SOBER THOUGHTS.

Mistakes made in early life are some.
times never rcctified.
Some speakers and writers have a
river Of words, but only spoonful Of
thoughts.
Man wastes his mornings in anticipa-
ting his afternoons, and wastes his after
moons in regretting his mornings.
When any calamity has been suffered,
the first thing to be remembered is how
much has been escaped.
Contentment is not happiness. An
oyster may be contenied. Happiness is
compounded of richer elements.
We should do our cunning as we do
by our courage-always have il ready to
defend ourselves, never TO offend others.
There are many shining qualities in the
mind Of man, but none so useful rs dis
cretion.
Thosewho have finished by making all
Others think with them, have usually
been those who began by daring to think
for themselves.
II is great blunder in the pursuit of
happiness not to know when We have
got ii that is. not to be content with
reasonable and possible measure Of it.
Good breeding is not confined to eN,er.
mails. much less TO any particular dress
or attitude OF the body. Il is the art OF
pleasing. or, contributing, is much as
possible. to the ease and happiness of
those with whom YOU converse.
When you speak evil OF another YOU
l.ssf T..
evil Of YOU. There is an old Buddis,
prOycrb which says: "He who indulges
in enmity Is like one who throws ashes
10 windward, which comes back To the
same place and covers him all over"
II va, 4 saying OF Aristotle that all
noblcminded men ars inclined TO sad.
neSs. IL i no; merely the feeling that
their own lot is hard one which op-
presses them il Is something morc-it
i their inward sympathy and conscious
ness OF participation in the sufferings OF
the human race TO which they belong.
Don't be discouraged II. in the out
set Of life, thing, do not 20 on smooth
~ II seldom happens iha; the hopes
We cherish for the future are realized.
The path Of life appears smooth and
easy. but when We come 10 travel j, w

Powers of the Microscope.
From the Scientific News.


There isa story that an eminent micro
scopist had bit of substance submitted
to him to decide what it was. To an un-
aided eye it might be morsel of skin
which baggage smasher had knocked
off the corner of smoothly worn hair
trunk. The sarantappealed to his micro
scope. Entirely ignorant of this tiny
bit of matter, except as he had taken
counsel with his instrument, the wise
man declared that it was the skin of a
human being, and that, judging by the
fine hair on it, it was from the so-called
naked portion of the body, and, further,
that it belonged to a fair mplexioned
person. The strange facts now made
known to the man of science were these
That thousand years before, Danish
marauder had robbed an English church.
In the spirit of the old fashioned piety
the robber was fayed, and the skin was
nailed to the church door. Except as
tradition or archaeological lore had it,
the affair had been forgotten for hun
dreds of years. Time, the great erodent,
had long ago utterly removed the often
sive thing. Still, however, tbs church
door held to its marks of the great
shame, for the broad-headed nails re
manned. Somebody extracted one, and
underneath its first head was this atomic
remnant of that ancient Scandinavian
malefactor's pelt-that fair-skinned rob.
ber from the north.
