SMALL TALK.

Nobody abuses small talk unless he be
stranger to its convenience. Small talk
is the small change oflife; there is no get
ting on without it. There are times
when 'tis folly to be WISE when gravity
and sedateness ought to be kicked down
stairs. A philosopher cuts poor figure
in ball room, unless he leaves his phil
o,ophy at home. Metaphysics are instru-
ments in the midst of agreeable prattle,
"a deaths head on festal Board. We
have met with men who were too lofty
for small talk--wbo would never indulge
in complaints as to servants, nor discuss
the state of the weather. They were a.
bore such trifing; in other words they
were above making themselves agreeable,
above pleasing, and above being pleased.
They were all wisdom, all gravity, all
dignity. and all tediousness and serious
ness, which they bestowed upon eonpa-
ny with more than Dogberry's noble gen
crosby. A man who cannot talk has no
more business in society than statue
The world is made up of trifes, and he
who can trihe elegantly and gracefully, is
avaluable acquisition to mankind. He is
a Corinthian column in the fabric of Soc
ietv.

DOMESTIC NECESSITY.

Every house should have rs an in
mate, good natured, tidy, sensible old
lady. This important fixture should al
ways be, if possible, a grandmother, or
rs next best, an aunt; yes, SO indlspensl-
bic to the responsibility, comfort and con-
venience of well regulated household is
the old lady, that if this system Of house
keeping become general, 1t will become
quite natural to find, under tho head of
wants, in newspapers, inquiries for prop
or oil ladies to supply the lack of dear old
folks gone to the better home, Indeed,
old ladies, discovering themselves in de-
mand, would keep in preservation much
longer, nor begin to make winding sheets
and grave caps full ten years before the
great reaper come to gather in the shocks
of corn fully ripe. Old ladies are wanted.
Providence designed such 70 fill a large
space in the domestic eircle--a class re-
markable rs living not for themselves but
for others--the most beautiful specimens
of disintereated love this side of beay-
ell.

A GOLDEN THOUGHT.

Mature will be reported All things

w WHINING.

There is a class of persons in this world
by no means small, whose rrominens
popularity is whining. They whine be-
cause they arc afraid il is too shiny;
they whine because they have no luck.
aud others prosperity exceeds theirs 'they
whire because some friends have died and
they arc still living; they whine because
they have aches and pains; they whine,
no one can tell why. Now, would like
to say word to these whining pen
sons.
Stop whining. 1t is of no use, this
everlasting complaining, fretting, scold-
ing, fauting, fauit-6ndiug and whin-
Ing. Why, you are the most delude4
set of creatures that ever lived. Did yen
not know that it is a well settled principle
of physiology and common sense that
these habits are moro exhaustive of ner-
vous vitality than almost any other viola
ton physiological lava And do you
not know that life is pretty much as you
take it and makeit1 You can make it
bright, sunshiny,o or You can make it dark,
shadowy. This life is meant only to be
disciplinary-to fit us for a higher and
purer state of being. Then stop whining
and fretting, and go on your way rejoic-
ing
You are miserable, nervous, dyspeptic,
in wrong relation to yonrselfand oil Gods
universe, and that's all that nils you.-
Then stop short, take up the song of life
and leave off forever that whine Of
death!
"A merry heart doeth good like med
icine; but broken spirit drieth up the
bones Live simply, cheerfully, trust
ingly, and by-and-by your troubles twill
take to themselves wings and fly away
You will gradually grow more snd moro
into harmony with the natural order Of
things, and the bright light OF heaven
will shine pleasantly down into your
souls and babtize them into new
life.

BEAUTIFUL PAE PHI

The following lines are taken from Sir
Humphrey Days Salamonia:
4 envy no quality of the mind orintel-
lect in others-be it genius, power, wit,
fancy-but if could choose what would
be the most delightful, and 1 believe most
useful to me, / should prefer firm relig-
ious beliefto any other blessing; for it
makes life a discipline of goodness breath
es new hope, varnishes and throws orer
the decay, the destruction of existence, the
most gorgeous of all light; awakens life
even in death, and for corruption and de-
cay calls up to beauty and divinity;
makes an instrument of torture the ladder
of ascent to paradise; and far above oh
combination of earthly hopes, calls up the
most delightful visions of pains and am
arantbs, the gardens of the best and the
security Of everlasting joys, where the
sensualist and skeptic view only gloom,
decay, humiliation snd despair 30

OUR SUNDAY SERMON.

We find the following excellent homlly
on Honesty in an exchange:
"All true success in life must be based
upon honest dealing with cur fellow
men. We all need friendship, love and
sympathy. Life without these, is misery
indeed. A man in any neighhorhood
known to be devoid of common honesty
is Stunned as an enemy to his race and
an outcast from respectable society.
Like freebooter of the seas, he is
hiss and byword in every well-ordered
community. Honest men look upon him
as putrescence on the body polite
His countenance betokens a downcast
despicable wretch. The frowns Of Heav-
en- rest upon him. His doom is to sutf-
or regret, remorsa and shame.
