How To Take Life Take it just as thoujgh it were as an earnest, vital and Important affair. Take it as though you were born to the task of performing a mer ry part in it as though the world had waited your coming. Take it as though it were a grand opportunity to do and achieve, to carry forward groat and good chancos to help ana chcor a suffering, weary. It may bo heart broken, brother. Now and then a man stands aside from the crowd, labors, earnestly, steadfastly, confi dently, and straightway becomes fa mous for wisdom. Intellect, Gkill, i^reatnesp of some sort. The world vonders admires, idolizes; and it only Illustrates what others may do if they take hold of life with a purpose. Tile miracle, of the power that el evates, Is to bo found in their indus try, application, and perservance un- nuder the promotings of a brave, do- ti'rmined spirit.—Mark Twain.
