JUDGE NOT.
Judge not! Thou canst not tell
Why he thy brother fell.
Wilt too thy flowers might
Exposed unto the blight;
Thy singing birds quite dumb
'Neath darkened skies become.
Judge not! Thou dost not know
Why he has acted so.
lie not so sure thy grain
Could long resist such rain;
Thy bark thus tempest tossed
Might not the bar have crossed.
Judge not! Thou canst not say
Just where the blame to lay.
From strings long snapped in twain
Comes out the sweet refrain;
From streamlets frozen deep
Not soon the waters leap.
Hid not from that poor heart
The one last hope depart ;
lint judging questioning not;
The past all all forgot
Let silence be the gem
Of mercy's diadem.
WHAT WILL YOU BE?
Wo see two boys standing side by
side. Both are intelligent-looking and
kind-looking; but one becomes an idle
shiftless fellow and the other an in-
fluential and useful" man. Perhaps
when they were boys no one could have
seen much difference between them;
when they were men the contrast was
marked. One became dissolate step
by step; the other becamo virtuous
step by step. As one went up the
other went down.
It is a question of great moment
What -will you be? One determines
he will do right and improve his powers
and opportunities to the utmost. He is
industrious learns his business becomes
a partner or proprietor and is known
as a man of influence and power. An-
other does not determine to be bad but
is lazy and neglects to improve his
opportunities. He shirks work ho
"fools around;" next ho is seen with
tobacco and probably beer and whiskey
follow; his appearance shows he is
unhealthy; ho does not do his work
well; he loses his position and becomes
intemperate and probably a criminal.
There are many to-day who are stand-
ing at the parting-place. You can take
one path and you will go down as sure
as the sun rises. If you prefer to hang
around a saloon instead of reading good
books at home then you are on the
-road to ruin. If you do not obey your
parents if you run away from school
if you lie if you swear you will surely
go down in life.
If a boy steadily improves his time
tries to learn his business obeys his
father and mother is truthful and
industrious is respectful and pleasing
toward others ho will succeed. No one
can stop his doing well in life. He
has determined that ho will be a noble
specimen of a man and every good
person will help him.
A NOBLE REVENGE.
During 1893 a severe epidemic of
typhoid fever raged in France. In
that extremity the Sisters which have
been driven from the hospitals by
infidels were remembered and called
to nurse the sick. Of their number
forty-three contracted the disease and
eighteen died. In calling attention to
these facts so honorable to the Sisters
the Journal of Medical Sciences says:
"The public is aware on the honor
conferred on the Sisters during the
epidemic of typhus of 1S93 by a govern-
ment which has expelled them. The
lay nurses were loft in the usual wards
of the hospitals. To nurse those stricken
with the contagion the persecuting
government had to appeal to the Sisters.
We ask to be permitted to stop long
enough to bow respectfully before those
premature graves made to receive women
who spent their lives in obscurity hid-
ing even their names and who inspired
by the most perfect charity braved
death shunned by others."
