COEuihSly. 1t IS q great mistake tC

Judgment and experience in youth

alike; not to yield in immaterial
trlnes; to look for perfection in our
own actlons; to worry ourselves and
others with what cannot be remedied
not 10 alleviate all that needs aIlevia-
ton, as far as lies in our power; to
consider everything impossible which
We cannot perform to believe only
what our finite minds can grasp; to
expect to be able to understand ev-
erything. The greatest of all mis-
takes ;s to live only for time, when
any moment may launch us into eter-
hity.
IT is singular but not less true, that
Jefferson was born just eight years
after his predecessor Adams; Madi-
son just eight years after Jefferson ;
Monroe eight years after Madison /;
aud John Quincy Adams eight years
after Monroe. Another curious fact
to be observed is that Adams was
Just sixty-six when he retired JEFF
1erson was sixty-six; Madison was
slxty,siX; Monroe was sixty-six 4;
and John Quincy Adams, had he
been eloctCd to second term, would
have been sixty-six. Adams, JEFF
ferson and Monroe all died on the
4th OF July.

blushed and burst into tears. He
ss TO the mother: How beautiful
your reproach has made your
daughter. That crimson hue and
those silvery tears become her much
better than any ornament Of gold or
pearls; those may be hung on the
neck of any woman; these are ever
seen connected with moral purity.

SPEND WIsELY-Look we'll to your
sDending. No matter what comes in,

poor. The art is not in making money,
but in keeping it; little expenses,
like mice In barn, when they are
many, make great waste. Hair by
hair heads get bald straw by straw

When you mean to save, begin with
your mouth there arc many thieves
down the red lane. The ale-iug is a
great waste. In all other things
keep within compass. Never stretch
your legs further than the blankets
will reach, or you VIII soon be cold.
In clothes, choose suitable and last
ing stun, and not tawdry fineries. TO
be warm is the main thing; never
mind the looks. A fool may make
money, but IT, needs q wise man to
spend it. Remember, it is easier to
build two chimncys, than to keep
one going. IL you give all to back
and board, there is nothing left
for the savings bank. Fare hard and
work hard while you are young, anu
you have a chance of rest when on
are old.

beach while hauling their seine
caught very strange fish it wa
about four or five feet long, with ;
head somewhat resembling an alliga

ceeded from it. 1t had two fiery-likt
eyes of aereen-yellowish color, Will
two horns of hard, bOny substance

head. The body was slim and long
\ and it had four web feet, the leg
