MORAL AND RELIGIOUS.
MIKE thc hest Of Things.

We excuse man for an occasional de-
preston Just as we endure a rainy day.
But who could endure three hundred
and sixty-iive days Of cold drizzle? Yet
there are men who are, without cessa-
ton, somber and charged with evil
prognoBiication. We may be born with
IA melancholy temperament, but there il
no reason why we should yield TO it..
There is a way Of shuiiling the burden.
In the lottery Of life there are no more
prizes drawn than blanks, and 60 one
misfortune there are fifty adyan-
tages. Dependency is the most
Improbable feeling man can
have. One good laugh is a bomb-shell
exploding in the right place, while
spleen and discomfort is gun that
kicks over the man that shoots it of.
Some must have got into heaven back
ward. Let us stand of from dcspond-
encies. Listen for sweet notes rather
than discords In a word where God
has put an exquisite tingc upon the
shell washed in the surf, and planted a
paradise Of bloom in child's check, let
us leave it to the owl TO hoot, and the
toad to croak, and the fault-Gnder to
complain. Take outdoor exercise and
avoid late suppers, if you would have
a cheerful disposition. The habit Of
complaint finally drops into pccyishness,
and people become waspish and map

buried AlINe Pour Dars.

Some days ago Mrs. Banks, Of Lynch
burg, Mason county, H., was buried,
though some persons present at the
funeral thought they saw signs Of life
in the supposed corpse. A Charleston
IN letter to the indianapolis Journal
gives the sequel as follows The day
after the funeral the grave was opened
and the caskct cover removed, when il
was seen that the hands, which had been
tied together and placed upon the
bosom, were lying by the side. Sup
posing her X be dead, no further signs
Of life being visible, they rcadiusted the
hands, closed and lowered the casket
and covered up the grave. A few DAYS
later friends persuaded the husband to
have the remains examined again, which
he did, and again found her hands lying
bv her side. and also her hair disheveled.
Still there seemed no signs Of life, and
the third time the body was covered in
the grave. BY this time the excitement
began TO intensity in the community
until, on the fourth day after the burial,
the body was again e1humed and again
the same evidences of protracted life as
formerly were plainly observed. The
body was taken home, medical aid
called, and restorative agencies applied.
The last account we have Of the case is
that the patient is recovering and will
probably soon stand before thaworld a
living example of person who had lain
| four days in the grave.

PEARLS OF THOUGHT.

There is no secret nook whore a man
may hide from his fate.
We seduce ourselves into downright
lying by slight provocations.
1t is better to be blamed for doing
your duty, than praised for not doing it,
Oaths are straws, mems faiths are
wafer cakes, and holdfast is the only
dog.
Many have blown iEto the trump Of
fame, but few have filed it 80 that il
sounded.
Some men seem constantly turning
an internal grindsione to keep their
anger sharp.
1t is not the many oaths that make
tho truth, but the plain single vow that
is vowed true.
Let no man presume TO give good
advice to others that has not first given
good counsel to himself.
No one believes that he can mystify
his mind but every ono imagines that
he can gull his conscience.
How is it possible to expect that
mankind will take advice when they
will not as much take warning.
Youth is the spring for planting the
seeds OF knowledge; age, the autumn
for watching them ripcn into wisdom.
Remember this They that will not
be counsclcd cannot be helped. If you
do not hear reason she will rap your
knuckles.
When you would indicate the evil
doing of another, be sure that you are
not endeavoring to make an argument
which shall fit your own case some
time.
When you are smitten on the one
check, it is good to turn tho other; but
that is no reason for protruding the
check before blow has been threat
ened.
Truth, they say, lies at tho bottom
Of we'll That is reason enough why
SO few OF us are acquainted with her.
Few like to intrust themselves TO the
bucket and windlass.
II is well once in a while to turn over
the leaves Of our past lives, and mark
distinctly those passages that denote
errors, so that, in tho future, We may
more easily refer to them as warnings
and the ways that would again mislcad
us.

Mars Of Catching Fish.

The Tcelanders are said, at ono time,
TO have taught bears to jump into tho
sea and catch seals. The China birds
are equally we'll trained, for ut signal
they dive into the lakes and bring mp
large fish grasped in their bills.
In Greece the fishermen use branches
of pine stepped in pitch and lighted;
the inhabitants of Amorgos use cypress
leaved cedar. which serves, when lighted
as a flambeau: and tho Chinese fish in
the night with white painted boards,
placed in manner to reflect the rays Of
the moon upon the water doubly. These
attract the flsh TO the boat, when the
men cast a large net, and seldom fail 10
draw out considerable quantities.
Anchovies are fished for also in q SINH
lar manner.
