Beware of all doctrines and deeds
that tend to lead away from a holy
and useful life.
There is time enough for every
thing in the course of the day, if
you do but one thing at once.
Any one who desires to serve
God need not boa day without
work and plenty of it to do.
Personalties are cheap; they are
the poverty of our intellectual re
sources, and they rarely end in
honor or charity.
Solomon took an inventory ot
the world, and all the best things
in it—he cast up the account and
the sum total was vanity.
Men who cover themselves with
glory on the field of human slaugh
ter will find themselves thinly clad
in the judgment day.
There is no readier way for a
man to bring his own worth into
question than by endeavoring to
detract from Ihe worth of other
men.
Sins of commission are the usu
al punishment for the sins ofomis
aion. lie that leaves a duty may
well fear that he will be left to
commit a crime.
Cautiously avoid talking of the
domestic affairs either of yourselv
es or of other people. ours are
nothing to them but tedious gossip;
theirs are nothing to you.
God is pleased sometimes to
make choice of those of his mans
gers, who have least of the advant
ages of art or nature, that Ilis
grace in them may appear the
more glorious.
If not tuned in time, we must be
what we once chose to be. And
if we do not desire to be forever
what we are to-day, let us see to it
that we be to day what we wish to
be forever.
Sin has the awful power of self
propagation. It grows stronger
with every indulgence And the
awful possibility is this—the final
victory incur beans ot sin which
become our master and tyrant.
M;jrk Twain's Courtship.
Mark Twain, if he is in the mood
will tell the story of his own court
ship in a mannner worthy of the
greatest of living humorists, When
he fir.t me - he lady who after
ward In cam,' his wife, he was net
so distinguished as now; his origin
was humble, and for some years of
his life had been a pilot on the
Mississippi Liver, The future Mrs.
Clemens was a woman of position
and fortune; her father was ajudge
and doubtless expiectd family so
cial importance in his son-in-law.
Clemens, However, became inter
ested in his daughter, and after
a while proposed, but was rejected.
“Well,’'he said to the lady, “I
did’nt much believe you'd have me
but I thought I’d try.”
Afterawhile he tried again with
the same result, and then remark
ed with hia celebrated drawl, “I
think a great deal more of you thau
if you’d said yes, but it’s hard to
bear,”
A third time he mat with bettor
fortune, and then came to the most
difficult part of his task to address
the old gentleman.
“Judge, I’he 1 ’he said to the digni
fied millionaire, “have you 6een
anything going on between Miss
Lizzie and me?”
“What, what?” exclaimed the
judge, rather sharply, apparently
not understanding the situation,
yet doubtless getting a glimpse of
it from the inquiry,
“Have you seen anything going
en between Miss Lizzie and me?”
“No, indeed!” replied the judge.
“Well, look sharp and you will,”
said Mark. This is the way he
got the judge’s daughter.
(jet Acquainted,
Get away from the crowd a little
while everyday, my dear boy or
girl. Stand before the glass and
see yourself as the world sees you;
get acquainted with yourself; ask
yourself if you are really the kind
of person people think you are;
find out if you are honest in your
conversations and duties to your
triends? Always tell the square
perfect truth in business transac
tions. See if your life is as good
and upright at night as it is in the
morning; if you are as good a per
son on a fishing excursion as you
are when you are at home? Get on
intimate terms with yourself, and
believe it, every time you come out
trom these private interviews you
will be stronger, purer and better
in every respect
