HOme.bred Proverbs.

The sayings of Josh Billings recent,
ly published, contains some true home.
bred proverbs, which, although express.
ed in dialect and style that we hold in
abomination, still are worth reading.
rive prefer to change the dialect.
News We give few of them;:
Iargue in this way, if a man is right
he can't be too radical ;if he is wrong
he can't be too conservative.
1t is highly important, when man
makes up his mind TO- become rascal
that he should examine himself closely,
and see he amt better constructed Tor
a fool
If there was nothing but truth in this
world, fool would stand just as good a
chance as wise man.
When fellow gets going down
hill, it does seem as though every thing
had been creased for the occasion.
There are a great.multitude of individ
uals who are like blind mules, anxious
enough to kick, but can't tell where.
Large bodies move slow" this ere
proverb don't apply to lies, for the big.
ger they are the faster they go.
There is . things in this life for which
we are never fully prepared, and that is
twins.
Marrying for love may be little
risky, but it is very honest.
We are apt to hate them who won't
take our advise, and despise Them who
do.
Genuine proverbs are like good cari'
brio needles--short, sharp and shiny.

big yield for the seed, SOW wild oats.

GIVE ME A SEASIDE HOME.

Where tbsEglad waves laugh with careless
Let the soft:sighing night-winds lull mo to

love i'll love it--that sad, sweet tone;
IT'S general dirge DER q boundless tomb,
Unmarked by aught save the sea Aow re.s
,Let me list to the words Of the wild waves
song,
For it speaks of life-of busy throng---
Ola heart with its storms Of joy and VOC
OF q soul at peace, and Of "long ago."
1t reminds me, too, Of faithful band
In their mission of love on heather strand;
And it whispers then of mothers grave
In sea-girt isle near Pacifc's wave.
The past floats on the murmuring tide,
Mournfully adly--the blue waters glide !;
They speak of earth's greatness as perish

Elba, the prison Of warrior brave
St. Helena where once stood the lonely
OF monarch before whom all monarch's had
kneeled--
The poor vanquished hero Of watcrloo's

Whether sadness or gladness flow DER the
heart,
The wavelets and pillows seem bearing o
part;
Our hopes and our fears-our longings for
Seem each to find echo in Oceans warm

Where moonlight, and starlight and sun

Weave mantles of beauty for Ocean to wear;
Where lightnings form garlands to deck the
bright Sea. H@1

The Value Of n Bit of knowledge.

In the course Of our miscellaneous
reading, we came across the following
good story, which illustrates the value
OF bit of practical Information, when
applied at the right time:
In the Plaza before St. Peters, at
Rome, stands the most beautiful obelisk
IN the world. 1t was brought from the
circus OF Nero, where it had lain buried
tor many ages. 1t was one entire piece
OF Egyptian marble, ~ feet high, II
feet square at the base, and feet sqtlare
at Iiio IoP "0"Pu'ou W woiS'r'aooo rrV'
tons, and supposed to be 5000 years old.
A pedestal 80 feet high, was built for
its reception. and the obelisK brought to
its base. Many were the ingenious con-
trivances prepared for the raising Of i;
to its last resting place, ali Of which ex
cited the deepest interest among the
people.
At lepgth everything was in readi.
ness, and day appointed for the great
event. A great multitude assembled to
witness the ceremony; and the Pope,
afraid that the clamor of the people
might distract the attention of the ar
ohitect, issued an edict containing reg.
ulations to be kept, and imposing the
severest penalties on any one who should
during the lifting OF the gigantic stone,
uttef word. Amidst suppressed ex-
element of feelings and breathless ST.
lence, the splendid monument was grad
ually raised to within a few inches OF the
top of the pedestal, when its upward
motion ceased; it hung suspended, end
could be got no furtber;: the tackle
was too slack, and there seemed to be
no other way than TO undo the great
work already accomplished. The an.
noyed architect in his perpleSity, nardly
knew how to ac',while the silent people
were anxiously watching every motion
of his features to discover how the pro.
blem would be solved.
In the crowd was an old British sail
or; he saw the difficulty and how to
overcome it, and with stentorian lungs,
he shouted, "Wet the ropesl'
The vigilant polite pounced on the
culprit and lodged him in PRISON; the ar.
chitect caught the magic words, he put
his proposition in force, and the cheers 81
the people proclaimed the success of the
greatundertaking. Next day the Brit.
tish criminal was solemnly arraigned be.
fore his Holiness; his crime was unde
niably proved, and the Pope in solemn
language pronounced his sentence to be
that he should rceive pension an,
nulaly during his lifetime. %.
These little facts stored up from 6b.
servation, can never do the owner any
harm, and may some day be of great
utility; and this story only proves the
value of remembering small things as
well as great ones, for there is nothing
that is too insignificant for man to know,
and there is no knowledge that has not
! its use.

ARMIES OF OTuER DAys.-T

ARMIES OF. OTHER DAYs.--The
largest army ever assembled at any
one time during the Revolution was
that commanded by General Putnam, on
Long Island. That numbered seven.
teen thousand men of all arms. The
next was that with which Washington
captured Corvallis at Yorktown, when
he had sixteen thousand. Our largest
army assembled in 1912 was command
ed by Andrew Jackson at New Orleans,
and counted about six thousand. Com.
ing down to the Mexican army, Taylor
won his victories With force never ex-
ce"ding five thousand, and SCOTS larg.
est force was not beyond eight thousand
five hundred. The largest army prior
to the rebellion, was therefore, that of
Putram, at Long Island--seyenteen.
thousand men.

How TO CARE FOR THE HAIR.--As to men,
we say, when the hair begins to fall out,
the best plan is to have it cut short, give it.
good brushing with moderately stiff
brush, while the hair isdry, then wash it
we'll with warm soap suds, then rub over the
scalp, about the roots Of the hair, little
bay rum, brandy or camphor- water. Do
these things twice q month77ths brushing Of
the scalp may he done twice week. Damp
the hair with water every timb, the toilet is
made. Nothing ever made is better for the
hair that pure soft water, if the scalp is
kept clean in the way we have named.
The use Of oils, of pomatums, or grease Of
any kind, is ruinods TO the hair Of man or
woman. We consider II q filthy practice,
almost uni vcrsal though It hs iforit gath
ers dust and dirt. and soils whatever it
touches. Nothing but pure soft water should
ever be allowed on the heads Of childreri.
1t is different practice that robs OUT wo-
men Of their PRIME; tho hair Of our dStigh-
ters sl ould bo kept within two o'inoher, until
their twelfth year.-HaiEs s Journal ofIeaith
