u good tello,c's mobody's enemy but

matter of wonderment to me how
many phrases do come to be received
as current coin in the world, which
for certain were never lawfully stamp
ed in the mint either of religion or
reason. And among these brass quar-
ters of society know none that bet
ter deserveth to be nailed to the coun-
ter than the one above placed; for
many an idle young man hath before
now found it the last in his pocket,
and haply hath changed it for pistol
bullet, thinking himself gamer by
the bargain. If man grew to . rock
like limpet then haply might he be
his own enemy without any great
harm to his neighbors; but no man
living in society "liveth to himself" SO
to speak. He who is delivered over
to the vice of drunkenness-for such
being interpreted is the meaning of
a good fellow, who is his own enemy
-setteth bad example to his de-
pendants, squandereth his fortune On
unworthy objects to the neglect of all
that he might and ought to have done
for good ones; plungeth his family In
to difficulties; grieveth, shameth, per-
haps starveth them; ruineth his health,
so as to be a burden to others; and,
finally, having been bad citizen, a
bad master, bad husband, bad
father, he sinketh into the grave with
soul so debauched as to seem more
fit to rot with its putrefying companion,
than to enter any region of spiritual
existence. And this man who hath
fulfilled no one duty, but on the con-
trary hath spread around him q dark
atmosphere Of sin, is called "a good
fellow" merely because he hath done
all this with an air of reckless gayety,
which showed an absence of any feel
ing for the beings he was rendering
miserable! Verify the worlds meas

DEAD Folks DoN'T SUE.-Artemus

California, says: "The driver with

we slowly rolled down the fearful

that he has met accidents in his time

A shoemaker in Paris had haen

A shoemaker in Paris had been en-
ticed by rumSeller to run a score,
and his best suit of clothes was pawn
ed for payment. A festival drew near
and the shoemaker asked the wineseller
to lend him his clothes for that day.
He was refused, and in revenge en-
ticed his adversary's hen and chickens
into his house, stripped them of their
feathers, and turned them loose. En-
ragged at the cruelty, the wineseller
sought redress. Friend, said Girls

Bishop Heber, upon departing for
India, said in his farewell sermon:
Life bears us ON like the stream OF
a mighty river. Our boat at first
goes down the mighty channel through
the playful murmuring of the little
brook, and the willows upon its grassy
borders. The trees shed blossoms
over our young heads, the flowers Oh
the banks seem to offer themselves to
our young hands; we are happy in
hope, and grasp eagerly at the beau
ties around; the stream hurries on,
and still our hands are empty: Our
course in youth and in manhood is
along wider, deeper flood, and amid
objects more striking and magnificent
W are animated by the moving
picture Of enjoyment and industry
passing US; we are excited by ouf
sbortlived enjoyments. The stream
bears us on, and joys and griefs arr
left behind US. We may be shipwreck
ed, but we cannot be delayed; for
rough or smooth, the river hasten,
to its home, till the roar of the oceal
is in our ears, and waves beneath oul
feet. and the floods are lifted up arount
us, and we take our leave of earth ant
its inhabitants, until of our further voy
age there is no witness save the In
finite and Eternal"
