THE ■WEim> OF THE MOR
ROW.
You «iHbo sorry tomorrow, sorry
For the harsh words said
You will wish you had waited a .t .e,
Till the ill mood passed away.
YOU will srieve for the .rieud you wounded,
But you will grieve till your heart
for the sin and strite that entered in
When anger set wide the door.
You will ho sorry tomorrow, sorr r
That so old laoe quivered and hrohe.
As 11 a blow had struck it,
At the hasty words you spoke.
You will bo low in your mind tomorrow,
'•hat a little chilli wilh dread ^
, 1 a ...f cnu'eve went hurrying by,
At the glance ct your eye
With downcast, drooping head,
You will be sorry tomorrow, sorry
That you played the cowardly part,
That you hid in a mask o( silence
And the hyproorito's hateful art.
X.or silence is sometimes shamelul,
A-d born of the moan dogvoo.
And it creeps away at the end of the day,
To lurk where the mean things be,
You will be sorry tomorrow, sorry
For the deed that fears the light,
Oh, why wait lor the morrow
ie you give yourself lor the right!
Ob, why not summon your manhood,
Be noble and brave today,
There is grace to
be had Jor Galahad,
AS be rides cn his perilous way.
Sorrow tomorrow? Truly
It were better to be content.
And have no guilt to atone for,
No wilful sins to re^ient,
The word, the look, the action,
By the help of God may wear
That light of heaven, forever given
In the hush of the answered prayer.
Margaret Sangster.
Meded Smiles,
■‘There doesn’t seem
to be much
warmlli to her voice.” “No; they said it
had sucli a good range, too.”
“The Holy City.”
Thirty men, red-eyed and disheveled,
li.'ed up before a judge of the San I
Francisco police court. It was the reg
ular morning company of “drunks
and disorderlies.” Some were old and
hurdeued, others hung their heads in
shame. Just as the momentary dis
order attending the biiuging in of the
prisoners quieted down, estrange thing
h,uppened. A strong, clear voice from
below began singing:
“Last night I lay a-sleeping,
There came a dream so fair.’’
Lastuigbt! It had been for them all
ii nightmare or a drunken stupor. The
song was such a contrast to the horrible
fact that no one could fail of a sudden
shock at the thought the song suggest
ed.
“I stood in old Jerusalem,
Beside the temple there,”
the song went on. The judge had paus
ed. He made a quiet inquiry. A former
member of a famous opera company,
known all over the country, was await
ing trial for forgery. It was he who
was singing in his cell.
Meantime the song went on, and
every man in the line showed emotion.
One or two dropped on their knees; one
boy at the end of the line, after a des-'
perate effort at self-control, leaned
against the wall, buried his face against
his folded arms, and sobbed, ‘‘O moth-
, mother!”
The sobs, cutting to the very heart
the men who heard, and the song, still
welling its way through the court
room, blended in the hush. At length
one man protested.
^udge,” said he, “have we got to
submit to this? We’re hereto take our
punishment, but this—” He, too, be
gan to sob.
It was impossible to proceed with the
business of the court, yet the judge
gave no order to stop the song. The
police sergeant, after a surprised effort
to keep the men in line, stepped back
and waited with the rest. The song
moved on to itsclimax;

