At thirty we are all trying to cut
our names in big letters upon the walls
of this tenement of life twenty years
later we have carved 1t or shut up our
jacknife.
The way to acquire lasting esteem is
not by the fewness of II writers faults,
but the greatness of his beauties, and
our noblest works are generally most
replete with both.
1t is perfectly delightful-the phi
losophy with which we reconcile our
selves to the misfortunes of our neigh
bors. That another should be hungry
after we have dined is a consideration
that distresses nobody.
1t is with nations as with indivi-
duals those who know the least of
others think the highest of them
selves; for the whole family OF
pride and ignorance are inces-
tuous, aud mutually beget each
other.
Examples of vicious cources, prac
ticed in domestic circle, corrupt more
readily and more deeply when we be
hold them in persons of authority.
Character is power it makes friends
creates funds, draws patronage and
support, and opens a sure way to honor
wealth AM happiness.

PUT NOBODY ON GUARD.-In the spring of 1865, when Sheridan's cavalry moved up the Shenandoah valley to have last wrestle with Early's troopers, halt was made by portion of the Union force near Waynesboro'. Guards were thrown out u protect property, and among others the house of a lone and aged widow received such protection. Two dismounted cavalrymen were stationed at the front door, and it was half sn hour or 30 be- fore any stir in or around the house gave token that it was inhabited Then the widow limp ed to the door on crutch and called one of the guards to her and asked:
 s'What are you doing?
 ''We are guards to protect you and your property" was the reply.
 ''Well, you needn't fool away any time here. Early he came and he took our hay. fsaen Sheridan came and he took our corn Then Mosby he stole our hams and 'taters. Then Sheriden took k|our flour and cider. Then Early run off all our horses. All 1 had left this morning was an cid sick mule and meal enough for one hoe-cake. The mule he died two hours ago and I've just eaten the last of the cake, and if you can find anything worth guarding around here you can have it and tote it off,"
 "But some of the soldiers may disturb you"
 "I guess not" she said, as she pointed to the hole where a annon-ball had torn through the house. 'The day that hole was shot through there was rocking and singing the Pilgrims Hope" and didn't miss rock nor drep note 1 Idon't hardly think one brigade of horse-sojers can disturb me very much.

SOME CoFFINs. There was an extraordina- ry character in Yorkshire, at the beginning of the present century, named Jenny Hrst, of Rawcliffe, who was a well-known figure at Doncaster and York races, and whose singular eccentricities had spread his fame even as far as London. When Jemmy had made his for tune as tanner, he resolved to cut the tan- yard and "set up as swelr' for the remain der of his life. The first step he took to that end was to procure handsome oaken cofin, furnished with a folding lid, which was let into the corner of his parlor like a cupboard, and filled with provisions and liquor When Jem- my Hirst died. rich and full of years, he left directions in his will that he was to be buried in the aforesaid cofffn and that his body was to be carried to the grave by eight old maids, who were toreceive half guinea apiece for their services. The eight old maids, how ever, were not forthcoming, and eight buxom
 widows were engaged, at half a crown head, to do duty as bearers. The motley proces- sion was headed bv bagpipes and fiddle, and the country folks f1ocked in by hundreds to pay their last respects to Jemniy Hirst, of Rawclffe. He died, think, in 1926. 1 re- member also hearing of MT. Ellis King who lived in Kings Bench Walk some 80 years ago. and who kept hrs coffin in his chambers,
 filled with wine and spirits to be drunk by his friends on the day of his funeral. The coffin occupied conspicuous place in the room, and was always solemnly toasted at his convivial parties the last thing before the guests took their leave. .-Notes and Queries.
