! Women, last at the cross, and earliest
at the grave.
Woman see through Claude Loraines.
Women's honor is nice as ermine-
! will not bear soil.
Most men like in women what's most
opposite their own characters.
A woman who has never been pretty
has never been young.
Wisdom, is the talent of buying vir-
tuous pleasures at the, cheapest rate.
The weak have remedies, the wise
have joys; superior wisdom is SUI erior
bliss.
Call him wise whose actions, words
and steps are all clear because to clear
way. e
Much of this worlds wisd I'm is ac-
qulred by necromancy-by consulting
the oracllar dead.
Wisdom may be the ultimate arbiter,
but it is seldom the immediate agent, in
human affairs.
That is treacherous friend against
whom you must be always on your
guard. Such friend is VINE. "
What you leave at your death, let 1t
be without controversy, else the lawyers
will be your heirs.
Men In general are so tricky, so
envious and so cruel, that we are but
too happy when we find one who is

= Wealth, after all, is relative thing
since he that has little and wants less,
Is richer than he that has much, but
wants..more.
Wherever there is excessive wealth,
there is also in the train of it excessive
poverty as where the sun is brightest
the shade is deepest.
Wealth is weak anchor. and glory
can not support man this is law of
God, that virtue only is firm and can not
be shaken by a tempest.
Money and time are the heaviest
burdens Of life, and the unhappiest Of
all mortals are those who have more of
either than they know how to use.
Many a beggar at the cfosswav, or
grayhaired shepherd on the plain, hath
more of the end Of all wealth than
hundreds who multiply the means.

He Knew How to Ring Dat Bell.

Colonel Thomas L. Anderson came
to town last Wednesday, and his
friends importuned him to speak on
the issues Of the day. He consented,
and q Grief, was sent abroad with
hill to proclaim the tidings. The
crier was Johnny Booker, colored
youth. He was told to proclaim that
Colonel Thomas L. Anderson, of
Palmyra, would speak on the ''green..
back and; Peter Cooper question"
He got it all right the first time, but
the next time be mixed it as follows;
:Peter Anderson, of Palmyra, will
speak on the Thomas L. Cooper
question right way"
He thought there was something
wrong about this, and when he got
about two squares he rubbed his wool
depot against all awning post and
yelled:

was her Will, and he must submit. Sc
he went down and pad, the. grocery
! bill, and on his way home, hs sold
his gold chain for thirteen dollars. =
He felt happier now, and was ready
to commence on the next quarter.
On the next Monday morning the
young man went into the meat store
to send home q piece Of beef for
diuner.
"How much will you haves" the
butcher asked.
ooh, three or four"
Charles got thus far aud then he
stopped. He had always been in the
habit Of ordering an indefinite guam
tity and leaving the butcher to cut
off the highest figure and charge the
highest price and then he remems
bered. how much was usually wanted.
'Let' me have. two pounds" he
said. He stopped and saw it weighed
and then paid for it.
When be went home at noon be
found that his two pounds of beef
was enough for good dinner. The
next morning he went to the store.
Mr.. Waldron had some nice figs, Just
come in, which he showed. They
were twenty-five cents a pound. For
a moment Charles .hesitated, but as he
remembered that he had got to pay
for all he bought he concluded not to
take them, He. found that things
were not so enticing as when the
payment could be postponed. He
paid for what he bought and went bis
way and thus things went on
through the week. When it came
Saturday night he knew all the
money in his pocket was his own,
after deducting the rent. That eve,
ming he went over to the market with
Wilkins, and bought as much vege>
tables and meat as he thought would
last through the week He found he
had made saving of at least 20 per
cent. and when the opportunity offered
he made the same saving in other
matters. ,
AT the end of that quarter Charles
Mathews did not have to get a slate
He paid his house rent and then
found lie had thirty-hve dollars left
in his pocket. That was his-he did
not owe penny of it.
''Ah, Hannah said he, as he held
the money in his hand and looked it
over, ''now I see how easy it is for
man to be wrong and his wife right.
fhis money all comes Of paying as l
go. along. i, It,is very easy and simple
to cry Just charge it., and man
can easily buy things under such
circumstances, but when the day of
reck onlng comes these simple words
that sound so innocent when spoken
are found to be costly things. l did
not believe it until l., tried it. 1
could not have believed that a man
would purchase so many useless arti-
Giles simply because he could have
them charged. But see it now, and
if | refused to follow your advice at
first,I have grined experience enough
to follow it more implicitly now"
Charles Mathews never allowed
himself to be led away by The credit
system, but has followed the cash rule
and the consequence has been that he
could buy produce, coal, etc, at
cheap prices, and he has now cut off
the expense of house rent, for he
owns a snug little cottage, and it is
all paid for.

