A strong desire to secure it for Bennetts ville was manifestad in tin on J I. ,, , j|. l\\n tji . ..J I jj (I ' ,1 fl I .\ .he co H IT Jiouiii- v i<> con fider liv- funking <?? ?ii ?'?ei io ?.no? ?iid lull (> ' M jy . h >l -LLUiilw lw wiii ^UtlllUUU 1IUIII lilt location of such an institution in the town a committee was ap Jjointed, and subscriptions of .110,000 raised along with a ten der of ten acres of land in the most desirable part of town.

Dare to go forward. .. i i'll- tuc ss nea i . JJo not reckou upon chances. Make uo useleas acquaintances. Bo brave in the struggle of life. Maintain your integrity as a sacred thiug. Never appear to be something other than you are. Take time to consider then de cide positively. Carefully examine into every detail of your business. These rules are good from first to last and the young man who will follow them is bound to suc ceed. They are hard to live up to, but success never comes easy. Only those who work for it at tain it. lu giving youug men these rules, the Baron served them bet ter than if ho had given them money.

Goon with your play," But the youth arose, threw his cards on tho tublc and declared that ho would never play again. He went to his room, and after hours of penitent tears was con verted. Thc hymn was Phoebe Cary's "OneSweetly Solemn Thought." -Exchange.
