We were greatly surprised to se such a Urge crowd oo such a stormy night, and not withstanding th in clemency of the weaihar uur play proved a success. We hop 'hat no one felt un paid for their trouble coming through the storm to attend th play. We are glad to say that there was no troiihl at Ihe dance after the play, hut everyone had a giMl time, and praised th music played by Scott's orchestra.

No. W!at Is Worth Whil.I Some of Ihe hardest to aiwvver, some of the most important, of all jet the dilMcult questions hat confrnLt an ear" nest young person, are these: What is really wcrth while? I am nearly thru school and have my life before me: what shall I do with it ? How can 1 live so that I may best serve my God, my fellowiuen, and my sell? These questions come, .or at least should (onie, to all. If they do not, it shows that something is the trouble, that there is a want ot earnest purpose, or a wrong ambition. Tt.ey should come and they sli mid I answered before the life work is decided upon.. We think of the people around us, and as they are mads; to pnHs in review bvlore our in ikI's eve, we wonder which one of litem is tlB most truly successful. There are millionaires, orators. s holnrs, aulli ors, musicians, inventors peo.de whose fame reaches round the woild There are business men. lawyers, preachers and teachers. Are we able to hoose a sin gle person whom we would lie willing to pattern our lives afler, and follow as our ideal? No, and yW have Ihev not suc ceeded? Who would say that the orator, who can move people by his eloquence, or the musician, who holds uud enoes spell Imiuiic), i a failure? (io with me to the palatial residence of ft.1 roesus, mid sf him as hi broods over his miie., thinking and worrying I about it un'il he cannot, slreo. Watch j his hie as he h i ir ls an I s. heaies lo a'.'.- j quire wealth. He accomplish- his sign, and dying leaves n vast fortune to Is) inherited by his children. Yes, he was rich, but was it worth while to spend his life in Iho accumulation of these riches? Yet this is the ambition of many young men. Listen to that I iwyer. How fluently he speaks. U uly to hear him is almost to he convinced that he is right. But aJas. too ttften he stands before a jury, pi-ailing for some villain, and peiiisps t u i in UK the life of some innocent srson. ; He lias studied hard and by application and attention lo ins chosen profession, he has made himself what he is. a bril liant, sell-conll.lent lawyer. But agaio, is Una success worth tlie effort il cost ? Tlran there is music, truly one of the greatest of blessings, but the mau who gives himself up to ' its study so com pletely that he forgets his duty to his fellow-beings, ami loses all interest in Um world, is not makii g Has best use of Ida talents. And so in all the walks Of life, we sac ; thoaa who have risen 'to positions of ' prominence and honor. They are lend -rs among men, and are respected for their integrity. They are successful in lib-. but it often happens that when they die, . " ....'. iney are ma mourneu mr very long, ... others toon (III their place. Now why is lids? I have seemed lo dissaprove of all pr(eions, and to attach to all pt)tess r .... . ions Hie black murk of failure.

GERLACH'S STORE- noble work of conducting hoi-pitals, she blessed, and was blessed by lonely and forsaken soldier. Her life work was worth while. Alfred the Great was a good king and anidiar, but lie was more than Ihese. He had the wellare of his jieoplfc at heart, and spent mucb time in translating tin: best works ol ibe best writers into Sax tou for tliein. He ruled so wisely and so well, that he was called the good King EJward. Anyone might be proud of such a title. Howtver. it i not always easy to be gorl. Jennie Liod, the Swedish nightin gale, whose sweet voic has stirred the souls of thousands, left the stage when her fame was at its height. She did it, because, she said, she could not be goiai on the stage. Thus she sacrificed fame aud fortune for goodness, aud aflei warl sang only for charity. A lawyer can do a service to mankind that no other man tii, if he will only stand on the side of justice. We could think of many men and women w hose names have been immort alized on ai count of tiieir &ood deeds. This is the kind of reputation it is worth w Inle s riving lo acquire. It matters not whether one is as rich as Dives, or as poor as LuZarus, whether he ba king or slave, educated or uneducated.- The only thing really worth having, is a simple, noble heart, with such love for our fellow meti. that we will do all the good we can. For, Tennyson says, liowe'er it be. It seems to me, Tis only noble lo Is? good. Kind hearts are more than coronets, And simple f.U't:, than Norman blood." Every ne is endowed with some espe cial talent, and sin. e I !.. gills are Goil given, it is right, it. is our dutv, to (le velop t.1 i lo Ihe highest c xcellei.ee lo which we can attain. If your gilt is a faculty for making money, do it. You can do endless good with your wealth If it is a tab nl for music, develop it. but do not be selfish in your success. What ever y our gift is, use it. As the tool that is idle lecomes rnslv and dull, just so the uncultivated gift may he lost. Those ol us ho are not famous, need not be discouraged, nor think we can do no good in the world. Not til of us can be groat. Very few can lw brilliant in their studies at school, hut we can all be good. After all, goodness is the only thing woilh while, for we cannot have this quality unless we do right. We i annul do right, unless we develop and use our uil'-t-lo the best, of our ability. ( ' of honor must not depreciate his trust. Lei us all strive so to live that when death calls us, some little corner on earth wiil be guilder Mid emptier, be cause we are not there. "If I can live. To make some pale face brighter, and give A second lustre to some lear-dimmed eye, Or e'en impart j One throb of comfort to an aching heart. Or cheer some wav worn soul lu passing by; If I can lend A strong lo the fallen, or defend The right against a single envious strain, Mv life, tho bare, Perhnpsof much that seemeth dear and fair To us on earth, will not have been in Vain."
