What we get of most value in the country, physicians and philosophers say, are the sweet smell jf grass and flower and tree. It is not chiefly the spirits, the alcohol, iu cologne that invigorates ; it Is the essence of aromatic oils. The delight * that a rose gives to everybody is due j to some mysterious stimulus the rose fragrance has for the nerves. Half | the delight iu walking in old lanes in , ihe country comes from the invisible trailing streamers and floating clouds ( of flower incense in the air. ' m ? A freshmau in a college In the city was anxious to mail a letter. Having , been told to drop it into the red box . at the corner, he hurried out of the ? building and ran down the street. He saw a red box, but could flud no opening in which to put his letter, j He searched for any possible direction on the box, and noticed in large letters, < IVlUg limvvi He rang twice and waited to see | what would happen, expecting a door to fly open into which he could drop the letter. Suddenly an open buggy dashed up, aud a man in blue uniform jump?d out. "VVhere is it?" he demanded. "Here it is, thank you," said the freshman. "Please mail it at ouce." The fire-captain looked at the letter and then at the retreating student's figure. Then he dropped the letter into the box across the street, reported the alarm false, and went back to the station. ^ Boys, if you want to be respected and to succeed in life, be willing to work; to work hard, and with au honest endeavor to do the best of your ability. Put your shoulder to the wheel to help both yourself and others. Work, unless you have inherited wealth, is the only way by which you can obtain an honest liviug. Therefore do not rest satisfied to pick up auy job that offers, but engage in a legitimate business that, should your acquaintance ask what it is, your friends may be able to tell them. Take up the special line you find you are 4he best adapted to, and go at it with a will; and with the favor of God resting upon you, you are sure to succeed. The word "lost" on the lips of Jesus Christ, is a word of deep and sad sympathy and pathos, and not of wrath, as so uiauy understand it. 7 mm Will Open To-Morrow Thursday 2(1, \J The Most Extensive Line of MILLINERY, Silks, Velvets, Capes, Jackets, Chenille, Porteres, X irimminfYC I 1111III III Dress Goods, Curtains, &c.
