Food for Thought.

Always look on the bright side of
everything
The sweetest rose grows upon the
sharpest thorus.
A true man will not swerve from the
path Of duty.
Bustle is not industry. nor is impu-
Gence courage.
Desperate diseases must have des-
perate remedies.
Nothing is so reasonable and cheap
as good manners
The first and worst of all faults is to
cheat ones self.
Search others for their virtues, and
myself for thy vices.
Experience is the name people give
to their follies or their sorrows.
There is no sweeter repose than that
which is purchased by labor.
Every man has bis gift, aud the
fools 60 to him who can use them.
Grieve not that men know not you,
grieve that you know not men.
True independence has no difficulty
in accepting necessary kindness.
We usually learn to ait only when
we have NJ longer anything to wait for.
There are many vices which do not
deprive us Of friends there are MANY
virtues waich prevent our having any.
A mans first care should be to
avoid the reproaches Of his own heart
his next escape the eensures of the
world.
The difference between what IL cali
ed in this world happine,s or unhap-
ptness is so little that we ought never
to envy Or pity anybody.
The impatient man, however bril-.
liant, seldom wins, because he de-
stroys his own chances Of SUCCESS by
not waiting fol the harvest.
Firmness is as different from its
mean Notwithstanding, as rash
ness, Is Irom true courage, prudery
from virtue, and bigotry from reli-
gion
A. beautiful godly life, noble
manhood, filled fun of fidelities and
heroisms, is itself the very best
sta ement and the very best defense
of Christianity.
When we disagree with another
man as to the details of an event.
there Is great deal Of difference
between history and mystery or his
story and my story.
A man is always a fool. If he he
young, the world says when he is
Older he will know more /; if he be-
Older, IT says he is old enough to
know better; and when he is old
1T says there is no kind of an idiot
equal TO al old fool.

Boy: saw your advertisement,
sir, and came to see if could get the

Storekeeper: OF course, you can
give the best of references for hon
esty, industry. intelligence, amiabil-
ity, ETC.?
Boy Yes, sir.
Storekeeper The pay is reason
able, but not excessive at first.
Boy: I don't care so much
about the pay at first. All I want
is enough for my board and clothes
and little pocket money in addi-
ton.
Storekeeper: OF course, we don't
expect you to work for nothing The
first year we pay $50, the second
$75, the third 500, and so on for
first ten years
Boy: You are very generous, sir;
and what do you pay after the ten
years a,e up?
Storekeeper; Oh, we shan't re-
quire your services any longer then
Itswill be more economical for US to
hire new boy at 500; and, are en-
abled to give another boy an oppor-
tunity to livelihood.
Boy: suppose you would be
wllling,to retain half of my wages
while stay, so that I may not be
tempted to squander it as fast as
get it
Storekeeper: it will put us 10 some
trouble, but we might be induced to
accommodate you if you would par
italy indemnify us by paying, sey
$40 year, for The care and incon-
venience that we should be put to.
Boy, Thank you sir; you are
very kind. If you think that ten
dollars is not too little, should be
only too glad to accept your splendid
offer. When shall I come
Storekeeper: IT your references
prove satisfactory, you may come to-
morrow morning. Your duties will
be very light, by the way. You will
open at six, sweep out the six floors,

goods and polish the brass signs.
You will run errands the remainder
Of the day-no heavy bundles you
know-notning above $50 pounds

YOU will see to the fires. put up the
shutters and lock up. You will gem
orally get away by seven, though oc-
casionally-once or twice week,
perhaps, yor NAV have to stay until
eight or nine. You see the work is

ten years are up.
Boy: / am delighted, sir, at my
good fortune. Yon may be sure
that l stall he around bright and
early tomorrow.
Storekeeper: All right. But if
you have any better clothes put them

When sickness or distress shall meet thee,
Thou will need me in thy home.

And twill bleed for many years,
Yet I'll seek thy grief to soften
Ere shall pass away from thee,
And would leave sweet words of comfort
Mingling with the thought of me.

And that thy love has been the blessing

Incubation or Matching

1t is not known to farmers general

sit any length of time; in fact a
turkey is perfect Matching ma

training the turkey to hatch must
first understand the way which 1
have tried to my satisfaction. 1

cial eggs for four days; then she

eggs, giving her liberty to come off

then took her off and let her mother

mother never lived. She would
mother all the chickens that came
to her with great affection. She
stayed with them as long as they
stayed with her. There is nc
trouble to get them to take charge
of strange chicks; they would take
to young geese or ducks if they
would take to the turkey. Moth
ing can equal them as careful
mothers; they will actually lif
about the chicks as a cat does he

Mr.. Calhoun spoke like a col

his class. His position was sta
tionary, and he used no gesticula

"Have you seen Mr.. Calhoun
''Do you think of leaving without

Calhoun's prestige was SO worked

pected to call upon him as upon the
president. AT the time Of his death
he was gaining a strong foothold
among the scholars of the north,
who seemed incapable of resisting
the seductive reasoning of his per
ceptive, comprehensive and analy
tic mind. Senator John p. Hale,
of New Hampshire, once came to
my seat and said: 81 am going to

An immense majority Of men in
Rome never lighted candle, unless
sometimes at early dawn. And the
custom of Rome was the custom
also of all nations that lived around
the great pond of the Mediterrane-
an. In Athens, Egypt, Palestine,
Asia Minor, everywhere, the an
clients went to bed, like good boys,
from seven to nine o'clock. The
Turks and other people, who sue
ceeded to the stations and the hab-
it's of the ancients, do so at this
day. The Roman, therefore, who
saw no joke in sitting round a ia
BILE in the dark, went off to bed as
the darkness began. Old Numa
Pompilius himself was obliged to
trundle off in the dark. Tarquinius
might be a very superb fellow, but
we doubt whether he ever saw q
farthing rushlight. And though
it may be thought that plots and
conspiracies would flourish in such
a city of darkness, it is to be con-
sidered that the conspirators them
selves had no more candles than
honest men; both parties were in
the dark.

becomes a matter of secondary i'm
