Finally he conquered Bonapart, came out of the strife and lived to be a very old man. Wellington, although very wealthy, lived exceedingly plain; on a camp bedstead and was in no way given to luxurious living. It is the lack "of temperance that makes human beings unhappy.

Which should be. first with us, our own private interests, or the common cause of humanity?. When viewed in a true light, neither need be neglected for the sake of the other; for they are so closely interwoven that they both terminate in the same thing. But unless we are vigilant and ever on the alert we are apt to neglect the very duty we should perform, to accomplish something else of less import, but which, at the moment appears to be of greater magnitude. A slvort time ago a sister came to mo to tell why she would hot be able to attend the Relief Society meeting that afternoon.
