which We commend to the afflicted.
There is a class of men in every commun
= ~ who 20 about with vinegar faces, because
somebody feels above them, or because they
arc not appreciated as they should be, and
who have constant quarrel with what they
cal their destiny. We hate such people They
are q nuisance and pest. They make all
within heir influence uncomfortable. These
men have usually made a grave mistake in the
estimate of their abilities, or are unmigated
asses. Wherever this fault finding with ones
condition or position occurs, there is always a
want Of selfrespect. If you are right down
clever fellow, wash the wormwood of your
face and show your good will by your good
deeds, Then if people ''feel above you, why
return the compliment and feel above them
If they turn up their noses because you are
a mechanic, or farmer or a shop boy, turn
up your nose notch higher. If they swell
when they pass you in the street, swell your
self Deliver us from the whining fools who
60 around like babies telling how people abuse
them and whining because society does not
take them by the collar and drag them into
deeency."
The Staunton (Va.) Vindicator states that
pair 81 determined lovers, of Augusta county,
left home few days ago to have their olives,
their fottunes, and their sacred honor" united
In the holy bands Poor in every thing but
love, and their papa's and mammals opposing
their union, they started for ga free State,'
and they walked arm in arm from Staunton to
Winchester, distance Of 96 miles. Here
they took the railroad cars for Harper's Fer
ry, q distance of 22 miles, to the end Of their
lovely journey. When they landed at their
destination, the doting groom, after showing
his arms up to the elbows in his breeches
pockets, found he hadn't the dimes to pay the
piper In this dilemma, like cool spring in
a parching desert, there appeared some gen
crous, phllanthroplc men, to rescue the loving
twain from that brink of woe on which they
were rerging. A pony purse was gotten up,
sufficient to do the deed, and strike bow of
promise athwart the souls where then rested
cloud Of despair The knot was tied, the par
son was paid, and the happy pair, with JOY and
gIadness radiating their countenances, COM
meneed a foot their return journey. Truly
this was marrying for love.
Why Sarah remarked a schoolmaster to a
young girl, who had failed to give satisfac

This puts us in mind of an examination
which came off in one of the back settlements
mot long since. The schoolmaster was inter-
rogating the children in relation to geography,
when the question was put-'Does the sun
rise lnEhe east or west?' A little girl spoke
up promptly and said, 4 can't tell, I never

Of disunion, the celebrated Fisher Ames
once said: I wish it was part ofthe catechism
to teach youth that it cannot be. An English
man thinks he can beat two Frenchmen. II
