BRETTTIES.

Fear is the mother of foresight.
Best men oft are nodded out of faults.
Men find it more easy to hatter than
to praise.
Flattery is like base coin; it impover-
ishes him who receives it.
The plants look up to Heaven, from
whence they receive their nourishment.
A fool is often as dangerous to deal
with as knave, and always more incor-
rigible.
Wealth and poverty are seen for what
they are. 1t begins to be seen that the
poor are only they who feel poor, and
poverty consists in feeling poor. The
rich. as we reckon them; and among
them the very rich, in true scale, would
be found very INDECENT and ragged.
Pride counterbalances all our myster-
les it either hides them, or discloses
them, and boasts of that disclosure.
Pride has such a thorough possession of
us, even in the midst of our miseries and
faults, that we are prepared to sacrifice
life with joy, if it may be talked of.
A man'sgenius is always, in the begin
ming Of life, as much unknown to himself
as to others; and it is only after frequent
trials, attended with success, that he
dares think himself equal to the under
takings in which those who have sue
ceeded have fixed the admiration of
mankind
Whatever mitigates the woes or in
creases the happiness of others is just
criterion of goodness; and whatever in
jures society at large, or any individual in
it, is a criterion of iniquity. One should
not quarrel with dog without reason
sufficienttO vindiCate one through all the
courts of morality.

HOW TO LIGHT A FIRE.

All housekeepers have sometimes re-
allied the difficulty of lighting a fire on
still, damp morning, when the Chin
ney will not draw, and vigorous blowing
proves Intellectual. Science explains the
trouble as caused by the difficulty encoun-
tered in overcoming the inertia of the
long column of air in the pipe or Chin
ney, by the small column ofair that can
be forced up.through the interstices of
wood and coal, at the bottom of which
the fire is kindled." This may be rem
eded by first lighting few bits of shay
ings or paper placed upon the top; thus,
by the heated air forcing itself into the
chimney and establishing there an up
ward current, the room is kept free from
the gas or smoke which is so apt to fill
the room; and the fire can then be light
ed from below. with good success.

HIS DYING MESsAGE.-A single shot
followed by loud shrek told us that one
of my best men Bradley was hurt. He
proclaimed his agony with loud voice,
turned over on his back and commenced
kicking so vigorously that the surgeon
had difficulty in getting near him.
"Poor fellow p said the doctor, "shot
in the bladder. am afraid it is fatal.
ooh ! my God" said Bradley, lam a
dead man !"
"Keep up your spirits, my boy, never
say die" said Capt. Johnson, kneeling
kindly over him.
Doctor" asked the wounded soldier,
feebly, will you write to my mother that
died braveIy, doing my duty. with my
face to the foe, and that | thought of her
when was dying?"
"Yes," said the doctor, with dim eyes
and a husky voice, 81 will write to her
and tell her, too"
But suddenly springing to his feet, with
an indignant voice, he said
"Why, confound it, man, you're not
hurt bit. 1t is only your canteen that's
shot? Get up, will your"
Bradley raised up slowly, felt himself
all over, and with an exceedingly foolish
crawled back to his position,
amid the uproarious laughter of his regi-
ment. And for months after that, on the
march, in the camp, and sometimes in
the night, you might hear voice in one
direction demanding, "What shall | tell
your mother?" and perhaps half dozen
responses would be heard Tell her |
died with my face to the foe, and then
Bradley would search for the man who
said it He seldom found him, but when
he did there was certain to be fight

The elephant in Montgomery Queen S
Circus, San Francisco, discovered pock-
ct in the back part of girls dress, as
she was leaning against the rope and
looking the other way. He reached in
with his trunk and brought out an apple,
which he ate. Another trial yielded a
package of gumdrops' and third some
peanuts. Again he essayed and got hold
Of bottle of ammonia, the contents Of
which went the way ofthe apple, the'can-
dy and the peanuts. Instantly the resent.
full elephant obliterated the girls hustle,
filling the air with bits of cloth, newspa-
per and whalebone. They covered her
with shawl and took her home.

A LECTURER once enumerated the quail
ifcations off good wife in the following
antithesis of "To be and not to be-" She
should be like three things, and yet she
should not be like those three things.
First, she should be like a snail, always
keep within her own house; but she
should not be like snail, and carry all
she has upon her back. Secondly, she
should be like an echo, to speak when
she is spoken to; but she should not be
like an echo, always to have the last
word. Thirdly, she should be like a
town-clock, always keep time and regu-
larity; but she should not be like town
clock, to speak so loud that all the town
may hear her.

From the German of Gellett, by J. G. SAKE
THE HEN AND THE HONEY. BEE.

