At a recent talk given by F.llart j Hubbard at Noycrofi, Must Aurora, N. Y., he said anions other things: Cod has plenty of lime; we are bathed in un ocean of intelligence; , never a soul is lost; things change i but never the essence. This one thin jj moving toward perfection, ti being that reflects itself, is for the race; (iod is not caring for us in dividually, but for the w hole. God . keeps us here just as long as we reflect good cheer, health and hap-1 i piness. He who quits work is put back in the melting pot. You stay ' here just as long as you're useful. Conscious spirit-God is perfection. We reach these things not through fear, not through anxiety; no fear effects first the action of elimina tion, the skin refuses to get rid of poison. Fear paralyzes the ex tremities, fear is man's worst ene my, there is no devil but fear. ; Think well of everybody and you I are full of energy full of the Di- j vine. We never see the light if we're scared, if we're frightened. The path has been through the gloom of the ten thousand years back. The supreme achievement is that out of wrong, good may come. The sun is just rising in the Fast. Look toward the sun rise. AN ACCOMMODATING CLERK. She sailed into the telegraph of fice and rapped on the counter. . The clerk remembered that she j had been there about ten minutes ! before as he came forward to meet ; her. He wondered what she wanted this time. "Oh," she said, "let me have that telegram I wrote iust now; 1 1 forgot something very important. 1 I wanted to underscore 'perfectly lovely' in acknowledging the re ceipt of that bracelet. Will it cost anything extra?" "No, ma'am," said the clerk, as he handed her the message. The young lady drew two heavy lines beneath the words and said : "It's awfully good of you to let me do that. It will please Charley so much." "Don't mention it," said the clerk. "If you would like it, I will put a few drops of violet ex tract on the telegram at the same rates." "Oh, thank you, sir. You don't know how much I would appre ciate it. I'm going to send all my telegrams through this office, you are so obliging." And the smile she gave him 1 would have done any one good, j with the possible exception of1 Charley IT MADE A DIFFERENCE. "1 want to place a column ad. in your paper," he said to the editor, "calling attention to my special brand of 'Old Raven' whisky." "All right, sir," responded the editor, briskly.

You think a frolic is a crime; For other people's sakes, I pray, Don't wear your rullles all the time.

Just take abit of advice I Don't wear your ruffies all the time. Your train is never fast enough, You paper is not fit to read. Your tailor cuts your garments wrong. The drama, too, has gone to seed: The waiter does not know his place, The dinner is not worth a dime 'Tis thus you're always finding fault. Don't wear your ruffles all the iinie. For when you climb the starry stairs That lead above this earthly sphere, An angel at the door will say, "You cannot wear your ruflles here " So if you ever wish to see The mansions of the blest sublime.

Aye, Love, the throb of the vio- lin I hear to-night, tliat plaintive i throb of a violin, that, somehow, j finds an echo in the forgotten in . tions will strike the earth and set the quiverings that have so long, it on fire. Rivers of molten met- sung this love to you ! 'als will float down the mountains This world is so dreamily beau teous, with all its meltdies of for gotten memories. And that yearn ing voice of the violin over the wav, now it noous my soui, near, with all the longings that love has given me ! It seems that I am on some high cliff, with a wide-reach ing sea before me: a sea that widens away to the unspeakable isles of all that is lingering dreamy. And golden sunlight streams above me, and glows in a mellowness on the trees behind me. Oh, Love, dear Love, I am so glad that the world is filled with the fullness of the music of this love! For, 1 love you dear, so much! SPARKLINU WAVELETS. Young girls arc indeed such ra diant and sparkling wavelets in the current of humanity, and in the brilliant rinplings of their joyous tides of feelings old people are made young again, the burdens ot years grow lighter, the skies catch rays of richer brightness, and all cares and troubles and annoyances and gloomy thoughts and despond- ent feelings are blissfully buried in the ecstatic deeps of sweetest ob- livion.
