Than the smiles of power and might:
Yes, wen stand for TRUTH forever,
Yielding to the fOeman never.
Proverbs FROM THE OLDEN TINE II
Think Of ease, but work on.
Manners often makes fortunes
Forgive any sooner than thysef
The table robs more than the thief
Better go about than to fall into the ditch
Youth and white paper take any impress
sion
Who looks not before, finds himself be-
hind.
A man Of gladness seldom falls into mad
ness. .I
Children and chickens must be always
picking.
Husbands are in heaven whose wives
chide not.
Better to go to bed supporloss than to rise
in debt -.
The mill cannot grind with the water that
is past
They must hunger in frost that will not
work in heat
He that hath love in his heart hath spurs
in his sides
He that serves well need not be afraid to
ask his wages.
Marry your sons when you will, your
daughters when you can.
When the tree is fallen, every man goeth
to it with his Ratchet.
He may we'll be contented who needs nei-
ther borrow nor fatter
The best physicians are DR., Diet, DR..
Quiet, and DR., Merryman.
All women are good; 4. e., good for
something or good for nothing
He who hath but one hog makes him fat;
and he who hath but one son makes him a
fool.
A FRANK ADMISSION Billy Ross is a
great temperance lecturer, and at Rushville,
Illinois, was preaching to the young upon
his favorite theme He said :
Now, boys, when l ask you a question
you must not be afraid to speak right out
and answer it. When you look around and
see all these fine houses, farms and cattle,
do you ever think who owns them all now
Your fathers own them, do they not?'
Eyes, sir ? shouted hundred voices
well, where will your fathers be in
twenty years from now ?
Dead 7 shouted the urchins.
That's right. And who will own all this
property then I?
us boys shouted the urchins.
Right. Now tell me-did you ever, in
going through the streets, notice the drunk
ards lounging around the saloon doors wait
ing for somebody to treat them 2
Yes, sir, lots of them
well, where will they be twenty years
from now?
Dead ? exclaimed the boys.
'And who will be the drunkards, then ?
us BoysW
Billy was thunderstruck for a moment !;
but recovering himself, tried to tell the boys
how to escape such fate.
The Dean of Canterbury has been en-
deayoring to settle the proper terms in
which, for example, we should address a
note to the ladies of the same family and
name. He says:
(Which Of these two was right-the
Misses Brown or the Miss Browns? For
the former it may be said that Brown is the
name of the whole species, and that the
young ladies, being individuals of that spe-
cies, are Misses; for the latter, that each Of
the young ladies being Miss Brown, the
whole taken together, or any two or more,
are Miss Browns. So that either way is JUS
tifable. Usage is all but universal in favor
Of the latter in conv nversatiou. We say we
met the Miss Browns, not the Misses Brown.
But we can hardly justify this, our colloqui-
al practice, if we bring in Mrs. Brown, and
say we met Mrs. and the Miss Browns. For,
by enumerating thus first the individuals,
and then the species, we bind ourselves to
the former way of spelling. The sentence,
as [ have last given it, is inaccurate; be-
cause it really says that we met Mrs. and
the Miss Browns; 4. e., one Mrs and one
celebrated Miss, rejoicing in the name of,
not Brown, but Browns If we had wished
to keep to the ordinary colloquial usage in
this case, also, we ought to have said that
we met Mrs, Brown and the Miss Browns,
