ENVY is a stubborn weed Of the

SAVING The secret Of saving is to
regulate your expenditure so that you
spend less than each days income,
no matter how tritliug the sum.
L1pEHrY.--Rcal political liberty is
such freedom Of thought, EXPIRE ssion.
and action as does not in the least
trespass on the rights of others.
HAPPINESS may be found in every
state and condition of life, but where
there is any society, in order that it
may be attained, there must be mutual
forbearancc.
GRIEFs.-No man ever stated his
gricfs as lightly as he might. For it
is only the finite that has wrought and
suffered; the infinite lies stretched in
smiling repose.-[ Emerson.
TUE true motives of our actions,
like the reed-pipes Of an organ, are
usually concealed; but the giIded and
hollow pretcxt is pompous!y placed in
the front for show.
HUMAN E4uALITr.--Perhaps of all
the erroneou notions concerning mind
which the science Of metaphysics has
engineered or abetted, there is none
more fallacious than that which tacitly
assumes or explicitly declares that men
are born with equal original mental
capacity, opportunities and education
Determining the difference of subse-
quent development.
Take away from mankind their van
ity and their ambition, and there would
be but few claiming to be heroes or
patroits.
INrEMpERANCE is tie jarent of most
other vices. 1t quenchcs the salutary
power of reason, and makes us the
sport Of raging passion.
TIE TEUTu.-A well-known author
says that nothing battles curiosity,
eludes pursuit, and generally mystefes
the humnn Intelligence Ike the plain
simple, and unvarnished truth.
Success rides on every hour-grap-
pie it, and you may win, hut without
a grapple it will never g. with you.
Work is the weapon Of honor, and he
who lacks the weapon will never
triumph.

itself as a rule, to one serial novel at

narratives Of travel and adventure; it
will have highly entertaining papers
upon various subjects that pertain to
the pursuits and rccreations Of the

Of pe:sons distinguished in varntous
walks of life; will present lively, social
sketches, having in special view those

tribute to the welfare and happiness
Of the household; it will describe phases
oflife i'll al quarters of the globe; it
will discuss the more important events
oftLe time, and the advances made in

and, while hoping to enlighten, will
strenuously aim to entertain, with
large abundance of material. all who
resort to its pages for intellectual
pleasure. 1t will employ illustration
sufficiently to give variety and anima-

rather to make it a journal of popular

A young man from an Eastern city,
who has been visiting rural rfriends in
this vicinity after seeing farmer

other morning, asked and received
permission to swing the fail few
minutes, upon assuring the agricultu-
ralist that. he was perfectly familiar
with the art of threshing.' Expector-
ating upon his hands, the young man
went at the oats, but at the first pass
knocked the horn off a new mich COW
that was leisarely chewing her cud in a
neighboring stall. The second swing
caved in the head of the farmer, who
thought he was safe enough as long as
he roasted on top of the tanning mill
in the end of the barn, but without
discovering the havoc he was making,
the city artist kept at his labors: the
third blow fell upon the oats the fourth

ly weapon was the best Of all, for it
came around the young man boomer.

put stop to the work of slaughter
The mere fact that the city ''thrcsher

discovered by his neighbors.

AS a rule, physicians are the most
charitable Of men. They may not give
fortunes away in aims; but their time,
which to them is money, is freely given
to the suffering, in more cases than one
might suppose, ''without money and
without price" 1t Was upona freez-

that he "never knowea man so well

D1 STELLA VI LACKAWANNA.
If l should 60 back some day
If the breath of summer morn
Should watt me, as if in play,
To the spot where l was born;
And leave me helpless child,
Meath the roof that sheltered me
When the storms without were wild,
Or the skies were fair to see:
Would the creed of my childish doubt
BE merged in glad romance,
BY the grand life stretching out,
In a broad, untracked expanse
Would the air with castles glow
Or the clouds weep golden rain
Would the years dare cheat me so
If were a child again
If Fate should restore to me
The joy Of vanished time,
When l rocked on stormless sea
Or roamed in peerless cline
Would the glamour of youth again
Be sullicd BY sense'ess tears !
Or the sting of causeless pain
Embitter the rainbow years d?
Would love with the reckless faith
That the soul Of woman dare
And follow again the path
Each step but u cruel snare!
Would the pangs of death be sweet,
If dying each day for one
That wandered with untrue feet
To the shrine Of an alien sun
Would l pale with woman's grief
Or flush with woman's scorn-
Should the veil of my fond belief
BY traitors tooth be torn?
Would break my foolish heart
For the false VOWS man might speak
Oh, tears from my eyes that start
Oh, woman within 50 weak
If the wings Of summer morn
Should carry me back, ONE diy,
'Mong the hills where was born
would walk the same blind way;
With a treasure each morhing lost
And hope at each sunset fed
And the tn ings loved the most
Around me, lying dead.
