Sentence Sermons. Habit is our heaven or our hell The heartless are spirituall homeless. Love of the law finds liberty ii the law. The way to keep friends is t keep faith. The heaviest chains are mad from liberties abused. The sleeping church alway awakes to shame. Scratch a chronic critic and yo find a hypocrite. He cannot move hearts whos- heart cannot be moved. A moonshiny religion doc not make a sunshiny world. He who must be goaded to d right is going to do wrong. A worthy life is impossb ! without a worthy motive. The worst punishment of si is that one learns to love it.

The carnation of Shakespeare's day must have had cry short stems , for they grew out of doors. How the llorialn of thosu lays treated the plants to obtain jlooins of such size nobody knows , 'or ' old-time florists grew flowers iu- tend of writing books about them ; o all we know is that , they had very arge carnations in Queen ISlizu- ictb's time , without knowing how hey Mere grown.

Once I met a silk bat , probably res- sued from some benevolent dust bin , nilking n cow in a London park. I'lii ! luit nearly caused a riot ; each mil every passerby turned and Mared indignantly. The eccentric cowboy in the top hat finished his illottcd task , and in company of bis cow and the milk pail be ambled placidly out of sight. .Still , one can't help asking , in the interest of personal liberty , why shouldn't a silk bat lie permitted to milk a cow ?
