ness was the inheritance of his
ily. It enveloped his only sister,
and constantly hung its
over his own mind. The only joy
in his life was his love for that de¬
mented creature, and the intensity
of his devotion but agonized him
the more that she moved in immed¬
icable madness.
With only bleakliness in his own
life he determined to labor for the
cheerfulness of others. He perse¬
vered in that purpose and gave the
world the most delightful essays in
any literature—essays which have
given balm and stimulation to many
a dejected life.
It is not pertinent here to specify
any of the cases in which men,
through tenacity of purpose, have
grown from lowliness to greatness.
It is not the purpose of this article
to encourage utopian ideas of revo¬
lutionizing one’s estate in life mira¬
culous advancement.
It is the rule of life that men do
not get far from the environments
that confront them at the thres¬
hold of maturity. But this is not
so much because of natural impedi¬
ments or insuperable difficulty as

able and impossible things, and il
lusioiiary surroundings, but pur

computation of one’s abilities, and
due reckoning of the condition to
be confronted.
Think highly of what you do
and you will come to do highly.
Don’t place a premium on the lot of
other men and discount your own.
If you are barred from the avoca¬
tion most desired, do not resolve
your life into failure, Put by des
pondency as you would an infected
garment. Value life not for itself
but for the achievements you can
put into it. Be not self important
nor self absorbed in the sense that
you are all in all to yourself, but
nourish that pride of individuality
that inspires energy and the pur¬
pose to do some worthy thing which
will establish you above inferiority.
Guage yourself as scrupulously as
you do others and you will find
much to mend which will be of
large advantage. What a world of
us conceal grievous faults from our
own consciousness, or recognizing
them, defer the mending. It is well
to view our faults as luxuries

between purpose and intention.

Worse Than a Nightmare.
Mr. McSwat groaned in his sleep
rolled over and aivoke.
He sat bolt upright in bed.

easy motions had aroused from her
slumbers.

large and lugubrious yawn.

Billiger ?”
“I didn’t say it was a nightmare.
I said it was something like a night
mare.
i i Something terrible looking at
you over the footboard of the bed,
and you tried to scream and you
couldn't? Was it like that?”
“No, it wasn’t a big fish with
horns and a contralto voice trying
to swallow me. Suppose you qui

about to happen—do I make n y

“Yes, yes. Goon. > >
“There was an indefinite sensa
