Go Slow.

Believe in travelling on step by step :;
don't expect to be rich in jump. Slow
and sure is better than fast and fimsy.-
Perseverance, by its daily gains enriches a
man far more than fits and starts offortune
speculation. Little fishes are sweet. Ev-
cry day thread, makes skein in a year.
Brick by brick houses are built We
should creep before we walk, walk before
we run, and run before we ride. In getting
rich, the more haste the worse speed
Haste trips up its own heels.
Don't give up small business till you
see that large one will pay you better
Even crumbs are bread. Better little
furniture than an empty house. In these
hard times, he who can sit on stone and
feed himself had better not move. From
bad to worse is poor improvement. A
crust is hard fare, but none at all is harder.
Don't jump out of the frying pan into the
fire. Remember many men have done
well in very small shops. A little trade
with profit is more desirable than a great
concern at loss; a small fire that warns
you is better than a large fire that burns you.
A great deal of water may be got from Il
small pipe, if the bucket is always there to
catch it. Large hares may be caught in
small woods. A sheep may get fat in a
small meadow, and starve in great desert.

A Novel Ceremony.

The ceremony of choosing compadres and
comadres for the coming year-a custom pc
culiar to the people of Spain and Mexico
was performed upon the advent of the
new year by some of the ladies OF this city.
The custom is an old one, and its origin
dates back many years. The manner of
its performance is as follows The names
of ladies and gentlemen known to be mu-
tually acquainted are written upon slips OF
paper and deposited in hats, the name of
a lady being drawn simultaneously from
one hat with that of u gentleman from
another, the two whose names are thus
drawn to be compat1res and comadres to
each other for the year. The obliga-
lions incurred toward each other by the
relationship are very simple. The gentle
man is to be the escort of the lady on any
and every occasion that she may desire and
she, in turn, must consider herself engaged
for any and every entertainment which he
may wish to attend. Of course, the rela-
tionship can be dissolved by mutual con-
sent, either temporarily or permanently,
during the period for which the agreement
is made.
The custom is an agreeable one in this
particular, that it insures to both lady and
gentleman an escort or companion, thus
doing away with the disagreeable Incl
dents which sometimes occur through not
having partners for an entertainment -
And it also secures to the lady having a
c0mpaolre, the positive certainty of having
some one to dance with at every ball.

What He Found.

There is colored brother engaged in
the pursuit of high art at the Top mill-he
carries bricks by the hodful up long lad
der-whose feet are so large that he will
not find out that his toes are cold until
next summer. He is none of your lemon
colored citizens. Not he; he is so black
that keg ofprinters' ink would grow pale
in comparison. He is a married man and
father, votes the Republican ticket and
is in favor of woman's suffrage. Well call
him Zeke for short. Well, yesterday, Zeke,
while engaged in toting bricks to the brick
layers, kept continually complaining that
something hurt his feet. Il declare to
goodness" he said, as he came to the top
of the ladder, about 10 o'clock, "pse suah
dars a silver or sumthin' in dat foot. |
never had dem boots hurt me dat way afoe.
Use gwine to see what dat is when we stops
foe dinner" and he looked down admiring.
ly at a foot that lay spread out on the
round of ladder like sloops jib hung
on a pole to dry. Notwithstanding his
complaints, he never stopped his work,
but kept on manfully until noon, when at
ter he had emptied his dinner bucket of
its contents, he raised up his foot and drew
off his boot. A search failed to discover
any "sliver" in the foot, but shake or
two on the half acre of leather he had in
his hand, and which he called boot,
brought from the interior pair of shutters.
When Zeke saw them broad grin spread
itself all over his face. Yah, yah, wah,
yee," he laughed. 81 'clar to goodness il

An Involuntary Deserter.

During one of Napoleon's remarkable
campaigns, a detachment of a corps, COM
manded by Davoust, occupied the Isle OF
Rugen, which they were to evacuate They
embarked with such precipitation that
they forgot one of their sentinels posted in
retired spot, so deeply absorbed in the
perusal of a newspaper, containing an ac-
count of one of the Emperor's splendid vic
tories as to be totally unconscious of their
departure After going to and fro for many
hours upon his post, he lost patience, and
returned to the guard-room, which he
found empty.
On inquiry, he learned with despair
what had happened and cried: "Alas
alas shall be looked upon as deser-
ter; dishonored, lost, unhappy wretch that
| am" His lamentations excited the COM
passion of worthy tradesman, who took
him to his house, did all he could to con-
sole him, taught him to make bread, for he
was baker, and after some months gave
him his only daughter, Justine, in marriage.
Five years afterwards a stranger sail was
seen to approach the island. The lnhabi-
tants flocked to the beach, and soon dis
covered in the advancing party a number
of soldiers, wearing the uniform Of the
French army,
81 am done for now-my bread is baked
cried the dismayed husband of Justine
An idea, however, suddenly occurred to
him and revived his courage. He ran tc
his house, slipped into his uniform, and
seizing his irelock, returned to the beach
and posted himself as sentry the moment
the French were landing. "Who goes
there ?" he cried, in voice like thunder
"Who goes there, yourself 9' replied one il
the boat. "Who are you ?" GA sentinel
GLOW long have you been on guard here p
give years." rejoined our man. Davoust
laughed at the quaint reply, and gave
discharge in due form to this involuntary
deserteT.

A CHAPTER ON WHINING.-I hev allurs
observed, says Josh Billings, that whin-
ing dog is sure to get lickt in fight. No
cur of well reggerlated morals kan resist
the temptation to bite cowardly purp
that tries to sneak off with his tale between
his legs.
The whinin' bizness man is just so.--
Avrldge mankind don't put no konfdens.
in him.
Most people don't like to trade with him
because they are afraid he'll bust up, or
think mebbe he's already busted.
The more down bizness man is the
more his customers will let him stay there.
good, ringin' bark is with more to put
greenbax in mans pocket than forty -two
years of whinin'.
I onst knowed a postmaster to get turn
ed out of offs, and tried to whine himself
In again. Eff any body cud make that kind
of Begin pay, he cud. But he has been
whinin' ever since, and every time he duz
