Gems of Thought.

Great men direct the events of their
time; wise men take advantage of
them; weak men are borne down by
them.
Where one thousand are destroyed
by the worlds frowns, ten thousand
are destroyed by its smiles.
He who is impatient to become his
own master, often becomes when the
outward checks are removed, merely
his own slave.
The frmest friendships have been
formed in mutual adversely, as iron is
most strongly united by the fercest
fame
Whining lightens no burden, less
ems no cares, and gains no sympathy
Therefore be CHEEKY, be brave, trust in
God, do good. and rejoice, evermore
The way to be accounted learned is
not to know everything, but to be
able to marshal up what You do know,
be it much or little, and tell it, if occa :
sion requires.
It is much easier to ruin a man of
principle than a man of none, for he
may be ruined through his scruples
Knavery is supple, and can bend but
honesty is firm and upright, and yields
not.
Mems lives should be like the days
more beautiful in the evening; or like
the seasons, aglow with promise, anC
the autumn rich with golden sheaves
where good words and deeds have
ripened on the field.

Greasing Wheels.

Greasing buggies and wagons is of
more Importance than some people
imagine. Many a wheel is ruined by
oiling too plentifuIly. A we'll made
wheel will endure constant wear for
ten or twenty years, if care is taken to
use the right kind and proper amount
of oil, butif this matter is not attended
to, the wheel will be used up in five or
six years, or may be sooner. Lard
should never be used on a wagon, for
it will penetrate the hub and work its
way out around the lemons of the
spolzes and spoil the wheel. Castor
oil is a good material for use on an
iron axle; just oil enough should be
applied to spindle to give it light
coating; this is better than more for
the surplus put on will work out at the
ends and be forced by the shoulders
and nut into the hub around outside
the boxes. To oil an axletree, first
wipe the spindles clean with cloth
wet with turpentine, if it won't wipe
without it, On buggy or carriage,
wipe and clean off the back and front
ends of the hubs, and then apply
very small quantity of castor oil, or
some especially prepared lubricator,

The Dead Child.

The little child is dead. Move soft
ly round the house; tread reverentlv,
when you near the room where the
beautiful form lies in its little coffin,
You never knew how lovely he was
until now; you never knew half his
gentle virtues. over your heart the
memory of his smiles hovers like an
angel; his eye was brighter than any
you will ever see again, his voice more
mNsical than the sweetest Flute. o
why will the stranger pass on unheed
ing why does the school-b boy laugh
and shout even beneath the window
where he lies? How can travellers
lattle by so heedlessly? +? how can the
world-the heartless world-go on
with its shows, its farces, its pleasure
seeking, its tumults of peace and war
joy and hatred, when loving, happy.

Alas the little child is dead, and fair
