In his hands will be great steaming pots: in his pocket chocolate and ciga rettes. From one man to another he will go, passing a cup full of hot coffee to hands that tremble with the cold; bringing the ronton 01 a bit of tweet and a smoke.

The sun has sei behind (he misi crowned hill, The world has sunk 10 rest; ihe winds are still. And now we iwo, beiween the sold and gray, Sel out to Hnd our magic Yesterday. Only a little night-bieeze brings a faint, Sweet breaih of nursling blossoms, and ihe plaint Of some small drowsy bird. We floui away Among ihe mirrowed shallows, where the play Of noiseless ripples, following in our wake, Spreads slow upon die silver-surfaced lake, The slender sickle ot ih; moon hancs high, A fairy promise in the purple sky. Dim, lily-padded pools ihal lie before. And coves that curve ihe shadow-shrouded shore Allure. The rushes nod along ihe banks Slim-shafied sentinels in rustling ranks Your breath, a litile quickened, fans my cheek; , Your hand is warm in mine. You do not speak U'e only drift, we tu n, i i our frail bark, Drift silently, between lie gray and dark. There may be ugly rocks aiming the sedge, Or jagged thorns ihal thrust along the edge Of placid pools, where ihal soft, fragrant breeze Kisses the water, thrills the drooping trees. There may be unknown dangers everywhere About us; yet we neither know nor care We only want 10 find along our way New traces ot love's magic Yesterday. Lillian Bennet Thompson. A CLEAR FUTURE.

Few men who had as bad a record as John Brand for dissipation and general wonhlessness ever made a more compleie recovery to self-respecting manhood and honest, sober living. AFier the awaken ing came. Brand resolutely deiermined to reform, but failed again and again. Happily for him, he was able to fall back upon the teachings and traditions of a Christian home, and he took the bold step of public ly professing Christ and asking God's help in his struggle. Brand always regarded thai as the critical turning point in the up ward winding path, but even then he did not win the victory. One ex pedient that he found especially useful was what he called "keeping a clear future" not allowing yesterday's failures to intrude dishearten ingly into the manly strivings of to-duy. "When 1 was a youngster in school," Brand used to say, "a single, unsightly blotted line in my copy book spoiled the ft'hole psgc for nie. No matter how well I might write the other lines, that bad one would make the page look mean, and at first I just scribbled off what was left as fast as I could. Then I took another way. I cut out the offending page with my pockeiknife. It was hard on ihe copy book but it was good for my hand writing. I didn't have ihal ugly line siaring me in Ihe face, and I became more careful of making another like it. "A man can't get rid of his failures as easily as that, but he can put them behind him with a firm hand, and make every new stand for it self. That was what I tried to do. When I got up in the morning I just thought of the day before me as a clean, white page in my copy book, which I could leave as neat and as trim as if I had never scrawl ed a thousand blurred and blotted ones. Those others were past help now, but this one was mine, and I deiermined to put my best Into it." John Brand does not stand alone as a witness to the practical value of keeping the present and future detached from the failures and sins ind shortcomings of the past, Failure is always disheartening; if we brood morbidly over it, we find it fatally easy to fall into the unfounded belief thai nothing l. ior may be hoped for, do what we may. Si. Paul found that "forgetting those things which are behind" left the future clear for achievement, and was on the whole a safer, and a wiser course than to remember them either with regret or with complacen cy. Easy content with mediocrity bars the way to high emprise almost as effectively as the incubus of repeated failure, BlBck River Falls, Wi.-"Aa Lydia .
