Words Of Wisdom.

The Divine Mind is the ocean from which
all truth risinally springs, and to which it
ultimately returns. To trace out the shores
of that shoreess sea ; to measure its meas
ureless extent. and to fathom its unfathom-
able depths, will he the noble and joyous
work of eternal ages. Hitchcock.
There are persons of that general phil
anthropy and easy tempers, which the world
in contempt, generally calls good-natured,
who seem to be sent into the world with
the same design with which men put little
q sh into pike pond, in order to be de-
voured by that voracious water hero.
Fielding.
A kings jester was once asked, "What
kind of place do you think heaven to be?'
ga place." he said, "where naught but
good is spoken of the neighbor." "And in
what" it was again asked, "does its SUI
preme happiness consist?" SIN the feeling
that no one will SANDER me there, and that
if have any faults, it will be so unfash-
onable to speak of them that I and you
will soon forget them" ~
Nature, before it has been touched by
man, is almost always beautiful, strong and
cheerful in mans eyes; but nature, when
he has once given it his culture and then
torsaken it, has usually an air OF sorrow
and helplessness. He has made it live the
more by laying his hand upon 1t and touch
ing it with his life. 1t has come to relish
of his humanity and it is so favored with
his thoughts and ordered and pcrmeated by
his spirit, that if the stimulus of his pres
ence 10 withdrawn it cannot for a long
while do without him and live for itself as
fully and as we'll as it did before. Jean
Ingelow. ~ rs
After the shower the tranquil sun;
silver stars when the day is done.
After the snow the emerald leaves; AZ
After the harvest, golden sheayes.
After the clouds, the violet sky;'
Quiet woods when the winds go by.
After the tempest the, the lulf OF waves;
After the kneli The wedding bells;
Joyful greeting from sad farewells;
After the bud, the radiant rose;
After our weeping, sweet rrpose.
After the burden, the blissful need;
After the flrrow, the waking seed.
Afcer the night the downy nest;

Money and its problems are the best of
all topics for political controversy and
very bad topic. The discussion of it led
to blows and bloodshed. All questions of
moral and conscience are bad in politics.
But these money questions are, as my girls
say, ',just SPLENDID" Everybody knows
so much, and knows it for certain. There
are so many selfevident truths, the which
if any man deny, he Is doubtless ne better
than an ass By and by, if the discussion
continues and party lines are drawn and
one doctrine or the other controls legisls-
ton, all goes we'll, no matter which doc
trine prevails. Because, whstever tinan-
cal policy may be adopted, there will come
to pass about once in twenty years or less
Revision or panic. The patty in power
at such a time must take the responsibility
of the panic. The 'intellgent masses
will rush to the other party or the opposite
doctrines for belief. Thus will come to
pass series of bloodless political equili.
brations, to detect and contemplate which
is ever delight to the phlosophic mind.
Thomas X. Beecher, in the Independent.
