Emerson On Friendship
Our friendships hurry to short and poor conclusions because we have made them a texture of wine and dreams, instead of the tough fiber of the human heart.
The laws of iriendship are great, austere, and etqrnal, of one web with the laws of nature and of rnorals. But we have aimed at a swift and petty benefit, to suck a sudden sweetness. We snatch at the slowest fruit in the whole Garden of God which many summers and many winters must ripen. We seek o.ur friend not sacredly, but with an adulterate passion, which would appropriate him to ourselves.
I do not wish to treat friendships daintily, but with roughest courage. When they are real, they are not glass threads or frost-work, but the solidest thing we know.
The end of friendship is a commerce, the most strict and homely ttrat can be joined; more strict than any of which we have experience. It is for aid and comfort through all the relations and passages of life and death. It is fit for serene days, and graceful gifts, and country rambles, but also for rough roads and hard fare, shipwreck, poverty, and persecution. It keeps company with the sallies of the wit and the trances of religion. We are to dignify to each other the daily needs and offices of man's life, and embellish it by courage, wisdom, and unity. It should never fall into some thing usual and settled, but should be alert and inventive, and add rhyme and reason to what was drudgery.Emerson.

Short Seasons
In Duluth, Minnesota, they used to say regarding their seasons, that they have eleven months of winter, and one month of poor sleighing.
Farther North, into the Canadian country, the seasons get still more definite. A visitor said to a native up there:
"How long is your summer season, up in this country?"
And the native answered:
"ft came on a'Friday last year. You never can tell."

A Frank Opinion
"Mr. Chairmanr" said the speaker, "there are so many ribald interruptions that I can scarcely hear myself speak."
"Cheer up, Governor," said a voice from the rear; "you aint missing much."
FRANKLIN SAID-
"They that give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety."
Earnestness
I do not belong to the amiable group of "men of compromise." I am in the habit of giving candid and straightforward expression to the convictions which a half-century of serious and laborious study has led me to form. If I seem to you an iconoclast, I pray you to remember that the victory of pure reason over superstition will not be achieved without a tremendous struggle.-Haeckel.
For Benefits Received
So often, Lord, I come to Thee, To ask Thy help in stress, But now in gratitude I come, To say my thankfulness.
For all the mercy Thou has shown In countless gracious ways, I now would be of service, too, That I might prove my praise.
Lord, I would have a listening ear, To hear Thy children callj
In my own heart remembering, No need to Thee is small.
-Loise Givens Vaughan. *'**
Permanency
At a certain college in New England the male students were not allowed to visit the resident lady boarders. One day a student was caught in the act of doing so, and was court-martialed. Said the Dean:
"Sir, the penalty for the first offense is one dollar; for the second two dollars; for the third five dollars, and so on."
"Sir," asked the culprit, "how much is a season ticket?" *,f,i
Good From Evil
On the occasion of every accident that befalls you, remember to turn to yourself and inquire what power you have for turning it to use.-Epictetus.

Youth: "Father, what is a traitor in politics?"
Father: "A traitor in politics, my son, is a man who leaves your party and goes over to the other."
Youth: "Then what is a man who leaves the other party and comes over to yours?"
Father: "A convert, my Bon."
