THOUGHTS FOR THE DAY.

Satan was the first reformer. He who does not understand your silence will probably not understand your words, J \ * * * The world is full of folks -who are quick to ascribe an ulterior motive to every generous act. '**♦•• Astuteness is only valuable in protecting us from astute people. It adds nothing of value to the community. • * * • • How sharper than a serpent’s tooth is a thankless parent. » • • • • An ounce of performance is worth more than a pound of preachment. #<»#««• You can lead a boy to college, but you can’t make him think. ***** Most of the frightful cruelties inflicted on men during the past have arisen simply out of a difference of opinion arising through a difference of temperament. It is a concrete absurdity to say that we must all do the same thing. ****** Sing the praise of the average woman —the woman who docs her work, who is willing to be unknown, who is modest and unaffected, who trios to lessen the pains of earth, and to add to its happiness. She is the true guardian angel of mankind.
