WISE WORDS.

Confidence generally inspires conf
dence.
Venture not upon the threhcld of
wrong,
People do not lack spel.gtb; they
lack will
1 hold him 70 he dead in whom
shame is dead.
Injure not another's reputation OF
business,
He is the greatest who choosec TO do
right at all times.
He who prays for his neighbor will
he heard for himself.
Where the mind inclines the feet
lead. Love climbs mountains.
Nothing is more dangerous to men
than a sudden change in fortune.
A prison is never narrow when the
imagination can range in it at will.
The days are made on loom, where
of the warp and woof are past and fu-
ture time,
There are few thugs reason Can dis
cover with so much certainty and ease
as its own insuficiency,
Confidence in an unfaithful man in
time Of trouble is like a broken tooth
and a foot out of JOINT.
A mans country is not a certain area
of land, of mountains, rivers and woods
but it is principle; ana patriotism
is loyal to that principle.
Do not speak with contempt and
ridicule Of locality where you may be
visiting. Find something to truthfully
praise and commend; thus make yodr.
self agreeable.
Sorrow is a kind Of rust of the soul,
which every new idea contri utes in its
passage TO scour away. 1t is the putre-
faction Of stagnant life, and it IS
remedIed by exercise and motion.

am quite sure that had met a small
boy of about the size of Oliver Twist
at night in the old lady's garden I
should have shot at him.
The rapping would cease for a night
or two and then commence again. l
felt that this business must come to a
stop. My employers, leading grocers,
had noticed my sleepiness during busi-
ness hours, and had complained aboutit.
One night this spring wearily L
climbed the garden fence, pistol in hand
for it had become a mechanical pro-
cess now-and dropped into wash
tub of water, placed with devilish in
genuity on a three-legged stool. AS l
fell over my pistol went off. The
neighborhood was aroused at last, but 1
distinctly heard in the bathroom that
overlooked the old lady's garden peals of
laughter, and young woman appeared
at the window who was apparently en-
joying the scene.
If this brutal conduct on the part of
that girl were not sufficient, think of
the impertinence of young man who
called next day on me at our place Of
business. AS L have said, 1 am clerk
in the wholesale grocery line, and drug
gists' clerks are always stuck-up crea-
lures. That young sprig twirled a stick
in one hand and in the other he had a
card. 1 am to suppose his name was
written on it. "See here" said he,
making his stick whiz through the air
within few inches of my nose. "See
here, oleOmargarine, Goldfish, prunes,
pickles and glucose, you have been fool
ing around grandmother's place long
enough, and you are a precious ass, and
Mary Jane-that's my cousin, a lady L
am going to marry-has had quite
enough Of your nonsense. What

revenue stamp on it, you must
be not know that the old lady has got
robber on the brain bad when she's
awake, but when she's asleepof nights,
bless her, she snores away like a hum
ming top. A Chinee cracker under her
ear wouldn't as much as faze her. Now.
the old woman never had any use for
your hammer, but l guess from what
Mary Jane has told me she has been
pounding around with it quite promis-
cuously. Now, see here, here is your
hammer, and do you take it before 1
make you swallow it, handle, claw and
all, just as if it were a glass of cream
soda, and the very next time L hear
you have ventured to cross that fence,
or to put that big foot of yours in my
grandmother's house, 1 will just thrash
you dizzy, and listen to some good adj
vice-change your boarding-house, figs,
even if you have to go back on your
landlady."

The Cradle of The BonthInck.

New York lays claim TO be the place
where the street bootblack first ap-
peared, but Boston says the professional
bootblack is essentially an institution of
the Hub The TrGoeL5er of the lat
ter clty says at first the business was
associated with window washing,
chimney-sweeping, clothes cleaning and
waiting and tending. In time, how
ever, it became a distinct branch, and
many of the boOtblacks of that day ac-
quired a handsome independence and
became real estate holders. The Gus
tom then was to call at the homes of
the gentry, take the boots and shoes,
string them on long poles and carry
them TO their respective places of busi-
ness, polish and return them at an early
aour the next day. These poles would
iold a dozen or more pairs, and it was
novel sight to see the bootblacks
passing TO and fro.

With moaning where the rushes grow;
And e'er beneath the tide and moan

With thousand tongues of leaves, enEood
The place with solemn, dirge-like hymns,
And there through sound familiar grown
Sounded an underlone.

Lift me from ife's sharp rocks and float me,
Sleep,
{ Far out upon thy waters all alone.
There let me sink beneath the soft sea
moan
OF wind and wave into the Silly deep.
Nor any jot Of my wrecked fortunes keep
To float me with, no face that have
known
Of friend or foe, nor that worst face-my
own;
I would be dead and cease to laugh and weep.
In soft forgefuiness my spirit still,
Till busy morning sees me cast ashore,
To face the grind of customs daily drill,
To find life's apple rotten at the core;
So but Gods arm were round me 'twere not

If sleep we're death, and ife's dull fit wero
