A great factory with the machinery all working and revolving with aibso- , lute and rythmic regularity and with the nlen all driven by one impulse and -moving in unison as' though a constituent part of the mighty machine, is one of the most inspiring examples of directed force that the world shows I have rarely seen the fact of a mechanic in the act of creation which was not fine, never one which was not earn- ~ eet and impressive.— Thomas Nelson Page m •••••... MAKING HEROES. It ie a calumny oh men to say that they are roused to heroic action by ease, hope of pleasure, recompense— sugar plums of any kind, in this world c or the next 1 In the meanest mortal - there lies something nobler. . . It is not to taste sweet things, but to do noble and true things, and vindicate himself under God's heaven, as a Gou- . made man, that the poorest son of .-■" Adam dimly- longs. Show him the way of doing that, and the dullest day drudge kindless into a hero.—Carlyle. SHIRKIN>G THE CORNERS. Perhaps there are no habits so hard r to overcome as those of general loose -.ness and want of system. They are often associated with abundant energy. ■. . The corners are not shirked through fatigue, but there is an unaccountable persistency in avoiding them, which resolution and preaching are alike unable to conquer. The root of the inconsistency is a desire speedily to " achieve results. To keep this desire in subjection, to shut the eyes to results, put patiently to remove the ~ duet to the last atom of it lying in the dark angle, is a good part of selfculture 'Mark Rutherford.

GROUPING OLD LEIStJttELW It is good to have been young in youth, and, as years go on, to grow older. Many arc already old before they are through their teens; but to tiavol deliberately through one's ages is to g«t the heart out of a liberal education. Times change, opinions

vary to their opposite, and still this * world appears a brave gymnasium, full of eea bathing, ■ and horse exercise, end bracing, manly virtues; and what can be more encouraging to find the it- friend who was welcome at one age, still welcome at another Our affections and beliefs are wider than we; the best that is in us is better than we can understand, for it is grounded beyond experience, and guides vie, blindfold but from one age to another.—Stevenaon. ?*****»* THE CALJj OF GOD. Now believe me, God Hides some ' ideal in every human soul. At eomo time in our life we feel a trembling, fearful longing to do some good tiling Life finds ite noblest spring of excellence in this hidden impulse to do our beet. There is a time when wo arc - not content to be such merchants, or doctors, or lawyers, as we see on the dead level or below it. Tho woman longs to glorify her womanhood as „ eister, wife,, or mother. . . Hero is God— God standing silently at the door all day long —God whispering to the eoul that to bo piwe and true is to succeed in life, and whatever we i, get short *of that will burn up like etubble, though the whole world try to eave it.—Robert Collyer. WHOLESOME INFLUENCE. If society is less narrow, and selfish, I? 1 and intolerant, and apathetic than it uaed to bo, it is because they who are _, the salt of the efirth have not disdained to mix with ite grosser and earthier element*. AlLjtfhe improvements in * public 6entimen£- r And the advancements in general knowledge which have marked the course of recent generations are to be attributed to the wholesome influence of men who -could think and , feel and who Rteadily exercised, often quite obscurely yet none the less usefully, in their time and place, tho subtle but powerful attraction ol the ■* greater mind over tho less.— P. G. Hamerton. t \
