MAKE THE BEST OF YOUR SELF.

You have seen a pebble thrown into a pond, and have watched the movement it sets up in the water — the ripples which widen and widen till their circles reach the shore. It is so with each human being's existence. There is no human life cast into the great ocean of time which does not set circling ripples moving, which in the end widen'to the shore of Eternity itself. 'Each one of vs — youj I, your friend, every creature 'who 'liyes— sets the' great' sea of humanity astir. Is there one amongst us who would not wish that the waves his life makes might help to bear to safety some boat that needed aid ? Keep always before your mind this great fact — that whether a man's world is at the West End of London or at the East, in Drury Lane or Grosvenor Square, nature gives him at his birth a capital of his own — a brain to think and plan, a heart to feel, two hands to work. It is for the man himself to put this capital out at the best interest, and prove what it will yield. Invest yours well, not only for yourb&lves, but for your fellow-men. — Mrs. Hodgson JJurnett. Arphdeapon Jarrar says there is ropm oply for two more mouuinsnts in Westminster Abbey, and this space is reserved for those to Gladstone and Tennyson.
