PERT PARAGRAPHS.
The uses of adversity are blessed In
deed when they point the way to pros
perity.
The best and most universal inaseot
Is hard work and plenty of It faithful
ly perse vered In.
Many a man wben be has drowned
his trouble straightway hunts some
more that he may send It by the flame
route.
People are much Inclined to take you
at your own valuation, so keep a stiff
upper lip and display the original prlc*
tag.
Trouble always has plenty of pro
moters, not a few of which masquer
ade under the guise of peacemakers.
Wheu a man has a strong will he Is
apt to have a won't that Is equally
effective.
There are some very attractive peo
ple In the world whose strong point
seems to be making resolutions and
getting some one else to keep them.
The thing that comes to you tree of
charge sometimes Is apt to discbarge
with a deep and terrific detonation.
