Pearls OF Thought.

The hardest thing in this busy world OF
ours is to do nothing.
A WISE man seeks to shine in himself,
fool to outshine others.
SHOW may be purchased; but happiness
is homemade article.
PHILosoPHY, if rightly defined, is naught
but the love OF wisdom.
He that keeps his temper is better than he
that can keep carriage.
Ir is easier 20 believe all i'll report than to
inquire into the truth thereof.
HYrocRIrEs are beings of darkness dis
guised in the garment OF light
THoUGH fancy may be the patients COM
plaint necessity is often the doctor.
He who has not known adversity is but
half acquainted with himself or others.
He who will not reason is bigot, he who
cannot is fool, and he who dares not is
a slave.
II all the year were playing holidays, to
| sport would be as tedious as to work; but
when they seldom come, they are wished for.
| VANITY is our dearest weakness, in more
senses than one a man will sacrifice and
starye out all his inclnations to keep alive
| that one.
THERE is nothing evil in life for him who
rightly comprehends that death is no evil
to know how to die delivers us from all sub
lection and constraint.
LIKE many virtues, hospitality is prae
ticed in its perfection by the poor. Ii the
rich did their share, how would the woes OF
this world be hghtened
He that does good to another man alsc
does it to himself, not only in the conse
quence, but in the very act of doing it, foT
the consciousness of well doing is an ample
reward
THERE is no funeral 10 sad to follow a:
the funeral of your own youth, which WI
have been pampering with fond desires anc
ambitious hopes, aud all the bright berries
that hang in poisonous clusters over the
path of life
THERE is a sacredness in tears. They arr
not the mark of weakness, but of power
They speak more eloquently than ten thous
and tongues. They are the messengers ot
overwhelming grief, of deep contrition, ant
| of unspeakable love.

There are foolish people who regard it only

Nothing in the history of local politics
this summer and fall has struck us with SO
much force as the martyrdom of nj. NJ,
Ford. He didn't want The nomination for
the state senate. He protested that be
couldn't afford to take the Office, and that
Dothing but sense of duty could induce
him to accept. Now there is something
agfully sublime In such position as that.
Ii discounts four or five Spartan mothers.
Il beats the wet nurse of Remus and Rom
ulus By Fifty per cent. It furnishes glo-
rious example for Bill TerpeniBg and Hon.
Benjamin Seaton. We don't admire Mil
ton Miltades as man to neighDor with,
but as public man he is pyramid that
we gaze upon with awe. We fancy now
that we hear him explaining to admiring
friends in Rock Island that all Henry
county desires is suitable candidate.
Bring out your man, gentlemen; don't
desire the nomination" We call that
grand. chivalrous, uusel6sb,. patriotic,
moderately modest and tolerably virtuous.
