Advice TO JOkers.

Always let your jokes be we'll
timed. Any time will do for joke,
but no time will do for a bad one
Any place will fit, provided the joke
itself be fitting, but it never fits for
q joke to be out of its place. You
cannot order a joke as you would a
coat or pair of boots. In concoct-
ling jokes, as in making pudding,
each person employs similar mater
Iials, but the quality of the dish is en-
tirely dependent on the skill of the
artist. The utterer of a good joke is
u useful member of society, but the
maker of a bad one is a more despic-
able character than the veriest puns'
ter by profession.
A joke from a gentleman is an act
of character; and uncharitable joke
i is an ungentlemanly act The retort
courteous is the touchstone of good
feeling; the reply churlish-the proof
:. of cold-headed stupidity.

The True Lady.

Beauty and style are not the sur
est passport to responsibility. Some
of the noblest specimens of woman
hood the world has ever seen pre-
sented the plainest and most unpre-
possessing appearance. A woman's
worth is to be estimated by the real
goodness of her heart and the purity
and sweetness of her character, and
such a woman with good DISPOSE
Ition and a well balanced mind and
temper, is lovely and attractive
Her face ever so plain and her form
ever so homely, she makes the best
iof wives and the truest of mothers.
She has a higher aim in life than the
beautiful yet vain and Supercilious
woman, who has no higher purpose
lin life than to Aaunt her fnery in
the streets, or to crafty her ordinate
vanity by attracting flattery and
praise from a society whose compli,
ments are as hollow as they are in.

One Void.

Perhaps there is no stronger tenden-
dency of the human heart than to
have one supreme object of our af.
lection; and the folly of having the
flowers of human hope rooted in
earthly evils is apparent when cruel
frosts destroy them. A mother,
among her interesting family, seem.
ed to cling with devotion to her ED
est child, young lady whose anna,
bility and intellectual gifts charmed
every one. But, like a heavenly
exotic, the rude blast of earth chilled
her-she faded and died. The shock
was too much for her worshipping
mother, and death became n blank to
her. In vain she tried to arouse
herself to the duty she owed to her
promising children still around her
settled melancholy clouded the sun
ny sky of domestic interest. How
touching is the sight when those who
possess so many blessings, and with
lovingduties awaiting them, sit with
listless hands and heavy hearts, fam
ished in a land of plenty We Otter
see faces with lines ofcare, whose sur
rounding appear so prosperous anG
rose-colored that VIC find ourselves
wondering what hidden, fatal grie
is cherished in the heart. One voit
alone causes more unhappiness than
do those awful calamities from which
we shrink. Do not most natures be
come worn and wearied by regrets
and disappointments more than from
heavy griefand misfortune? Indeed
it requires more real hcroism to be
come resigned to part with one lido
than to sacrifice necessary good. One
object alone is worthy to claim oul
supreme love, and that is our Maker

True COnccit.

What the world very often mis-
takes for conceit is a self.conscious
ness, recognition of the inward
power, which is, in truth, very differ
ent from it. In our common accep
ton of the word, a conceited man is
an empty fellow who bases his opin'
ion of himself upon no true grounds
Very often, great but untried mer
will takeupon themselves the achieV
ment of that which the world deems
an impossibility. But if the maj
has that within him which will car
ry him through, he is not to b.
blamed. 1t is the ignorant fellow
and puffed-up fool who exhibits thu
richest crop Of conceit. This quail
ty in you should not be sneeret
away or abanished, for mean as i
may appear, it has its uses. A littl
hard work in the world will rul
down its salient points. We mus
steer througha all the shoal and quick
sands of life, cultivating a prope
lowliness, but yet an humble pride
if we seek, as all should seek, to b
proper and true men.
