Sense and Sentiment.

He lives best who thinks best, feels

Your character cannot be essentially
injured except by your own acts.
Men are no, judged by their inten.
tons, bat by the result OF their actions
Keep out Of debt. Franklin says
IT is hard for an empty bag TO stand
upright.
Justice is The bread Of nations. They
are always famishing for it.
To select well among old things is al
most equal to inventing new ones.
Diversity of opinion proves that things
are only what we think them.
A grave, wherever found, breaches a
short and pithy sermon.
Truth shines the brighter, the longer
we view il in contrast with its natural
foil, fiction.
Sorrows bumanize our race. Tears
are the showers that fertiIize the world.
Ifthe best mans faults were written
on his forehead he would draw his hat
over his eyes.
II thou seest man whose profession
Of kindness exceeds sincerity, look well
to thy purse or principles,
Who is powerful He who can con
troll his passions. Who is rich He who
is contented with what be has.
When we are alone, we have to watch
our thoughts; in the family circle our
te'npers; in company our tongues.
II there is a past 10 which men have
done i'll, let them have hope, for there
is future in which they may do well.
Remembrance Of The dead soon fade.
Alas in their tombs, they decay more
slowly than IN our hearts.
No human scheme can be so accu-
ratcfy projected, but some little clrcum-
stances may intervene to spoil it.
The truly illustrious are they who do
not court the praise of the world, but
perform the actions which deserve il.

CARRYING CONCEALED WEAPONS
We have had occasion heretofore TO re-
mark that carrying concealed weapons
is one Of the most pernicious practices
that modern civilization has developed.
II Is the cGtsd causnns OF perhaps three
Iourths OF the homicides hich stain our
criminal jurisprudence. Gould legisla-
lures and courts discover some method
by which this causeless evil practice can
be reformed, The result would be vast
saving of valuable lives to the common
wealth. A more vigorous prosecution,
the severer punishment Of yiolators Of
this wholesome statute, would mark an
era of reform, aud OF more peaceful
state of society. If offenders in high
