A Famous DO0rkeeper.

When Jackson was President, Jimmy
O'Neill, the Irish doorkeeper of the
White House, was marked character.
He had his foibl,s, which often Of
Tended the fastidiousness of the Presi-
dents nephew and secretary, Major
DonPlson, who caused his dismissal on
an average of about once a week. But
on appealing to the higher court the
verdict was always reversed by the
good general. Once, however, Jimmy
was guilty of some fragrant offense,
and, being summoned before the
President himself, was thus addressed:
"Jimmy, / have borne with you for
years in spite of all complaints, but
this goes beyond my power of endur-
ance." "And do you believe the
story?" asked Jimmy. Certainly"
said the general; 81 have just heard it
from two senators" "Faith," re-
tnrted Ii,on,y. "if hnlio~od all tho+
twenty senator's say about you, it's
little I'd think you was fit to be Presi-
dent" "Pshawl Jimmy" concl lded
the general, clear out and go back to
your duty, but be more careful here
after" Jimmy not only retained his
place to the close of Jackson's presi-
Dental term, but accompanied him
back to the Hermitage. and was with
him to the day of his death.

WORDS OF WISDOM.

The less men think the more uneJ
talk.
Women are most perfect when mos
womanly.
Those wounds heal Ill that men dc
give themselves.
Fear invites danger; concealed cow.
ards insult known ones.
1t is easier to suppress the first de-
sire than to satisfy all that follow it.
Some temptations come to the in
dustrious, but all temptations attack
the idle.
Distinction is not in being heard of
far and wide, bnt In being solid,
straightforward and loving the right.
Precarious and uncertain gains are
usually as speedily dissipated. Try, if
possible, to save portion of whatever
you receive, to lay by.
Good qualities, though hidden, be-
come unveiled, and shine throughout
the world. The flower of jasmine, al
though dried up, sends sweet fra
grarlce everywhere.
Appearances seldom ought to deter
mine our Judgment. When the honor,
probity Or reputation of some one is
the matter in question, it ought not to
be pronounced without thorough in
veStigation of the subject; and in that
case. suspicious are never certainties.

view of destroying them. Within

and the soil without moisture, the

destroyed vitality. 1t is not certain.

not again appear in unusual freshness
and vigor. What has been stated
regarding the dandelion and its tenar
city of life applies to most noxious
weeds, and the question comes comes
up, Why is it that plants that He do
not want, that are an injury to the
fields, have capabilities of growth, when
valuable plants around them are

purpose in the world. IF we could
remove them from our fields as readily
and as effectively as we can the wheat
or the maize plants, it would not be
long before they would cease to annoy
us. 1t is probable that everythingthat
grows exists for q purpose, and what
