CHOICE VARIETY.

DISCRETION Of speech is better than
eloquence.
No condition is uufavorable to virtue,
where virtue is.
Council that iavors our desires needs
careful watching.
APPREHENsIoS OF evil is oft,imes worse
than the evil itself.
He who ,urns from evil habits does
himself good turn.
THE good man is jus. in little things,
the wicked man is liuIe in great ones.
KISDNEss is language which the
dumb eAU speak and the deaf understand.
Qua manner is thing OF importance !;
hlnd no is often more agreeable than Il
rough yes.
THE busybodv labors without thanks,
talks withou, credit, lives without love,
and dies wirhont tears.
IT would be well il we had less medi.
cine and more cures less profession and
more peiy less law and more justice.
The peasantest things in the world are
pleasant thoughts and the greatest art
ir lite is to have AS many Of them az pos.
sible.
ARISTOTLE was asked what are the ad
vanlages oil learning. lie replied. it is an
ornament TO man in prosperity, and a
refuge in adversely.
The earth was made and adorned for
lile of joy as well AS sorrow-n was no,

THE man who is careful Of his own rep
uta ion will be careful oi his neighbor's s
The man who thoughilessly speaks i'll o
another. is reckless Of his own good name
Qua customs and habits are like the rut
in roads. The wheels of lite settle in;C
them; and we jog along through the mirt
because il is too much trouble 10 get ouI
oil them.
THE triumph Of woman lies not in the
admiration OF her lover, but in the respect
OF her husband ; and that can only be
gained bv a constant cultivation Of those
qualities which she knows he most values
MAN is a glorious poem ; each life a

Pensions to Volunteers.

Our brave volunteers should know that
in case they are dlssbIed or killed while IL
service, their families will not want Tor
bread. Already. the families OF many OF
those who tell VI Bull Run are ia receipt OF
pensions from tho Government By section
\. of tho law passed July /, 1886 soldiers oi
the volunteer or militia service. and the
widows Of soldiers dying in battle or from
wounds or disease incurred while in service
are entitled TO The (pR benefit of tho invalid
pension laws. Volunteers for more than
six months are especially provided for by
an act passed at the las, session ot Congress.
The wounded soldier receives an annual al'
lowance proporti0nate To his disability. 1t
totally incapucirated for labor, he receives
the paw Of a soldier ia service; il partially
disabled. u propOrtiOnate pension. graduated
according TO tho certificate Of the Cxamin
ing surgeon. Widows OF officers and sold
iers get one half tho pay which their hus-
bands received. II no widows survive. then
tho pension Is paid to the children, it any.
until they arrive at tho age of sixteen years
