The child is urged "to net on," to "rise

one of the great lessons to teach, in this
century of sharp competition and the
survival of the fittest, is how to be rich
without money, and to learn how to do
without what is popularly and falsely
called success.
"I believe," says Julia Wird Howe,"that
many of our youth are learning that a
worthy life is the best success, whether it
is attended by wealth or poverty, or by
that most preferable condition of all,
modest competency. Pure, upright liv

looks up from whence the showers have

kindly ministry to aid in the battle for
existence. It fought alone, and won in

rose is past, so that in the garden's cor

and each is vying with the other for the
first taste of the liquid sweets. God has
watched it, and for its patient strugg'e in
adherence to the true life, has rewarded
it with beauty and treacle in abundance.
It was He who drove the bees hither

Women who are anxious to improve
themselves, says a writer in an exchange,
ill find it a good pluu to always have a
book within reach to catch up at odd
moments bet weeu tasks. We should re

day, if is but a single sentence. II' we
can give but fifteen minutes a day it will
be felt at the end of the year. Thoughts
take up no room, although they fill ooe's
hours very acceptably when of a pleasant
or instructive nature, and one may travel
or labor with them without any trouble
or incumbrance. It has been my good
lortune to know several women with ap

Upon Beats placed in different locali
ties, in the city of 1'asadena, Cal., the
abjve words are engraved. The Btory
connected with the inscription is full of
pathos. Richard M. Stafford, a young
man of lovely character, came hither io
the hope that here he might find renewed
health. This hope, however, was not to
be rcalixed. Month by month his strength
grew les ; but still he loved to walk abroad
in the sweet air, to enj y the fair scenes
around him, aod often he had need to
pause fur rest. A friendly bench in
front of a store was the only provision he
found for out-of-door "rest for the wea
ry;" and so, before ho passed away, hi
framed a bequest, providing seals to be
placed at different points throughout the
oity, that upon them the weary might
rest.
It was a beautiful thought, and should
keep his memory grcon in many heartr.
The first one of these seals I noticed
commanded a fine view of the ''Motlur
Mountains," and as I thought of ti e

that He had giveo to His servaut so
sweet a thought for others a thought
taking shape out of his own weakness
and need.

at these halting places pause for rest and
