What ia il we all have in common no matter what our environment? Life, that glorious opportunity to be, to di and to grow, is oura. Life, with all lu possibilities, the greatness of which we have not dreamed, is sotually alipping bj without our oogoisanoc, became we ere so ocouppied with tbe thinga which we think make us unhappy, end which bavegrowoto tremendous proportions, magnified by our Tiaiou. What matter it if others sre rioh famoue, so long as we hate the one groat obance io life which overshadows all thea things, and is the only thing which will atand the test of time? In t few years death will claim tin rich and they must depart, leaving that fur which they have labored all behind But the oharacter goes on forever. Happiness being a o-.ndition of the mind, yours is the power to place hap piness there by oreating this condition. which you can do solely by your thoughts. j nougnts which cause unrest or worry, you must csst out. This is not easy for those who bsve been aocustomed to allow themselves to be constantly annoyed by these things. Remember, first, to plsce chsracter above all else, for there is nothing to be compared with it And determine that, no matter what else you lave in life, this you will acquire. This determination will alter your frame of mind, and, when Gfmly fixed, will ohange the appearance of conditions and surroundings. All thoughts which are not character builders you must bsnish, and you must view everything in this light. This cannot be done at once, and is only achieved after many trials. Always see what you hive to be thankful for when depressed or unhappy. This) mental inventory will make lighter any load. Don't worry about anything, for it does no good, and only lessens your opportunity for helping yourself. If you are character building there is nothing that can come to you which oannot be used as a step onward, if look ed at in the right light, and anything which will place you a step forward on- not bnog barm. Always look on the bright tide of everything for there is always bright side to evety'bing if we will but see it. ( ast out all thoughts or anger or rage, and never allow yourself to lose your temper. School yourself in conquering fear of all descriptions, lo bim who builds oharacter thire is nothing to fesr. And just in proportion as you obtain this mental balance you will find happiness everywhere, and life will become a glori- ous thing, Instesd of a drudgery. New lorn Weekly. LOVE DIES.

"0 Thou who driest the mourner's tear, How dark this world would be If, when dcoeived and wounded here, We could not fly to thee. "0 Thou who driest tbe mourner' s tear" And soothest pain and grief, Deign now an humble suppliant's prayer to bear, And vouohsafe him relief. He pleads no merit of his own, Has none to plesd, 0 Lord, His only pies he has but one, Is in Thy sacred Word. This world is full of pits and snares And into these we fall, 0, let it be one of Thy cares To ssve us from them all. Tbe friends we have, or think we have, However staunch and true, When oalled npon to shield or stie, Alas I can nothing do. Tis said that life bowe'er it seem, Is not to all the same ; And some declare it but a dream, And friendship but a name. Ah I while this mav not be the truth. The idea may mislead, Some hopeful and aapiring youth The truth to find and heed. A HEART'S Good night, my little lady, the stars sre shining through, The downy clouds of heaven like your eyes, As l hey peep from out the cover, Folding you so snugly over, So slumber, ere the Moon-Man, lights the skies, Sleep I Sleep I The funny shadowa creep, To where the rose's petals drift, for Fairy hsnds to reap. Sleep I To shady bower, the Dove has ssfely fled, To warn my little Lady to the shelter of her bed. Good night my little Lsdy, the moon is riding high, And light and gentle lephyrs' are awing I Elfio fingers, quick and willing, Lily cups with dew are filling. So close your eyelids whilst I sing. Sleep I Sleep I The dusky shadows creep, To where t silver river rolls io moon waves, wide and deep, Sleep, for softly falling, a misty ee l, and light, Will wrap you in, and fold you io, throughout the purple night. Good night my little Lady, tbe yellow sun will soon Be rounding like a flower oo the blue Of the sky, so whilst I'm keeping, Welch beside you through your sleeping, Tbe loving Heart of God willcsre for you Sleep I Sleep I Strange phantom shadows oreep, To where the frsgrant flowers lift their facea white, and weep. Sleep I Be sweet your dresmiog with n:ver life's alarm, An sngel host will ever keep my Lady-love from barm. Good night, my little Lady, the moon-boat sails away. The happy, laughing stars fade off the sky. Rogoich'y, the stars are glancing, At tbe merry world a-daneiug, And, I, alone of all God's creatures, wake to sigh, Sleep I Sleep I With swift sod noi eless feet, Death oame and softly whispered on your ear t message sweet, Sleep I Though heavens morning, bresks with nnltlliog light, 1 bold you in, and fold you in, a heart's eternal nigh'.

Thi Kind Von Havw Always fajia sf God often lays "Walt," bat Ht never stTs'Wonj." or MIND. 1 he Utile bride whe started to the alter wearing hi r "gumshoes;' over her satin slippers was an awful eximple of the absent-minded woman who is with us today in a moat fimror.ti.il f,m 8ha turns on tbe wstet when she meint lo light the gas; locks the ssfe. but fnruet, to put her jewels in It ; leaves ber umbrella at the shop oouoter sod sets the wbol department store on edge lookioe for I, ders Ihree yards of ribbon cut off and thei ten discovers that the onlv wanted three. Urters ot s yard, and ot b ruise turns the world top;-turvy. Wow, there is some excuse for s man tho is absent-minded. Men sre aun. posed to be so busy thinking about the ig tliioB of this life that thev have no time to bother with the little ones. Th noble oreature who is makiog a million wall street oannot be exoeoted to teruemoerto bnog home a sdoo! ol thread and a piece of blotting paper. As yet ne may bave gotten oolv as fr as a twenty-dollar salary, but that million is stretdy buumg in bis brain, to the ex tosion ot small gnats. Besides, it is a woman t duty only to think of the little thioge; and there isn't a mort-1 woman living who would not give two fingers to se able to remember and attend to each detail io the right way and at the right moment, it saves so muoh time and eDerg7i "d mental worry to keep one's wits about one. Yet with all the iokes which bave been written upon tbe absent-minded ones, there hss never been single cure offered or suggested. Absent mindedness is a habit. We have gotten in the way of living ahead of ourselves. We try to think ahead of what we are doing, and therebv become jumped. We read the evening papers in the morning, buy our summer clothes in January and have our fur coats made over in July. The woman who lives and thinks ahead of herself doesn't gain time: she ooly loses equilibrium. While she is makiog the coffee for breakfast she Is plaoniog a new hat; while she is buying tbe bat she is thinking of the frock she will get to match it; while the frock is being fitted, she is deciding to give s tes where she may wear it. She never thinks of the thing she is doing at the moment when she is doioe it. And vet that is the secret for the rare of absent- mindedness, blues snd every kind of nervousness. It sounds wonderfully easy, but it is not. Try it for a whole day. Keep your mind on what you are doing every single moment; even if it's enly thread ing a needle or anting still in s street oar. Don't dream, don't get ahead of yourself. Do everything that you under take to do as if that was the one and last thing you were going to sccomplish in tbis life. If you merely stoop over to piok up a scrap from the floor put your entire thought upon the act of the momeot aod see bow muoh more easily and quickly it ia accomplished. Concentration is tbe secret of pres- ense of mind The woman who has presence of mind is, of all her sex, most to be envied, for she gains thereby poise, force and reserve power, which the absent-minded woman never cao attain Bpicriii, Excursion to Cuba.
