II anything in the world will make man
feel badly, except pinching bis fingers in
the crack of door, 1t is unquestionably a
quarrel No man ever fails to think less of
himself after it than before. 1t degrades
him in the eyes of others, and, what is
worse, blunts his sensibilities on the one
hand and increases the power of passionate
irritability on the other.-The truth is the
more peaceably and quietly we get on, the
better for our neighbors In nine cases out
OF ten, the better course Is. If a man cheats
you, quit dealing with him T; if he is abusive
quit his company; and If he SANDERS YOU,
take care to live so that nobody will believe
him. No matter who he is, or how he mis-
uses you, the wiseSt way is to let him alone;
for there is nothing better this COOL calm,
and quiet way of (lealing with the wrongs
we meet him. M

How About PROVIDENCE NOysl

When Andrew johnson succeeded to the
Presidency by reason Of the assassination of
President Lincoln, a certain class of politi-
clans professed to recognize in it the hand
of Providence They thought that Andrew
johnson, as President, would visit crushing
vengeance upon the Southern people, They
appeared to have an idea that Providence is
as bloodthirsty and vindistive as a Hndoo
deity Now, that President johnson con-
ducts his administration somewhat in ac-
cordauce with the teachings of Christianity,
we should like to know what they think of
Providence.
