Miscellaneous Clippings.

{
Hope is the dream of those who
are awake.
Worth begets in base minds envy;
in great souls, emulation.
When mans upper story is emp
ty his mouth will advertise the fact.
There are three things which dis
quiet the world, money, beauty and
gossips.
"Fear God and take your own
partp was the reverent but brave
and independent maxim of George
Borrow.
What the superior man seeks is
in himself; what the small.man seeks
is in others.
The trouble aud worry and wear
and tear that comes from hating
people makes hating Improbable.
When you receive a favor you
ought never to forget it; when you
do one ououghtnot to remember it.
The great mistake that most peo-
pie make is that they think more OF
their cunning than they do of their
honesty.
If we could only make the world
think as much of us as we think of
ourselves we should then be proper
ly appreciated.
There is more religion ia paying
one hundred cents on the dollar than
in some of the most eloquent pray
ers ever delivered.
A word of kindness is seldom
spoken in vain. 1t is seed which,
even when dropped by chance,
springs up flower.
"The higher a station is" says
Louis XIV, "the more duties it has
which one can neither see nor I'M
derstand but by occupying it."
Men who stand for the right are
always respected; while those who
pander to mere policy, who carry
water on both shoulders, are soon
dispised.
If nobody read or commented on
abusive articles, they would soon
disappear from the public press
The reader who enjoys them is a
party to SANDER.
"Gossip," says George Eliot, lis a
sort of smoke that comes from the
dirty tobacco pipes of those who
diffnse it; it proves nothing but the
bad taste of the smoker"
Some people do all the talking,
while others do all the work. 1t is
really astonishing how much these
takers accomplish. To judge by
their conversation, one would think
all the rest of the world drones.
Misunderstanding for any other
purpose than needed change, relax.
alton from work, mental rest, does
not tend to morality and virtue; a
true man seldom courts amusement
for its own sake, but finds his enjoy
ment in his business, object in life,
duty.
The wise man in the Hebrew
scriptures said that those who in
dulge in vice shall at last be holden
by 'sthe cords of their own sins.'-
Indulgence in vice produces habits,
and those habits become the govern
ing power of life. The evil-doer be
comes bound, self-imprisoned. His
will power is lost.

The State of Texas viii spend
$1,105, 260 for public schools this
year. Louisiana follows at an i'm
mense distance behind, with balance
In the treasury, reserved out of the
expenditures from the school fund
for alien purposes, of nearly $40. 600.
This insignificant sum has not yet
been apportioned by the State Super

it. We must concede that Texas is

Why SHOULD THEY.-No man or
woman can do satisfactory work when
the brain is dull, the nerves unsteady,
the system relaxed and they feel gem

Ginger Tonic will at moderate cost

My wife has had q very strong
prejudice against all kinds of pat
ents for years, and, especially,
washing machines. So strong was
her prejudice in this direction that
even after l had bought one of
your washers and carried it home
Ifoundit difficult to prevail upon
her to try it. Her mind was made
up from the beginning not to like
it, but to her great delight, after
once trying it, she is prepared tc
say that it is all you claim for it
The washer is a remarkable sue.

house-keeper should get one JUS
as soon as possible. 1t saves 6
vast deal Of labor and trouble, ant

one-half the soap.

Dawson has a nuisance in the
shape Of a lot of goats. There
was at one time an ordinance pro-
hibiting persons keeping goats
within the city limits, and if it has
not been repealed it ought to be
inforced-if it has been repealed
let it be reinstated. Goats should
not be allowed to run at large in
any town for the reason that they
are troublesome in more ways than
one.

Maj. Kit Warren, of Leesburg,
delivered a lecture at College
Chapel on last Thursday evening
to an appreciative audience. The
subject was "The baby" and right
nicely did he handle the little fell
low. The Major being a bachelor,
we are at a loss to know how he be-
came so well acquainted with the
baby kingdom, unless he was at
one time a baby himself. The
proceeds of the lecture we're all
donated to the new Methodist
church at Browns Station.
