Fools will often make success
where prudent people fail.
We cannot be liberal unless we
avoid petty motives.
The bane of distrust viii tend TO
extinguish inspiration.
Honesty of purpose must not be
held as evidence of ability.
Next to love, sympathy is the
divinest passion of the human
heart.
!tis no vanity for a man to pride
himself on what he has honestly got
and prudently uses.
Ideas generate ideas; like a potato,
which, cut in pieces, reprodnces
itself in q multiplied form.
To endeavor to work upon the
vulger with fine sense is like at
tempting to llew a block of marble
with razor.
There, is az unfortunate dispesi-
.tion in 9 man to attend much more
to the faults of his companions
which offend him, than TO their per.
feetions which please hin.

THE LOCAL PAPER.

The Chicago Tribune, one Of the
leading papers of the West, tells a
great deal Of truth in a few words
in this article:
What tells so readily the stand
ard Of a town or city as the appear
ance Of its paper? And it's youth
or its age can as well be determined
as by a personal notice. The enter
prise Of its citizens is depicted by
its advertisements, their liberality
by the looks of the paper. Some
papers show a good, solid, healthy
foundation, plethoric purses, and a
wcll-to-do appearance generally;
others show striving to contend
with the grasping thousands around
them, trying to wrench ont an ex-
istence from the close-fsted CON-
nunity around them. An coca
sional meteoric display in its
columns shows what it can 90 if
it had the means, but 1t cannot con-
tinue its expensive work until sup
port comes which ought to readily
be granted.
A newspaper is like a church; /;
it wants fostering; then it can re-
fleet credit on it's location. Take
your home paper. It gives you
more news Of Immediate interest
than New York or other papers; it
talks to you when other localities
belle you; it stands up for your
rights; you always have a champion
in yorr home paper, and those who
stand up for you should certainly
be we'll sustained. Your interests
are kindred and equal, and you
must rise or fail together. There
fore, it is to your interest to sup
port your home paper; not grndg-
ingly, but in a liberal spirit; as a
pleasure, not as q disagreeable duty;
but as an investment that will am
ply pay the expenditure.

ciating his worth, was willing to

An eminent French Surgeon,

him:

Of light, then more distinct visions.
The blind father was banded q rose ;
he had smelled one before. but he
had never seen one; then he looked
upon The face Of his wife, who had

A WoMAN's GLovEs.-A crit.
cal observer makes this sensible re-
mark: "a woman's glove is to her
what vest is to man." Precise
ly when a man is agitated or per-
picked he at once attacks his vest
button, thus giving occasion for Ger.
tain very expressive slang phrase.
A woman's vest does not admit, of
this sort Of pulling down. but her
glove is always a source Of inspira-
ton and refuge from any embar-
rassment. She smooths on the
finger, rearranges the button, drags
ont the wrinkles, look critically at
the fit, and does a dozen little
things with her gloves that betray
or allay nervousness and sustain the
truth of the above quotation.-Bos-
ton Gazette

HAPPY AND UNHAPPY W0.
MEN.

Some few women may enjoy be-
ING knocked about in the world
may even find relish in scrambling,
elbow to elbow, with men for
places in the front ranks of work
ers; but these few stand in the
same relation to their sist,:s as
does a man Of genius to his ordi-
nary brother; an unnatural thing,
an anomaly. The few women who
enjoy such a life as it is known that
Q woman of the working world
must live, have, by their injadicious
over-enthusiasm, done more harm
than they dreamed they were REM
edying. The independence of wo-
man has cast such a light upon
their natural pleasing dependence
that it must be admitted it is now
terribly unprepogsessing. Woman's
suffering is very closely allied to
womans suffrage; woman's wrongs
overlap woman's rights. Fifty
women are unhappily at work
where there is one happily not; and
there are just about fifty women
working where one needs to be,
or rather oaght 10 be, or would be,
if women had let women alone. A
woman is not fitted for a working
life. Physically she may be able
TO stand it; mentally she may flash
and brighten, at heat tie true wo-
man quivers, and breads the fist as
we'll as the tongue of the world.
One Of the most unhappy women l
know is q brilliant woman Of semi
Bohemian-litcrary society. Envied,
but not enviable; admired, but not
loved. The wittiest woman of her
city, her boa mots are the cleverest
at the clubs. A clever and think
inc woman, her work is as clever
and thoughtful. She says: Il would
rather be the weakest, the least
talented woms.n in the world, the
honest wife Of an honest man who
would love me. and let me love
! him. than the most beautiful, sue
cessful woman of the world. l
would rather be the slave of q
household than queen usurping

Esun TO DRlVES HORSE.

