PROVERBS.

Here is one of the most admirable
of the Chinese proverbs: HTie not thy
shoe in a field Of melons, nor adjust
thy cap under a plum tree" We re-
member a time in our earlier days,
when we would have vastly profted by
this proverb in the following form :
'.Pick not up chestnuts from thy neigh
boris tree, or he viii surely set his dog
upon thee"
Both the following proverbs. look out
steadfastly for ''number one': 'Eyery
man draws the water to his own mill. !"
"Bettera grape for me than two figs
for thee"
Idle speculation for the future, with
out endeavor in the present, have this
fruition: "He that builds castles in the
air shall soon have no land" Such a
faith in the future, however, as is inn
piled in another proverb, is noble and
generous: "He that plants trees, loves
others besides himself" Who has
ever passed through Northampton and
seen the stately elms planted more than
a century ago by Jonathan Edwards,
without feeling that man who provides
for the summer shade of other genera
tions, is a true lover of mankind?
The number of proverbs which recog-
nize the existence and power of the
Creator, and the workings of Divine
Providence, is remarkable. They are
to be foundnot only in the Scriptures,
but out of them. It is current say
ing, "No' leaf moves but God wills it. ("
The Scriptures similarly declare that
not a sparrow falls to the ground with
out the notice of our Heavenly Father,
and that the hairs of our head are
numbered.

everything--distinguished by frantic

tiness that was SO attractive, before.
He is a father for the first time, and
the little tiny, whining cherub is at
home in embroidered muslin; and the
baby-yes, the baby-is as fat as
butter, and weighs six pounds and a
quarter. An intellectual baby, too
well red. Think of that! Six pounds
and quarter, and boy at that! Bless
his little chubby soul! What projects
are running in that mans brain in
regard to the newcomer. What a
long way in the future he is gazing
after destiny, and he sees nothing less
than a governor, and mayhap presi-
dent, in the little chubby boy at home.

TESTING MARBLEs.-There is aToom
In the Smithsonian Institute building,
at Washington, where marbles are
scientifically tested. Specimens from
all parts of the world may be seen
there, cut into squares and tubes. To
prove their strength they are tested in
a acrushing machine, alsoby acids, water,
drying, etc. The scales to weigh the
crystals in are so delicate that ten
thousand of it's smallest weights are
required to make an ounce The index
tablet, also, a curious instrument for
telling the weight, is SO fine that its
movements has to be examined by a
very powerful telescope, to discover
the variations.

SEVEN FooLs.-The angry man
who sets his own house on fire, in order
that he may burn his neighbor's. The
envious man-Who cannot enjoy life
because others do. The robber-who,
for the consideration of a few dollars,
gives the world liberty to hang him.
The hypOchondriac-whose highest
happiness consists in rendering him
self miserable. The jealous man
who poisons his own banquet, and then
eats of it. The miser--who starve:
himself to death, in order that his heil
may feast. The slanderer-who tell:
tales, for the sake of giving his enemy
an opportunity to prove him liar.

Apartments are advertised as for

establishment of a wrecked dandy,
and it formed the last of what was,
some ten years ago, an ample fortune.
AS matter of course, there was a

them, there we're a great many other

just in possession of themselves and
their estates. NJ. Engene Guinot says

a .TRusTING CusT0MER.. !

That certainly is a strong example
of trusting customer" which we
find recorded in late Scottish journal.
The story runs as follows:
GA week or two since a decently
dressed elderly man called at the shop
of our townsmai, Mr.. Muirhead, iewe-
Ter and Matchmaker, Buchanan street,
and quietly asked.
''Is my watch ready?"
GAS Mr.. Muirhead had at the mo-
ment no remembrance of having done
any business with the man, he asked
him in turn:
"When did you LeaUe your watch?"
"Oh," said the other, II didn't leave
it in this shop, for ye were owre by in
Nelson street when ye got it."
"That must have been a long time
ago, then,'' said Mr.. Muirhead; 'sfor
we left Nelson street in 1888. That
is seventeen years. since"
"But Ileft it with ye, for a. that" "
"What was the name and number of
the watch?'
''These were described to nicety;
and on opening the repository, it was
found safe and sound! Exactly tacenty-
teOo yearshad passed away since Duncan
had handed it in forrepair yethe called
for it at the end of thatperiod as coolly
as if he had only left it the preceding

"Why have you not called for your

JoINT LITERARY LABoR.-When the
committee of the French Academy
were employed in preparing the we'll
known academy dictionary, Cuvier, the
celebrated naturalist, came one day
into the room where they were holding
session. "Glad to see YOU. M.
Cuvier,' said one of the forty, "we
have just finished definition On which
We should like to have your opinion.
We have been defining the word crab,
and have explained it thus: sCrab, a
small, red fish, that only walks back
wards" "Perfect, gentleman" said
CuYier, "only, if you viii give me
leave, / viii make one observation in
natural history. The crab is not a
fish, it is not red, and it does not walk
backwards: with these exceptions, youl
