The Seven Wise Men.

Most people have heard of the "Seven
Wise Men of Greece" but very few
know who they were or how they came
to be called so. Here is the story, and
the moral of it is worth remembering,
if their names are not. The seven wise
men of Greece are supposed to have
lived in the fifth century before Christ.
Their names are Pittacus, Bias, Scion,
Thales, Chic, Clebulus and Fernandez
The reason of their being called wise is
given differently by various authors !;
but the most approved accounts state
that as some COans were fishing, some
strangers from Melitus bought whatever
should be in the nets, without seeing it.
When the nets were brought in, they
were found to contain golden tripod
which Helen is supposed to have thrown
there. A dispute arose between the
fishermen and the strangers as to whom
it belonged; and as they could not
agree, they took it to the temple of
Apollo, and consulted the priestess as
to what should be done with it. She
said it must be given to the wisest man
in Greece and it was accordingly sent
to Bias, who declared that Thales was
wiser, and sent it to him. Thales sent
it to another one, and so on, until it had
passed through the hands of all the men,
distinguished afterwards as the "Seven
Wise Men )" and as each one claimed
that the other was wiser than he, it was
finally sent to the temple of Apollo,
where it long remained to teach the
lesson that the wisest are the most dis
trustful of their wisdom.

There is one truly rural pumpkin on
this green terrestrial ball who takes
earthquakes hard. He registered him.
self last week at hotel in Ballston
Spa, and blew out the gas in his room
when he went to bed. A woman with
an efficient nose detected a strong odor
of gas in the hall, and called the night
clerk up stairs. Forcing an entrance
into the room, they found the guest in
a deep sleep, and on arousing him, ask
ed him bluntly if he noticed anything
wrong. "Well," said he, rubbing his
eyes, "since l was shook up by that
earthquake Sunday morning, am in a
condition not to wonder at anything
strange in this section of the country"
Sure enough, one cannot recover as
quickly from an earthquake as from a
SneeZe.

~ If it were not for sundry holes or
leaks in the pocket we should all be
rich. A pocket is like a cistern, small
leak at the bottom is worse than chain
pump at the top. Rain enough falls
every season, but it is not every man
who will take pains to catch it; and
again, not every man who catches it
knows how to keep it. Opportunities
are more plenty than successes. Greater
care, more earnest thought, would save
many hard days work, and add laige-
ly to the profits.
