Talking is like paying on a harp ; there i as much in touching the strings to stop their vibrations as in twanging them to bring out their music. It is impossible to bo too uon- acientious, but it a quite possible to develop this quality in a very one- sided way, and to neglect to examine er to verify the principles on which it ts supposed to rest. Everyone who values his or her happiness and peace of mind in this world would do well to cultivate patience. Without it man is like a ship minus a rudder, at the mercy of his impulses, which, if he obeys, may lead him into all sorts of diffi- culties and disasters that may even take a lifetime to undo. Pereerverance and indomitable energy are the secret forces which lead up to the high places ; without these agents, the mind becomes de- pressed at the first failure, and, in- stead of moulding ciroumetances to suit the need, the mind is moulded by them, ane reflects itself in the weak, unsteadfast character of its poesessor. Children cry from two causes— either from temper or from illness, It is the duty of every mother to as- certain whether the latter cause in- duces the fretfulness In her child, and, if so, to take means at once to remove this cause if possible. But, il no ;symptom of suffering be dis covered, tbe ease immediately de- mands other treatment, and the pas- sionuteness or obstinacy must be overcome by moral force. True sympathy brings judgment and tact to its aid, and quickly en- lists the interests and sympathy of the one it would help, thus working with, not in spite of him. The friendly word in season, the timely help m temptation, the kindly fel- low feeling that gladly listens to and fakes into account the side not seen at first, will do more good than all the counsel, be it ever so wise, or admonitions, however pertinent, de livered from a height of fancied sup. eriority and falling with an unwel- come sound on the ears of those ad. - dressed. In all talk about persons it is their merits that we should hasten to disclose, their good deeds that we .should gladly unfold. In all dis. .oussion on character, the good should come into prominence. In all our uttered hopes for the future, our highest ideals should receive the •empisaais. Troth, and not error, light, and not darkness, love, and mot hate, should be our themes. So enay we increase and perpetuate all that is good by frank utterance while evil will decrease and. disappear under the thick drapery of silence. "Nu man's enemy but his own" happens generally to be the enemy of everybody with whom be is in re- lation. he leading quality that goes to make bis character is a reek - less improvidence and a selfish pur- suit of selfish enjoyments, independ- ent of consequences. "No man's enemy but his own" runs rapidly through his means; calls, in a friendly way, on his friends for as- sistance ; leaves his wife a beggar, and quarters orphans upon the pub. lic; entails a life of dependence on hie progeny, and dies in the odour of that ill -understood reputation of harmless folly which to more injur- ious to society than many positive Canadian News Hanover has two brass bands.
