VARIETIES.


sonable education prevents the
wives and the children of working
men from helping to bear the load
which presses so heavily on the IA
tf1er of family.
Be kind to all, rich and poor alike.
The great duty of life is not to give
pain; and the most acute reasoner
cannot find an excuse for one who
voluntarily wounds the heart of a
fellow creature.
The man who is married for mere
worldly motives, without a spark of
affection on the woman's part, may
nevertheless get in every sense of
the word, good wife; but when a
woman is married tor the sake of
her fortune the case is altered, and
the chances are a hundred to one
that she marries villain.
Love dies in the calm rather than
in the tempest. No man or woman
was ever cured of love by discover
ing the falseness of his or her lover
1t is surprising that so many peo-
pie live without taking thought for
the morrow. Reckless expenditure
to insure ease tor the present seems
to be the order of the day.
1t is with little-souled people as it
is with narrow-necked bottles-the
less they have in them the more
noise they make in pouring out.
In the library of the world men
have hitherto been ranged accord
ing to the form, the size and the
binding. The time is coming when
they will take rank and order accor
ding to their contents and intrinsic
merits.
1t was among the loveliest Gus
toms of the ancients to bury the
young at morning twilight; for as
they strove to give the softest inter-
probation to death, so they imagined
that Aurora, who loved the young,
had stolen them to her embrace.
Nothing can be more ungenerous
than to infer too much of a mans
character from his days of boyhood.
The dullest youths are often fathers
to the most intelligent men; and the
schooling of society has converted
many boor and many a bear into
fine and entertaining companions.
We are ruined, not by what we
really want, but by what we think
we do; therefore never go abroad
in search of your wants. If they be
real wants they will come home in
search of you; for he that buys
what he does not want will soon
want what he cannot buy.
Absence destroys small passions
and increases great ones, as the wind
extinguishes tapers and kindles
fires.
Bailey, the Danbury man, writes
from England that the English are
generally bow-legged, notwithstand-
ing their advantages during the past
three centuries. He attributes it to
their standing on their feet at an ex-
tremely early age admiring the as
pect of their public debt. He con-
cludes that sit is what might be call
ed the bow-legacy of the national
debt" This is the severest effort at
pun making that we have seen of
late. 1t is not Legitimate.
If the times are hard stop your
paper, but do not shorten your al
iowance for whisky or tobacco. A
good paper in a family is a great
comfort to the wife and children but
that is no reason why you should
provide them with weekly luxury
at the expense of daily necessity.
A Western editor having been IN
vited to masquerade ball given by
a club in the town where he lived,
In acknowledging the invitation
said:-"There is a quiet sarcasm,
though Of course not intended, in
inviting a country editor who has
but one suit, and that a poor one, to
such an affair without accompanying
the compliment with the necessary
clothes. Were we to accept, we
should be compelled to appear in the
character of adam before the fall
This, though painful to admit, it
literally the naked truth"
The vilest sinner may return-
