A BOY WHO KNEW.
I "Can There Any Good Thing Come
I Out of Nazareth ?''
An American boy, nineteen years
of age, once Found himself in Lon
don, where he was under the tie
cessiiy of earning Ins bread. He
was not like many oilier young
men in these days, who are "will
ing to do anything" because they
know how to do nothing; but he
had learned how to do something,
and knew just where to go to find
something to do; so he went
straight to a printing office and in
quired if help w as needed.
"Where are you from?" inquir
ed the foreman.
"America," was the answer.
"Ah," said the foreman, "from
' America, seeking employment as
a printer. Well, do you really
! understand the art of printing?
i Can you set type?"
i The young man stepped to one
! of the cases and in a brief space
! set up this passage from the first
I chapter of John:
j "Nathaniel said unto him, Can
j there any good thing come out of
! Naareth ? Philip said, Come and
sec."
I It was done so quickly, so ae-
curately, and administered a deli
j cute reproof so powerful, that it at
once gave him influence and stand
i ing with all the olfice. He wot k-
I ed diligently at his trade, refused
I to drink beer or any kind of strong
, drink, saved his money, returned
to America, became a printer, pub
lisher, author, posttnasier-general,
member of Congress, signer of the
Declaration of Independence, Am
bassador to Royal courts and tinal-
i ly died in Philadelphia at the age
! of eighty-four. There are more
j than one hundred and fifty coun
I ties, towns and villages in America
named after this same printer boy,

if i could know.
If I could know the agony of pain
In which my brother wrought, yet gave no sign,
His bungling work would take on graceful shape,
And glory would illumine every line.
If I could know the heartache bravely hid
Beneath the smile of courage, day by day,
I'd not withhold the kindly deed and thought
To cheer my friend upon his lonely way.
If I could know the struggle to do right
Of that poor fallen one so sore beset,
No "shame," but "bravo," would I cry to him:
"Thou tightest foes whom I never met."
If I could know the longing, pressing close
Beneath derision's sneer at holy things,
A friendly hand I'd stretch across the gulf
SUCCESS.
Move l-'orward, Clear the Track
and the Grandest Opportunities
ot Life Will Open Up.
There is but one way out of pov-
! erty for the generality of mankind,
I and that is downright hard work,
economy and sell-denial. Young j
man, draw your coat, roll up your
sleeves and wade in. 1 Ins ever
lastingly wailing for something to
turn up wailing to step into dead
men's shoes, will terminate your;
career as a groveling dependent,!
subsisting and only existing and
filling space without a real or sin
gle purpose in life. Wake up!
Stir around and send the life
coursing through your veins.
Hold up your head, clean your
face, put on a smile, and cast that
woe-begone look in the rubbish
by the wayside, where it belongs.
Move forward, clear the track, and
the grandest opportuniiies of life
will open up, which you want to
seize with a tenacious grip, and
they will unfold to you all the
hidden treasures you ever imag
ined or conceived. Young man,
this is no imaginative drawing, a
delusive sketch, a fantasy, and if
you posses enough grip and stamina
you can make it a picture true to
life; thousands have done it, and
you have an , equal footing today.
Few rich men owe their posses
sions to accident; few great men
owe their distinction to luck and
chance. Thus far a greater number
have won by perseverjnee, push,
and pluck, diligent in business,
spending less than their earnings,
surmounting obstacles, over-coming
difficulties with a will invincible.

MY SWEETHEART'S EYES.
My sweetheart's eyes are dark and blue,
Like violets drenched in morning dew;
So clear, so blue!
That 1 can see my paradise,
Keflecied in those magic eyes;
I'topia in their calm depths lies.
For me to woo.
My sweetheart's eyes are wells of truth
And purity; they tell of youth
Pure, undefiled.
They breathe of isles in silver seas,
Of Araby's sweet-scented breeze;
They bring mi thoughts of home and peace,
My soul beguiled.
They bid me hope when I would fain
Despair, again and yet again,
To win her hand;
They beam me softest lullabies
In mists of song from April skies;
They flood my soul in sweet surprise
With music grand !
My sweetheart's eyes ! Ah, well 1 know
Why One above me made them so
So pure, so blue !
Tw as but to keep me tho' I roam
Oft in my wandering far from home,
Faithful, in all the years to come:
Faithful and true.

He is upright, honest, generous,
the heartiest supporter of the

a veritable saint but he does not
believe in some of the generally

Mr. I'eecher was equal to the

"I never dare say where any
man will go after death, but when
ever this man goes he certainly
has my best wishes."

They Will Not Go Where Others
Have Not Been.
There are three kinds of work
ers, and only three, in this world.
They are the pullers down, the
builders - up and the imitators.
The first are the most successful,
the second are the most self-sacrificing,
but the last are the most
numerous. They make no beaten
tracks, for they take their feet up
and put iliem carefully down, in
the exact steps of their predeces
sors. They will not go where
others have not been. The ghosts
of the dead and the specters of
greatness are always before them.
Authority is a god whom they wor
ship without devout superstition.
They say their prayers with awe
stricken regularity before theshrine
of antiquated error and time-honored
falsehoods. The king of
men and gods. "He said so." It
would kill them like a dose of ar
senic to take a little originality. In
their logic, it must be right," lol-
! lows from the promise. "It has
; lone been believed." History is
argument, fashion authority, and
the grand work of life is to please
j the world, in walk and carriage,
. dress and table, in reading and
praying, and at last in dying and
; being buried, they seriously follow
what others have done. They are
happy in service and joyful in
i slavery. It is a melancholy fact
that most teachers are imitators.
I They come in (locks from normal
schools, in great number from in
1 stiiuies and in thousands from our
educational meetings. They are
anxious enquirers after others' do
ings, and willingly follow any edu
