The Significant Present

A true Vagabond uses what he has, right where he is.

He insists upon having his Heaven NOW.

He knows that by thinking he creates for himself either Heaven or Hell, so he thinks creatively and joyously and liberates LOVE generally.

The man who immortalizes each moment knows in the truest sense what immortality IS.

So waste no time dreariring of the rich life you might live in some other age, or in some other part of the world in the present age.

TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE SIGNIFICANT PRESENT.

'Thomas Dreier.

A certain lumber firm that is rather infamous for its low salary methods to employees, and which employs a considerable number of men, prints the following on its salary receipts: "Your salary is your personal businpss, a confidential matter. and should not be discussed."

A new man, on sig4ing this receipt for the first time, added: "I won't mention it. I'mjust as much ashamed of it as you are."

MARY'S "LAMB''

Mary had a little iamb, His hair was white as snow: Poor Mary's lamb went broke at last, Cause Mary fleeced him so.

Is lying in your stack; You wonder when

You'll see the yen

It cost you, coming back. It never will, Believe me, Bill, Till after you are dead; Unless the stuff Is treated rough And built into a shed. It is n,o good, It's only wood With which your yard is filled; It isn't worth A cent on earth

Until it's used to build. It doesn't pay For you to say Bad words or to abuse it: A lot of tin

It will bring in

If you will rightly use it.

Some Pork

Customer-Say, have you got any good pork?

Butcher-Good pork ! Say, I've got some pork that will make better chicken salad than any lamb you ever bought."

A Friend

What is a friend?

I will tell you.

It is a person, with whom you dare to be yourself.

Your soul can go naked with him.

IIe seems to ask of you to put on nothing, only to be as you are.

He does not want you to be better or worse.

.When you are with him you feel as a prisoner feels who has been declared innocent.

You do not have to be on your guard. You can say as you think, so long as it is genuinely you.

He understands those contradictions in your nature that lead others to misjudge you. With him you breathe free.

You can avow your little vanities, and envies, and hates, and vicious sparks, your meanness and absurdities, and in opening them up to him they are lost, dissolved in the white ocean of his loyalty. He understands.

You do not have to be careful.

You can abuse him, neglect him, tolerate him.

Best of all, you can keep still with him; It makes no matter. He likes you.

He is like fire that purges all you do.

He is like water that cleanses all that you say.

He is like wine that warms you to the bone. He understands. He understands.

You can weep with him, laugh with him, sin with him, pray with him.

Through, and underneath it all he sees, knows, and loves you.

A friend, I repeat, is one with whom you dare to be yourself.-(Exchange).
