there is much to pardon; and when there
is anything to pardon, be assured thereis
something to love.
HOWEVER many friends you have, do
not neglect yourself. Though you have
a thousand, not one of them loves you SO
much as you ought to loveyourself.
SUNDAY is the strongest of all the
days, for the others are week days and
this is not. And yet Sunday is oftener
broken than any one of the week fel-
lows.
No character will please long which is
uniform. To be always jocose is buff
foonery; always pathetic, silly; always
wise, sententious; always grave, tire
some.
ELEGY IN COUNTRY FARMHOUSE, BY
SUMMER SoJoURNER.
Know ye the lip where the gauzy mustache
Ever drags through the milk and gets tangled In
Where the hairs are as soft as the youth they en-
The hue most enchanting, the quirls most divine7
'Ts the lip of yours truly" the bard of the Skies
The first at the table, the last one to rise
THE fly which awakens you at early
dawn, by crawling over your nose, may
drop into your neighbor's butter dish
before dinner, and be served up in your
own sauce for supper.
ROCHESTER Democrat: "Money in a
nutshell" is the title of an article IN the
Cincinnati Gazette. We shall not trust
our money in SO large a receptacle as
that. 1t would get lost.
ALBANY Argus; At fashionable
wedding recently when the bridegroom
knelt down, $3.50" was plainly seen on
the soles Of his shoes. There is moth
ing like economy in beginning married
life.
A GREAT philosopher says: In the
economy of nature nothing is lost. The
inside Of an orange may refresh one man,
while the outside of the same fruit may
serve as medium for breaking another
mans leg.
WORCESTER Press: The grittiest
chap in the country lives in Napa
County, California. A cargo of rock
isplinters was blown into him by the
premature discharge of blast, and now
he resembles a section of patent gravel
cement.
THERE are but three ways for a
man to revenge himself of the censure OF
the world: To despise it, to return the
like or to endeavor to live SO as to avoid
it. The first of these is usually pre-
tended, the last is almost impossible; the
universal practice is the second.
BY reference to the mortality reports,
cows an exchange. It will be found that
fourteen deaths last week were attributed
to old age. This deserves serious con-
sideration, and the Board OF Health
ought to take effective steps to prevent
such disease assuming the proportions
of an epidemic.
SUMMER THOUGHTS.
| Upon mossy knoll in the forest,
| Lay looking upward at the eternal blue
Of the infinite and quiet heavens through
The oak-leaf and the hemlock's canopy,
| And now and then cloud went drifting by,
Listless and slow, and changing to the view.
How like my feeting summer thoughts 10 you,
| Calm peaceful clouds And now the evening SKY
| A deeper, darker, lovelier azure hath,
The birds have ceased their singing and the oreezs
Is filed with hum Of insects; darkness saitn- ,
| With the first few stars twinkling through tne
That night hath come. A little while, and death
Like night, will end lfe's summer reveries,
MANY a young man spends his money
like prince for ice-cream to treat his
girl on Sunday night, and is willing to
stand at zero in the estimation OF his
friends all the next week, by his per-
sistent begging of a stray chew OF to-
bacco, in consequence of the impecun1-
osity produced by one Sabbath's gener-
osity.
WHO can explain the operation OF
that sentiment, which creates around the
one object of our love halo OF LIE ana
beauty, which extends to all animate
and inanimate nature, and of that other
sentiment which, when we cease to love,
strips the object of ourlate passion OF al
its adventitious charms and reduces 1t to
the ordinary level?
