TRUTHS AND TRIPLES.

The man who would like to see YOU
The blind man.
The New York Tribune alludes, editori
ally, to "widow lady" This use of
both the words indicating sex is pru-
| dental act to cover The remote cOntin-
gency of the widow being gentleman.
WE may live without books
| What Is knowledge but grieving3
We may live without hope
What Is hope but deceivingf
We may live without love-
What Is passion but piniDg?
But where Is the man
That can live without dining?
AN Algerian idea is that the angel of
death seizes dying man by the hair of
his head and carries him up to Paradise.
Bald-headed Algerians, of course, 60 TO
the other place.
WITH time and patience the mulberry
leaf becomes satin. What difficulty is
there at which man should quail when
worm can accomplish so much from the
leaf of the mulberry.
SUCCESS in any calling is the result of
mans love of and belief in the work he
has undertaken. Earnest and conscien-
tious labor often accomplishes more in
the end than brilliant genius
WE neglect the little things of every
day life to reach for fame. A Detr0iter
asked eight hundred and fifty-four diff
ferent people how many spokes there were
in a buggy-wheel, and not one could tell
him.
DONATIONS are making their appear
ance in various parts of the country, and
the thrifty granger bestows the damaged
beans, squashes, apples, ETC., that he was
unable to sell, upon his pastor, and quotes
to himself, "'Tis more blessed to give
than to receive"
MRS. LIvERMoRE in her lecture eulo-
gizes Wendell Phillips devotion as a hus-
band. But little confidence, however,
can be placed in her statements, for it is
the way of some women to eulOgize the
husbands of other women while they
think their own of little account.
DIR. Won BULow, having said that the
American girls put more soul into their
piano-playing than the European,
Chicago writer remarks: "Just wait un-
til he sees st. Louis girl kick the pedals
if you want to have him convinced that
it is possible to get too much sole into a
musical performance"
CHARLES DUDLEY WARNER thinks
that the Italian mosquitoes are more in
telligent than the American ones, saying
that the mosquito in Venice, who has
had civilized ancestors for one thousand
years, is very different animal from the
mosquito of our Western prairies. He
is alert, cautious, cunning, and trained
to get his living with the least possible
danger.
Mr.. BERGH thinks that the New York
slaughterers are unnecessarily cruel in
the operation of killing their hogs. Why
don't they put them under the influence
of laughing gas, and then, when a hog
returns to consciousness, he will find that
during his ecstatic insensibility he has
been neatly cut up into sides, shoulders,
and hams, sa'ted and packed away, and
is already booked for tour on the con-
tinent.
LOUISVILLE Comier-Jomndl: More
work for II. G. White. The expression,
Everything is lovely and the goose
hangs high" is corruption of the say
ing, :" Everything is lovely and the goose
honks high" The honk is the note
sounded by the wild goose in its flights,
and is about the only music in which
that graceful bird INDUCES. The mean
ingless word "hangs" should be imme-
diately eliminated from this beautiful
and popular description of the situation.
