If we would build on a sure foundation
in friendship, we must love our friends for
their sakes rather than our own
A wise man in the company Of those who
are ignorant has been compared by sages to a
beautiful girl in the company of blind men.
Nature has sometimes made a fool but
coxcomb Is always of mans own making.
He is not only idle who does nothing, but
he is idle who might be better employed
+ When fortune means to men most g o. she
looks upon them with threatening eye.
A proper secrecy is the only mystery Of able
men mystery is the only secrecy Of weak and
cunning ones.
Real friendship is a slow grower anil never
thrives unless engrafted upon stock Of
known and reciprocal merit.
The offender never pardons.
To live long it is necessary to live slowly.
Nature and wisdom always say the SAM.
Nobility should be elective, not hereditary.

PooR KEwARp.--Yesterday an auburn
haired lad of ten Summers, living on Beach
Street, got down the big silver castor, during
his mothers absence, and, as he rolled it back
and forth across the kitchen, he sang, "Dear-
est mother, thou hast left u.s."
Ee hadn't been playing great while before
she came in, and what happened my be judg-
cd from the expression he used as he sat down
In the weeds behind the woodshed, viz:
"I'lltear her Sunday bonnet up to pay for
that"

A GOLDEN MOTTO" count only the
hours that are SERENE" is the motto of a sun
dial near Venice. There is a softness and
harmony in the words and in the thought un.
paralleled. OF all conceits it is surely the
most classical. 81 count only the hours that
are serene" What bland and care-dispell-
ing feeling! How the shadows fade on the
dial plate as the sky lowers, and time presents
only blank unless as its progress is marked
by what is joyous, and all that is not happy
sinks into oblivion What a fine lesson is
conveyed to the mind-to keep no note o
time but by its benefits to watch only for the
smiles and neglect the irowns of fate, to com
pose our lives Of bright and gentle moments
turning always to the sunny side of things
and letting the rest slip from our imagina
tions, unheeeed or forgotten How different
from the common art of self-tormenting

THE MEANING OF wonDs.-ft Is very I'm.
portant to understand the meaning of words
when dealing with some people. An oil deafs
er sold some winter oil that was warranted to
stand the severcst cold. Shortly afterward it
froze stiff. The purchaser went to the vendor
with loud complaints. 81 told you it would
stand the coolest weather, said he, II didn't
tell you 1t would run" This reminds MS of
the farmer who did not dare to tell his inqisi-
tive neighbor where he was riding early in tie
morning, and when the question was put he
replied. "After my horse" and drove off.
Mr.. Inquisitive saw the point Of the joke after
his neighbor was out Of sight.

COULDN'T Fool HER.--There were ti}r6e'of
them-a man and two women. They saw
the sign Of "Arctic soda water y swinging id
the breeze, and they went in, and the man
said they'd take about three drinks.
"What syrupS" asked the confectionery.
The mans wife who was one Of the two wo.
men turned her husband around SO that his
back was to the fountain, and then said
Now, William, il you want lemon and
vanilla, or vanilla and cream, speak right up,
for you won't have chance to say vanilla aid
cream, and wink at him for to put in whis.
key"
The husbands countenance fell, but he had
to quietly submit. He has been wondering
ever since how his wife could have dropped on
the practice.

Until within few years ago the ceremony
of carving was always performed by the mis-
tress of the house. In the last century this
task must hare required no small share of
bodily strength, for the lady was not only to
inyite-that is, urge and teaze her guests to
eat more than human throats conveniently
could swallaw--5ut to carve every dish, when
chosen, with her own hands. The greater the
lady, ths more indispensable was the duty !;
each joint was carried up to be operated on in
its turn by her alone. The peers and knights
on either hand were SO far from being bound
to offer choir assistance that the very master
Of the house himself, posted opposite to her,
might los Offer his assistance. His depart
n,ent was to push the bottle after dinner. As
for The crowd Of guests, the most inconsidera-
bic among them-the curate or subaltern, or
the souire's younger brother-if suffered,
through her neglect, to help himself to slice
of mutton placed before him, would have
chewed 1t in bitterness and gone home an at
fronted man, half inclined to give a wrong
vote at the next election. There were then
professional carying-masters who taught
young ladies scienti fioally. In the letters of
Lady Mary Montague, she mentions having
taken lessons three times a week, that she
might be perfect when called upon to preside
at her fathers table. In order to perform her
functions without interruption she was forced
to have her own dinner alone an hour OF two
beforehand.

is no remainder, add a cipher. Now take
257, and multiply by 8; there is 1885. Di

A GERMAN PARLoR.-The door generally
opens In the middle--the left half being bolt
ed to the floor--the latches turning by hand
les instead of round knobs. In one corner OF
the room there is tall white stove. In tre
adjoining angle the centre-table Is pinning
the stiff-backed sofa against the wall, and
four runSless chairs are solemnly watching
the operation There are flower-stands in
the slimly curtained windows, and the pallid
walls are enriched by half dozen engrav-
ings, probably hung away.
Between the windows is mirror reaching
nearly from floor to ceiling but, instead of
being one sheet of glass, it consists of three
or four sections, the line of junction generally
con.riving to maintain the same level as our
line of sight.
The floor is of bare boards, painted brown
sh yellow and polshed-or, in the newer
houses it is parqueted and waxed, SO that it
reflects the ceiling, and is perilous to walk on
It is seldom, however, left wholly bare, unless
in the heat Of summer the expanse is tenn
pered with rugs--a large one beneath the ia
BILE and smaller satellites in various parts Of
the room. The Punishment of full grown
carpets is by no means an unmitigated blum
der. The polished floor communicates sort
of dignity to the legs of the chairs and tables.
If there is dirt anywhere it is Immediately
visible, and the rugs can be thrashed every
day without disordering anything. In winter,

bare boards which in summer is a luxury.

