X ii rsi ?i s Wraths ^ It is trite, to nay tb at love is the rtest motivo power that raos tho nui terse Wo know it, foal it and nobody disputes it. Sut too orten we fail to realize the terring consequences to ourselves, that follow the nursing of wrath, the'cultivation--, of hate, the harboring of evil fchongbts. Somebody has said, the gentlest are the daring, the loving are the brave, or something to that effect, and it is true. The eternal nursing hf hate dwarfs tho soul and not ?only shuts out the sunshine of love, 'which is as essential to the development of the better traits, of human obaraoter as ".otto's sunshine io to tbe ripened fruit; but H feeds upon itself and like aparasiteff a cancer,. cats ?ito the vir t8ls of character. A man may be strong-, vigorous, ro bust. Ho may havo^enough vitality lDd steam to ruo a little world, but jf bc nurses wrath and continually tries to get even with his enemies; if bc gives way to his hates and spends bis days and nights in thinking of his wrongs and of the dark spots on the character of others, ho will shrivel up/ |0d become as profitless as the tree that has heed sapped., ij| Love begets love, and hate ?ngete bate. Wo nan no more nurse our wrath and escapo damage, than we can .take posion into the systeiri and ex pect to be unhurt. . ''-|?S Did you ever stop , to think how much real good can be. accomplished by a kindly word, a token of appr?cia tion, a sympatbetlo look? Not pro-* fessiooal politeness or the palaver that is put OD. Not the formal greeting or the iasinoere demon'?ration. The man who has the milk, of human kind ness in his soul, whose life is lighted with the divine spark of love, who feels noble impulses. and is honest, can detect the genuine, heartfelt hand shake as readily and as unerringly as the expert picks tho true atone out ot a bundle of counterfeits-. Why not "gather up the sunbeams lying all around our path?" It is more pleasant to-dwell with kindly thoughts, to cherish love than hate.;; It is more profitable, The inan who go?s prowling through the World" bunt ing out the bad, living in tho atmos phere of suspicion, of envy and halley is denying himself tho ?l?ments that goto sweeten life, t?? is,drying Up hisvory soul and retrograding faster tbau those Whom he maligns.

The magnificent roar 1 that are Just blooming in such rich profusion, give ?expressed delight to those who cnn look upon them in life and inhale their sweet frngrance; hut they are wortL ICBB to the dead. The Almighty did not intend that these flowers should bloom merely to be planed ba tbs gravea of departed loved, ones.'. They have a greater mission, a more tangible and real part to play in1 the wonomy of to? wialvarae, . It is a beautiful custom, a sacred pleasure to pl?oe flowers on tho gravea of our loved ones. It ia God-like to speak neill of the dead, to remember tbs good only? But don't save all of tbe flowers for the cemetery. Don*t store up all your gc jd words and kind ly expressions for obituaries.

It would not bs so far out of the w?y if some idle legislator would frame a . bill providing for some protection for the decent, .common sense and irre sponsible citizens of the public against suoh breaches of propriety and perpetrations of unbecoming conduct. A modest woman would not allow a husband tb make suoh an'unwonted, bold and bare show, however sincere it may be, nor would a right*thinking man heap suoh an indeoenoy upon his wife. Public sentiment should re strain unmarried persona. And y ?.t it esiHts, aud, like mistakes, in very good households. You eau sizs up a woman from tbe manner in which sho treats her hus band in public, and you oan pretty generally size up a mao' by tho kind of wife he has, though there aro excep tions, of course. Voting persons who make a public display of their affec tions ncod no sizing up at all-except by an officer of the law. Not long ago a couple sped along en route for Richmond. The train . was barely underway before they came in to contact. The engine shifted, the wheels ground, making it so noisy. that it became necessary that tho two' heads oome together, apparently for conversation, though both seemed to be feeling too pleasant to say a word. Af ter a while tho train had shaken off the city limits, and as the bar? fields and scanty woods commenced to go by the window, righten the gaze of au entire car full, ?hose attention had been attracted and became' trans fixed,.this woman tucked her head at aa angle of about twenty*fiye degrees,: with a leanioe movement.

The hand was /soon lost to sight, however, as hiB arm dis appeared from the top of the'seat. With ibis assurance the head, hair, hat, veil and all werft square down on his shoulder. Subsequently they fell to eating the same piece of chocolate enndy.. He took the biggest bite and' sire pulled his mustache. For eighty? five minutes by the watch thia sick ening performance went on.

Then naming a number of objects abe let tho chil dren tell to what kingdom it belong ed. They enjoyed the exercise im mensely. .
