general of JR THB AND NO- PUBLIC in Pio p at tbe cant door A little boy In Holland was ing one night from a village to which he had been sent by his 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 in the mighty mass of water pressing on the dyke until the whole defense being washed away the 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 could arrive and the hole might even then be so large as to defy all attempts to close it Prompted by these he seated himself on the banks of the canal stopped the opening with his hand and patiently waited the approach of some villager But no one Hour after hour rolled slowly by jet there sat the heroic boy in cold and shivering wet and tired but stoutly 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 you there ray child he asked seeing the boy and surprised at his strange tion keeping 1 ack the water sir and saving the village from being answered the child with lips so benumbed with cold that he scarcely speak The astonished ter relieved the boy The dyke was closed and the danger which ed hundreds of lives was prevented This story nay good boys and girls 1 have read in some of tbe newspapers and I tell it to you as presenting for your imitation important ples First That little boy is an example of bravery and perseverance in doing what he believed to be his duty should study to know what is your ty and always do it and God will tect and bless vou Second The noble boy understood and faithfully applied the philosophy of cutting off and stopping evils while they are small and easily That little break in the embankment which held back flow of water which was so small that he could er it over and hold back the little run of water with his hand would if it lad 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 would lave rushed down and drowned the village So boys and girls may et drawn into little bad habits which must be stopped at once or they will 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 ng 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 band and would not let it go until he obtained assistance to it permanently BO when you find any little evil habit ed up in manners or conduct btop 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 drowned 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 nnl women belia their natur th 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 know you hare in any way alleviated the woes of suf fering humanity that you have opened the door for a ray to the gloomy heart and brought joy and gladness where only darkness and sorrow It Have you made one heart sad to day have you added one drop to the already full cup of sorrow of som weary one? It is the little things tha annoy distract and bring many a hour to children On unkind word may embitter a day an unkind act may estrange ant drive away the loving heart If we act upon this maxim strive to make some heart happy matter how lowly or degraded that heart If we would add to the ures of 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 iu which vou dwell a loving paradise M WORK QUICK I am an Carpenter in a way of course sometimes o my own painting Once having ml together a table I sent for a pot f paint and was beginning to lay it in when the painter boy who had it and stayed from a perhaps mischievous desire to witness my performance work vork that's the rule It lays jn the paint better besides saving That loy's counsel has remained vith mo ever since and has been put o many applications for what is a ocd rule in one thing is generally ood in an other There are indeed ome operations both of tbe hand and which require long and exquisite finish But cork is a rule which has as few exceptions either in manual mental abor as any other Generally it does the work better as well as saves time A great Homan used to speak of a certain in- et an unlocked and unbidden activity of the mind when produces with a vigor and facility surprises itself Every thinking and man be the and form of labor knows what that is It is just as of tho 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 and better things at sometimes than we can at others Hind has its tions it has its high and low tides its bloom and as well as grosser things When we are con- scious of such a mental state then at least and especially let us work q nek But this very elasticity and vigor of mind is sometimes brought on to some extent by working quick The mind lends itself cheerfully to cany out a prompt and earnest or to meet a pressing exigency Have not some oi the best things you have ever done have been done quick Some writer has put down a lation of the amount would be added to conscious and useful life by rising at five in the morning of seven The sum of e intervals in a life of ordinary length was absolutely startling It amounted to several years It would be quite as useful au enquiry though not capa- ble of adjustment how much time might be saved how much achievement might be added td the sum of our life's labor by working quick Some of the most successful in