! Young man, see you are about
! to take drive this morning, and
will offer you some advice. Youl
horse is restiye and wants to be o.:
before you are ready; you may as
well break him of this now as at any
other time, and hereafter you viii
find it has been ha?f hour vel
spent. Just give Inc the reins
while you put your foot on the
step, as if to get in; the horse makes
a move to go; tighten the reins
and say "wlioa." Now put your
foot on the step again; the horse
makes another move; Eoid the
reins and speak to him again. The
horse is getting excited. Pat him
little On the neck, and talk to
him sootaingly. Put your foot OF
the stap again, and repeat the rro,
cess until the horse will stand still
for you to get in, and adjust your,
self to your seat, and tell him to
90. a few such lessons will train
hin SO that he will always wait for
al order before starting.
Now, as Your horse has just been
fed, drive him at gentle pacef for the
first two three miles until he warns
up and his body becomes lighter.
But, before you start, let me show
you how to hold the reins. Take
them in your left hand at equal
lengths from the bit and have them
cross each other in your hand, the
, of:side one resting on your first
. finger, the other on the fourth fin
ger. the back of the band upward.
Now, in guiding the horse, you
have only to use the wrist joint.
which will direct him either to the
right or left as you wish. Keep
your hand steady, with a gentle
pressure on the bit-no jerking Oh
twitching Of the reins. If more
speed is wanted, take the whip in
your right hand, to be gently used
for that purpose. Be careful not
to apply it any harder than is ne
cessary to bring him up to the re,
quired speed.
Speak to him soothingly, and in
innate, in the most gentle manner,
want you want him to do, and he
| will try to do it. So noble an ami
NAL should not be handled rough.
ly nor oyerdriven.
When you return have the har,
ness removed at once, and the
| horse rubbed down with a wisp OF
straw or hay. Give him bite of
straw or hay, and let him cool of
before being watered or fed. Every
one who handles horse, or has
anything to do with one. should in
the first place cultivate his acquain.
tance; let him know that you are
his friend, and prove it to him by
your kind treatment; he needs this
to inspire confidence. and when d 8

want.
If your horse gets frightened at
any unusual sight or noise, 90 not
whip him, for if you do he will con-
ncct the whipping with the object
that alarmed him, and be afraid of
ii ever after. If he merely SHES at
any object, give him time to ex-
anime it, which. with some encourag-
ing words from the driver, will per-
suade him to pass it. You get
frightened, too, sometimes and
would not like to be whipped for
it.-&ock Journal.

SHAM ELOPEMENTS.

"Half the eiopements we hear
about nowadays are shams,a said
our man Of tie world, with his air
of portentious wisdom. Nov that
runaway match in our own town,
for instance. The girls father is a
sharp man, but this is one of the
sharpest tricks he has ever played
since l knew him. That elopement
was all a sham. It's as simple as
can be. The girls father is one OF
the best known men in this section
of the town and is a politician
besides. He has, necessarily, a large
acquaintance with the element wBo
are always expecting him to stand
treat upon the slightest pretext,
and, what with this and tue we'd
ding festivities, supper and other
etceteras, his daughters marriage,
if solemnized in the ordinary man
ner, would have cost him a great
deal of money, An clopement
saved all this, SO he opposed his
daughters wishes strongly enough
to give pretext for the two to run
over to the next town, where the
expenses of the wedding, all told,
didn't amount to more than FIVE or
ten dollars. There were no fine
dresses, flowers, gifts or anything
of that sort. and when they re-
turned home they had a chance to
60 to housekeeping quietly and un-
ostentatiously. 1t was a shreWd
plan and sensible one for all
parties concerned. Ihave known a
number of runaway matches which
had no other reason than economy.
Parents, relatives and all were will,
ing for the yoang people to commit
matrimony, but the expense was a
serious consideration, and a little
timely opposition which caused an
elopement smoothed out the crooked
channel in which the course of true
love was running. The cost Of the
wedding was saved for housekeep-
ing, the young couple were forgiven,
and all went as merrily as if there
had been any amount of marriage
bells ringing"
