Words of Wisdom.

Life IS too short to nurse ones misery. Hurry them across the lowland, that you may finger longer on the mountain tops.
 The keenest abuse of our enemies will not hurt us so much in the estimation of the discerning as the einjudiciouspraise of our friends.
 The chief art in learning is to attempt but little at a time. The widest excur- sions of the mind are made by short flights, frequently repeated. Opportunity is the flower of time, and as the stalk may remain when the flower is cut off, so time may remain with us when opportunity is gone forever. Abstemiousness and frugality are the best bankers. They sow a handsome interest and never dishonor a draft drawn upon them by their humblest customer.
 Cheerfu.ness is just as natural to the heart of man in strong health as color to his cheek; and wherever there is habitual gloom, there must either be bad air, unwholesome food, improperly severe. labor, or erring habits of life.
 Our fortune depends enli irely upor ex- ternal causes, but our happiness pon ourselves. Its principal ingredier 5 are manly mind, an affectiOnate heart, and . temperate imagination. The first has the power to disarm affliction; the sec- ond to double every enjoyment; the last to guard us from wild wishes and vain nIlrSJlitq

UnSl,0d Horses.

It has been before stated that an ex- perienced farrier in England was advo- eating the abolishment of korseshoeing, and now a writer in the London IEnaes has been trying the experiment, and thus reports: When my pony's shoes were worn out had them removed, and gave him months rest at grass. with an oc- casional drive of mile or two on the high road while his hoofs were harden ing. The result at first seemed doubtful. The hoof was thin shell, and kept chipping away until it had worked down beyond the holes of the nails by which the shoes had been fastened. After this the hoof grew thick and hard, quite un- like what it had been before. now put the pony to full work, and he stands it we'll He is more sure-footed; his tread is almost noiseless; his hoofs are in no danger from the rough hand of the farrier; and the change altogether has been clear gain, without anything to set against it. My pony, may add, was between four and five years old-rising four, fancy, is the correct phrase. He had been regularly shod up to the pres ent year.

The Dead Presidents.

A review of the lives of the different Presidents of the United States is pro- ductive of some very interesting results. For instance, three of them died on the Fourth of July. John Adams and lief ferson both died on the country's birth day, July 4, 1926, and Monroe died on the 4th of July, 1881 Madison died on the 18th of June, 1886, and his friends were confident that he, too, would live until July 4th. If he had, then the sec ond, third, fourth and fifth Presidents would have diedlupon Independence Day. Taylor and Johnson both died in July. Every fourth President until Mr. Hayes was an old bachelor. Van Buren did not draw any of his salary until his term expired, when he drew it out in gold, "all in lump" Tyler died poor, and was one of the Confederate commission CTS at Montgomery. John Adams lived
 he longest; he was ninety-one years old when he died. Madison was eighty five; Jefferson, eighty-three; John Quincy Adams, eighty-one; Van Buren, eighty; Jackson, seventy eight; Blu chanan, seventy-seven Fillmore, sev- entv-four; Monroe, seventy-two; Tyler, seyenty-tw Harrison, sixty-eight, Washington, ,sixty-seven Johnson, sixty seven; Taylor, sixty; Lincoln, fifty-six :; Polk, fifty four; Pierce, ,forty-five. General Grant is the only living .x-President. Ty- Ter and Van Buren both died in 1862, Lin coin in 1865. Buchanan in 1868, Pierce in 1869, Fillmore in 1874 and Johnson in 1875

The Bright Side,

Look on the bright side-it is the right side. The times may be hard, but it will make them no easier to wear a gloomy and sad countenance. It is the sunshine and not the cloud that gives beauty to the flower There is always before or around us that which should cheer and fill the heart with warmth and gladness. The sky is blue ten times where it is black once You have troubles, it may be. So have others. None are free from them-and perhaps it is as well that none should be- They give sinew and tone to life-fortitude and courage to man. That would be a dull sea, and the sailor would never acquire skill, were there nothing to disturb its surface. It is the duty of every one to extract all the happiness and enjoyment he can from within and without him, and. above all, he should look on the bright side. What though things do look a little darkp The lane will have turning, and the night will end in broad day In the long run the great balance lights itself. What appears i'll becomes well-that which anoears wrong, right

Peculiar People.

Odd folks here and there are described
 in the newspapers. Roxbury, Mass,
 has an eccentric tramp who lives iii a cave during the winter and spends the
 summer in making begging excursions
 to the neighboring towns. He never | says a word, and his dress consists en- | tlrely of old bootlegs fastened together With leather strings. A small wagon,
 drawn by two goats, and containing a helpless, shrivled man, attracted atten-
 tion in Hagerstown, Md. He said that
 he had travelled in that manner for many years, and called himself the American Tourist" He is entirely helpless. His
 wife and four children accompany him and attend to his wants, getting their
 llV1ng by the sale of a temperance song
 and other small articles. Jefferson Stevens, who lives near Sulphur Springs, Ky, concludes that he is gifted with peculiar powers, of which he lately gave | street exhibition. He held a forked | dogwood switch, like those used by
 wizards, in his mouth, and told the crowd to ask any questions they pleased.
 A pair of tramps turned up at Des
 Moines, Iowa-Peter Carlisle and wife who were on their way to Leadville from the Pennsylvania coal regions. They had pushed a handcart all the
 way, containing their baby girl and a few household utensils. Carson Carr,
 of Noodle, Cal, will on no account walk
 a step, but always runs, no matter if the
 distance is only few feet; while Mrs
 Main, of Chicago. will neither walk nor run, although physically able to do
 either, because she thinks her legs will
 drop off if she stirs them.

Causes of Sudden Death.

Very few of the sudden deaths which are said to arise from diseases of the heart do really arise from that cause. To ascertain the real origin of the sudden deaths, an experiment was tried and re- ported to scientific congress at Stras- burg. Sixty-six cases of sudden death were made the subject of . thorough post-mortem examinations; in these cases only two were found who died from diseases of the heart. Nine out of sixty-six had died of apoplexy, while there were forty-six cases of congestion of the lungs; that is, the lungs were so full of blood that they could not work, not being room enough for & sufficient amount of air to support life. The causes that produce congestion of the lungs are cold feet, tight clothing, costive because sitting still until chilled after being warmed with labor or rapid walk, go- ing too suddenly from close room into the air, especially after speaking, too nasty walking. or running to catch train, etc. These causes of sudden death being known, an avoidance for them may serve to lengthen many valua- ble lives, which would otherwise be lost under the verdict of the heart com plaint That disease is supposed to be inevitable and incurable; hence many may not take the pains they would to avoid sudden death, if they knew it lay in their power.

Go to Bed.

 And back to bed. Ye who have griefs (and who has not?)

THE GERMAN BATTALION.

II the number Of pleasure-seekers that at
tended The German Battalion's picnic on Mon
day was not 50 large as that which INDUCED in
the festivities Sunday, the gayety was not at all
lessened for the want Of few more picnickers.
In fact. hundreds Of our people sought the
shades Of the grand trees Of Oakland Park In
the daytime, whilst at night the multitude
romped and danced to their hearts content In
the soft moonlight.
The principal feature OF the entertainment
was the competitive drill between three com.
panies Of the German battalion. company "a "
Capt Tennison; company B;' Capt: Assem-
The gold medal was awarded to the latter
company, whose formation Of company" was
perfect. Our German friends have reason to
achieved In every respect. From pecuniary
point of view we have reason to know that i
surpassed all expectations.
