The unfortunate are always egotistical.
We SOW many seeds to get few lwers.
A delicate thought is flower OF the mind
Those who have known real grief seldom seem
sad.
The worst of all misaliances is that Of the heart
Blgotry murders religion, to irlghten fools with
her ghost
Idleness is not vice; 1t is rust that destroys
all virtue
Everybody knows good counsel except him
that hasn of It,
AfEectation is greater enemy to the face than
the small pox.
Women, even in extremes, are always either
better or worse than men,
We raise in glory, as we sink in pride,
When bJastinR ends, then dignity begins,
Young
What renders the vanity OF others unbearable
to us is in the wound 1t inflicts on ours
There is no distinguished genius altogether ex.

To be able to bear provocau n, is al argument
Of great reason, and to forgive It, Of great

Kindness is slowed away In the heart like rose

Prudence and love are not made for each other;
in proportion as love increases, prudence dimin,

Prejudice and self sufIiciency naturally proceed
from inexperlence OF the world and ignorance OF
mankind.
Love Is far from being a gay passion. True
love is almost always chagrined, melancholy and
illhumored.

BY THE PASSAIC.

From "The Poems anil Stories OF FltJan
o'Brien," by William Winter
Where the river seeks the cover
or the trees whose boughs hang over,
And the slopes are green with clover,
In the quiet month of May;
Where the eddes meet and mlngle,
Babbllng Ger the stony shlngle,
There angle,
There dange
All the day.
Oh, It's sweet to feel the plastic
Rod, with top and butt elastic
Shoot the line In coils fantastic,
Till, like thistle down, the fly
Lightly drops upon the water,
Thirsting for the finny slaughter,
AsIangle
And dangle,
Mute and sly,
Then Gently shake the tackle,
Till the barbed and fatal hackle
In its tempered Jaws shall shackle
That old tout, so wary grown,
Now strike him Joy ecstatlc!
Securing runs leaps acrebatlc
SO angle,
So dangle
All alone.
Then when grows the sun too fervent,
And the lurking trOuts obserVant,
Say to me, "YOur humble servant
Now we see your treacherous hooGp
Maud, as If by hazard wholly.
Saunters down the pathway slowly,
While angle
There to dangle,
With her hook.
Then somehow the rod reposes,
And the books no page unclOses
But read the leaves OF roses
That unfold upon her cheek;
And her small hand white and tender,
Rests In mine. All what can send her
Thus to dangle,
While angle?

Why He "Sweared Off,"

Senator Garland, of Arkansas, one of
the -brainiest members of the United
States Senate, in former times was very
fond of a toddy and q good time with
the boys now and then. He is teto-
taller now, and when rallied not long
ago by some OF his fellow-senators on
his abstemiousness, gave the following
cause thereof: "No gentlemen, there's
nothing the matter with me, but I've
stopped, You know we had pretty
hot canvass in Arkansas last summer,
and / went all over the state stumping.
Well, L saw the graves Of good fellows
who began with me, and who are now
in the dark valley or the light one,
whichever it may be. l saw the wrecks
of other men who started with me to be
jolly and good fellows. The graves and
the wrecks set me thinking. From
thinking began to calculate. Well, on
a rough calculation, L found that had
already drank about a barrel and half
of whisky more than was entitled 70
Then l said TO myself that II drs k
any more l should be drinking some
other fellows whisky, and, as L didn't
want to do that, l stopped. There you
have the whole story
