The best education one can OBJ
tain is the education experience
gives. In passing through life
learn everything you can. 1t
viii all come in play. Don't be
frightened away from any pursuit
because you have only a little time
to devote to it. If you can't have
anything more, a smattering is in
finitely better than nothing. Even
a slight knowledge of the arts, and
sciences, and languages open up a
whole world of thought. A little
systematic endeavour one hour, or
even a day, and man may be con-
sidered learned before he dies.
Learn thoroughly what You do
learn, be it ever so little, and you
may speak of it with confidence.
A few clearly defined facts and
ideas are worth q library of uncer-
tain knowledge.

An Expensive Joke.

A man who plays practical jokes Z
upon his wife deserves TO be pun
ished, and Slatterly. of Nfuncy, was
punished. His wife has a dread of
cats, and before retiring at night |
she always looks carefully under
the bed to see that no stray puss,
and no man, on robbery intent, are
concealed there. A few nights ago,
after Mr.. and Mrs. Slatterly had
retired, Slatterly, who had been
learning ventriloquism, thought he
would amuse himself and scare his
wife by gently yowling and making
the sound come from under the bed.
Mrs. Slatterly instantly sat up and
exclaimed:
"Josiah, do believe there is
cat in this room"
ooh, nonsense" grunted Slater
ly; and then he made the sound
again.
81 tell you, JOSIAH" exclaimed
Mrs. S., 81 hear cat under the
bed. Iwish you'd get up and drive
it away"
"Oh, go to sleep, Matilda" said
Slatterly. 81 don't hear anything.
There's no cat about"
Then Josiah, with his mouth be-
meath the covers, uttered a louder
screaeh than before.
"Well, if you won't clear that
cat out, you brute, / WILL" said
Mrs. Slatterly.
So she reached over, picked up
Josiah's boots, put them on in bed
in order to protect her feet and an
kles from the Infatuated animal
Then she took Slatterly's cane and
stopped down to sweep it around
beneath the bed. Just as she did
so, Josiah emitted fearful yell,
which might come from cat in the
last paroxysms of hydrophodia.-
This startled Mrs. Slatterly so that
she sprang backward, and, in so
doing, she stumbled against the
baby's cradle, which was overturn-
cd, and she went head-foremost
against the s25 looking-glass on the
bureau, while the cane flew out of
her hand and lighted with consider
able force on Slatterly's head.
The screams Of Mrs. Slatterly
aroused all the neighborhood and
even brought out the fire depart
ment, so that by the time the badly
was rescued from the wreck, and
the broken glass picked up, two
engines had streams playing
upon the house, and the front had
been burst open by the police; and |
the firemen were engaged in drag
ging a wet hose over the entry car
pet and up the front stairs just as
Slatterly came down to explain
things. That feline ventriquism
cost him just 500 for carpets and
looking-glasses, and confusion on
the head which the people of Mum
cy believe to this hour that he re-
ceived in a pugilistic encounter
with his wife.

A good old elder of a church
who was given to extravagant
exaggeration, was at last called to
account for his offenses in that re-
spect, and admonished not to give
way to the besetting sin in future.
The good old man received the
admonition meekly, and earnestly
said: Il know how prone / am to
this fault, my bretheren, and it has
given me fortunes of pain; and
night after night l have shed bar
rels and barrels of tears over it."
The meeting adjourned in silence.

SATURDAY, Feb. 14-6 p. NJ.
The past week developed little Of interest in
commercial matters. The demand for merchan-
disc was a little more active, but still the spring
season was not characterized by any general
movement The continual squabbling in Congress
over 'innation" or contraction with all the
indications favoring the former policy, have
tended to stimulate speculative ventures in some
directions but spectators. nevertheless, generally
exercised some caution in the observance of any
actual adoption in the innation policy, 30 urgently
advocated by some OF the leading party spirits In
Congress, who care as little as they know about
either the requirements OF the country or the laws
which govern commerce and trade. The gold pre-
mum was maintained at high figure, but the
fluctuations we're immaterial and without especial
influence In trade circles The business in hardware
was active all through the week, and in this depart
men the spring trade may DO considered as under full
Roadway. In the dry goods department only a fair
degree of activity prevailed but the market was never
theles oerably buoyan and firm In all
The export movement in breadstus was moderate the

The committee does not endeavor to con-
ceal its admiration Of the work accom-

increase Of one dollar in the hundred in the
rate Of taxation must be very gratifying to
the memorialists. We give them Joy of
the prospect. ......
