| they are either not come or gone.
Death comes to a good man to relieve
him; it comes to bad one to relieve
society.
If woman is truly beautiful, let not
her beauty be made dim by the fash Of
diamonds.
He who despises praise will not be
likely to practice the virtues that would
entitle him 10 it.
Tranquil pleasures last the longest.
We are not fitted to bear long the bur-
den of great joys.
The wasp attacks the ripest fruit first;
so will slander attempt to wound the
most honest fame.
J The face of truth is not the less fair for
all the counterfeit wizards that have
been put upon her.
The misery of idleness is nearly as
manifest in high life as in rags and filth
of extreme poverty.
Accustom yourself to some employ
ment for every hour you can prudently
snatch from business.
In the time that men waste in bewail.
ing the perverseness of their fortune,
they could gain a competency.

man really is so; but he that thinks him
self the wisest is generally the greatest
fool.
Sorrow comes soon enough without
dependency; it does man no good to
carry around lightning-rod to attract
trouble.
The violet grows low and covers itself
with its own tears, and of all flowers,
yields the sweetest fragrance. Such is
humility.
If you ask an obstinate man to incline
his ears to reason, he is very likely to in
cline them backwards, like horse bent
on mischief.
Love cannot fully admit the feeling
that the beloved object may die; all pas
sions feel their object to be as eternal as
themselves.
The great see the world at one end by
tiattery, the little at the other end by
neglect; the meanness which both dis
cover is the same.
| You may gain applause by one great,
wise, or fortunate action; to avoid CEN
sure, you must pass whole life without
saying one bad or foolish thing.
| Whenever you find great deal of
gratitude in poor man, you may take
it for granted there would be as much
generosity if he were a rich man.
| "A story is told of Scotch elder which
illustrates the fact, already too well
known, that ingenuity is much stronger
in some men than conscience. In Scot
land 1t is the custom to stand in public
prayer. One Sunday worthy elder
happened to fall asleep while standing
at the head of his seat during prayer,
and unfortunately he made a further slip
by falling all his length along the pass
age. Instead, however, of making any
fuss about it and exposing himself to the
charge of sleeping in church, he lay still
as if in a fit, and allowed himself to be
carried into the vestry, while the doctor
felt his pulse and pronounced it decid-
ed case Of falling sickness. After the
patient had recovered, by the application
of cod water to his temples, the doctor
sage.y advised him to eat only the mos,
laxative food, and drink nothing strong
er than table-beer, by way of preventing
q recurrence of the sickness.
"A San Jose lady, who, it was sup,
posed, had gone to the theatre, saw her
husband hugging and kissing the SER
want girl, whereupon she knocked him
senseless with poker and broke the
nose of the girl. Now there is sensible
woman; but she has had to pay $500 for
the fun.
The life of every human being is
governed by one master-thought-th
life, we say Of human beings, not human
vegetables.
IF man has acquired wealth he can
do nothing better with his money than
to keep it in healthy circulation in his
own town. He has the opportunity to
build up new branches of business that
will furnish occupation to large numbers
| of people, and by creating new industries
he also increases the value of other mems
property as well as his own.
The latest use of paper appears to
be for chimney-pots. They are made in
Breslau, and are light and durable. Be-
fore the paper pulp is moulded and
pressed into the required shape, it is
treated with chemicals which render it
non-infiammable. Specimens OF paper
and cloth made from the California
cactus were recently exhibited before
the MarylandAcademy of Sciences. The
cactus grows abundantly in many Of our
Western States and territories, and it is
found on arid soil where nothing can be
cultivated. The success that has been
met with in making paper from this
plant is so marked that the business will
probably be attempted on larger scale
"A tourist, the morning after his arri-
val at Venice, hired a gondola in order
to see the city. Having passed under
the Bridge of Signs, and reached tie
spot rendered memorable by the mourn
flu; history of Marino Falerio, the Condo
lier took out his watch, and politely said,
ave rest for ten minutes here"
With that he lighted his pipe.
"What are you waiting fOrT asked the
traveller
"Sir,' replied the gondolier, cts the
usual time allowed for emotion, for poet
ic feeling"
| And the tourist had to wait till the ten
minutes were up.
Il LOVE OF CHILDREN.-Tell me not of the
trim, precisely arranged homes, where
there are no children; where" as the
good German has it, "the fly-traps al.
! ways hang straight on the wall ;n-tell
me not of the never disturbed nights and
days; of the tranquil, unanxious hearts,
! where children are noti care not for
these things. God sends children for
another purpose than merely to keep up
the race-to enlarge our hearts, to make
us unselfish, and full of kindly sympa-
thies and affections; to give our souls
higher aims, and to call all our faculties
to extended enterprise and exertion; to
bring round our fire-side bright faces and
happy smiles, and loving, tender hearts,

The woman had little daughter, q
