Pn0F1TING BY THE DEAD.-Out upon the vile and
sor1id matters blighting this beautiful this liberal
! world, that selt-promotion should ever be sought
upon the collin-pates of our neighbors
LONDON OUT OF SEASON is for all the world like
hne lady in an undress gown, with all her paint
wiped off. f1
! SoLDLERs.-Looked at rs they ought to be. they
are to the world but as poppies to corn-felds.
PATIENCE.-Patience is the strongest of strong
| drinks, for it kills the giant Despair
:; RlsH3r 3i IhILroI@TS-What IT'S lawyer was spoiled
IN IN that bishop! What brain he has for cobwebsl
How he drags you along through sentence after
sentence-every one dark passage-unt your
head swms, and you can't see your finger close to
your nose!
The Cur OF PATTENCE.-What a goblet 1t is set
round with diamonds from the mines of Eden: it is
carved by angelic hands, and filled at the eternal
fount OF goodness.
EXETER HALL.-What blessing is Exeter Hall,
What saiety-vave it is for the patriotism and in
dgnatlon, and scon and hatred-and all other sorts
OF pubic vlrtues-that but for it such place
would fairly burst so many excellent folks if they
couldn't go and relieve their swelling souls with a
bit OF talk! As it is, they spccchify and saved!
AN EXCEPTION To A RULE.-Whenever a man eN-
he contcmplates an instant offer of himself
naTtinn
TmE FAMILY OF SrAND-STrIL.-Inere-s Il sort of
people in the world that can't bear making any pro
gress. wonder they ever walk. unless they walk
backwards! wonder they don't refuse to 90 out
when there's new moon; and all out of love and
respect for that ancent institution"-the old one
A WORD WITH BEGGAR ON IlORSERACK.-When a
man gets to the top of the hill by honesty he de-
serves to be taken by the neck and hurled down
! again, IT he's ashamed to turn about and look at
| the lowly road along which he once travelled
| THEATRICAL ''STARs."-I know Il pork-butchcr
who gave it out that he attcned all his pigs upon
! pne-appes; he sold them for what price he liked
and people, having bought the pigs, swore they
could taste the pineapple flavor. It's much the
same with many of the 'stars managers have only
to declare that they give cm ten, twenty or fifty
pounds night and the sagacious public proper
ton their admiration to the salary received.
A RAILWAY SPECULATOR.-lle had as many lines
in his face as there are lines laid down. Every one
OF his features seemed cut up and all seemed tray
cling from one another. Six months since he hadn't
wrinkle and now his face was like the map of
England.
The NATIONAL GALLERY-Corner Cupboard Hall.
tenement known by courtesy as the National Gal
lcry!
Nor so BAD AS SHE SEEMs.-We SANDER Fortune;
because the wise and bountul creature will not let
us at all times and in all places have our wicked will
of her; like unprincipled rakcs, we take poor re-
venge by calling her naughty names.
RAPID FoRrUYEs.-Fortunes made in no time are
8 i
hang long together.
MANS BLINDNEss-What a mole-evcd thing is
man! How he crucites himself with vain thoughts
how he stands upon tiptoe, stranng his eve
strings, trying to look into the future when at that
moment the play is over-the show is done.
NOBILITY IN SUFFERGNG.-NObly suffered, inju-
ries undescrved do sit as graces
BEAUTY's ALLOY.--Every has its thorn; You
! never find a woman without pins and needless
POvEGTY's DAETs.-Of all the arrows shot at our
miserable nature is there one that is not made the
keener if whetted on the poor mans hearth
OUTWARD SIGNs-The names of houses are for
| the world outside. When folks read "Rose Cot
tage" on the wall, they seldom think of the lots of
! thorns that are inside.
POsr-MORrEM EEwARDs.-It'sa great comfort to
! great men, who, when in this world. are thought
| very small indeed, to think how big they'll be
upon earth, after they've gone to heaven-a comfort
for'em when they may happen to want a coat, to
! think of the suit Of bronze or marble that kings
! and queens will afterwards give cm
DEATH-Death is slow paymaster but the
surcSt.
'Ir WILL DO You NO Goon."-How often is this
belief the barren satisfaction of hungry virtue How
/ often does furnishing innocence watching the wick
ed feeders Of the worldthc gorbclIicd varlets with
| mouths greasy with the goods of cheated worth
| find comfort in the belief that it will do them no
good! Lean virtue shakes the head and cries, ''It
will do YOU good and rapine still keeps greasy
in the face, still grows ga finger on the ribs"
/ BTIIARD-BAILS.-I have seen mountains of can
non balls, to be shot away at churches, and into
peoples peaceful habitations, breaking the china
and nobody knows what; but there's not one of 'em
thinks the illused wiiel do half the mischief
of Il biliardball. That's ball that's gone through
many wie's heart, to say nothing of her children
When once man is given to playing billiards, the
devils always tempting him with ball as he tempt
ed Eve with an apple.
THE STRUGGLES or GENUs.-There is a golden
volume yet to be written on the first struggles of
tOrlOrn genius in London magnificent, miserable
ennobling, degrading London. If all who have
suffered would confess their sulerings-would show
themselves in the stark shivering Squalor in which
! they first walked her streets-would paint the
wounds which first bled in her garrets-what book
| might be placed in the hands of pride! what stern
wholesome rebukes for the selfish sons of fortune I!
what sustaining sweetness for the faint of spirit
How often should we find the lOwy comforting the
! high-the Ignorant giving lessons to thcaccOmplsh-
ed-the poor of earth aiding and sustaining the
4 richly y-endowed!
/ GREAT Tunes FROM SMALL.-A learned philoso-
pher at the cost of some words, sets forth the
ful lesson he acquired through "'an augmenting-
glass, or microscope" showing how a certain vest
animal, 'setting himself to wrestlc with flea, was
| so incensed that his blood ran down from head to
/ foot, and from foot to head aranP' True philoso-
| pher! who from the chickering's of small despised
animals, extracts bitter wisdom, learns surer self
government, than the unthinking million carry from
dOg-fght, yea from bull-baitl
UNION Is SrRENGTH.-When some women get talk
ing, they club all their husbands faults together
just children club their cakes and apples to make
a common feast for the whole set
/ SOMETHING TO I0vE.-Thc human heart has of
course its pointing fits; it determines to live alone;
to flee into desert places; to have employment,
that is, to love nothing; but to keep on suenly
beating, beating, beating, until death laws his little
finger on the sulky thing, and all is still. 1t goes
away from the world, and straightway, shut from
. human company it falls in love with plant, a
stoneyea, it dandles cat dog, and calls the
ture darling. Yes, it is the beautiful necessity of
our nature to love something.
The OLDEST lNHABITANT.-There is something sol
emn in the oldest nhabitant: he is the link between
the dead and the living: in the course of nature the
nextto be called from among us; his place immediate
ly supplied by second brother. Generations have
gone, passed into the far world, and left him here
their solitary spOkesman-the witness of the
wonders that had birth among them. He remains
here to check the vanity of the present by his test
mony to the past. Where would be all human ex-
pcricnce without the oldest inhabitant?
/ THE PERMS OF FAUTHORSHIP.-BOoks! their worth
is matter of fancy say of weakness, to the weaker
part of mankind; they have no standard value none
at their birth. Hence the unknown maker of Il
/ book speak especially of the time when | first
sinncd in inks sort of gipsy in the social scale
picturesque vagabOnd, who somehow or the other
contrives to live the sunny side of the statutes;
but is nevertheless vehemently suspected of all
sorts Of larceny by respectable householders.
