ALL SORTS. How unfortunate it is that we generally envy others their suc cess instead of sharing it with them. Josh Billings wisely said: ‘••Success don't konsist in making blunders, hut in never making one the second time.” “Don't neglect the old folks, Love them more and more, As they turn their weary eyes Toward the other shore; Let your words be tender, Loving, soft and low; Let their last days be the best They have known below.’’ The only way to succeed is to ose your best ability. •: young man whorremembers his will receive lasting benefit.

THE OLD PLANTATION. “The environments of brick .and mortar, which wall in the mighty cities of the world, de velop genius and stimulates ac tivity in a thousand vocations of life, but they contract the ideals of men to the circumfer ence of a dollar, and shape their dreams of happinss to all th gilded forms of artificial plasure which money alone can buy.”—From Bob Taylor's Sun shine and Shadows.” THE DREAMER.

They breed by the millions with a little encouragement and inject their poison into the mind of man only to hinder his happiness and success.
