How various are the characters of

SILENT MEN - Washington never
made a speech. In the zenith of his
fame be once attempted it, failed
aud gave it up, confused aud
abashed. In framing the Constitu
ton of the United States The labor
was almost wholly performed in Com
mittee Of the whole, Of which George
Washington was the chairman. He
spoke twice during the convention,
but his words were SO few that they
could not ftly be termed speeches
The convention, however, acknowl
edge the master~spirit, and historiaos
affirm that, had it not been for his
personal popularity and the sinceri,
ty with which he spoke, the Consti-
tuition would have been re- ected by
the people.
Thomas Jefferson never made d
speech. He could not do it. Napo
leon, whose executive ability was
almost without parallel. said that his
greatest trouble was in fadng men
of deeds rather than words. When
he was asked how he maintained his
influence over his superiors ia age

sENsE AND NONSENSE.

Money got by gaming is like a
! pyramid of snow,
| Make yourself all honey, aud the
flies will eat yen up.
There are some minds which We
must leave to their idiotism.
There two kinds of geniuses, the
clever and too clever.
Zeal without judgment is like gun
powder 10 the hands OF child.
Failures are with heroic minds
the stepping stone to success.
Those who make the world laugh,
often themselves laugh least.
We refuse to publish thousand
things for peace aud quietness sake.
Virtue, like a dowerlcss beauty,
has more admirers than followers.
One may live as a cotqucror, a
king, or magistrate; but he must
die as man
No promises are 30 often broken
as those for which no particular time
is fixed
Man leads woman TO the altar in
that act his leadership begins and
ends.
The kindness of distant friends is
like the polar sun, too far removed
to warm us.
To be independent OF external cir
cumstances is the first step towardo
the enjoyment of life.
If you desire to make friend of
a woman for life, pretend to mistake
her for her daughter.
You have scolding wife, trust
to time old age may bring you the
blessing of deafness.
Good intentions will never justify
evil actions nor will good actions
ever Justify evil intenti Jos.
