THE PATRIOTS REWARD.-We read in an
exchange the other day that the great Radical
Garfield, red-mouthed Jacobin from Ohio
went to Congress two years ago poor man, but
that he is now rolling in wealth.
The same miraculous change in circumstances
has been observed in many others of the party
of high moral IDEAS" and the only question that
arises is, how did these disnterested patriots
make so much money? Their pay Congress-
men is all spent in entertaining the faithful that
visit the national capital, and yet they are all
becoming wealthy. The only answer is that
these fellows get rich by means best known to
themselves; but which we think may be explain
ed by supposing that handsome percentage of
the appropriations made by Congress, by some
means or other finds its way into their pockets.

MAINS. These terse rules arc worth

Maxrxs.--These terse rules are worth
remembering: Pay your debts as soon
as you can get any money in your
pocket Do without what you don't
need. Speak your mind when necessa-
ry. hold your tongue when prudent.
Cut any acquaintance who lacks prin-
clple. Bear with infrmities, but not
vice. Respect honesty; despise duplic-
ity. Wear old clothes until You are
able to pay for new ones. Aim Mt com
fort and propricty, not fashion. Ac-
knowledge your ignorance, and don't
pretend to knowledge you haven't got.
Entertain your friends, but never be-
yond your means.
