To take the fuel of lust into the hearts is to invite its fires to consume the life. The star of faith will shine long after the comet of fame his disappeared. Happiness depends r.ot on the things the heart has but on the heart that has the things. The first thing seme people do when troubles fly into their lives is to clip their wings. Almost every fool thinks that he is bright enough to throw dust in the eyes of the Divine. Talk about “looking for opportuni¬ ties of doing good!” We may as well talk about looking for fire-wood in a forest or for water during a flood. The world is full of such opportunities. Old truths are too great a price to pay for new doubts. The temperature of the heart cannot, be gauged by the head. Selfishness is the cause of sin and sacrificing service its cure. Some people make a great show of fleeing from the roaring lion that men may not see the secret serpents they carry in their pockets. The First Picture Pest Card. .The French papers have been In VC stigating^the jbistjbry of cnfcvfs;'’ It appears^ 7 Ws^rtireughr the fashion is a new one, it was anticipate ed move than thirty years ago. The Inventor was a certain M. Leon Bes nardeau, then, as now, a bookseller and stationer in the Department of the Sarthe. Finding a camp of 40,000 men pitched in his neighborhood in the early days of the war of 1870, it occurred to him to help the soldiers to simplify their correspondence by suppressing the envelopes. Hence tha post-cards, which he embellished with simple engravings representing can¬ non, shells and other military actuali. ties, The success of the first series was so great that a second was quick¬ ly called for. The camp broke up, how¬ ever, and the post-cards were forgot¬ ten, to be reinvented, as we see, a great many years afterward.
