A LITTLE OF EVERYTHING.

A LITTLE OF EVERYTHING.
If others sin toward us in one re-
spect, we unjustly infer that they will
in all.
Think not of faults committed In
the past when one has reformed his
conduct.
If YOU have intelligence, modesty
best sets it Of; II not, best hide your
want of it.
If you reject unmerited praise, you
arc unhappy; if you accept it, you
are probably undone.
Indulge not in anger; it is whet-
ting q sword to wound thine own
breast or murder q friend.
Unmerited oblivion is but another
name for the ignorance Of the many
and the virtues Of the few.

The Burlington Hawkeye says:
,"If any subscriber finds a line in his
paper that he does not like aud can
not agree with, if he will bring his
paper to the ONCE and point cut the
offending line, the editor will take
his scissors and cut it out for him."
1t takes a drug clerk of broad
judgment and liberal views, and a
calm statesmanlike control over the
features, to know how to give citi-
zen the right kind of syrup in his
soda water when the citizens wife
says she will take the same as her
husband.
A minister going to visit one or
his sick parishioners, asked him how
he rested during the night. Oh,
wonderously i'll, sir" he replied,
."for mine eyes have not come togeth-
er these three nights" "What is the
reason of thatl" said the other.
"Alas, sir" said he, because my nose
was betwixt Them"
A newly married lady, who, as in
duty bound,was very fond of her hus-
band, notwithstanding his extreme
ugliness of person, once said to
witty friend, "What do you think9
My husband has laid out fifty gum
cas- for large baboon on purpose to
please mew "The dear little man !"
cried the other. "Well, it's just like
him.
What to him was love or hope2
What to him was joy or carea He
stepped on plug of Irish soap the
girl had left ON the topmost stair,
and his feet flew out like wild fierce
things, and he struck each stair with
a sound like a drum, aud the girl
below with the scrubbing things
laughed like fiend to see him
come"
Benjamin F. King, jr., of New
Bedford, recently coughed up splin-
ter of wood which had been in his
body for twenty-nine years, being a
part ofa stick which had accident
ally pierced his flesh and broke of.
He had often experienced sharp neu-
ralgic pains 10 the vicinity Of the
wound, which have now entirely
ceased.
An Irish bricklayer was ono day
brought to the Edinburgh Infirmary
severely injured by fall from a
house top. The medical man in at
tendance asked the sufferer at what
time the accident occurred. 1.-TWO
O'Clock, yer honor" was the reply.
On being asked how he came to fx
the hour so accurately, he answered:
because I saw the people at dinner
through window as was coming
down."
A lady writer modestly holding
the opinion that woman is pure,
holy and angelic being heads off
contradiction from experienced male
brutes by reminding them that their
mothers were women. 1t has often
struck us while reading the abuse
which many Of these female scrib-
blers heap ON the males of their
species that they lose sight Of the
sacred fact that their fathers were
men.-Reno Gazette
