Selections from the Ialmua

The place honors not the man; tits the
man who gives honor to the place.
Ii word spoken in its time is worth
one piece OF money, silence in its time
is worth two.
When wine enters the head, the secret
flies out.
The camel desired horns, and his ears
were taken from him.
Silence is the fence round wisdom.
Rather be the tail among lions than
the head among foxes.
Truth is heavy, therefore few care to
carry it. :
Descend step in choosing thy wife:
ascend step in choosing thy friend.
Commit sin twice, and it will not
seem to thee a crime.
Despise no man, and deem nothing
impossible; every man hath his hour,
and everything its place.
The best preacher is the heart; the
best teacher is time; the best book is the
world; the best friend is God.
There is great difference between
one who can feel ashamed before his own
soul, and one who is only ashamed be.
fore his fellow-men.

OLD CHINESE BOOKS.

The trustees of the British Museum
have lately received from Pekin some ty-
biographical curioaities, in the shape of
eight volumes containing portions of
two Chinese works printed during the
thirteenth century. These books are
printed from wooden blocks, and display
marked inequality in the skill of the
type-cutters. The paper, which is the
ordinary Chinese paper, is in the case of
one work much discolored by age. The
volumes have evidently been carefully
preserved, and at one time belonged to
the library of Chinese prince, who,
In consequence of political intrigue,
was in 1860 condemned to die by a
'silken cord" Hence the dispersion of
his library.

Any day in summer one may meet
around the ferry dock an old lake c,p-
tain who was once crossing Saginaw Bay
in his schooner with such a gale howling
after him that no one expected the craft
to reach harbor. AS The gale reached
its climax, the captain announced to the
mate beside him:
"Mr. Thomas, If we come safe out of
this am done with whisky"
The mate said it was the same with
him, and the captain presently con-
tinued:
"And I'll never utter another OATH"
The mate agreed to also stop swear
ing, and this warmed the old man up to
promise:
"And I solemrIy declare. MIR.
Thomas, that I'll leave off chewing and
smoking"
"Ihere's another thing, captain, +"
shouted the mate, after awhile.
Whats that?''
"You might promise to leave off ly.
ing"
"Yes, hold on-hold on! No I'll
be hanged if 1 do! There's blue tky
over there, and we've seen the worst Of
IT! Git those men on deck ready to put
her about, and if you ever tell anybody
OF this I'll pulverize you to jelly"
