a man Is rich indeed when he has
friends who are willing to stand by him
when his fortune disappears.
1t Is just about as difficult to ind a
good and sufficient excuse for doing
wrong, as ii Is to boil potatoes in cold
water.
IL you love each other you need not
spend your time in saying 50, for your
life will tell the truth, ven when your
lips fail to do so.
In the world, says Chamfort. you
have three sorts of friends-those who
love you, those who don't care q penny
for you and those who hate you.
II you want your children TO be good
you must be good yourself, for, as the
French say, "What is born Of a cat will
catch mice"
One OF the most delicate OF compli-
ments ever paid war by a gentleman
who was looking at the picture OF a
girl playing the Lutte. when | look at
that picture" he said, II always think
/ must be deaf"
One Of the hardest things in the
world is for an active man to give up
his business and to do nothing all the
rest Of his life and do 1t well.
Don't waste your time, because time
is money, says tho thrifty philosopher.
But the old gentleman wasted about
fifteen minutes Of somebody else's time
in sxpatiating on this truism. and
thought nothing of IL.
A certain amount of concession to
the opinions and rights of others is
absolutely necessary to a true neigh
borly relation with those who live near
you. II, IS the Irishman said, every
body should insist on standing still 1.
the street, how could anyone get by?
a man-ought moi to reflect too much,
because profound thought sometimes
goes to sad extremes and leads to
dangerous conclusions. A meditative
maj was roaming through an anatomi-
cal museum, and came across the
skeleton OF > monkey. !" he said
in reyerential awe, as lie adjusted his
green spectacles, 1--WE are, Indeed. fear
fully and wonderfully made"
A pure Hibernianism, one that has
the truo aroma Of the Emerald Isle
about it, is like a sweet morsel that can
be rolled under the tongue for many a
day and lose zone Of its pleasure giving
qualities. a street car conductor who
determined to enforce all the rules OF
his company saw a gentleman enjoying
a quiet cigar. He donncd his politest
manners, pulled his forclock, and said
blandly, ''Sir, If ye are going to smoke
on this car yell have to get of to do
it."
Shrewd business principles are some
times just a little elastic. 1t is ad-
United on all sides-frst, that a man
must have money il he is ever to enjoy
the respects OF the rich or the jealous
envy of tho poor; and, second, that the
best way to get money is to get it
honestly. But IL It can't he had
honestly, here comes the moral pinch.
The world is rather divided in opinion
rs to the exact amount Of obliqueness
Of action which is justified in its acqui-
sition. We judge, however, that the
world is rather lenient when We recall
certain men who built up a fortune By
means that would not bear n very strong
light, and who are received in such n
way that We are inclined to think
society has kindly forgotten the past, in
consideration of their large bank ac-
count. One of these gentlemen, whose
consciences are 81 good natured thai
they never demonstrate very forcilly,
advertised a concert ''for tho benefit OF
the poor" Everybody in town went;
for il there is n thing which every
body in the town likes to see,it is to get
their moneys worth Of pleasure and let
the manager OF the concert give all his
proceeds to some philanthcopic pur-
pose. The money, however, remained
80 long in the managers pocket that
some one asked him what he meant by
giving y concert for the benefit Of the
poor. What did l meant" answered
the man with the iron conscience, ''why,
meant simply that l would put the
