"How many people," says Jeremy
Taylor, ''are busy in this world" gath
ering together handful of thorns to

Mans real friend is industry it keeps
him in health and brings him wealth,
if systematically conducted, and kept
within due compass.
Write your name with kindness, love
and mercy on the hearts of the people
you may come in contact with year by
year, and You will never be forgotten.
Do not pride yourself upon your
wealth, for riches have wings if there
is anything upon which you have a
right to be proud of, it is, your good
conduct and your readiness to extend.
Discomfort is sin that is its own
punishment, and makes men torment

it arises not from the condition, but
the mind.
A poor vagrant was about being con-
demned to imprisonment for that he
had no visible means of support"
"Wisible !" cried the astonished defen-
dent, as he pulled from his pockets a
section of moldy sausage and hard old

1t is a weakness of some good men to
speak of man as miserable rather than
guilty. Indeed it becomes one who
has obtained mercy to pity rather than
condemn, Yet compassion should be
mixed with holy indignation for we
may indulge tenderness to offenders
till We lose sight of the abominatioR of
sin.
The semi-barbarous tribes along the
Amoorn river, In Asia, are said to have
a curious mode of performing capital
executions. They give the culprit
Chinese brandy until he becomes un-
conscious, and they then bury him alive.
Before he RECEIVERS consciousness he is,
of course, smothered by the earth, and
so it is a merciful plan.
| 1t is a good thing to believe it is
good thing to admire. By continually
looking upward, our minds will them
selves grow upward and as a man, by
indulging in habits of scorn and con-
tempt for others, is sure to descend to
the level of what he despises so the
opposite habits of admiration and en-
thusiastic reverences of excellence i'm
part to ourselves portion of the quail
tiles we admire.
1t is commonly said, and more par
ticularly by Lord Shaftesbury, that
ridicule is the best test for truth /; for
that it will not stick where it is not Just;
l deny it. A truth learned in a certain
light, and attacked in certain words, by
men of wit and humor, may, and often
doth, become ridiculous, at least so
far that the truth is only remembered
and repeated for the sake of the ridi-

Ministers of religion see people at
their very best. When a visit is eI-
l pected the Bible or some pious book is
found on the parlor table, and all seems
serene and fair. Lawyers see people
at their worst, and good legal advisers
have task to resist the angry feelings
that would hurry them into their bitter
lawsuits. But doctors see people Just
as they are, From them few wish to
hide their real condition.
A Genesee County man, says the De-
troit Free Press, who wanted tn go out
on the train yesterday, but missed 1T,
walked up and down the depot in q
high state of excitement, berating him
self and every one else, 81 know Just
what my wife will say p he exclaimed,
as he walked up and down. "When
that train gifts thar and she don't see
me, she'll git right up and jump over
chairs, and smash crockery, and swear
that I'm off on another drunk -
1t is our prerogative TO command our
selves. not events not content with the
inevitable, while we neglect the posi-
BILE. The moral energy we spend in su-
perfiuous efforts, we shall want for ac-
tions that are really profitable. Evils
are more to be dreaded from the sud
denness of their approach than from
the greatness of their duration, and
they will be the more insufferable IN
proportion as they find us unprepsred.
Habits that are ultra are always perni-
cious.
Never be sorry for any generous
thing that you ever did, even il it was
betrayed Never be sorry that you
were magnanimous, if the man was
mean afterwards. Never be sorry that
you gave. 1t was right for you to give,
even if you were imposed upon. You
cannot afford to keep on the safe side
by being mean. You had better, many
times in your life, for the sake of keep
ing yourself in the practice of beneyo-
lence, do things that are questionable,
rather than judge so narrowly that you
will always be on the side of cold calcu-
lstion. Give your heart some headway,
and in the long run it will be safer for
you.
Hassan Effendi has been enjoying q
pleasant vacation. He can sympathize
with DIR. Newman in his professional
jaunt around the world. Whereas the
latter went at the expense of the Gov
, ernment of the United States, the for
mer enjoyed himself, while the Sultan
, of Turkey paid the bills. He had the
best of it, too, because not being

detractors could say unkind things
about his devoting himself too
much to worldly pleasures and pursuits.
