I here is an old stoi"y of a fmher who tested Ins sons by giving them , a JjjjiiHlIc of slicks to break, liaeh tried his strengih upon it, but in ! vain At last, when all had failed the father ijtiinly untied the bun- j die and showed them how easy it i was to break all by taking them one j at a time. I oo many ol us say we cannot do a thing when what we should say is that we cannot tlo it all at once. No one can. It is step by step that things are accomplished. A young man is sometimes daunt ed by his vision of life. Hvery ihing worth while looks very diffi cult, almost impossible of achieve ment. But he can make a begin ning. Then the next step will be easier. No one is required to mas ter a business or profession in a night. No one achieves anything but by the patient work of day af ter day. We do not grow sudden ly to our full siature. When the word of the Lord first came to Jeremiah he said, "I know not how to speak; lor I am a ! child." But (iod rebuked him with the answer, "Say not I am a ! child; for to whomsoever I shall send thee thou shah go, and what . soever I shall command tlice thou ; shall speak. Be noi ah aid because I of ihcin; for I am with thee lo dc ; liver thee." i Slill, today, as in the time of Jeremiah, if anyone is hesitating l before a plain duty, saying in his , heart, "1 cannot," (iod is ready to answer, "Be not afraid, I am with thee." The impossible thing shall grow possible as we attempt i it, bit by bit. WALK LIKE A MAN. i S ou Are the Son of 11 King Willi j i Kovut lilond in Your Veins Vott have noted the manner of the ne'er-do-well who lounges about and shambles along with his ! hands in his pockets. When he walks he shuttles in a j listless sort of way, usually with his eyes on the ground, advet tis-; ing himself by his every motion as an idler and loaler. Do not fall into his habit. Hold yourself up. , Your manner of carriage, the . way you step oft', your motions : have much to do with what you try to do or be. No man can succeed in the guise of a weakling or a coward. Men quickly read men. A glance into your lace, a swift summing up of your manner and movements, enablis the trained observe,' to put uii li-iwn for what you aiv. The i ".in with the alert air, the upright self-respectful bearing, the ; brisk motion, gets his audience at , once. I le that shows a slovenly j gait, a laggard manner, a slouching j habit, will, as the Irish has it, lose his chance before he gets it. ! Stand up ! 'You are a man made in God's j image. You are the son of a king j with toval blood in your veins Show your prerogative. Ye ns do not mailer. Do not let : y.mi IV. line droop us grow old. ; Keep a straight spine.

"What a friend we have in Jesus," Sang a little child, one day, And a weary woman listened To the darling's happy lay. And her life seemed dark and gloomy, And her heart was sad with care; Sweetly sang out baby's uebble; "All our sins and griefs to beai." hc was pointing out the Savioui, Who could carry every woe, And the one w ho sadly listened, Needed that dear I lelper so ! Sin and grief were heavy burdens, Tor a fainting soul to bear, Bui ihe baby, singing, bade her "Take it lo the I old ut piaei ." With a simple, u listing spun, Weak and worn, she tut tied to God. Asking Christ to take her burden, As I le was the sinner's Lord. Jesus was the only refuge, I le could lake her sin and caie, And He blessed the weary woman, When she came in Him in prayer. And the happy child, siill singing, Little knew she had a part, In God's wondrous work of bringing, Peace into a troubled heart.

