Wl OROW OLD BICAOSI W DO MOT KNOW BNOUQII TO KIIP YOUNO Unlet memories of linfal Hie which has gono all wrong make premature lur rowa in the faee, take the brightoo-is from the eyes; the elasticity from the step, and makes one') life aplei and uninteresting. W grow old because we do not know enough to keep young, just as we be come tick and diseased because we do not know enough to keep well. Siok di ss is a result of ignorance and wrong thinking. The time will come when a man will no more harbor thoughts that will mako him siok or weak than he wou'd think of putting his bands into firo. No man oun be eiek if he always has right thoughts and takes otdinary oare of his body. If be will think only youthful thoughts he ran maintain his youth far beyond the usual period. If you would be "young when old, adopt the aun dial's motto "I record Done but hours of sunshine." Never mind the dark or shadowed hours Forget the unpleasant, unhappy houra. Remember only the days of rioh experi ences; let the others drop ioto oblivion It is said that "Long livers are great hopere." If you keep your hope bright in spite of discouragements and meet all difficulties with a obecrlnl faee, it will be very difficult lor age to trace its fuirowa on your brow.

My heart is faint, O Lord I I am so weary ; The heat and burden of life's day is great. The path I take is often long and dreary, And I am weak but Thou dost bid me wait, Unto my open easement I oome creeping, In agony to pray the whole night through ; When other eyes, live Thine and mine, are sleeping, And stars keep vigil in that arch of blue. Thoo as the dawn, with trembling, rosy Sogers, Draws back the curtains of the darksome night, The radiance of Tby prosence round me lingers Content am I to do what seemetti right. Take courage; we shatl find in all our living, However hard and unjust seems our fate, Strength for life's conflicts daily He is giviog. Learn, then, to murmur not, but trust and wait.

One day several years ago a Yankee told a farmer that be was never tired. "Well, mv man." said the farmer. "I think you will juat suit me. I don't like men who are always getting tired." Then he set the Yankee hociog weeds in a field. After a while the farmer earae along to see how he was getting They say, dear father, that to-night, you'll wed anoiher bride, That you will elasp her in your arms where my dear mother died. That she will lean her graceful head upin your loving breast, Where she who now lies low in death, in her last hours did rest. Tbey say her name is Mary, too, the name my mother bore. But father, ia she good and true, like the one you loved before? And are her steps so soft and low, her voice so meek and mild ? And father, will she love me, too, your blind and helpless child ? Please, father, do not bid me oome, to greet your new-made bride, I oould not greet her in the room where my dear mother died. Her piutare's hanging on the wall, her books are lying near, And there's the barp her fingers touched, and there's her vacant chair. The chair whereby I used to kneel, to say my evening prayer Dear father, it would break my heart, I could not greet her there, And as I ory myself to sleep, as now I often do, Then softly to my chamber creep, my new mamma and you ; Then bid her gently press a kin upon my throbbing brow, Just as my dear mamma did; papa, you're woepiog now. I know I love you, papa dear, but how I long to go, Where God is light, and I am sure there'll be no blind ones there. Now let me kneel downbyyour side and to our dear Saviour pray, That God's light hand may lead you both up life's long, weary way." The prayer wa9 offered, and a song. "I'm weary now," ehe said. Her father raised her in his arms and laid her on the bed, And as he turned to leave the room, one joyful cry was given. He turned and caught the last, sweet smile his blind cbilj was in heaven. Tbey buried ber by her mother's side, and raised a marble fair, On it inscribed these simple words, "There'll Be No Blind Ooe's there." WAS A VERY SICK BOY.

After show ing her some other goods, the assistant brought baok tbe same material, this time asking a higher price, wheieupon the customer bought it.

Wouldn't this jolt the loving little birds off the houghs? A few days ago a young Jefferson City dude, accom panied by his sister, visited a Btore to purchase a gift for his sweetheart as a birthday present. Thinking a book or a box of bon boos too common, be do cided to give her a pair of gloves, and made his purchase accordingly, while his sister bought a pair of fancy stockings for herself. Both gloves and stockings were wrapped in similar packages, In some way the bundles became mixed, and the young man, not knowing the mistake, sent his sweetheart the stockings accom panied by the following note : Dearest : 1 hope you will enjoy this little present, instead of something foolish. Ob, how I wish no other bands than mine would ever touch them after you put them on, but I know, dear, that such a wish is vain. A score of fellows may touch them when I am not by yonr side, and other eyes than mine may see them on the street and at parties. 1 bought the longest pair I could get, and if they are too long you can let them wrinkle down. A great many of the girls wear them slipped down a little. Alwsys wear tbcm at parties. I want to see bow they fit. Somo fellows have dirty hands, and they are likely to soil them, but you can clean them, dear, with benrnc, if you leave them on till dry. I hope they are not too small.

DltlNU YOUR WllOI.lt HEI.r TO IT WITH AU, YOUR rOWBIlS INTACTa It makes all the difference in the world in results whether you come to your work every day with all your powers intact, with all your faculties up to the standard; whether you come with the entire man, so that you can fling your whole life into your task, or with only a part of yourself; whether you do your work as a giant or as a pygmy, Most people bring only a small part of themselves to thiir tasks. They cripple much of their ability by irregular living, bad babits in eating and injurious food, lack of sleep, dissipation or some other folly. They do not oome to their taskB every morning whole men. A part of themselves and often a large part is somewhere else. They left their energy where they were trying to have a good time, so that they bring weakness instead of power, indifference and dullness in stead of enthusiasm and alertness, to the performance of the most important duties of thiir lives. The man who comes to his work in the morning uorofreshed, languid and listless cannot do a good, honest day's work, end if he drags rotten days into the year how can he expect a Bound career or a successlul achieve-mem? Good work is not entirely a question of will power. Often this is impaired by a low physical standard. The qual ity of the work cannot be up to high water mark when every faoulty, every function and every bit of your ability is affected by your physical and menta condition. You may be sure that your weakness, whatover its cause, will appear in your day's work, whether it is making books or selling them, teaching school or studying, singing or painting, chiscliDg etatucs or digging trenches.
