I will repeat no unkind remarks I hear of anyone, and discourage others as much as possible from saying unkind things. 3. I will judge my neighbor leniently remembering that my own faults are probably far greater. 4. I will never say one thing to others and yet think quite differently ; this is hypocrisy. 5. I will make no injurious remarks on the failings of others, remembering these words: "Consider thyself, lest thou also be tempetd." 0. I will put the best construction on the motives and actions of all my neighbors. 7. I will act unselfishly, peaceably, and forgivingly, obeying my Master's command, "Love one another." A Boy Stronger Tiinn ? Man. The conscience is one part of man which is not always developed in proportion to bis age or size, and the reL proof of a certain boy was very just to " some men who knew better than to take the name of their Master in vain. A lad in Boston, rather small for his age, works in au office as errandboy for four gentlemen who do business there. One day the gentlemen were chafing him a little for being so small, and said to him: "You will n?vpr Rmoiinf. ta mnr-li von nn<\ nmmf do much ; you are too small." The little fellow looked at them. "Well," said he, "as small as I am, I can do something that neither of you can do." "Ah, what is that?" said they. "I don't know as I otght to tell you," he replied. But they were so anxious to know, and urged him to tell what he could do that neither of them were able to do. "I can keep from swearing," said the little fellow. There were some blushes on fout faces, and there seemed to be no anxiety for further information. ^ ^ Abraham Lincoln once received a letter asking for a "sentiment" and his autograph. He replied: "Dear Madam:?When you ask from a stranger that which is of interest only to yourself, always enclose a stamp there's your sentiment, and here't your autograph. A Lincoln." Life is a building. It rises slowly, ^ day by day, through the years.l Every new lesson we learn laps a block on pditicp tt'tlich i? riuinrr oilonllii ? - ? "6 within us. Every experience, ever^ touch of another life on ours, ever^ influence that impresses us, everj book we read, every conservation wt have, every act of commonest days, adds something to the invisible building.

Af:er taking his r~T seat he presently began to be very un t comfortable, for everybody seemed amused at him. Glances were leveled * in his direction, girls gggled, elderly ladies drew their faces into a pucker, and the atmosphere of the place was as I electric as the fluid which sent the car through the space. After a short interval the puzzled gentleman diucovered that it was not he who was the object of mirth to his comrades on the road but a poor, shy, blutihing, tearful, trembling, frightened girl who was le- sittiug by his 9ide. Sh>3, poor child, [o- was dressed in outre fashiou, which did of not please the Bet or people in that jes conveyance, and, evidently, she had of met with an accident, for her clothing be was tumbled and torn, her face bruised ed and cut, and one haud had been yp- wrentched, and seemed to be paining he her very much. I can imagine nothire ing more brutally ill-bred and rudely be ighorant and unfeeling than the behavch iorof those silly girls and boys, and ng still more silly grown-up people, in er, the car.