A lazy Hen-the story goes
Loquacous, pert, and selfConceited,
Espied Bee upon rose,
And thus the busy insect greeted
Say, what's the use of such as you,
Excuse the freedom of a neghborD
Who gad about, and never do
A single act of useful labor2
'Ivc marked you well for many day,
In garden blooms and meadow clover;
Now here, now there, in wantOn play;
From morn to night al idle rover.
while dlscreetly blde at home,
faithful wife-the best of mothers
About the fields you idly roam,
Without the least regard for Others
"While lay eggs, or hatch them out,
You seek the flowers most sweet and fragrant
And, slipping honey, stroll about,
At best goodfOr-nothing vagrant"
NAY said the Bee, you do me wrong;
I'm useful too perhaps you doubt 1t,
Because-though toiling all day long
Iscorn to make a fuss about it
while you, with every egg that cheers
Your daily task, must stop and hammer
The news in other peoples ears,
Till they are deafened with the clamor
"Come now with me, and see my hive,
And note how folks may work In quiet;
To useful arts much more alive
Than you with all your cackling riot!

WHAT MAKES Il MIN.


truthful soul, loving mind,
Full ofaflectlon for It's kind
spirit firm, erect and free,
That never basely bends a knee;
That Will not bear feathers weight
Ofslavery's chains for small or great;
That truly speaks from God within;
That never makes league with sin;
That snaps the fetters despots make;
That loves the truth for lis own sake;
That worShlps God and Him alone,
And bows no more than at His throne;
And trembles at no tyrants nod;
soul that fears no one but God
And thus can smile at curse or ban
This Is the soul that makes a man
WHAT MAKES A WOMAN.
No courtly dress nor queenly air;
Not JeWeled hand, complexion fair;
Not graceful form nor lofty tread,
Not paint nor eurlS, nor splendid head
Not peArly teeth nor sparkling eyes;
Not voice that nightingale Outvles,
Got breath as swee as eglantine;
Not gaudy gems, nor fabrics fine,
Not all the stories of fashions mart,
Nor yet the Establishment of art;
Not one nor all of these combined,
Can make one won an true, refined.
IT'S not the casket that we prize,
But that which in the casket lies
These outward charms that please the sight
Are naught unless the heart be bright

A noble Indian of Wisconsin carries
about with him the following certificate,
written for him by some obliging white
man: "This may certify that the bearer
is an aboriginal cuss in whom there is no
guilt. He never lifted a scalp nor rob,
bed hen roost in daylight. He is the
father of some of his children, and uses
no cologne. He has that noble attribute
of his race, an untutored mind. His
squaw has gone to the spirit land, and
he wishes to visit that earthly land of
spirits where troubles are forgotten at the
rate of ten cents spirit. Herespectfully
asketh aid of the pale faces. No order
for groceries received"

IT is harder to bring up one child well
thar six. In large family, the children
help to bring up one another up. 1t is
not merely that the elder ones assist in
taking care of the younger, but they all
influence one another proftably in other
ways; vanity is sometimes laughed into
modesty, and arrogance is snubbed into
humility. Each child is kept constantly
in mind that others have rights, and feel
ings, and preferences, as well as himself;
he forms the habit of considering those
rights, feelings, and preferences; and he
is thus prepared to "get along" as we
say. with those among whose lot he may
be cast.

WHY THEY DoNT.-They were sitting
together, he and she, and he was ardu-

burst out with-"In this land of noble

HIDDEN SHOALS "A ship on the broad
boisterous, and open ocean needeth no
pilot. But it dare not venture alone on
the placid bosom of little river, lest it
be wrecked on some hidden rock. Thus
it is with life. 'Tis not in our open, ex-
posed deeds that we need the still voice
of the silent monitor, but in the small,
secret, every day acts of life, that con-
science warns us to beware of the hidden
shoals ofwhat we deem too common to
be dangerous.

WE hater Ourselves-we bearded boys
That we are deep and can conceal
All that we know and do and feel
Our business sorrows and club house joys
From the innocent creatures who make our tea
But believe me, sir, they can see.
As if your Glove or cardamon seed
Could hide your guilt in wine and weed
All foolish mortal, do you suppose
That only to sniff the scent of a rose,
And not the odOr that's in your clothes,
She's got that sweet little, pert little nose?
Yourscreen is only pane of glass,
Through which she sees that you are-alas!-
By no means the lion you think within,
But long cared thing in lions skin.

THE YEARS.

Why do we heap huge mounds Of years
Before us and behind,
And scorn the little days that pass
Like angels on the wind?
Each, turning round a small sweet face
AS beautiful as near,
Because 1t IS so small face
We will not see it clear
And so 1t turns from us, and goes
Away IN sad disdain;
Though we could give our lives for It,
Itnever comes again.
