Next soak your seed for several hours,

Blunt but True.

There is said to be young man in the
Missouri penitentiary, whose parents at
death, left him a fortune of $4,000.
There is where his parents made fatal
mistake. If they had taken the pre-
caution to invest the sum in small dog,
and shot him, and then simply left the
young man a jack-plane or wood-saw,
with printed directions how to use them,
the chances are that instead of being in
the penitentiary, he would to-day
have been gradually but surely working
up to a handsome competency, an
honorable and an old age. But ever
aimee the day of Adam and Eve, parents
have made it point to toll and struggle
all their lives in order to realize a suf-
fcient sum of money to purchase, when
they are dead and gone, their sons each
a first class through ticket to the devil;
and tbs not much to be wondered at that
SO many of their sons, reared in vice
and idleness, as too many of them often
are, have no higher ambition than to in
vest their inheritance in just that sort of
transportation.

MAKE A FEw.-A pretentious student
in Brown university once told Dr. Way
land that he thought it would be easy to
make proverbs like those of Solomon.
The only reply of DR.. WayIand was
Make a few!" If skeptics who have
spent so much time in railing at the Bible
would try their hands at making better
book, book that would take hold upon
the heart of humanity which would
interest children and comfort old age;
which would inspire manhood and
womanhood with the highest, truest, no
blest thoughts; which would chasten
them in Joy, and comfort them in sorrow
if infdels would produce the first page
of such book as this, we would gladly
listen to what they have to say. But
this eternal fault-fnding, this everlasting
negation; this seeking to rob people of
a healthful and comfortable faith and
leave them nothing in its place; this
parading of few worn-out sneers and
objections, never will accomplish much
with world that is hungering for the
bread of life, and that longs to drink of
the waters of salvation.

A SACRED OLD RELIC.-A colored mar
turned auctioneer to work off two ole
stoves for a dealer on Gratiot avenue
One was sold without trouble, but, as the
other held over" on him, he mounted
barrel and began:
"Gen'lem and women, dis yere stove
was once de property of George Wash
ington."
A Alaughter of derision greeted his state
ment. Singing out the biggest man IL
the crowd, the auctioneer asked:
"Doan' you believe that George Wash
ington once owned dis yere stove?"
mo, sir" ...... i.
"Dat's de same as callin' me iah' sab
and you'll hev to chew dem words, sah.'
He jumped down and waltzed over tc
the stranger, but was knocked down in g
York minute. That was plenty for him
and, after feeling of his head to see how
much of it was left, he mounted the bar
rel and called out:
"How much do hea.t for dis Stove
once de property of Ginral Grant De
stove dat Washington owned was busted
up doorin' de war"

THE HUMAN FACE A AMAsK.-Soi inscruta-
Bile may the human face become that
frequently it is but mask which con-
ceals the real character. The men and
women most famous for heartless cruelty
have often been celebrated for their
handsome faces; writers of fiction have
not been unmindful of the fact, and Faust
is represented as being handsome man !;
while the German fishermen sing of the
sirens who drag mems souls down to per-
dition with their fatal dover of beauty.
Some faces ere unreadable, and show
nothing of the owners character. The
merriest men now and then have solemn
faces, and the most serious frequently
have cheerful ones. Frequently the
most heartless coquette has all the shy
graces OF ; girl of sixteen, while the
hearts C ;ome women who look you
through with cold, steady eyes may be
filled with love and tenderness that you
are too blind to discover. So we all 90
on, wearing guises of different device,
never quite concealing, never revealing,
the life within.

1t is, 1 believe, Addison, who remarks,
thatif all the ethoughtswhi pass through
mems minds were tObe made public, the
difference which seems to exist between
the thinking of the wise and the unwise
would be good deal reduced seeing
that it is difference which does not
consist in theirnot having the same weak
thoughts in common, but merely in the
prudence through which the wise sup
press the foolish ones. 1 still possess
notes of the cogitations of those solitary
evenings, ample enough to show that
they were extraordinary combinations
of the false and the true; but 1 at the
same time hold them sufficiently in
memory to remember that | scarce, if at
all, distinguished between what was false
and true nr 'tem at the time. The liter
ature of al / every people has cor
responding early stage, in which fresh
thinking is mingled with little coneeits,
and in which the taste is usually false.

-hi WoRrH THE CHARM.-Young men are
mistaken when they think good looks
their principal recommendation to wo-
man. A woman admires a handsome
man for time, but it needs something
more than o good-looking face to retain
this feeling, A woman is, as general
rule, more strongly drawn by the intel
lectual qualities of the opposite sex than
byanything else. Doctor johnson, Gold
smith, Curran, and Shiel were all very
plain; but they possessed the charm of
genius, which irresistibly attracts the
noble qualities ofwoman. What above
said is also true of the gentler sex. A
man frequently says Of some belle:
Yes, she's very beautiful, but I thank
Heaven she isn't my wife Women
like to be admired for their love.aness, and
we do not mean to blame them for it /;
but it requires something more than
mere beauty to enable them to retain
their influence over men,

The love of solitude, when cultivated
in the morn of life, elevates the mind to
a noble independence, but to acquire the
advantages which solitude is capable of
afording, the mind must not be compell-
ed to it by melancholy and discomfort,
but by distaste to the idle pleasures of
the world, rational contempt for the
deceitful Joys of life and just apprehen-
sions Of being. corrupted and seduced by
its insinuating and destructive gayeties.

Contempt naturally implies mans
esteeming himself greater than the per-
son whom he contemns. He, therefore,
that sights, that contemns an affront, is
properly superior to it; and he conquers
an injury who conquers his resentment
of it. Socrates, being kicked by an ass
did not think it a revenge proper for
Socrates to kick the ass again.-iS0uth.
