THE BUSY MAN.
If you want to get favor done
Hy some obliging frend, y
And want a promise, safe and sure,
On which you may depend.
Don't go to him who always has ,
Much leisure time to plan,
But if you want your favor done,
Just ask the busy man. . -
The man with leisure never has
A moment he can. spare.
He's always "putting ofTi until
His friends are in dispair.
But he whose every waking hour .
Is crowded full of work -
Forgts the art of "wasting time
He cannot stop to shirk.
So if jou want" favor done.
And want it right away, , ' ' ,
Go to the man who constantly . ,
Works thirty hours day. C
He'll find a moment, sure, somewhere
That has no other use,
And fix you while the idle man
Is framing an excuse. ' i 4. .
BEAUTY is a dangerous gift
It is even so. Like wealth is has
ruined its thousands. Thousands
of the most beautiful women are
destitute of common sense and
humanity. No gift from heaven
is so general and so widely
abused by women as the gift of
beauty In about nine cases in
ten it makes her silly, senseless,
thoughtless, giddy, vain, proud,
frivolous, selfish, low and mean.
We think we have seen more
gins spoiled by beauty than by
an v other one thing. ' 'She is
beautiful and she knows it" is as
mucin as to say she is spoiled 1 A
beautiful girl is very likely to be-
cho wae mariA tn ho lAnlfAfl
at- and so she sets herself up for y
a show at every window,' in every
doai. on every cornor ot the
street, in every company at
which opportunity off ers for an
exhibition of herself. And be
lieving and acting thus she soon
becomes good for nothing else
and when she comes middle-aged
woman she is that weakest most
sickening of human things a
faded beauty. i i ir - A:
TRUE LIVING..
It seems to be difficult in this
world for men and women to
keep a middle course. For one
itisali saving and working for
another all. spending and shirk
ing. And neither is happy.
Idleness has as many miseries
as overwork. It is only those
lives in which labor and leisure
are united that truly ; are happy.
The middle course is the right
course. We must have some
purpose in living and work
enough to be self-respecting.
No idle person is self-respecting
and without self-respect we can
not be happy. We must have
time to rest and cultivate the
mind and the heart. Too much
work stupefies the intellect and
deadens the affections; A
woman who is "tired to death"
connot be bright and cannot ap
pear affectionate, however tender
hearted she may be naturally.
It takes a great deal of intelli
gence, character and good sense
for a woman who "does her own
work and cares for her own
children, not to overwork. The
demands - upon her time aird
strength are manifold. There
are a thousand things to be done
in the house. .. 7 i "
Surely life was made for some
thing more than this, or else it is
not worth the living. God has
endowed man with several nat
ures, a physical, a mental, a
moraL Man cannot live by bread
alone. He must have food for
the mind and food for. his heart.
It is as great a sin to starve the
soul as to starve the body. A
mental or moral suicide1 does not
seem so dreadful as physical self
destruction, because it is less
palpable, less sudden, less appar
ent in its results; but, it, would
seem more terrible if we had-the
power to see the effect consumat
ed. A dead mind, a! dead heart,
a dead soul, that drags itself
about in a living body, is a ter
rible spectacle. Whether-this
deadening of the soul is the re
sult nf active immorality, or - of
w w w
passive submission to over, work
and neglect oi tne nigner nauure,
its result is the same. We must
not fling away and santne

have labored until we are weary
it is right to stop and rest; it is

surround himself with clippings
of paperuntil he is almost buried
in them. Excellent! There
could not be a better amusement

clean