What was “Hobson’s choice” anyway?
FIusband-Mrs. Hobson, I suppose,
Chicago Daily News.
A lawyer said severely, “I have met
this man in a great many places where
I would be ashamed to be seen my
self,” and the court and jury smiled.
“Say, Pat, why don’t you go on a
strike for more wages?” asked the in
quisitive man of an Irish laborer.
“Faith,” replied the son of Erin,“an'
ef iver Oi go on a stroike ’twill be whin
Oi’m out av a job an’ have nothin’ ilse
ter do.’’
but I’m afraid that if he stays arou
the house he will discover it.”
“That’s all right. You just tie
towel around your head and ask him if
he can’t stay at home today and help
take up the carpet.”
“Why is it,” said the youth, “that so
many wise men are not successful?'
“Because, my son,” answered the sagC;
“they spend so much time finding out
how things happen that they forget to
go ahead and make things happen for
themselves.”—Washington Star.
“You seem poorly prepared to an
swer even the simplest question, sir;
said the professor, sternly. “Perhaps
you cannot even tell me who wrote
Caesar’s ‘Commentaries.’ ”
“No, sir, I can’t,” said the student
miserably. “I know the name of the
man just as well as I do my own,
but it’s gone completely out of my
mind for the time being.”—Youth’s
Companion.
At a trial before an Irish justice the
plaintiff’s attorney had made an elo
quent and logical argument. When the
counsel for the defendant took the floor
n dialogue ensued which is thus record
ed in “Wit and Humor of Bench and
Bar:”
“What are you doing?” asked the
justice, as the defendant’s counsel be
gan his argument.
“Going to present our side of the
case.”
‘T don’t want to hear both sides,”
replied the justice. “It has a tindeucy
to confuse the coort.”
A practical joker of New York City
tells this upon himself, and declares it
cured him of a bad habit;
On my arrival at San Francisco, as a
joke, I sent to a friend of mine, well
iMiovf^n for his aversion to spending
jiKiney. a telegram, with charges to col
lect,reading; “I am perfectly healthy.”
The information evidently was grati
fyir gto him, for tbout a week after
s nc'ing the telegram an express pack
age was delivered at ray room,on which
] p.iid |4 50 charges. Upon opening
ti-e package I found a regulatiuu New
Y< I k street paving block, on which -ass
p : led a card which read: “This is the
'M-ight which your recent telcgnm
h{ ed from my heart.’’—Philadelphia

“Jerusalem, Jerusalem I Sing, for the night Is o’er 1
Hosanna iu the highest! hosanna for evermore I
In an ecstacy of melody the last words
rang out, and then there was silence.
The judge looked into the faces of
the men before him. There was not
one who was not touched by the song;
not one in whom some better impulse
was not stirred. He did not call the
cases singly—a kind word of advice,
and he dismissed them all. No man
was fined or sentenced to the'workhouse
that morning. The song had done more
good than punishment could have ac
complished.—The Youth’s Companion.

Good to One’s Self.
saicr~dne'‘o’t t^ie tw*dyoung nieh
parting at a street corner.
The expression was new to a ten-year-
old boy who overheard it. He repeated
it curiously;
“He said be good to himself. 'Wasn’t
that funny? Why, of course, he’ll be
good to himself. Folks are always good
to themselves, even if they aren’t good
to anybody else.”
But it is not at all a matter of course.
No one can be really good to himself
who is not also good to others. Yet
many a one who is generous, obliging,
and kind to those about him is not good
to himself, his best and highest self.
Sensible care for the health of the body,
right development of mind and soul,
discipline, self-control, wise choice of
friends, high ideals, the building up of
character—all these are included in
being good to one’s self. It is seeing
to it that one gets the most out of life,
and a wise writer has said: “The most
anyone can possibly get out of life is
discipline for himself and helpfulness
for others.”—Forward.
Every trouble is an opportunity to
win the grace of strength. Whatever
else trouble is iu the world for, it is
h( re for this good purpose: To develop
strength. For a trouble is a moral and
spiritual task. It is something which is
hf-rd todo. And it is in the spiritual
world as in the physical, strength is
increased by encounter with the diffi
cult. A world without any trouble in
it would be, to people of our kind, a
place of spiritual enervation and moral
leziness. Fortunately every day is
crowded with care. Every day to every
one of us brings its questions, its wor
ries and its tasks—sufficiency of trouble,
'ruus we get our daily spiritual exercise,
Every day we are blessed with new op-
jxTtunities for the development of
strength of soul.—Sel.
As we pass from some experience to
some experiment, from a tried to an
untried scene of life, it is as vphen we
turn to a new page iu a book we have
never read before, but whose author we
know and love and trust to give us on
every page v/ords of counsel and purity
and strengthening virtue.-Phillips
