THOUGHTS FOR THE TIMES.
„ Lowly, But Groat. One of the most poetic of French writers observes that ‘'the drop of dew which hangs from the blade of grass collects a sky as vast and as pure as the boundless ocean in its azure plains.” In like manner the most obscure life can reflect as much beauty as / that of those illustrious personages whose glory the trumpets of fame will never cease to sound. The lives of most of us are drawn on so small a scale that our ambition must be content with modern achievement, yet even so. there is no reason why they should not be perfect of their kind. Greatness of sold is altogether independent of circumstances. and the loveliest natures are often found where outward conditions rr seem to he the most unpromising. —L.C.