Confession, which ought to be tried before anything else to get out of a fix, always comes last. ml TRUE COURTESY. No One Mad Ever Asked His Par don Before. True courtesy is "the beauty of the heart." How well it is thai no class has a monopoly in this kind of beauty; that while favora ble circumstances undoubtedly do render good manners more com mon among persons moving in higher rather than in lower spheres there should nevertheless be no positive hindrance to the poorest classes having good manners. Here is an illustration of true po liteness exhibited by both classes of society. One day, in hastily turning the corners of a crooked street in the city, a young lady ran with great force against a ragged little beggar boy, and almost knock ed him down. Stopping as soon as she could, she turned around and said very kindly to the boy, "I beg your pardon, my little fel low. I am very sorrow that I ran against you." The poor boy was astonished. He looked at her for a moment in surprise, and then, taking off about three - quarters of a cap, he made a low bow and said, while a pleasant smile spread itself all over his face, 'You can h'ev my parding, miss, and welcome; and the next time you run agin me, you can knock me clean down and I won't say a word." After the lady had passed on he turned to his companion and said, "I say, Jim, it's the first lime 1 ever had any body ask my parding, and it kind o' took me off my feet." After all that has been said about rare treasures of art and nature that may lend attraction to a home and its surroundings, its remains that the fairest home ornaments are bright joyous faces, and where these are wanting, all else goes for little. THE CYNICAL PHILOSOPHER. A man may smile and smile m d be a villain or just a simple idiot. A woman stops telling her age as soon as age begins tellling on her. ' ' A woman in the case may be all right; it is when there are two that there is likely to be trouble. When a woman dresses to please the men, she doesn't have much success with the one who is paying for it. Smart Set. ENDLESS LIFE IN QOD. Happy are they who can see the eternal stars in the sunlight as well as in the darkness; to whom all that is fairest in this visible world is the revela tion of the glory of divine and eternal things; to whom the com mon gifts of God's providence are the symbols and sacraments of the belter gifts of his grace; to whom a life unvexed by care and illumi nated with gladness is the disci pline for an endless life in God. R. W. Dale, D. D. MODERN LIFE. Immorality stands already and sufficiently condemned, but a shal low life must also be contemptible. It is for this that the church must stand in modern life, if it would win not only those who are weak, but those who are morally strong. -Rev. C. J. Potter. TOMMY'S JOY. I like it when the evening Of darkness settles down; For then I know my daddy Is coming from the town. I meet him at ihe gateway (Unless it rams, you kiio), And hand in hand together Up to the house we go. There's mamma, always smiling And daddy, dear, and me, To sit around the open fire And chat till time for tea. Oh, we're ull so happy Vt'hen the darkness settles down For then we know dear daddy Is coming home from town. What Texan Admire isheaity, vigorous life, according to Hugh Tallinan, of San Antonio.

UNDERWOOD Not a Sectional but a National Figure We are In accord with the hearty Indorsement by the Atlanta Constitu tion published on this we of the candidacy of Hon. Oseur 1' mlerwuod for tho presidency. Karlier thiol the Constitution the Advertiser declared Mr. Underwood not only to 1 a suit able and able candidate for the pres idency, but au available candidate as well. But we do not agree with tne Constitution In demanding that Mr. Underwood present himself as the can didate of the south for the presidency. Not a 8ctlonal Figure. Mr. Underwoud on his acknowledged merits should go before the country as a national, not as a sectional, figure. He should be lu the Baltimore conven tion not only as an Alalminlun. not only as a representative of the vigor and the ability of the south, but as an American. He should not be nominat ed simply because he Is from Alabama and from the south, but because he Is an American who In the national halls of legislation showed himself a man of the highest character, of conspicu ous ability and of the broadest patri otism. He should not be nominated and elected because he Is from the south; he should not be defeated be cause he Is from the south. He should be nominated because he Is the one Democrat who brought his disorgan ized party In the house into a com pact, effective body, which wrought well for the benefit of the couutry, and because of the soundness, the energy mid the nrogresslveness of his leader ship, which won him the confidence of the country.

It does well to present Mr. Underwood as the personification of that Issue. The Dem ocratic party, not on account of Mr. Underwood's being from the south, not In spite of Mr. Underwood's being from the south, should put him on the plat form which he more than any other man has made for the party to make Us victorious fight on this year. It Is his right to claim that the tariff of tils making has won the favor and the confidence of the people, and it Is the right of his friends to claim that be should be chosen to defend that tariff and lo ask the indorsement of the American people on ids work. Of National 8ize. Hut when he is presented he should be preseuled as a candidate who is as much a national figure as the tariff is a national Issue. It Is not the proper way to rid our selves of the old, tiresome question of sectionalism by having the south make demands in the name of the south. Any organized force In politics auto matically riilst-s an opposing force. The sectional feeling Is not dead beyond hope of reviving. We know of no bet ter way of reviving it than for the south to make demands In the name of the south and because It Is the south. A southern man, it Is true, has made a national Issue, but the southern man In so doing It has become a national figure, and as such Alabama and ber sister stales could and should ask his nomination at the hands of a national democracy.
