Aphorislns.

Do not delight in the misfortune of
others, for you know not at what mo-
ment you may fall.
Have one settled purpose in life, and
if it be honorable it will bring you re-
ward.
Following many vacations has ruined
the life Of many man
Practice economy and industry and
success is yours.
Believe not i'll of brother till it is
proved beyond doubt.
All sorrows and Joys here are but tenn
porary, so aim higher than them.
There is that in some men, which, if
not chilled by adversely, would give to
the world grand thoughts.
There is but one thing that is sure here
on earth, and that is death.

ONE of the funniest, most aggravating
typographical errors on record has just
produced hurricane, accompanied by
thunder and lightning, in the Office Of

glancing over his powerful leader, at the

that he was made to say that the farm

sery" in the excitement Of politics.
The manuscript read poverty and mis-