Sleep the Best Stimulant.

The best possible thing for man to
do when he feels too weak to carry it
through is to go to bed and sleep a week
if he can. This is the only true recuper-
alton of power, the only actual recuper-
alton of brain force. Because during
sleep the brain is in state of rest, in a
condition to receive and appropriate
particles of nutriment from the blood
which take the place of those which
have been consumed in previous labor,
since the very act of thinking consumes,
burns up solid PARTICLES, as every turn
of the wheel or screw of the splendid
steamer is the result of consumption by
fire of the fuel in the furnace. The sup
ply of consumed brain substance can
only be had from the nutritive particles
in the blood, which were obtained from
the food eaten previously, and the brain
is so constituted that it can best receive
and appropriate to itself those nutritive
particles during state of rest, of quiet,
and stiffness in sleep. Mere stimulants
supply nothing in themselves they only
goad the brain, force it to greater con-
sumption of it's substance, until that sub
stance has been so exhausted that there
is not power enough left to receive a sup
ply, Just as men are 80 near death by
thirst and starvation TINT there is not
power enough to swallow anything, and
all is over.

A Lonesome but Lively Old Negro.

There was a slight rumpus near the
market early the other morning that es-
capped the vigilance of the officer on
duty. An old negro man, evidently from
the country, was sitting in his wagon,
apparently wrapped in deep thought.
His hair was plentifully sprinkled with
gray, and he was carefully polishing the
glasses of a pair of venerable looking
spectacles. Something in his appear
ance attracted the attention of two
neatly dressed mulatto boys, who, with
cigars In their mouths, were sauntering
leisurely by.
Dere's old man Methuselah," re-
marked one, while the other began to
sing, "Dere was an old niger, and his
name was Methuselah-his name was
Methuselah. When he got old he went
| to -"
But before the sable-colored warbler
could finish his ditty, the object of his
serenade had leaped from the wagon ard
seized him. The next moment the tune
ful youth was wriggling on the ground
while the old man was humping him
with No. IL brogan, without regard to
the musical pauses, and with such vigor
as to leave the impression on those with
in hearing that an army of spring car
pet-beaters had suddenly begun opera
tons. /l
" Methuselum amt no SIGH marrer in
his leg like dis, is he's" queried the old
man, as he gave the youth jar that sen,
him rolling out of reach. Scrambline
to his feet, the bruised boy, without an.
swering the interrogatory, made up the
street at pace that soon carried him on,
of sight.
"I'm lonesome niger, am" re-
marked the veteran, az he picked up his
hat, which had fallen off his head dur
ing the humping process. "I'm lone.

Relics Of the Mound Builders.
philadelphia Cor. New York Tribune.l

lPhiladelpna Cor. New York Tribune.
In the mineral annexes to the Main
Exhibition building there is an inter
esting display of the economic re-
sources Of the most progressive States,
and of this full description will soon
be possible. But in the Ohio depart
ment there is now ready for the inspec-
ton of the visitor q magnificent collec-
ton of implements Of war, of the chase,
and of the domestic life of the mysteri-
Gus Mound builders. This display is
not favorably situated to attract atten-
ton, but good judges pronounce it, in
point of interest, no mean competitor of
the famous Smithsonian collection. A
large archaeological map, 12x15 feet,
shows the location, etc., of some OF the
earth and stone works found in Ohio.
From their magnitude and number, it is
easily seen that they were erected by a
people with well-orgsnized govern
ment, and far too numerous to subsist
without system of agriculture. The
immense system of Notifications In the
form of circles, squares, octagons,
mounds, parallel walls, etc., at Newark
would to-day, with the present tools OF
steel and steam machinery, require the
labor of thousands of men for long
period Of time to construct. Yet, as far
as can be learned from the remains left,
the builders had no tools but woodeH
and stone ones, with q few of copper,
and had no domestic animals at all, and
must therefore have carried all this earth
iii skins or baskets, and from long dis
tances, as, at least In some instances,
there is no earth or stone similar to that
used in their construction. Among the
implements exhibited are spades AID
hoes of flint, grooved and ungrooved
axes of various degrees of finish. shape
and size, varying from a few ounces il
weight to over sixteen pounds, skin
dressers for tanning purposes, bark
peelers for making canoes, pestles fol
crushing grain and other food, chisels
etc. The materials used for making
these are granite and kindred rocks
hematite, fhnt, and other hard materials
There are also lance, spear, and arrow
helds; knives, scrapers, gouges, avis
drills, and similar tools of flint, jasper
chalceiony, ETC., copper being used oc
casionally for some of these implements
