' The habit of looking at the bright side of things !s worth more than a. . thousand a year.—Samuel Johnson. Self-reliance, self-restraint, self-con-trol, self-discipline, these constitute an educated will.—James Freeman Clarke. Life Is too short to nurse one's misery. Hurry across the lowlands, that you may spend more time on the mountain tops.—Phillips Brooks. No higher respect is due the greatest Inventor or discoverer than to the woman who has mastered the science of domestic economy.—Horace Mann. I think It must be somewhere written that the virtues of mothers shall occasionally be visited on their children as well as the sins of the fathers. —Charles Dickens. There never did, and never will, exist anything permanently noble and excellent in the character which is a stranger to the exercise of resolute selfdenial.—Walter Scott. I could write down twenty cases wherein I wished that God had done otherwise than he did, but which I now see, if I had had my own way, would have led to extensive mischief.—Richard Cecil. I am confident there is a relation to God through Christ, which can make life perfectly peaceful and happy under all possible circumstances, and throw an unimaginable glory over this world. —C. L. Brace. I believe it is fuly in the hands of Christians of the United States during the next fifteen or twenty years, to hasten or retard the coming of Christ’a kingdom in the world by hundreds, perhaps thousands of years.—Josiah Strong. It is true I cannot prevent the introduction of the flowing poison; gainseeking and corrupt men will, for profit and sensuality, defeat my wishes; but nothing will induce me to derive a revenue from the vice and misery of my people.—Emperor of China. Nearness of life to the Savior will necessarily Involve greatness of love to him. As nearness to the sun increases the temperature of the various planets, bo near and intimate communion with Jesus raises the heat of the soul’s affections for him.—Spurgeon. Only to a man wholly destitute of spiritual perception can It be that Christianity should fail to appear the greatest exhibition the beautiful, the sublime, and of all else that appeals to our spiritual nature, which has ever been known tu our earth.—Prfrf.

The editors of the McClure’s Magazine call attention to the unacountable neglect of Lincoln as a subject for a magazine serial. Books about Lincoln have nesessarily—like all books of biography—a limited circulation, and only once before hjfs a magazine published a life of Lincoln. People at large know little of the first forty years of Lincoln’s life, 'Few know that be was a man grown before he left Indiana for Illinois, l He spent fourteen years in southern Indiana, and left there in his twenty-second year. Thera is a remarkable resemblance between the early portrait of Lincoln in McClure's for November and the portrait of Emerson.
