KAZORS.

BARRIERS often tell us that razors get
tired of shaving, but if laid by for
twenty days they will then shave well.
By microscopic examination it is
found that the tired razor, from long
stropping by the same hand and in the
same directions, has the ultimate par
ticles or fibers of its surface all arrang-
ed in one direction like the edge of a
piece of cut velvet; but after a months
rest, there fibers rearrange themselves
heterogeneously, crossing each other
and presenting a saw-like edge, each
fiber supporting its fellow, and hence
cutting the beard, instead of being
forced down flat without cutting as
when laid by. These and many other
instances are offered to prove that the
ultimate particles of matter are always
in motion and they say that in the
process of welding the absolute mo-
mentum of the hammer causes an en-
of the orbits of motion,
and hence a Encouragement as in one
piece indeed, in a cold state, a leaf of
gold laid on a polished surface of steel,
and stricken smartly with n hammer,
will have its particles forced into the
,teel so as to permanently gild it at the
point of contact.

PROVERBS AND PHILOSOPHY.


Nay never rend the silken sail
- w. y. Eus,corM. an scri6ner for Juns
PROVERBS AND PHILOSOPHY,
Never do mean action.
Deride not the unfortunate.
Put no faith in tale-bearers.
The world is his who enjoys it.
An open door will tempt saint.
Detraction is sin against justice.
Seek not after the fallings of others.
The best answer to SANDER is silence.
: Never sport with pain or poverty.
knowledge is the minds treasure.
Add no trouble to the grief-worh
heart.
No fear should deter us from doing
good.
Pin not your faith on another's
sleeve.
Antiquity is not always mark OF
truth.
Never speak to deceive nor listen to
betray.
Good manners are sure to procure
respect.
Trade knows neither friends nor
kindred.
He who lives upon hope has but a
slender diet.
Tricks and treachery are the prac.
tice of fools.
Prefer loss to unjust gain, and solid
sense to wit.
Death is the finishing stroke in the
picture of life.
As long as you and truth agree you
will do well.
Confession of q fault makes hall
amends for it.
No one ever suffered by not speak
ing i'll of others.
Blessed are they who minister to
the cry of the soul.
Do what you think is right, what
ever others may think.
He who is unwilling to amend has
the devil on his side.
Pure metals shine brighter the more
they are rubbed.
Pride lives on very costly food-its
keepers happiness.
Good principles are of no use to us
unless we are governed by them.
When q vain man hears another
praised he thinks himself injured.
No change in external appearance
can alter that which is radically
wrong.
In our intercourse with the world
we should often ask ourselves, how
would 1 like to be treated thus.
Vice stings us even in our pleasures,
but virtue consoles US even in our
pains.
Meyer make yourself too little for
the sphere of duty, but stretch and
expand yourself to the compass of it's
objects.
Liberty is the daughter of philoso-
ply, and they who detest the offspring
do all they can to nulify and discoun-
tenance the mother.
In all ages and countries unprinci-
pied men may be found who will
slander the most upright character, and
find others as base as themselves to
join in the propagation of their false
hoods.
Our doubts are traitors,
And make rs lose the good we Oft
might win,
By fearing to attempt.

THE best possible thing for a man
to do when he feels too weak to carry
any thing through, is to go to bed and
sleep as long as he can. This is the
only recuperative of brain-power, the
only actual recuperative of BRAIN
force; because during sleep the brain
ia in state of rest, in a condition to
receive and appropriate nutriment
from the blood. The supply of new
brain-substance can be had only from
the blood, which it obtains from the
food eaten previously and the brain
can best receive and appropriate to
itself nutritive substance during a
state of sleep. Mere stimulants sup
ply nothing in themselves; they goad
the brain, and force it to a greater
consumption of its substance, until it
is so exhausted that there may not be
power enough left to receive supply.
