Boys, for such I love to call you, and such most of you are until five and twenty, set up a high standard and never lire of trying to reach it. Don't begin your day with a cigar and end in a theater, billiard room or club. Keep innocency, for in the end it shall profit thy soul much and open the way of heaven for thee. Nev er believe the pernicious saying that young men must sew wild oats." "Girls, don't be in a haste to wed. Build up healthy bodies by good food, plenty of exercise and sleep. Learn all the household arts before you attempt to make a home. Above all, select your friends with care. Avoid girls who live only for fashion, flirtation and enjoyment, and use the privilege all women may claim, to decline the acquaintance of young men whose eyes will not bear inspection by the innocent eyes of women. Set your standard high and live up to it, sure that the reward will come, here or hereafter, and in the form best suited to your needs. "Birth, marriage and death are three solemn mysteries given us to study, and the second of these is the key which solves the prob lem of the other two, since well born children and true wedded love will help us to bless and save the world, and send us rejoicing to receive our reward in the next."

Sledge 01 In a certain home missionary movement, every participant was to contribute a dollar that she had earned herself by hard work. The night of the collection of the dol lars came, and various and droll were the stories of earning the money. One woman had sham pooed hair, another had baked doughnuts, another had secured newspaper subscriptions, and so on. The chairman turned to a handsome woman in the front row. "Now, madame, itisyourturn," he said. "How did you earn your dollar?" "I got got it from my husband," she answered. "Oh !" said he. "From your husband? There was no hard work about that?" The woman smiled faintly. "You don'tknow my husband," she said. Young man, the safest way to study the color of her eyes is through a telescope.

START THt DAY RIGHT. Start the day right. When the sun comes to greet you Give it a smile for each ray that it sends. Shake oft' the worries that long to defeat you, Strengthen your faith in yourself and your friends Yesterday's ghost will be striving to haunt you, Yesterday's errors may come to your brain; Throw off the worries that trouble and haunt you; Start the day right; begin over again. What a brief span is the longest existence One flashing journey from Nothing to Night! Show while you may the old Roman resistance Off with your drowsiness into the fight ! Never an empire was won by a laggard; Never a prize was obtained but by worth; Heed not the sneers of the misanthropes haggard; Start the day right and they'll know you're on earth. Start the day right and you'll find as it passes Something to live for and something to love. View not the future through indigo glasses Note the bright streams and the blue skies above. Failure may mock you through years of endeavor, Fame and success may not come at your will; But nothing can baffle a climber forever; Start the day right, and you're half up the hill. If Ynu Must Fall In Life's Battle, Fall With a Smile on Your Face. A woman who had many sor rows and heavy burdens to bear, but who was noted for her cheer ful spirit, once said in explanation: "You know I have had no money. I had nothing to give but myself; and so I made the resolution that I would never sudden any one else with my troubles. I have laughed and told jokes when I could have wept. I have always smiled in every misfortune. I have tried to never let any one go from my pres ence without a happy word or a bright thought to carry with hint. And making happiness engenders happiness. I myself tm happier than I would have been had I sat down and bemoaned my fate." This gospel of happiness is one which every one should lay to heart. Set out with the invincible determination that you will bear burdens and not impose them. Whether the sun shines or the rain falls, show a glad face to your neighbor. If you must fall in life's battle, you can at least fall with a smile on your face. Wellspring. GOT HIS NUMBER. LOVE THYSELF LAST. Love thyself last. Look near, behold thy duty To those who walk beside thee down life's road, Make glad their days by little acts of beauty, And help them bear the burden of earth's load Love thyself last. Look far and find the stranger Who staggers 'neath his sin and his despair, Go lend a hand, and lead him out of danger To heights where he may see the world is fair. Love thyself last. The vastnesses above thee Are filled with Spirit Forms, strong and pure, And fervently these faithful friends shall love thee; Keep thou thy watch o'er others and endure. Love thyself last, and ah, such joy shall thrill thee, As never yet to selfish souls was given Whate'er thy lot, a perfect peace will fill thee, And earth shall seem the ante-room of Heaven. Love thyself last, and thou shall grow in spirit To see, to hear, to know, and understand, The message of the stars, lo, thou shalt hear it, And all God's joys shall be at thy command. Ella Wheeler Wilcox. "I'm sorry to tell you, mum. that I'll lie Iravinjr you next week. I'm tfoitig to get mar ried ?" "That so, Emma? Who, is the lucky man?" "Hb'r a policeman, mum.

"How many barrels have you put up this year, Silas?" said one. "Only seven, Joel," was the reply. "Got any handy ?" "Sure thing, Silas," and Joel went into the house, returning soon with some of the apple elixir iu a big tin dipper. "Try that," said he, and Silas sipped. "Well, what do you think of it?" Joel inquired, Silas shook his head dubious- iy. "Don't you like it, Silas?" was the anxious inquiry. "How many barrels did you say you made, Joel?" asked Silas. "Seven." "Well.
