AS LoNoED FOR BY JOSH BILLINGS.


 How i dew long (once in while) for them good old daze.
 Them daze when thare was more fun in 30 cents than there is now in 7dollars md a half. Them daze when man married la5 lbs of woman, and les than pounds (awl told) of enything else.
 How dew long for them old daze when ed ukashin konsisted in what man did we'll. Them daze when deakons was as austere as hoss reddish, and ministers preached temens soles instid iv their pockets.
 Them daze when pollyticks was the excep- ton and honesty the rule
 Them daze when lap dogs and wet nusses wunt known, and when brown bread and baked gooses made a good dinner.
 Them dazc when & man who want bizzy was watched, amd when wimmen spun only that kind of yarn that was good for the darn ing of stockins.
 How dew long for them good old daze when now and then a gal baby was called Jerusha and a. boy want split if he was named Jerry mer.
 And ye who have tried the fethers and fuss of life, who hay had the codfsh of wealth without sense stuck under yure nose, cum be- meath this tree, and long for an hour with mo for them good old daze when men were ashamed tew be fools, and wimInen wercafraid to be frts.
 N B.-Tha used to maik milk punch in them daze that was very handy to take.

TRUTm.o-Adhere rightly and undeviatingly to truth but while you express what is true, express it in a pleasing manner. Truth IS the picture, the manner is the frame that dis plays it to advantage. Truth conveyed in an austere and acrimonious language, seldom has . salutary effect. since we reject the truth, be- cause we are prejudiced against the mode of communication. The heart must. be won be- fore the intellect can be informed. man may betray the cause of truth by his unsea- sonabe zeal, as he destroys it's salutary effect by the acrimony of his manner. Whoever would be successful instructor must first be- come mild and affectionate friend. He who gives way to angry invcetiyes furnishes strong presumption that his cause is bad since truth is best supported by dispassionate argu- ment The love of truth, refusing to associate itself with the selfish and dissocial passions, is gentle, dignifed and persuasive. The un- derstandng may not be long able to withstand demonstratiye evidence; but the heart. which is guarded by prejudice and passion IS gene~ rally proof against argumentative reasoning; for no person will perceive truth wLen he is unwilling to find it. Many of our speculative opinions, even those which are the result of laborious research, and the least liable te, ais- putation, resemble rarities in the cabinet of the curious, which may be interesting Q the possessor, and few coEgeAial minds but which are of no use to the world, Many of our speculative opinions cease to engage attention, not because we arc agreed about their truth or fallacy, hut because we are tired of the con troversy. They sink into neglect, and, in future age, their futility or abspgdity is ack- nowledged, when they retain hold no .5nger on the prejudiees and passions of mankind.

Men rejoice when the sun is seen they rejoice when it goes down; while they are unconscious of the decay of their own lives Men rejoice at seeing the face of a new season, as the arrival of one greatly desired. Never theless the revolution of the seasons is the de cay of human life Fra lments of drift-wood meeting in the wide ocean continue together a little space; thus parents, wives, children, relatives, friends and riches, remain with us but short time--then separate, and the sep the common lot; he who mourns for departed relatives has no power to make them return. Knowing that the end of life is death, every right-minded man ought to pursue that which is connected with ultimate bliss.

A Candid Mind.

There is nothing sheds SO fine light
upon the human mind as candor. 1t was
called whiteness by the ancients, for its
purity; and it has always won the esteem
due to the most admirable of the virtues.
However lttlesought for or practiced, aldo
to it the homage of their praise, and feel
the charm and power Of its influence. The
man whose opinions make the deepest
mark on his fellow-man, whose influence
is the most lasting and efficient whose
friendship is instinctiyely sought where all
others have proved faithless, is not the
man of brilliant parts, or fattering tongue,
or splended genius, or commanding power;
he whose lucid candor, and Ingenious
truth transmit the hearts real feelings pure
and without refraction. There are other
qualities which are more showy, and other
traits that have a higher place in the
worlds codes of honor, but none wear
better, or gather less tarnish BY use, or
deeper homage in that silent reverence
which the mind must pay to virtue.
Fremont journal. [volume] (Fremont, Sandusky County [Ohio]) 1853-1866, 1866-11-23
Praying Always.

A christian cannot always heat, or al
ways read, or always communicate, but he
may pray continually. No place, no COM
pany, can deprive him of this privilege.
If be is on the top of the house with Pc
ter, he may pray; if he be in the bottom
of the ocean with Jonah, he may pray; if
he is walking in the field with Isaac, he
may pray when no eye seeth him; if he
be waiting at the table with Nehemiah, he
may pray when no ear hesreth him. If
he be in the mountain with our Saviour,
he may pray; if he be in the prison with
Paul, he may pray; wherever he is, pray
ing will help him to find God out Ev-
cry saint is Gods temple; 'and he that
carrieth His temple about him" said Aus
tin, "may go to prayer when he pleaseth,
Indeed, to christian, every house is a
house of prayer, every closet a chamber
of presence, and every place he comes to
an altar whereon he may offer the sacri-
fee of prayer.-SiOinnOek.
