TRUTHS AND TRIPLES.

WE hear the rain fall, but not the
snow. Bitter grief is loud, calm grief is
silent.
"SHURE, which is the entrance out ?"
asked an Irishman at railway station,
the other day.
WHAT sort of sympathy would you
rather be without? You don't want to be
pitted by the smallpox.
1T is not only old and early impress
sions that deceive us; the charms of
novelty have the same power.
LIFE is a short day; but it is work
ing day. Activity may lead to evil but
inactivity cannot lead to good.
FIVE plain letters composed my frame,
And what Is singular, my name
Forwards and backwards reads the same;
When I'm discovered you'll plainly see
What the proud peer and peasant soon will be-
AnSuer-Level.
MILWAUKEE Neacs: The Milwaukee
Sentinel likens itself to :" the angel voice
of DID," doubtless mindful of the angel
who spoke to Baalam through the mouth
of an ass.
WOMEN charm, as general thing, in
proportion as they are good. A plain face
with heart behind it is worth world of
beauty. Men who have tried both uni

LOVE one human being purely and
warmly, and you will love all. The heart

81. GRAY-Pack with my box five
dozen quills." There is nothing re-

THERE'S beauty in the frying pan,
When the fat is jumping high;
There's beauty in dozen eggs,
Dropped softly in TO fry;
There's beauty In a slice OF ham,
Westphalia youngand sweet

They're beautiful to eat.

Somewhat irritated by the creatures in
trusion on the privacy of his walk, the
professor said to him, How long, Tom,

yersel?'
VISIT YOUR PARENTs.-If you live in
the same place, let your steps be-if
possible daily-a familiar one in the old
home if you are miles away-yea, many
miles-away, make it your business to go
to your parents. In this manner do not
regard time or expense; the one is well
spent, and the other will be fully, even q
hundred fold, repaid. When some day
the word reaches you, flashed over the
telegraph, that your mother is gone, you
will not think them much, those hours of
travel, which at last bore you to the
loved ones side.

piled the other; "you don't understand.