A bft1NITY IN FaE hEPtBzic

If the Catholic clergy, as well as laity, had
been content to enjoy the secular education Of
the schools, and give their religious, instruc-
tions in the family and lii their churches, the
controversy would be ended happily ended.
But the Catholic clergy are not yet prepar-
ed for this. They have; in other countries,
for many ages, had supervision Of the secular
as well as religious education of tho young,
and they claim it here. In this think they
are mistaken and that strong and well or
gahined as the Catholic clergy are, they are
attempting ali impossibility. They have
faith in the divinity OF their church. But
they will have to learn in America that there
is a divinity in the Republic as impregnable
and more potent than that which ahy Church
organizations can bring against it, They
should reconcile themselves to the ground they
have achieyed-that of equality and justice as
between all Chtrches. To attempt more, and
insist on division Of the school fund, or a
destruction of the system, will accomplish no
good, and will, as it is now doing, excite the
most powerful and inflexible opposition to
them and to any party which shall delude
them with its proffered friendship. This
say in no spirit of personal hostility to the
Catholic clergy. do not regard them as
other than honest, religious men, nor as seek
ing what they suppose they are not entitled to.

to prosecute or maligff them. But in my

wonder il oak and maple,
Willow and elm and all,
Are stirred at heart blythe coming
OF the day that leaves must fall.
Do they think Of the yellow vhfrlwind,
Or of the crimson spray,
That shall be when chill November
Bears all the leaves away?
+" II die we must,n the leaflets
Seem one by one to say,
"We will wear the colors of all the earth
Until we pass away.
No eyes shall see us falter;
And before we lay it down
Well wear in the sight of all the earth
The years most kingly crown"
So trees of the stately forest,
And trees by the trodden way,
You are kindling into glory
This soft, autumnal day,
And we who gaze remember
That more than all they lost,
To hearts and trees together
May come through ripening frost.

Mr.. Webster was in President Harrison's
cabinet. Harrison never forgot his Plutarch:
This his inaugural showed. II was full IL
classic illusions. A friend met Webster tie
day Of the message, and said !:
"What is the matter with you, Mr. Webs
ster? You seem agitated.''
"Agitated, sir ] And who wouii not feel
agitatsd that had committed murder?'
A murder, Mr.. Webster?''
Ay, sir, said the god-like, murder, with
malice aforethought, of Iknow not how many
Greeks and Romans -
Upon the SUBJ Treasury debate Mr.. Web.

erything except condensed logic Mr.. CAL
houn rarely INDUCED in the luxury Of laugh.
Whils Webster's wit was btterless, he used
it unspairingly. 1t was tart and pungent..
But who could complain of his friendly, refin-

rupt transfer of Calhoun into another party,
he referred to a sentimental German play -
Two men met at an inn. One cries out,

1t was the second time he had accompanied
the young lady home from one of those little
social parties which are gotten up to bring
fond hearts step NEARER to each other.
When they reached the gate she asked him
if he wouldn't come in. He said he would
and he followed her into the house. It was
calm, still night and the hour was so late
that he had no fear of seeing the old folks.
Sarah took his hat, told him to sit down, and
she left the room to take off her things She
was hardly gone when her mother came i'd,
smiled sweetly, and dropped down beside the
young man, she said
81 always did say If poor but respectable
young man fell in love with Sarah he would
have my consent. Some mothers would sac
rifice their daughters happiness for riches,
but am not one of that Glass;
The young man gave a start of alarm. He
did know whether he liked Sarah or not, and
he hadn't dreamed Of srch thing as marriage.
"She has acknowledged to me that she
loves you, !" continued the mother, "and what
ever is for her happiness is for mine."
The young man gave two starts of alarm
this time, and he felt his cheeks grow pale.

she said

1t was a bad situation. He hadn't even
looked love at Sarah, and felt that he ought
to undeeeive the mother.

when she held up her hands and said:
Il know you hadn't but it's all right.

But, madam, but--but-o

terrupted the mother. "Sarah has a loving
heart and tender nature and if you should
be cross and ugly it would break her down in
week."
The young mans eyes stood out like cocoa
nuts in a show window, and he rose up and
tried to say something. He said
"Great heavens madam can't permit"
"Never mind about the thanks, she inter-
rupted. "I don't believe in long courtships
myself and let me suggest an early day for

soab in sheep and is Cure,


Il is clearly ascertained BY scientific
men that the soab IN sheep, like the itch
10 the human being, is connected with and
propagated BY certain minute insects which
inhabit pimples or pustules. But theques
ton naturally arises. how came it first into
existence. Some affirm that ii requires
sheep to come in contact with the disease
before il can be communicated, while
Others maintain that the disease is propa.
gated BY the mere travelling on the road.
The cure Of seab lies in the destruction Of
the insect, but the important question is,
what is the best composition or infusion
for that purpose? The remedies that are
commonly applied are numerous, but most
