The Lexington Record, 1891-05-01

There is a Christian household in this city who give a tenth of all they make to the Lord. The father, the sons and daughters work, and it is said of them that this rule holds good even down to the little one who has but ten cents, yet gives a penny of it away. Shall this righteous man ever be forsaken, or his seed beg begging - ging begging bread? New Subscribers.

The Best Time To work, while you can; to sow wild oats, never; to sing, when you feel like it; to laugh, is when you can afford to. The best time to think is before you act; to take care of your health is before you lose it; to make a good resolution is when you in intend - tend intend to keep it; to judge another is when you are in the same predicament. The best time to stop your meauhess is before you commence.

The old ballad says, "Spring would be but gloomy weather if we had nothing else but spring.'' Yet what is brighter than the sunshine of an ever -cheerful spirit ? Who more blest than the giver of pleasant words and kindlv, looks? Not the insipid inanities of an existence without an object of a nature too indo indolent - lent indolent to get ruffled. Not this, but the influence of a strong individ individ-uality - uality individ-uality diffusing itself among others, and gilding the passing hour with a genial glow. A mother of many daughters was wont to say, "Girls, cultivate cheerfulness; it will stand you in hand through all your life." I A wise father s injunction was, "Kind words cost nothing; do not grudge them, especially to vour social inferiors." Again, " Take the world as you find it ; you cannot mould people to suit your ideas. Give them credit for meaning as well as you do." An unerring test of a voting girl's choice of books is to read nothing that she would blush to read aloud to a gentleman friend. The hero of "The Initials" is made to give this advice to Hil Hil-degarde. - degarde. Hil-degarde. Just so in our social commingling it were well if we did not ever say of another what we would leave unsaid were that other within earshot. Be cheer cheerful - ful cheerful and you will never feel cross. Before the mighty power of a happy, buoyant spirit fly the le legions - gions legions of envy, hatred and malice and all uncharitableness. The shining sun of the heavens dis dispels - pels dispels the miasma of the marshy vallics. The sun of cheerfulness scatters the mists that lie deep down in the dnrlroiipd rnl rf discontent and unrest. '
