THAR liz no limit tew the vanity of this
world. Each spoke in the wheel thinks
the whole strength ov the wheel depends
upon it.
The only claim emmy man kan have up
on the world, after he has left 1t, IL for
good examples.
Thare IL Just az mulch difference be-
tween precept and example, az thare il
between a horn that blows nOiZe, and
one that blows tune.
Sin in the soul IL like a silver in the
flesh, modification il the natral way tew
git rid ov it.
Fortune haz but little power over those
who are not her suitors.
Man by natur luvs sosiety, and the more
he luvs it, the more natral virtews he
possesses-the most vicious amung the
animals are those who live the most Sc
kluded.
Beware ov false friends-yure dog
wont desert yu when yure mummy IL
gone.
One reazon whi friendships are so tran
shient. is bekauze we so often mistake
companyun for friend.
To know how to think liz one ov the
sciences.
Poor human natur liz too full ov its own
grievances tew hav emmy pity to spare-f
WI show a man a big bile on yure arm, he
will tell yu he had one twice az big az
that on the same spot, last year.
The thinking men outlive the laborlng
men.
The owl IL remarkable for his gravity,
and also for his stupidity.
Flattery liz like moIlassis, very little
of it tastes sweet tew a wise man, and
good deal of it tastes sweet tew a phool.
like a hornet for one thing, they al
ways attend tew their own biZZness, and
wont let emmy boldly else attend lew it.
Fools are always looking ahead tew get
wisdum; wiZe men look back.
1t liz the eazyest thing in the world few
make a blunder, and the hardest thing
tew own it.
If man liz very anxious few kultiVate
a good opinyun of human natur, he mustn't
know too mulch ov it.
A phool iz not necessarily man with
out enny sense, but one without the right
kind ov sense.
When a man gifts tew talking about
himself, he seldum fails to be eloquent,
and often reaches the sublime.
Excellence in emmy direction IL rare
even good clowns are skarse.
Love generally changes coquetry to
sense, and prudery to sillyness.
1t IL only step from cunning tew dis
honesty, and it il step that man IL liable
at emmy time teW take.
Weak and Soicked are the two worst
things that ennyboddy can be charged
with.
He who iz willing tew trust everybody
iz willing tew be cheated by everyboddy-
Whenever yu find a man, with an ex-
centricity ov emmy kind, which he brags
ov, W. kan put that man down az "6eat'
and charge it tew mi account.
A wise man IL never less alone than
when alone.
When man measures out glory for
himself he alwus heaps the half-bushel.
A bile amt very sore thing after all,
espeshily when it IL on sum other phel
low.
Pretty much all the philosophy in this
world liz contained in the following
bracket-Tgrin and bear ii.
Idon't kno which haz done the most
damage in this world, lazyness or malice,
but guess lazyness has.
If / had fust rate dogs i would name
the best one Doubtful" and the other
Useless"
Rumor liz like swarm Nv bees, the
more yu fite them the less yu git rid oy
them.
Virtew may konsist in never SHINING,
but the glory ov virtew konslsts Ill re-
pentance.
Fashion makes phools ov some, sinners
ov others, and slaves ov all.
Inever bet not so much bekausc am
afrade shall loze, az bekause am afrade
i shall win.
A phools money il like hiz brains, very
oneaZy.
don't think the height ov impudence
haz ever been reached yet, altho menny
hev made good try for it.
The reason whi all the works ov nature
are so impressive, liz bekause they repre-
sent ideas.
The man whoze whole strength lays in
| hiZ money liz a weak man l had rather
| be able tew milk a COW successfully, on
the wrong side, than to be such man

A NOVEL breakfast party was recently
participated in by the Dover Batnlng
Club. A floating table, decorated WIN
flowers, was anchored in the bay, ana
upon it were laid cups of hot cofiee, eggs,
members of the club then sprang INTO the
water swan to the table and drank their
coffee. etc. the conditions being that no
one was to touch the table itself. This
necessitated a good knowledge of the art
of threading water" and there was plenty
of fun for quite half an hour, when the
repast was finished
1T has been noticed as a curious fact,
that during tae recent terrible thunder
storms the lightning has never done any
damage in cities of any considerable size.
Undoubtedly the iron which enters so
largely into the construction of cities
nowadays in buildings, railroads, tele-
graph lines, ETC., dissipates the electric
fluid so rapidly and completely, as it ap,
reaches the earth, that it is rendered
