He is happy whose eircuinstate,
cos suit his temper ; but he isi
more excellent who can suit his;
temper to any circumstance.
First among the things to be
thankful for isa thankful spirit
.Some people would grumble at
the accommodations in heaven
if they evergot there.
If a man has a right to be
proud of anything, it isof a good
action done as it ought to be.
without any base interest lurking
at the bottom of it.

One great reason why the great
work of reformation goes on so

Trials are moral ballast that

heaven rarely fails to lit the back

nothing to bear wo can seldom

A lantern-jawed young man
stopped nt the post-cilice recently,
and yelled out:
“Anything for the Wattses ?’
George Poteet, our polite post
master,replied, “No there is not,’
“Anything for Jane watts
“Nothing.’
“Anything for Ace Watts ?’
“No.’
“Anything for Bill Watts ?’
“No, sir.’
“Anything for Tom Watts?’
“No, nothing.’
“Anything for ‘Fool.Toe’Wntts?'
“No, nor Hick Watts, nor Jim
Watts, nor Sweet Watts, nor any
other Watts, dead, living, unborn,
native, foreign, civilized, or un
civilized, savage or barbarious,
male or female, white or black,
franehised or disfranchised, natur
alized or otherwise. No, there is
positively nothing for any of the
Wattses, either individually, sever
ally, jointly, now and forever, one
and inseparable.
The boy looked at the postmas
ter in astonishment, and said :
“Please look if there is anythin
for .Jhon Thomas Watts.’—Mex
