DON'T TELL ALL You KNow.-It is a bad
plan to place unreserved confidence in man
pr woman. Never tell anyone everything
about yourself; let there be a little mystery
and reserve if your friends, they will like
you all the better for it. A book that YOU
I know by heart" must inevitably be cast
aside for a fresh volume; so will you be
served if you allow yourself to be thorough
y read. But be prepared, in any emergency,
to look your w life and acts squarely in
fine face without fiinching, or marking your
self a coward.
1t is notnecessary to publish to theeworld
all that is strictly personal, unless ridicule
and fritteFing OF power are desired. but if
gossip makes itself busy with your name, do
not be aggfieved if a grain of truth is spread
over q dozen lies. Pass them by in silence,
and do rot even then forget your habitt,al
frcticence. Justice will be done youin time,
never fear, and the less clamor for 1.-THE bet
ter. DON'T talk too much.
a TRUE LADY, was once walking a
short distance behind a very handsomely
dressed young girl, and as | looked at her
beautiful clothes, wondered if she took half
as much pains with her heart as she did with
her body. A poor old man was coming up
the walk with q loaded w~heel-barrow. and
Just before he reached us he made two at
tempts to go into the yard of a house; but
the gate was heavy, and would swing back
before he'could get in.
"Wait," said the young girl, hurrying for
ward "Ill hold the gate open"
She held the gate till he passed in, and re-
ceiving his thanks with a pleasant smile,
passed on.
"She deserves to have beautiful clothes
| thought for a beautiful spirit dwells with
in her breast.
HORRIBLE DIscLosUREs.-A rich wine
dealer residing in London, recently, on his
deatl-bed, being in greatdistress Of mind,
acknowledged to his friends that his agony
was occasioned by the nature of the bus
mess he had followed for years. He stated
that it had been his habit to purchase all
the sour wines he could, and by making use
of lead and other deleterious substances, to
restore the wine to palatable taste. He said
he had no doubt that he had been the means
of destroying hundreds of lives. as he had for
some time noticed the injurious effects of
his mixtures on those who drank them.
He had'seen instances of this kind where
the unconscious victims of his cupidity, af-
ter wasting and declining for years, despite
the best of medical advice, went to their
graves poisoned by the adulterated wines
he had sold them. This man died rich.
But alas! what a legacy did he leave his
children?
Old Sambo Shute, long since across the
dark valley, was a worthy man in his way,
and genial withal but Sambo would occa-
sionly get drunk, One day his employer
took, him to taskrand read him a lecture,
at the close of which he asked him if he
didn't think he'd do better in the future.
"Don'o, mas'r," said the darkey, scratch
ing his head.
.But what do you think?"
swell mas'r Use afraid I tllinknot."
s.Sambo, what do you mean. DO YOU
mean that you will not try?'
s.,TWouldn't be no use mas'r. Fact is,
twas born in me. Rum is my nat'ral drink.
Yer see, afore | was born, my father and
mother were bot bought on the coast of
Africa, and paid for in rum.
