Those who die young are like the lambs
which the Alpine shepherds bear in their arms
to higher, greener pastures that the hocks
may follow them.
An English writer says, in his advice to
Young married women, that their mother
Eve married a gardener. 1t might be added
that the gardener, in consequence of his match
lost his situation.
Wind up your conduct like watch every
day, examining minutely whether you are fast
or slow,
Every man that is capable of doing a secret
injury is coward.
Tell me with whom thou goest, and l will
tell thee what thou doest.

Two persons of different religious views
having got into CONTROVERSY, it waxed
warm at first and then furious until one of
the twain roared out in a tone. "Who are
YOU! "I'm Christian, you ID old hea-
then" was the reply, which was considered
the "argumentum ad hominy," and closed
the discussion.

An English maiden had novel reason
for refusing to stand in the Scripture rea-
lation of one who sought her hand. He
was in all respects eligible, except that he
was vegetarian; when he proposed this

and off she bounced, leaving him struck up.
We have heard good many touching ex-
pressons of filial affection, but none equal
the following to which a western man really
gave vent to not long since: MY father was
the only man | ever allowed to be sassy to
me without licking him like thunder
Gin. Gazette.
The pathos of this expression is hardly
comparable to that of the Irshman, who,
brushing tear from his eye at the memory
OF his youngest son, said in sobs; Jenny

USE OF FLANNEL.-The suggestion
in the following article from the Scien-
tifc American, if followed, might save
many with consumptive tendencies from
an early grave:
Put it on at once. Winter and sum-
mer, nothing better can be worn next
the skin than a loose red woollen shirt !;
" loose" for it has room to move on
the skin, this causing a little Utilization
which draws the blood to the surface
and keeps it there; and when that is
the case no one can take cold; g red, :"
for white flannel fills up, mats together,
and becomes tight, stiff, heavy and i'm
pervious. Cotton wool merely absorbs
the moisture from the surface, while
woollen flannel conveys it from the skin
and deposits it in drops on the outside
of the shirt, from which the ordinary
cotton shirt absorbs it, and by its near
er exposure to the air it is soon dried
without injury to the body. Having
these properties, red woollen-hannel is
worn by sailors even in the midsummer
of the hottest countries. Wear thin
ner material in summer.
