IN TIU SO' L Alt WI HAT SEE IT IK
THE SEED.
There ia life io the dry grain of corn
as certainly as io the growing stalk. Hut
In the former we see no life, not even the
evidenoa of it, We nay put it under
the microscope, but we discover no life.
We msj shave it down, Like by lake,
but we cannot seo It pur tell where il has
gone but the life ia there nolwiih
a'andiog cur failure. Only by adversity
oan It be made to reveal Itself; and its
highest manifestation tsn eume only
through dralh and dissolution. Ileal
and moisture will call forth the latent
life, but not until that ollow tabernacle
is placed in the earth dues the matured
po-sibilit j of the seed Olenites! itself.
Have Wii not heic a yarablt ?
Man has a soul, but who has seen it, or
felt it, or touched it? Can we, by any
koon process, lay that soul bare that
we may look upon it with tur mortal
eyes? Will our most powerlul micro
scopes msgnify it? Will our X-ray dis
pose it 7 You may take this body down,
part by part. You may discover every
member from its fellow, You may un
covor every ligament and nerve and
artery. Can the scalpel uncover the
soul? Has the operator ever seen it as
he laid open the body? Has the young
physician in the dissecting rooms over
found il? But the soul is in the body
as truly as life is io the grain of com.
Both are invisible by any known device
of man.
We may see the ev idencc of growth in
the soul as we may see it in the seed
In both cases the life is revealed mainly
by sacrifice and surrender. In both the
fullcat glory cornea after death, and
neither the seed on the one hand nor the
body on the other ever beholds the high'
est development of its own inherent life,
That lies betond the dissolution. And
will Dot our postmortem life be as much
greator and grander than thie life as the
maturing stalk with its green leaves, Its
pick plumes on the end of the ripening
cars, and its bending tassels, is greater
and grsndcr than the little yellow ores
cent of corn which was dropped into the
earth?

CHEER YOUR FELLOW-MAN.
BY JAMKS WHITCOMB RILEY.
If you should ace a felluw-mao ith trouble's flag unfurled,
An' lookin' like he didn't have a friend in all the world ;
Go up and slap him on the back, an' bjller, "How d'you do?"
An' grasp his hand so warm he'll know he has a friend in you ;
Then ax him what's a hurtiug him, an' laugh his cares away,
An' tell bim that tie darkest night is just before the day ;
Don't talk graveyard palaver, but say it right out loud
That God will sprinkle sunshine in the trail of every cloud.
This world at best is but a hash of pleasure and of pain ;
Some days are bright and sonny, and some all sloshed with pain ;
And that's just how it ought to be, for when the clouds roll by,
We'll know just how to 'predate the bright and smiling sky,
So learn to take it as it comes, and don't sweat at the pores
Because the Lord's opinion don't coincide with yours ;
But always keep rememberin' when cares your path enshroud,
That God has lots of sunshine to tpill behind the cloud.
HOW CAN YOU KNOW?
BY FRANK L. STANTON.
How can you knew wbat's a-comin' along?
Sigh you are sighin' may end io a song :
The world will roll right, though the world msy roll wroog
Look to the bright side lorever 1
How oan you koow but a sweet star will rise
Io the storm that seems bk.win' 'em all from the skies?
A sweet rose is born for each dear rose that dies
Look to the bright side forever I
How can jou know? Daisies deep under snow
Have dreams of the time when the south-wind shall blow I
They koow the Spring's comin' for God wills it so :
Look to the bright side forever I
How can you know? Let us trust to the years
To lighten the burden of crosses an' csres ;
Ao' even in the desolate rain of our tears
Look to the bright side forever I
HOW DID YOU DIE?
Did you tackle that trouble that came yonr way
With a resolute heart and cheerful,
Or bide your face from the light of day
With a craven soul and fearful ?
Oh, a trouble is a ton, or a trouble is an ouoce,
And it isn't the fsct thst you're hurt that counts,
But only how did you take it?
You are beaten to earth ? Well, well, what's that ?
Come up with a smiling face.
It's nothing sgainst you to fall down flat,
But to lie there that's disgrace.
The harder you're throwo, why, the higher you bounce j
Be proud of your blackened eye I
It isn't the fact that you're licked that counts ;
It's how did you fight and why?
And though you be d me to the death, what then?
If you battled the best you ou!d,
if you played your pait io the world of men,
Why The Critic will call it good.
Death oomes with a crawl, or comes with a pounce,
And whether he's slow, or spry,
it uo't the fact that you're dead that oouots,
But only how did you die ?

Then she wrinkled her brow in

"Why wouldn't it do to pray for our
