ALL Sorts of Paragraphs.
= 1t is said that the pen is mightier
than the sword. Neither is of much use
without the holder.
= May exalting and humanizing
thoughts forever accompany me, making
me confident without pride, and modest
without servility.
- Men are made to be eternally sha-
ken about, but women are flowers that
lose their beautiful colors in the noise
and tumult of life.
1t is base to filch purse, daring TO
embezzle million, but it is greater be-
yond measure to steal crown. The sin
decreases as the sin increases.
"A Nebraska farmer bitches pair
of COWS to a wagon when he journeys,
and milks them when he comes to toll
gate, paying the toll with the milk.
A man should insure himself to
voluntary labor, and not give up to in
diligence and pleasure, as they beget no
good constitution of body nor knowledge
of mind.
Wealth and want equally harden the
human heart, as frost and FIRE are both
alien to the human flesh. Famine and
gluttony alike drive nature away from
the heart of man.
Three men were found hanging
from a tree in Texas, and one of them
was placarded: "They stole horses
here is where we found them, and here is
where we left them."
= Honest and courageous people have
very little to say either about their hon.
esty or their courage. The sun has no
need to boast of his brightness nor the
moon &C her ehulgence.
: All tks nice things of this world
are of no further good to US than they
are of use; and whatever we may heap
up to others we enjoy only as much as
we can use, and no more.
-"Gentlemen, I introduce you to my
friend, who isn't as stupid as he appears
to be-" introduced friend, with vivacity
That's precisely the difference be-
tween my friend and myself"
: Hope calculates its schemes for q
long and durable life, presses forward to
imaginary points of bliss, and grasps at
impossibilities and consequently en-
snares men into beggary, ruin, and dis
honor.
"A good little boy, who was kicked
by mule, did not say naughty words, or
20 home crying to his mother. He just
tied the mule within five feet of a bee
hive, backed him round to it, and let
him kick.
"A noble man compares and esti-
mates himself by an idea which is high
er than himself, and a man by one
which is lower than himself The one
produces aspirations, the other ambition.
Ambition is the way in which a vulgar
man aspires.
= General Hood is raising a new
brigade. The gallant General has nine
children, all under the age of eight years,
and three pairs of them twins. They
are oficered by four nurses, governess,
his wife and his mother-in-law, and the
corps present fine appearance on dress
parade.
In all governments there must of
necessity be both law aud the sword.
Laws without arms would give US not
liberty, but licentiousness, and arms with
out laws would produce not subjection
but slavery. The law, therefore, should
be unto the sword what the handle is to
the hatchet; it should direct the stroke
and temper the force.
Every failure is step to success;
every detection of what is false directs
us towards what is true; every trial ex-
hausts some tempting form of error.
Not only so; but scarcely any attempt
is entirely failure scarcely any theory,
the result of steady thought, is altogeth-
er false; no tempting form is without
some latent charm derived from truth.
No man knows any one except HIM
self whom he judges fit to set free from
the coercion of laws and to be abandoned
entirely to his own choice. By this con-
sideration have all civilized nations been
induced to the enaction of penal laws;
laws by which every mans danger be-
comes every mans safety, and by which,
though all restrained, yet all are bene-
flied.

of the prettiest lasses ventured to inquire:
"Were you ever at watering place ?"
ooh, yes" replied she, II live right at
| one" "Indeed p exclaimed he, growing
interested, "where might it be?" "Oh,
just out here little way" was her reply
"my father keeps the railroad tank"
The city chap, wondering whether she
was in earnest or making fun of him,
there dropped the subject.
1t is generally charged that the
secret service fund of the Treasury De-
partment has for years been to great
extent directed to outside and improper
purposes. 1t is believed that under the
Grant administration thousands of dol
lars belonging to the fund were paid
out for secret political use in several of
the Southern States. The responsibility
for this rests upon officials much higher
than any of the members of the secret
service force. If the investigation of
the secretservice which is now in progress
be thorough and honest all these facts will
undoubtedly come out.
