Selected Miscellany.

ADMIRATION is the daughter of ig.
norance.
How full of briars is the working-day
world.
IT is the heart that makes the critic.
not the nose.
THERE is no grace in benefit that
sticks to the fingers.
We may not be able to lengthen our
lives, but we may greatly widen,
strengthen and enlarge it.
Do not choose your friend by his
looks. Handsome shoes often pinch
your feet.
I HAVE lived to know that the secret
of happiness is never to allow your
energies to stagnate.
, The most miserable pettifogging in
the world is that of a man in the court
of his own conscience.
WHEN man owns himself TO be in
error, he does but tell you, in other
words, that he is wiser than he was.
LOOK always at the bright side OF
things, as the cheering and invigorat-
ing sun does; and remember that con.
tent is the mother of good discretion.
4 MAN has no more right to say an
uncivil thing than to act one; no more
right to say a rude thing of another
man than to knock him down.
THERE are no words so fine, no fat
terry so SIT, that there is not senti-
ment beyond them that it is impossible
to express at the bottom of the heart
where true love is.
He whose wishes respecting the pos
essions of this world are the most
reasonable and bounded, is likely to
lead the safest, and, for that reason,
the most desirable life.
AFFECTATIoN IN any part OF our car
riage is like lighting up candle to our
defects, and never fails to make us no.
ticed, either as wanting sense or SINGER
ity.
BEAUTY, like the Towering blossoms,
soon fades; but the divine excellence
of the mind, like the medical virtues OF
the plant, remains in it when all those
charms are withered.
PLEASURE and pain, though directly
opposite, are yet so contrived by nature
as to be constant companions and it is
a fact that The same emotions and
muscles of the face are employed both
IN laughing and crying.

If railroad director were dashed to every

liz official figures are to be credited, less
than 10000 Germans were killed outright
in the late France Prussian war. All the
ingenious means for destroying life perfect
ed under the patronage of Verhuel Napo-
leon were used to sweep away the invading
Prussians, and yet but $4,000 and some
odd of the latter yielded up their lives on

the more destructive the weapons of warfare
the less average number Of killed. In

ly million Gauls in his conquest of their

what was then considered perfection, over
100000 of the French and the Allies
we're killed and wouded. At Waterloo
1900 men were killed and wounded on

TEAM LOST On Tuesday afternoon

tance IRON the banks and the current was
running swift in the main channel of the
stream. But the occupants Of the buggy
apprehended no danger, and started to
drive across. The water for some yards on
the side of the creek on which they drove
in was shallow, but when apparently half
across, the horses suddenly plunged into
swimming water and the current instantly
swept taem and the buggy down stream.
A few yards below the ford the floating
buggy caught on small ash tree by means
of one of the wheels passing so that the
tree became wedged in between the wheel
and bed, and so the whole rig was anchoIe ed

not get ashore at the time. The horses
tried to swim but when the buggy became
fast on the tree, they could not get away,
and consequently drowned then and there
But render the situation of the two gentle
men still more unpleasant, darkness came
on, the creek continued to rise for some
time, and the air was very chilly All

that time the water had receeded consider
