THERE is one advantage in having a
fool in every social clique. He keeps all
the rest from making themselves ridicu-
lous some time or other.

A FAIR reputation is a plant delicate
in its nature and by no means rapid in
its growth. It will shoot up in night
like the gourd of the prophet; but,
like that gould, it may perish in the

If we need strong will, in order to
do good, it is more necessary for us still
in order not to do evil, from which it
often results that the most modest life Is
that where the force of will is most exer-

THOUGHTS AEp WORDS.
Writer, whosoever thou art,
Speaker, on whatever theme,
Write and speak from heart to heart,
Truly being what you seem;
Thoughts and words alone have power,
When they reach us quick and fresh,
And the spirit of the hour
Turns these stones to hearts of flesh.
LET every wealthy man who fails to
bring up his children to industry and
usefulness, rather leaving them to in
dulge in "great expectations" bear in
mind that the boy born with the silver
spoon in his mouth frequently has to
taste pewter before his pilgrimage isover.
Indeed it may be his misfortune to be
splashed with mud from the carriage
wheels of one who had been servant
when he was idling away his time in an
ticipation of the future. @
About hundred years ago some good
old soul left house and garden in the
city of London as perpetual mainte-
nance of three poor women and cat.
The property is now worth 100000
year. The poor women and their cat,
friends of the trustees, are maintained;
and the rest of the income e39, $50 per
annuln, is expended in salaries on uncles,
aunts, and cousins, appointed as secre-
taries, treasurers, chaplains, visitors, etc.,
who see to the proper distribution of
aims, chatechise the old women and
stroke the cat. l'' II aE 4ss
FISHING for crocodiles on the Nile isa
sport which would have done Izaak
Walton's heart good. A big boat isequip-
ped, with windlass and strong line, to
which is added fine goose, with a
strong hook under each pinion. The
whole is turned adrift, and before long
crocodile comes up, seizes the goose, and
tows the boat rapidly down stream.
After he has wearied himself by drag
ging the boat for while, the line is
pulled in, the monsters head appears on
the surface and bullet is adroitly
lodged in his eye.
