HE w CRST w HEELS MAKES THE
MOST NOISE Never was maxim truel
than this. Look at that woman, who
IS always using hard words, who looks
upon the gayeties of society with al
distracted air, and wonders that any
body, who has any mind, can fix theil
attention upon triAing games and friv.
olous conversation. Depend upon it
she would not need to act this farce
if she had real intelligence and infor-
nation. She is 'the worst wheel il
the carriage and she makes the most
noise
Look at that benevolent bustler,
with his eternal scheme, all excel
lence for the poor Thousands, Of
whom you will never hear, do more
good than he. He is the nolsiest
Wheel
Look at the politician, whose days
and nights are consumed in an1iou,
cares for the good of 'the people,' the
dear people, the injured people, >
whose tongue is worn thin with the
abuse os the arlstocracy, and warnings
against their inonstrous thisrt of pow
er. Have an eye to that mamie will
play the tyrant where he can-his de
mocracy is all put on. He is 'the
very worst wheel in the carriage
Look at the lover, kneeling, and
sighirg, and flattering, his eternal con-
stancy will last but few months. He
too IS "a noisy Wheel
See the rehgionlst, for whom even
the Old Testament is not sufficiently
holy reading, who is always telling the
wonderful state Of his own mind, for
the good Of others, whose sleep is dis
rurbed qy the idea that ships sail on
Sunday. What do you think that man
is, when the eye of the world is not
on him : The worst wheel in the car
riage makes the most noise.'
Be not too eager to help those who
come to you with highly colored pic
lures of distress, and loud complaints
Of discouraged industry. The most viz
tuous among the poor stay at home
and silently struggle with their power
ty, so long as it can be struggled with.
The worst wheels are ever the noisiest.
Look suspiciously upon those publi-
cations, that are continually bolsting 9
of unparalleled success immense num-
Der of subscribers of being eagerly
sought for by all classes OF people -
Really good publications do not need
such practices. If the regiment were
all collected. they would not sound the
trumpet SO loudly. The worst wheel
is the noisiest, simply because it is the
worst.
Observe that lady, who is so eager
in pursuit OF the fashions, that her SER
want must run with his band box, lest
fashion should outspeed him. She
cannot endure the sight of vulgarity
and tells you she thinks it extremely
uulady- like to know what one is tohave
for dinner. She uses cologne at the
mention of mechanic, and apologies
to you again and again for havsng any
questionable dressed person of merit
in her rooms Why does she talk so
much about gentility and rank2 Her
father was brick-layer and her hus-
band was once IL mason. She Is a fool
herself, and therefore she supposes
others to be 70 Is. The worst wheels
are always the noisiest.'
Lastly, do not judge of a carriage
by Its noisiest wheel. All the lntelli-
gent should not be judged of by the
pedant, all republicans ought not to be
classed with the demagogne, every
religion'st is not hypocrite, and a
few proud and silly women must not
condemn the whole world of fssbion.-
When you hear very noisy wheel,
remember it is the worst wheel.
