Don't whine!

NV friend, don't complain if fortune
frowns upon you, and matters go wrong.
I say, hold up your head like mar, and
shut your lips tight against words OF
complaint Suppose your castles in the
air do tumble down; what if the work
you've been engaged upon for weeks,
which YOU think will be success, does
fail2 Rest assared that Satan has you

There's no use expecting a full hand
eyery time; some one else must have the
trump now and then; so just let them
swing their 'ssfxteen points hand, while
YOU are getting ready to "stock the
caras,'' and Deal yourself as good.
1 don't believe in lack, altogether.
Smartness is good thing, and nobody
likes smart people better than I dol

Anything can be done by perseve-

uncomfortable. I love a person who
isn't afraid of life's storms, and laughs
at people who peep out of the door,
and sit at the fire toasting their
shins, while some one else saws the
wood, makes the snow paths, and does
the out door work in general.
I'm not complaining, now; only trying
to "shoot folly as it fies." Talking
about Women's Rights, which is going
rather lively just now, all can say is,
that the female sex are right if they do
it in the right way. They'll never get
their rights as long as they whine
around-"Oh, if we were only the &C
knowledged equals of man, but what
can a W oman do?' Why, do whatever
comes before your hands of course.
Nurse babies, do honse work, or any
thing instead Of whining about "Suf

concerns, DC. But if you talk about
your .grand meeting in Chicago and
then complain that Richmond '.dont do

question, would you, Mr. Whinera
Where was4? Oh. Yes, about towards!
Now suppose every man, boy, woman
and girl should drop their hands and give
up because something has gone wrong.
Suppose our shoe makers would drop
their work every time stitch broke;
what il our carpenters should .quit work
every time saw'got dull; or OR horti
culturists should give up every time q

would eat his cherries; wouldn't We be q
gay set. though?
It has been said that everything does
some good in thisvworld of ours; and
can't imagine what good q soAiner does.
If the liquor seller would whine and
give up, that would be one good thing
i believe if every bar keeper would
"give in," we would have no more viii
ming. Every one knows that liquor
saloon is the root of all evil; so, Of
course that's where whining came from
Dig IL out root and branch, plant good
seed there, and then-what? A glorious
country, to be sure.
Cease your complaining; you, who are
failing, try again. Sharpen up your
tools and make another bold push; i
that fails, dent give up, but shuttle ant
deal again. GOSSIP.
