Next to religion, nothing gives man such 50.
preme satisfaction the sight OF recsptsd erocers

II you should take 10 yourself little Of the good
advice you are willing 10 give 10 others 1t would
do no HARM
II IS all very we'll to say that "Adversity makes
men, but prosperity makes Monsters" The truth is
under that law
Shakespeare knew human nature by heart Here
Is one OF his bright sayings which Is put in tho
culinc gender just to save tho consequences, but
which really feminine in It's application as IT s
scuiine:-"when / said ! would die a bachelor
did not think should live till werc married"
II you will make II your religious duty to take
every thing by the smooth handle you will save your
self great many unhappy hours
Very few people appreciate the pleasure OF giving.
almost all experience the delight Of keeping. Not
many men arc there OF whom II oan be said:-
For his bounty.
There winter mt; an autumn twas
That grew the more by reaping.
Some men arc like pictures, which need and will
bear strong hght others look best In dark
Don't 60 into debt ON the strength OF great expec-
ta,,ous 1t will never do to sell the bears skin be-
fore you have caught the bear.
The Russians have not yet arrived at proper ap-
probation OF the woman suffrage question. II may
be necessary 70 send from our midst say from that
select company who recently held . convention and
demanded n "femaie iuterpretation'' OF tho Bible,
delegates to enlighten tho Muscovite intellect
ON this point. Thcy have provero with which they
express thoir opinion. and which runs 'The hair is
long, but the mind is short" The only trouble with
such q delegation 10 the aching void 1t would leavc
behind We havo hsart, therefore, TO ask them to
leave this country dssoiaie whio they initiate tho
Russian maidsns into the mysteries of domestic and
political rebellion.
TIE Scotch know their Bibles By heart, and some
times make uso OF texts 10 express very worldly
opinions withaL .swhat kind OF a man was Adam sn
said the .smsenissr" to Of his par,shioners 'ou
jist like ither iouk," was the reply. He demanded .
more definite answer, whom the ca,ecnumen sald
''wsel he was just ike Joo Simpson, the norse
couper." "How may that bei" "weol because
naebsdy got onything by him, and mony lost +"
We TO have y real Second Advent Convsn-
ton. In spite Of the fact that moro than half the
world DO persuaded that thore has been any
advent all these visonaries are TO como together
and tell their dreams each other. II will be grand
opportunity tor all the religious eccsntricty and
timcntal gush OF the community to wont itself. We
are reminded Of the old preacher who always used to
pray the opening OF the General Assembly that It
might be so guided and oiled that IL couldn't do
any HARM"
American wit during the last few years, or since
the advent oil Artemus Ward, has suffered .
change into something now and strange II Is very
startling 10 an Englishmsn, who can never quite
mako up his mind whether tho witty writer is
simply narratrng facts from The point OF view OF
Iunatic, or whether he is very iunny. Ii seems
utterly impossible TO disabuse certain class
Of people In Europe Of the idea that
all Americans indulge in tho war-whoop
now ana then and wear tomahawks At
their belts We have already told Of the lady who
grsvsly asked II We had sledges and reindeer F,nh
during the winter months and here is another
incident very much in the same vein. A gentleman
from the o,her side visiting friend IN Canada
for tho nrss II proposed TO have a sleigh
ride. "John," said the host to his coaohman, shave
the sloigh ready a. thrcar ayes, sr.' "And. John,
will be cold, and you had better put the buffalo and
bear In" This was too much. Then up spoke tho
stranger and said In startled tones 'lm not yet ac-
customcd TO this sort OF thing and wouldn't II be bet
ter 10 havo horses instead OF tho buffalo boar for
my nrst ride, you know"
some travellers go through beautiful scenery with
thoir Dyes fixed their guide books and seeing
nothing, Such ono was riding through tho lake
region IN England, aud beside her sat nervous old
gentle who knew nothing by name, but who en-
joysd ovcry thing IN spite oil its name "Let mo see,"
she said, she turned the pages OF Bcck that
must be windermerc, aud that lake beyond must bo
Grasmere, aud this little lake, locking at insig-
n,ncant pond, "l wonder what nero thatis It's not
tho guide book, am Can you tell me, sir9'
turning an inquiring glance at the old gentleman.
.'rhat2 Oh, mink that must be a mare nothing"
Intensity OF expression 10 sometimes conveyed by
prolonring the syllable OF q word or by ndenuiteiy
lengtheniog " II II have only one syllable ais tho
bride nchs" SAID a sco,chman TO scotchman. no
replied with a simple and incisive "Na" "wslI, Is
she youpgf" THIS time II was necessary to put more
expression ,n.o tho negative, and he drawsd out,
"Na-a" "Then 10 she bonuyf" persisted the ques-
sioner One word seemed hardly sufficient to express
decided opinion this subject, and yet Scotch
man Is economical that he can't use two words
when will do, SO he pot look OF disgust and
said "Ns-a-s," !" and was perfectly understood.
They have had funny time at tho Unitarian
Convention In Saratoga lew phrases quoted here
and there will snow the drift of It's thought. Almost
rything was referred TO aud received It's modicum
OF praise except the Bible. IL Is fashion able tor
real and out modern thinkers to take even pass
ing notice of antqua,ed book. DR.. Clarke spoke
ktndiy. nOWeveFs o. Tue utvlnlty OF buu1na' cnu
said something about .the res.ivity OF oolet" Rev.
Mr. Alger expressed a wish to have a theology "as
breezy as all outdoors" ana another gentleman
talked about "the centres OF eternal victory
over the boundless name" Heaven help us poor
fellows who dare have good op,nlon OF Calvin Who
some one told tho Convention "held servetas the
ore with one hand while ho his Institutcs' with
the otherm DR.. II. 7. stebbius, however, seems TO
be an old fashioned gentleman, who really believes
