GOD does not enquire what WI
have got, but what we are.
GOD loves your faults mixed
with penitence more than your vir
tues seasoned with pride.
DIFFERENCES of opinion should
never be allowed to divide atfec
tiOns.-Lessing.
WHO is wise! He that is teach
able. Who is mightys He that
conquers himself. Who is rich
He that is cOntented. Who is hon.
ored ? He that honoreth others,
CHARITY is never lost: it may
meet with ingratitude, or be of no
service to those on whom it is be
o'awed, yet it ever does work of
beauty aud grace upon the heart of
the giver.
GENEROSITY during life is very
different thing from generosity in
the hour of death. One proceeds
from genuine liberality and benevo.
lence, the other from pride or fear.
SELF. Say nothing respecting
yourself, either good, bad, or indif-
terent-nothing good, for that is
vanity; nothing bad, for that is
atfectation; nothing Indifferent, for
that is silly.
VALUE OF TINE. AS nothing
truly valuable can he attained with
out industry, SO there can be no
persevering industry without deep
sense of the value of time.
DISPUTES. 1t is an excellent
rule to be observed in all disputes,
that men should give soft words
and hard arguments; that they
should not so much strive to vex as
to convince an opponent.
SOLITUDE AND SOCIETY. 1t is
easy, in the world, to live after the
worlds OpiuiOn; it is easy in soil
tude to live after your own; but the
great man is he who, in the midst
of the crowd, keeps with perfect
sweetness the independence of soil
tude.-EmersOn.
HONESTY. There is no man
but for his own interest, hath an
obligation to be honest. There may
be sometimes temptations to be
otherwise; but, all things consid-
cred, he shall find it the greatest
ease, the highest profit, the best
pleasure, the most safety, and the
nOblest fame, to be honest.

TERRIBLE COMBAT WITH RATS.
The Carlisle (Pa.) Herald relates
the following: "Mr. Jesse Laverty
of East Pennsylvania, was lately
much annoyed by rats, which carri.
ed off his eggs, and made sad work
with his corn in his crib and then
invaded his granary and commenc-
ed destroying bin of wheat. On
examination he found there was but
one place where they got in. He
tiereupon resolved to kill the rats
by an artificial well worthy of tho
cause. lie strewed corn meal lber-
ally Oh the floor of the granary, and
about one honr later he nailed up
the hole. Then calling his dog "a
Spanish tcrrier) and arming himself
with a club. he went forth to battle.
"Now, the door to the granary is
fastened with long wooden latch
extending clear across it, and can
only be opened from the outside,
and MIR. L., on entering the granary,
drew TIE door shut and heard the
latch fall. He then though that the
enemy was his, but this was an cr.
ror. The rats were more numerous
than he expected, and finding no
way Of escape, they attacked both
him and his dog with great fury.
Mr. L. laid on his blows hard and
fast, and one blow, aim at II rat, un.
fortunately hit his dog on the head
and killed him.
"Being thus deprived of his faith
ful ally he would have fed, but
could not and he then commenced
calling for help. The rats mean.
while kept skirmishing around his
legs. ran up his body, bit his hands,
and one bolder than the rest bit his
nose. 1t is impossible to say what
the result of this unequal contest
would have been had not passing
neighbor, attracted 10y the noise and
cries, gone to the relief. When res
cueG he presented IA shocking spec.
tacle. his face and hands bloody,
and his clothes torn into shreds.
"When his wounds were cared
for he hit on a better plan of warfare.
Borrowing twelve cats, which, with
his own, made fifteen, he in the eve
ming shut them up in the granary
with the rats, and the next morn
ing he found, on examination, ten
dead cats, one blind, and two with
one eye apiece. The remaining two
were unhurt, and by actual count
found one hundred and nineteen
dead rats. OF the dead dog there
was nothing left but the bones and
hair, the rats doubtless having eat
Ell him while Mr.. Lavcrty was hunt
ing cats"

