    You must keep going.
There is no stopping on the way,
The same old hustle day by day,
You cannot stop in some one's way,
You must keep going.
ff you would reach fame's topmost
rung
You must keep going;
Begin the strifs while your are young, |
And then keep going.
If you would keep from dire distress,
if you would make a big success,
And reap reward and happiness,
You must keep going.
-Joe Cone, in the New York Sun.

believe we shouid be better Christians
ourselves if we remembeered at all
times that there is a spark of divinity
in every human being however low
he may have fallen, and that a word
of real kindness may effect what looks
of scorn can never do.
It was a delightful day in June—a
day when life budded and blossomed
in the meadow-grasses, burst Into
song in the throats of the robins and
yellow birds, and throbbed with pleas-
ant vigor in the veins of human,
A day made for enjoyment; and no-
where wis t= ==aat gayety more fully
felt than in Dinorah Estlin's little
parlor, where she sat like a queen,
surrounded by her loyal subjects.
There was an indefinable charm in
ber presence, setting her apart from
that group of fair girls who had been
ther playmates from childhood; she
was self reliant, yet tender; proud,
yet with all the grace of humility
underlying her pride; a sort of prin-
cess to those whom she esteemed

Blue eyes were sparkling with glad,

AN UNMAILED LOVE LETTER.
Oversight That Wrecked a
Promising Life.
Half a century ago a young English
man, while traveling, met a beautiful’
girl and promptly fell In love with
her. A few days later he returned
home, and his first act was to write
her a love letter. In it he told her
that he could not be happy without
her and that if she regarded his pro
posal favorably he would expect a re
ply by the next mall.
To this letter he received no answer
and so disappointed was he that from
that time until his death, which oo
curred recently, he shut himself up
in his home and lived like a hermit
Most of his time was spent in reading
and tho day after his funeral the heirs
began to search the hooks in ‘his Ib
brary, for they thought it quite pos
gible that the eccentric old man might
have hidden some bank notes in them.
They found none. but in a tattered
old pamphlet they found another kind
of note, the love letter which was
written fifty years ago, and which the
writer had forgotten to mail
