Dying.

As the dying day opens its eyes to the distant lights of stellar worlds, so does the immortal spirit on leaving the dying clay, turn to the lighted temples around the throne of the Most High.

The New Day.

A NEW day is born where an old one

the skies.

Above Envy.

GIVE us a broader knowledge of God's universe, and a home among the stars where there is so much to see and know, and we will envy no man his gold nor span of human power.

Sensibility.

THE lower animals: the horse, ox, and ass, are not the sufferers that we are inclined to think they are. Suffering is chiefly the offspring of reason. A cut of the lash may sting the brute for a moment, while a similar cut on the back of reason would smart for a lifetime.

The Germ of Immortality.

THERE is born of humanity, a germ, susceptible of being fanned into immortal life, in obedience to a higher law of our nature: or, this vital spark may be extinguished on the altar of sin and

mammon.

Gold.

It is said there is nothing that men will not do for gold. It is equally true, that no man can afford to be dishonest for it. Somewhere in life this fact is fully realized by all men.

Croesus is said to have given misrule for his hoarded gold, for which he suf fered the most terrible death; and any man elevated upon a pedestal of gold has an insecure footing.

The Human Mind.

THE penetrating forces of the human mind will not be reached until all the elements are subordinated to its almost limitless desires.

Happiness.

SATISFACTION may be found in many cruel and bruitish ways; while happiness is only reached in making others happy.

Justice.

JUSTICE, broadly defined, is a prompt recognition of merited action, expediency not considered.

Study.

STUDY is the human and divine light of reason.

Memory.

MEMORY is a magnetic force, centered in the brain, extending to, and far beyond the physical limits of the system.

Hard to Please.

PEOPLE who are hard to please, are, from start to finish, martyrs to their own senseless natures.
