A Few RULES FOR DAILY LIFE
Do not express your opinion too
freely and decidedly when it differs
from those around you, for merely
saying what II think" when no good
will be done.


Try to give up your will and way
to others in trifes as in more i'm
portant matters, except where prin'
cipal is involved.


Do not complain of little discom-
forts, but bear them cheerfully.


Try to avoid making disagreeable
remarks of any description and
make no unpleasant comparisons.


Do not perform disagreeable du-
ties with a martyr-like air but al
ways cheerfully.


Do not indulge the idea that in
a different position from the one
in which God has placed you, you
would lead a better; happier life.

iness which so nearly approximates
godliness. But we do stimulate
a select few to greater care Of them

the tastes and feelings of others, and
in this we have sweet and lasting
reward. Thousands5of our young
readers will, by and by, reflect that
to our teachings they owe some.

little of their good morals andEery


much Of their good habits, and they
will, some way, thank us for our
earnestness in their behalf. So we
remember that when we preach
temperance and cleanliness and q
life Of thoughtful purity, We are
teaching our readers an all-impor-
tant lesson, and one which cannot
be too early learned.


There is a great deal Of selfish
ness in the world, and this trait is
manifested in nothing more than in
personal habits. It ought for ex-
ample, to be a sufficient inducement
to any man to abandon the use
of tobacco, to know that the habit
makes him offensive to all the
world. To the right-minded man
it surely would, for disguise it as
you WILL the habit Of using tobac-
co by eating It, or burning it in a
pipe or in roll, or putting it in
the nose, does make the person SO
employing it very dirty, very often
a7e in smell and very d1isagreeable.
The offence does not cease for days
after the poison is abandoned. Its
odor is wonderfully noxious and
wonderfully lasting. It is simply
detestable. Those persons who
contaninste themselves with this
dangerous and unclean herb ought
to be placed in a colony by them
selves, without permission to ap-
proach cleanly human beings BY
this means, and by confning mar.
riages among tobacco users strictly
to the members Of the colony, The
poisoned race would speedily
die out, because strong and
healthy offspring are not possible
from such union. Disease, imbe-
cility and deformity Of boby and
mind and conscience these are
the fruits garnered in the offspring
Of parents addicted to this selfish
vice. 80


In thus teaching our friends how
to be acceptable we are inculcating
a still higher moral-the moral Of q
pure Life. Fer impurity in thought
or act or word is always an offence,
always Objectionable. We demand
Of all the young as well as the old,
that they preserve themselves pure,
blameless and acceptable and free
from the contaminaGons which be-
set humanity everywhere.

And saw in the hard rough stone
The loveliest statue the sun shone on,

A figure diyinely fair;


With a tender, beautiful face
But the blows were hard and fast
That brought from the marble that work'at last

occasion was one Of the most enjoya-
BILE that has been my good fortune to
participate in for long time. Many
regrets were expressed at the failure
of the excursion from this place by the
members of Merrill Lodge, as they
had anticipated, as the good folks of
Orange had made ample arrangements
to give US hearty welcome and a
good entertainment and our lodge Ger.

The Orange people are whole-sOuled,
hospitable and generous, as we'll as
alive to the best interests of their
town and community, and hence the
salOon-man, with his pernicious traffic
and influence Is denied place among
them, which fact evidently shows
their good sense and wisdom. A finer
country and better crop prospects are
nowhere to be found In this county
than Orange.


Financially, the festival was sue

things to supply the inner man spoke
volumes in praise of the liberality and
good taste of the Orange fair ladies.

We are all familiar with the vast en-

intellect of Colonel Mulberry Sellers,

the proposed building of the city of

of which was destined to run up into