KEEP YOUR PROMISE. A boy
borrowed tool from carpenter
promising to return it at night
Before evening he was sent away
on an errand and did not return
until late. Before he went he was
, told that his brother should see the
article returned.
After he had come home and
gone to bed, he inquired, and found
that the tool had not been sent to
it's owner. He was much distressed
to think his promise had not been
kept, but was persuaded to 90 to
sleep, and rise early and carry 1t
home the next morning.
BY daylight he was up, and no.
where was the tool to be found.
After a long and fruitless search, he
set off for his neighbOr's in great
distress, to acknowledge his fault.
But how great was his surprise to
find the tool on his neighbOr's door
stone! And then it appeared, from
the print of his little bare feet in
the mud, that the lad had got up in
his sleep and carried the tool home.
and gone to bed again, without
knowing it. ..
Of course boy who was prompt
in his sleep was prompt when awake.
He lived respected, had the conf
denc of his neighbors, and was
placed in many Off ces of trust and
profit.
If all grown folks felt as this boy
did, there would be q good many
tracks of bare feet found some of
these bright mornings; and what
piles of tools and books would be
found at their owners doors =

A TIMELY SUGGESTION.

A TIMELY SUGGESTION. The
wear and tear of winter render re-
pairs of some kind necessary in al
most every house, but it is usual to
defer making them until later III
the season. Why could not such
work be given out now, and thus
supply bread to some who are so
sorely in need of it7 1t is quite a
mistake to think that work can be
done more cheaply a month or two
hence, when the rush and hurry be-
gin. This is the time to get a full
days work, and to avoid the need
of having a house disordcred weeks
at a time when over crowded me-
chanics are rushing here and there,
keeping a dozen jobs going at once.
Owners and occupants of houses
would consult their own interests,
besides helping deserving men, if
they would send for the carpenter,
the plumber, the painter, and any
others whose services are needed
now. Ladies', too, whose spring
sewing begins to loom up before
them as formidable task to be con
quered, could find, now, scores of
respectable sewing girls to whom
would be most accept
able, and who could not be so read
lily secured during the coming
month, when evey one wants them
at once.-BOstOn advertiser.

MRS. GORDON'S LOT.

1t not unfrequently happens tha
men who are doing business arr
quite ignorant of how they stand
and when death intervenes theiI
families are left unprovided for
Such was the case with William
Gordon. He was stricken down
suddenly, and died in less than a
week from the time of his attack
His family had scarcely reused
themselves from the grief which this
bereavement brought with it, when
they were called upon to bear anoth.
er. 1t was found that on settling
up Mr.. Gordon's affairs not more
than a couple of hundred dollars
were left for the maintenance of his
family. In addition to this, though
it was hardly thought worth men,
tioning, there was tract of land
located somewhere in Illinois, which
Mr.. Cor Ion had purchased some
years back for a mere song, and
which was probably worth no more
now than at that time.
The Gordon family consisted, be.
sides Mrs. Gordon, of two children,
one Il daughter of eighteen, the 9TH
er a boy of twelve. Isabel Gordon
was attractive both in mind and
person, and before her fathers de-
cease had been quite belle in So
ciety. Then, however, her father
was thought to be wealthy. Now
that the family were almost penni-
less change quickly took place.
Those who had before been consid-
cred intimate friends became chilly
in their manners and seldom called.
Still there was one ground Of hope
left, Isabel had been sought in mar
riage by young man in an excel
lent business producing a large in-
come, and at her marriage her moth
cr aud brother would undoubtedly
be invited to make their home with
her husband. But failing prosperi-
ty was touchstone which revealed
the inherent baseness of Gerald
Rhodes. He did not call upon the
family for some time after their af-
At length he called but

that cargo of jisinfectants has been
ordered by the board of - for this
Borough. This move toward protect
ing the healths and lives of our citizens
is quite commeudable. All the alleys
and several of the less frequentcd
streets are rendered almost impossible
by the huge piles of dead and decom-

because there is no room elsewhere.
