The WORLD A MIRRoR.-The
world is lOoking-g glass, and gives
back every man the reflection of his
own face. FrOWn at it, and it will

teeming with kind hearted people
and you have only to carry kind,
sympathetic heart in your own bos-

Waiting for things to turn up lie
unphilosOphical as we'll as unprof-
liable. Things will turn up just az
fast and as often while you are
working as while you are waiting.

position or talents, still dignity
hovers round them, and ennobles
every action.

A young man was lately fined

The expense of publishing a
daily paper is scarcely guessed at
by outsiders. The entire cost of

fishing the Tribune is, probably,

SLIGHTLY DEAF.-The most ap-
palling case of deafness that we
ever came across outside of an asy-
