Gems OF Thought.

Those who misuse tender hospitali.
ty are guilty Of gross ingratitudc.
ExcUsEs.-Let others apologize 70,
us if we can find an excuse for ou,
conduct we might have found "a way to
act differently.
GOVERN GENTLY.--Goyern tn,
child by gentlencss even the came
moves not switter before the whip thar
behind the flute.
THoUGHTs AND ACrIoNs,-Nothine
is more common than to try to recon
cilc our conscience to our evil thought!
by our good actions.
SILENCE.-Were we as eloquent a.
angels, yet should we please some men
some women, and some children, mucl
more by listening than by talking.
CHOOSE COOP FR1ENDs.-There i:
nothing which contributes more to the
sweetness of life than friendship there
is nothing which disturbs our repose
more than friends, if VIC have not til,
liscernment to choose them well.
BE LENIENr TO FAILINGs. .-Friend
ship is more firmly secured by lenity
toward failings than by. attachment tc
exceliencies. One is valuable as a
kindness that cannot be explained, and
the other exacted as payment of debt
to merit.
Fortune is the rod Of the weak, anC
the staff of the brave.
One ungrateful man does an injury
to all who stand in need of aid.
Riches are not among the number O
things that are good. 1t is not poverty
that causes sorrow, but covetous de-
sires. Deliver yourself from appetite
and you will be free. He who is dis
contented with things present and al
Iotted is unskilled in life.
ADyERs1rY.-In any alversity tha
happens to us in the world we ought tt
consider that misery and aiiiiction are
not less natural than snow and hail
storm and tempest, and that it is Al
reasonable to hope for year withou
wint1 as for life without trouble.
ENEMIEs.-The most harmless mel
arc not on that account without enc
mics, particularly if they add to pru
dence plain and honest speaking, 70
nothing excites some persons to violenc
more than the spectacle of that self
colIectedness and self-respect whicl
they do not feel in themselves.

awful Lonesome Man.

In the shanty which, in California s
early days, did duty as Office for the
bankiag, postal and express business Of
Wells, Fargo & Co., in Marysville,
there sat, one Saturday evening, a
misanthropic and detected looking in
dividuai, whose loug and unkempt hair
aud beard, cowhide boots and rough
dress bespoke the miner. For over an
hour he sat there, the picture of des-
pair, with not word or look for any
one present. Miners came, left their
''lust )" took their coin in return, and
exchanged greeting with all present,
save the one morcse man, whose apathy
nothing, it seemed, could disturb.
Finally there entered a young miner
with d baaming face, who, after COM
pleting his business at the counter,
turned to the agent in charge and re-
marked that on the previous Saturday
he had had some dealings with the bank
and thought that some mistake had
been made in his account.
Guess not, - said the agent. "Our
cash was all right, and I reckon we
keep our books pretty straight.
But on the request of the miner that
the account should be examined, the
account was looked at, and it was
found that thro' clerical error, the
miner had been paid just fifty dollars
too much.
That's just what l make it, said
the latter, land here's your money!
With this he received the thanks of the
agent.
While this conversation was in pro.
gress, the misanthropic miner had pre-
served his look of utter Indifference;
but when ho saw the money actually
returned, his face frightened up, he
rose slowly, walked towards the honest
miner with slow and solemn step, ani
said:
young man, don't you feel awfu
lonesome in this country %

The St. Joseph Commercial thus
speaks in an article OH the growth of

"The people composing city are
joint stockholders in great company.
By becoming residents of a city and
engaging in business within her limits,
every man takes stock in the city, and
her interests become his own interests,
for upon the prosperity Of one depends
the prosperity of the other. The public
interests are his private interests, and
in advancing the one he advances the
other. People must have a pride in
the growth of their city, and every one
as good citizen should 60 to work to

furnished at as cheap rates? Home
