who, from among the things that
he can do well, chooses and resolutely
follows the best.--Gtadstonc.


THE cross has twined around it
every association of dignity and beauty
in the world. No one thing has re-
ceived from the fertile minds and hands
Of men Of genius, 50 many intricate
beauties as the Cross of Christ. It is
a memorial of two thousand years Of
history. Around that simple cross
wood has gathered for twenty centuries,
its stories of admiration, of love, of de-
votion."


THAT sex which almost alone WAS
friendly to the Savior--which annoint-
ed his feet with ointment, and follow
ed him with tears to his cross-which
prepared sweet spices for his burial,
and was the first to hail his resurrec-
ton, has, in turn, been especially be-
friended by his gospel 1t has raised
her from the degrading condition of a
slave, or her still more degrading posi-
ton as mere instrument of passion.
to be refined and purifying influence
in society, and to lend to home dignity
and the grace of a mother, wife,
sister, and daughter.-Rev. DR.. Chap
