If tho art too lazy to think, thou
wilt be TOO poor to know.
If thou canst tolerate a liar, thou art
half liar thyself.
1t takes more than one to get all the
good out of laugh.
When a man gets too poor to feed
his own feas, he gets dog.
All men think well of themselves,
but some have a queer way Of showing
it.
Men boast Of their relatives when
they have nothing else to boast Of.
Thou mayest tell the truth SO that it

A knave cheats others; fool

Never relate your misfortunes to
others.
The trial is not fair where affection is
judge.
Vows made in storm are forgotten

No man should be judge of his own
cause.
To man fun of questions make no
answer.
What men are deficient in reason
they usually make up in rage.
The heart is a crystal palace-if once
broken it can never be mended.
To keep your secret is wisdom, but
to expect others to keep it is folly.

WELCOMING AN Rx.eOSfEDI1fATE.

After the meeting, Tuesday night, ot
George u. Meade, Post No. SO, Of the
Grand Army of the Republic, an inter
esting incident occurred. One Of .ae
members had made tho acquaiFita.n = Of
1 poor Confederate soldier, and invited
him to the meeting. The long hair and
slouched hat of the Southorner soon at
tracted tho attention Of men who well
remembercd these peculiarities. Many
whisrered inquiries were made; but
when tho beer and pipes went around,
il was noticed that the ex-robel was
kept bountifully supplied. Finally the
Commander announced that he under
stood there was brother-soldier in the
audience brother soldier, however,
who had fought on the other side-and
from whom few remarks would be &C.
ceptable. The statement was received
with applause, and when it ceased tho
astonishod Confederate made few re-
marks to the effect that If the troubles
resulting from the war had bern left to
those who did tho fighting, all sectional
auimosities would have been buried by
this time and the entire country in a
more flourishing condition.
At the conclusion Of this little speech
it was proposed that the lone Confeder.
ate soldier be welcomed tho "Grand
Army cheer"-a compliment never ten
dered except TO the most distinguished
guests. The cheer was given with
great enthusiasm. Immediately after
this the 'libcrty Of the floor was nc
corded by Commander Finley to the
comrades of the Post, and then ensued
scene which almost battles description.
A grand fraternal rush WAS made for
the ex-rebel. His hand was shaken

While the fever has been taking
away the people of New Orleans by
hundreds, and this death wagon has
been going through the streets, the
humourous column of the New Orleans
PicastIyse has never failed, nor has it
assumed the tone Of grief.-Every day
the faithful paragraphist has had
his little joke about the people who
asked $50 for q ton Of ice. He said
that they would find some time place
where it cannot be had for twice the
money, and has warned them not to
come to New Orleans at present. lie
has had his little joke at the country
towns'that.have establisheda a quarantine
against New Orleans, as the only means
Of letting the world know that such a
place sxisted.-When he learned that
the Buffalo police had sent $500, he
said. "Let us hear no more of the club
bing together Of policemen" Later on
he advised the doctors "To pool their
issues the yellow fever must go. And
With a tlnge Of sarcasm he notices the
fact sthat the season .at fashionable
Northern watering places is about to
close. and then our poor refugees will
be Obliged to enjoy themselves IN crowd
ed cities" When the rollaof stand-bys
Is made up, let US place high on the
list the name of the brave paragrapher
Of the New Orleans Picayal,ae.

sOws EATING THEIR roUSc.

A letter from Paris, France, to the
LGacasAier Faqnaer, says that many plans
have been tried to prevent sows from
devouring their young; the mothers
voracity is due to the pain the young
inAiot on her when first commencing to
suckle, for they are Uttered with milk
teeth, and the later often not beng suf-
ficiently distant from one another, the
teat is thus bitten. In France, the
milk teeth, at the extremity of the
Jaw are extracted, SO the mother, not
being wounded, does not become furi-
,as Another plan is to rub the young
with gin, as also the mothers snout;
the odor will ward off her attacks, or
pour into her ear at the moment of
litterlng, some drops of a mixture COM
posed of two parts of tincture of OPT.
um and fifteen of camPhored alcohol;
this will cause sleep, and when she
awakens the young viii have taken
possession each of its teat, and the
first nips will have been forgotten.

CHILDREN AND DIRT.

The New Haven Register has been
investigating the question Of children's
playing with dirt, and this is the con-
clusion arrived at The best play
thing for your children is dirt. This
teaching may not seem orthodox, but it
is true nevertheless. 1t is hard to see
the clean dress of the morning wrinkled
and begrimed. 1t is hard to see the
rosy cheeks and dimpled hands that we
dearly love to kiss covered with dirt al
most deep enough to plant potatoes.
All this is annoying, but it is almost a
necessity to the children's health. The
earth is good mother. From it we
came, upon it we live, and to it we
shall return. Children naturally love
the earth. If they have no little spade
they will improvise one from stick,
and dig in the garden. They will run
their fingers in the dirt and stir it up,
breathing the air that escapes. Is seems
to be almost instructive with them.
Fresh earth is their delight, and mud
pies a luxury. 1t is well to dress your
children in the morning for dirty work.
Al cheap calico dress and the Oldest
pair Of shoes they have should so on.
If it is pleasant let them play the whole
morning in the dirt and mud they like
They will have an immense amount Of
fun and come in with glistening eyes
rosy checks, and hard, firm flesh.

vIRGTSIA.s LOST COLONY.

Tho discovery Of mound in North
Carolina, with number of well pre-
served corpses Of unknown nationality
has revived a hope of Sir Walter Raj
eigh that some trace might yet be found
of tho famous Roanoke colony. The
remains and contents of the mound are
undergoing careful examination, and If
il is possible to decide that they ace the
Roanoke colony-lost and found-no
doubt it will be done. 1t was in 1887
that the famous lost colony, the subject
of so much search, speculation and ro-
nance, landed at Roanoke and formed
a friendship with Manteo, who was
made Christian, fedal Baron, as the
Lord of Roanoke, the first gentleman
in America. 1t was that colony which
gave birth to Virginia Dare, the first
child born here of English parents. 1t
was three years on account of war
Spanish armada and homo troubles, be
fore a ship arrived with supplies and
tho Governor Of the colony, Virginia
Dares grandfather, returned TO Roam
oke. All that remained of the colony,
or Manteo and the friendly Indians, to
tell of its fate was the inscription
"Croatan" on the bark of tree.

the other day we were invited to see
the monster en- stocks and to take its
measurement. The plow being now

and dimensions which will enable one
to form some idea Of it. The share
weighs lS2 pounds, the coulter and
clasp $50 pounds, the cleyis so pounds,

5x2 inches, the standard 40x7xl inches
the mold-board feet by 90 inches,
the share 81 feet by IL inches 1t will
cut furrow 81 inches wide, and is ex-

will be shipped to George w. Sanborn,

thunder and lightning, in the Office of
