ExrrAcr-Whcn the summer day of
youth is slowly wasting away into the
nigitflll of age, and the shadows of the
past years grow deeper and deeper, as life

rejoice with us, and friends have been
gathering together around our lireslles,
then the rough places of our wayl:,ring

twilight of life, while the sunny spots VIC
have passed through will grow brighter
and more beautiful. Happy indeed are

not changed the tone of their holicr feel

heart, whose vibrations are so melodious,
so tender and touching in the evening OF

TIE VALUE OF LATINA very good
member of the General Assembly of Rhode
Island once moved to translate I'LL the
Latin phrases in the statutes so that the
common people could understand them.
The exquisite folly Of such Il measure was
by no means obvious to the great body OF
the Assembly. 1t was quite as likely to
pass as not. ~ good solid argument
against it would probably have carried it
through. The late Mr.. Oplike took the
ground that it WAS no advantage to have
the people understand the laws. They
were not afraid of anything which they
understood. 1t was these Latin words
that they were afraid of. "NIr. Speaker,
there was Il man in South Kingston about
twenty years ago, a perfect nuisance, and
nobody knew how to get rid of him. One
day he was locing corn and he saw the
Sheriff coming with paper, and he asked
what it w:ls. Now if he lad told him it
WAS a writ wlat would he have cared !?
but he told linn it was Il capias ad salts
fdcicndum, and the man dropped his hoe
and ran, and has not boon heard of since"

DoN'r BE ExrRAvAGANr.-Ift the poor

what you don't need Before you pay
three cents for a ajewsllarp, my boy. ascer-
tain whether you cannot make just as
pleasant noiseby Mhistling. for which
nature furnishes-the machinery, and before
you pay seventy-fye dollars for a coat,
Young man, find out whether your lady
would not be just as glad to see you in
one that cost half the money. II she
would not, let her crack her own hazel
nuts, and buy her OWL clothes.
When you see a man spending two or
three dollars week fcolishly, the chances
are five to one that he'll live long enough
to know how many cents there are in a
dollar; if he don't he's pretty sure to be-
qucath that privilege to his widow
When man asks you to buy that for
which you have no use, no matter how
cheap, don'tsay yes until you are sure that
some one else wants it in advance. Money
burns In some folks pockets, and makes
such big hole that everything that is
put in drops through past finding.

MES OF Few WoRDs.-Some men use
words as ritlcmcn do bullets. They say
but little. The few words used 90 right
to the malk. They let you talk, and
guide with your eye and face, on and on,
Till what You say can be answered in a
word or two, and then they launch out
sentence, pierce the matter to the quick,
and are done Your conversation falls
into thcirmind as rivers into deep chasm,
and is lost fiom sight by its depth and
darkness. They will sometimes surprise
you with a few words, That 60 to the mark
like gun-shot, and they are silent again,
as if they were re-loading. Such men are
safe coullselors, and trle friends in every
case where they profess to be such. To
them truth is more valuable than gold,
willie prctension is too gauzy to deceive
them. Words without point, to them, are
like titles without merit, only betraying
the weakness of the blinded dupes who
arc ever used as promoters Of other mems
schemes.
