BE OF GOOD CHEER.
THE FINE ART OF CONVERSATION.
Talking is one of tile fine arts—the noblest, the most important, the most difficult—and its fluent harmonies may be spoiled'' by tlie intrusion of a single harsh note. Talking is like playing on the harp; there is a much in staying the hand on the strings to stop their vibrations as in twanging them to bring out their mmisic. —O. W. Holmes. * * * * The real joys of life are not the things we get out of it, but those we put into it. There was a time when we measured our success in life by what we have; but we now know that it is how we use what wo have that is true success, as God judges success-. —Dr. Grenfell. * -X* -X- -XAh ! Well for us all, if some sweet hope lies Deeply buried from human eyes ; And if, in the hereafter, angels say, “Roll the stone from its grave away!” —J. G. Whittier
