Condensed Philosophy.

The aim of education is the desire to
learn. Al
Virtue is the safest helmet-the
most secure defence.
No man is more miserable than lie
that hath no adversely.
Character would be impossible were
there no reputation.
An effort made for the happiness Of
others lifts us above ourselves.
We shall be free from evil desires
only when we are pure in heart.
He who can suppress moments
anger may prevent day of sorrow.
The faculty of reasoning seldom or
never deceives those who trust to it.
Man does not lack so much the
knowledge of his duty as his will for
it.
Half the ills we hoard in our hearts
are ills because we hoard them.
He that wrestles with us strength
ems our nerves and sharpens our skill.
Rumshops make murders, and apa-
thetlc Christians make rumshops.
Measure not men by Sundays, with
out regarding to what they do all the
week after.
The power to do great things gen
orally arises from the willingness to
do small things.
The two powers which constitute
wise man are those or bearing and for
bearing.
The qualities we possess never make
US so ridiculous as those we pretend
to have.
Education begins the gentleman but
reading, good company and reflection
must finish him.
In ourselves, rather than in material
nature, lies the true source and life Of
the beautiful
Youth is the tassel and silken flower
of love; age is the full corn, ripe and
solid in ear.
Hope is like the sun, which, as we
journey toward it, casts the shadow of
our burden behind us.
Principles are very important, but
they need to be adorned with grace to
render them attractive.
Do not allow ldleness to deceive you,
for while you give it to-day it steals
from you tomorrow. s.. es.

the power Of a true life upon all with
whom it comes in contact.

GEORGE ALFRED TOWNSEND, the not
ed Washington correspondent, recent
ly had an interview with Col. Corkhill,
United States District Attorney, who
has Charles Julius Guiteau in charge.
Mr.. Townsend asked, well, Colonel
Corkhill, can you understand that a
scheme of assassination like this was
yet relevant to the facts of the dayP
The following is Corkhill's reply: AS
to that, Guiteau has made collection
of newspaper publications, severe criti-
cisms on Garfield, nearly all taken
from the Republican press. You must
remember that before Garfield was
shot there was a good deal of hard
comment upon him. Perhaps the ma
jority of Republican newspapers were
invidious and censorious. A few of
them were full of gall. Correspond.
ents were sent to Washington for the
purpose of writing Garfield down. He
was accused of incincerity, cunning,
malice and many other things. The
Senate was arrested for long period,
not acting on the business before it;
this man Guiteau, impecunious, un-
easy, and rushing up toward fame,
thought he perceived justif cation
enough to go and buy that pistol with
his last cent and shoot Garfield. That
is what | make out of the contents of
his mind,' said Corkhlll. "That is
the line of justification he takes-that
his motives were good; that God in
spired them, and that the result shows
that God was on his side, and that he
was not mistaken; that he had no
malice-indeed, it was only sacri-
flee to mission-a great duty" Here
we have Corkhill's s theory of the case,
the Republican factional fight, the de-
nunciations of Garfield by the Repub-
lican papers. Out of these things
low, vulgar, infamous things-came
the crack of Guiteau's murderous pis-
tol, the death of Garfield, and the ele-
vation of Arthur to the office of Presi
dent of the United States.

Why Ostriehes Eat Stones.

An ostrich's digestion is aided by stones
or pebbles which the bird puts into lis
stomach to grind the food it has eaten.
This habit is brought out by the follow
ing narrative told in Forest and Stream.
OF visitors experience, while at an os.
trlch farm in South Africa:
The first familiarity one of them yen-
lures to take is to make a snap at our
neck. We give him slap and stand
back.
"Ol he's only after your breast-pip." 1"
says the farmer; II forgot to tell YOU to
keep your jewelry out of sight" Sss
This is easily removed, but the inauisi
tive b rd makes peck at the top button
OF my coat, and when / find at at last
that he does not seem to be very strong
in the beak, and that this is not his wea.
pom OF offense, I let him continue che op-
perations.
II we ask why these birds have a pas-
SION for buttons and studs, and bright
things generally, including iack-kniyes.
the farmer replies that they are in the
habit OF eating pebbles and stones to
help digestion by the trituration of their
food. The harder the stones the better
and 1t is probable they associate bright.
