There is so much imprudence In the

safest to let the world read our religion
IN our deeds instead of listening to our
housetop declarations.
The oldest stove in the United
States, If not in the world, is that used

Decorated candles are the fancy of the

-Contentment produces, in some
measure, all those effects which the
alchemist usually ascribe to what he
calls the philosophers stone; and if it
does not bring riches, it does the same
thing by banishing the desire of them.
If it cannot remove the disquietudes
| arising from mans mind, body, or
fortune, it makes him easy under them.
Death is the only master who takes
his servant without character. A sour
faced wife fills the tavern. When pride
and poverty marry together, their chill
dren are want and crime. When hard
work kills ten, idleness kills hundred
men. Folly and pride walk side by side.
Friends and photographs never hatter.
Wisdom is always at home to those who
call.

contemplated suicide, said to him.

MOTE FROM THE EYE.-Take ahorsehair
and double it, leaving a loop. If the
mote can he seen, lay the loop over it,
close the eye, and the mote will come
out as the hair is withdrawn. If it can
not be seen, raise the lid of the eye as
far as possible, and place the loop in it as
far as you can, close the eye and roll the
ball few times, then draw out the hair.
The substance which caused so much
pain will be sure to come with it..
A farmers daughter, living near
Cleveland, answered personal in a
newspaper, entered into correspondence
with the unknown" finally met him, /
was married, went to the city to live, ]
and returned to her fathers house in
two months, dressed like beggar, and
looking twenty years older than when
she went away. Her husband was a
gambler and loafer. This is a personal
romance in nut shell.
CINDERs IN THE EYE.-Having noticed
two communications in your journal
lately under the above heading, permit
me to give you a simple remedy have
used for years with success: A small
camePs hair brush dipped in water and
passed over the ball of the eye on rails
ing the lid. The operation requires no
skill, takes but q moment, and instantly |
removes any cinder or particle Of dust or .
dirt without inhaming the eye.
TRUTH.-A eannon-ball, striking the |
oaken ribs Of man-of-war, pierces !
straight through them, scattering de-
struction on all sides, until its force is
expended; but if it impinge upon the
wave, it swerves aside, and is conquered :
BY their unresisted softness, and finally
subsidies without injury. So the first {
burst of passion increased and rendered
more dangerous by a stubborn opposition, |
will generally yield and fall harmless :
when it is met by softness and submission.
