WORDS OF WISDOM.

Every place is safe to him who lives with jas.
tce.-Plato.
Nature has written letter OF credit on some
mems faces which Is honored whenever 1t is pre-
sented.
Conceit and confidence are both ofthem cheats
the frst always imposes on ITSELF the second fre.
quently deceiVes others too
Reflect upon your present blessings, Of which
every man has many; not on your past misfoE-
tuner, OF which all men have some.
Some men with swords may reap the field,
And plant with laurels where they kill;
Buttheir strong nervesst last must yield;
They tame but one another still.
Be as careful OF the books you read Ra Of the
company you keep; for your habits and chAracteR
will be as much influenced by the former RA the
latter.-Psxton Hood.

TAKE CARE OF YOUR HEALTH.

One Of the most foolish things that men or
women can do Is to kill themselves, or to exhaust
their energies and wreck their health. NJ one

one ordinarily thank them for their palms. What
you are is more important to ordinary minds
than what you have done. You may have per.

forget your services, and be attached by the su-
perlor personality Of others who may have accom-
plished far less than yourself.

Reveal the restless heart

What is that ye seekH
