Blank Also all A little boy ia Holland was ing tine night from a village to which he had been sent by hie father on an errand when he noticed the water ling through a narrow opening in the dyke He stopped and thought what the consequences would bo if the hole was not closed He knew for he had often heard his father tell the sad dis- asters which happened from such small beginnings how in a few hours the opening would become bigger and ger and let in the mighty mass of water pressing on the dyke until the whole defense being washed away tho rolling dashing angry waters would sweep on to the next village destroying life and property and everything in its way Should he run home and alarm the lagers it would be dark before they conld arrive and the hole might even then be so large aa to defy all attempts to close it Prompted by these he seated himself on the banks the canal stopped the opening with hie hand and patiently waited the approach of some villager Bat no one Hoar after hour rolled by jet there the heroic boy in cold and darkness shivering wet and tired but stonily pressing his hand against the dangerous breach All night he stayed at his post At last the morning broke A clergyman walking up the canal heard a groan and looked around to see where came from Why are yoa there my child he asked seeing tbe boy and surprised at his strange tion keeping 1 ack the water sir and saving tho village from being answered the child with lips so benumbed with cold that he could scarcely speak Tho astonished ter relieved the boy The dyke was closed and the danger which ed hundreds of lives was prevented This story my good boys and girls I have read in some of tbe newspapers and I tell it to yoa as presenting for your imitation three important pies Second The noble boy understood and faithfully applied the philosophy of cut ling off and stopping evils while they are small and easily That little break in the embankment which held back the flow of water which was so small that he conld er it over and hold back the little run of water with his hand would if it had been left open soon have been worn away by that litlle but increasing stream until it would have become a chasm through which the flow wonld have rushed down and drowned the village So boys and girls may get drawn into little bad habits which must be stopped at once or they will grow and strengthen until it will be very difficult to overcome them and they will both destroy their own happi- ness and injure their friends and all around them But habits if you con- in them will be every day ing themselves stronger and you er until they will be the master and you the slave Then my dear children as the brave little boy in the story held back the little run of water with his and wonld not let it go until he obtained assistance to it permanently so when you find any little evil habit ed up in your manners or stop it instantly be determined and resolute to stop it while it is little and you can master it Third That little boy was willing to work and even suffer for the good of others He loved his neighbors and did not feel willing that all or any of those families men women and dren should be So he stayed all the night alone holding back the water of the dyke that those sleeping families should not be destroyed Wasn't that a noble This is the principle on which Jesus Christ acted in all his and suffering to establish in the world that religion which shall enlighten save and bless mankind And it is the principle on which all those great and good men and women have acted who have labor ed and toiled for the good of others My children cherish this noble tian principle make your lives ful to society BE Both men and women belie their nature thoy are not kind Have you made one heart happy to If you can retire at night and sweetly sleep Yours is an ble position In all this life what is more desirable than to knew you have in any way alleviated the woes of fering humanity that you have opened the door for a to the gloomy heart and brought joy and gladness where only darkness and sorrow Have you made one heart sad day have yon added one to the already full cap of sorrow of some weary one? It is the little things that annoy distract and bring many a hour to children One unkind word may embitter a whole day an unkind act may estrange and drive away the loving heart If we act upon this maxim strive to make some heart happy to-day no matter bow lowly or degraded heart If we would add to the ures of others every day then would the ugly fiends of discord and unrest disappear Try it ye discontented grumblers it will make that little part of the world in which you dwell a loving paradise I am an Carpenter in a humble way of course sometimes do my own painting Once having put together a table I sent for a pot of paint and was beginning to lay it on when the painter boy who had brought it and stayed from a perhaps mischievous desire to witness my performance work work that's the rule It lays ori the paint belter besides saving That loy's counsel has remained with me ever since and has been to many applications for what is a good rule in thing is generally good in an other There are indeed some operations both of the hand and mind require long elaboration and exquisite finish But work work is a rule which has as fow exceptions either in manual or mental labor as any other Generally it does the work better as well as saves time A great Roman used to speak of a certain felicitas in- sperata et an unlocked and unbidden activity of the mind when it produces with a vigor and winch surprises itself Every thinking and man whatever be the and form of his labor knows what that id It is just as trua of the hand as of the as true of the mechanic or the artist as of the writer Homer says the maker of the belt of Hercules never could produce another like it We can all do greater and better things at sometimes than we can at others Mind has its tions it has its high and low tides its bloom and deciduousness as well as grosser things When we arc scious of such a mental state then at least and especially let us work q tick But this very elasticity and vigor of mind is sometimes brought on to some extent by working quick The mind lends itself cheerfully to carry out a prompt and earnest purpose or to meet a pressing exigency Have not some of the best things you have ever done have been done quick Some writer has put down a lation of the amount which would be added to conscious and useful life by rising at five in the morning iastead of seven The sum of
