THorGHTFUL SAYINGS.

Pardon costs less than revenge.
Of earthly goods the best is a good wife.
Be sure of the effect before searching for
the cause. h'tH
Lucky man whose enemy is forced to lie
against him.
He is rank fool who is not aware of his
own weakness.
Affected humility is more contemplate
than downright pride.
A straight line is the shortest in morals,
as in mathematics. " lHnt,ie
Poverty and misery are near relatives,
but riches and happiness are no kin.
Every one who is trying to lead good
life should also try to lead winsome and
courteous life.
The prodigal robs his heir; the miser
robs himself. The middle way is justice to
ourselves and others.
There is no trait more valuable than a
determination to persevere when the right
thing is to be accomplished.
Attrition is to the stone what good i'll
fiuences are to the man both polish while
they reveal hidden beauties.
Y Any man can pick up courage enough to
be heroic for an hour; to be patiently
heroic daily is the test of character.
As for the place you were east, don't
find fault with that you need not he
horse because you were born in a stable.
Fine feelings without vigor of reason are
in the situation of the extreme feathers of
a peacock S tail-dragging in the mud.
To what slight and poor beginnings may
not the greatest results be traced back,
even by our own imperfect knowledge?
Arbitration how reasonable, how just,
how beautiful, how full of bountiful
philanthropy for the whole human family.
You may depend upon it that he is a
good man whose intimate friends are all
good, and whose enemies are characters
decidedly bad.
1t is our own fault if we are without
friends if we withdraw from others they
will withdraw from us. Demonstrate
good will and unselfish regard for others if
you would be loved.
SIS this friend a helper to me in that
which is good ?" is a question which we
should often ask with respect to an init
mate associate. If he does not make right
doing easier, he makes it harder.
There are thousands of men and women
who are continually praying to God give,
give, give, but when the poor appeal to
them for aid they are as cold as stone and
as silent as the grave.
1t is well to remember that mountains do
not meet. but men do. There is more
truth than poetry in the saying, Cast the
bread upon the waters, and it will return
to thee and thine after many days.
Young man, always bear in mind that
You are the hope of your parents and your
country !: therefore be careful of your acts,
and work with might and main to become
an honor and glory to both.
Under the direction of q large-souled
man everything prospers. The spirit OF
his liberality gives life and zest and soul
stirring inspiration which over comes every
obstacle. and success is the natural result.

THE MONITOR vas started as the organ
Union. of Woodstown, to afford them a
means of communication with the people
ON the subject of temperance. A short ex-
perience satisfied those interested that there
was room and demand here fer paper
with a wider scope and that more infiu-
enee would be exerted by a paper com
nending itself to a larger class of readers.
than by one circulating exclusively among
temperance people. Consequently The
Monitor Publishing Company was organ
lied. the business control of the paper
placed in their hands, and it is brought out
in its improved form with wider field of use
fitness. but the Temperance department
under sole control of the w. c. t. L. will
remain as matter of right, a permanent
weekly feature of the paper, and this ar
raneement is made without any fear of
giving our readers surfeit of any one sub
.ject, nor do we apprehend that there will
be any necessity for our resorting to the
rum shop or the whiskey ring for matter
for publication to counteract the baletul
influence of what the women may publish
in their department. We think the wives
and mothers of Woodstown may be trusted
to speak to our people ON the subject in
which they have above all Others an inter-
est, and that their teachings will require
no antidote at our hands, With their work
we are in hearty accord and sympathy, and
in THE MONITOR they win at all times
have champion.

Be careful with whom you associate !;
there is nothing SO destructive to good

Statistics as to Ravages of th'
Cholera.

WASHINGTON, January S.-The ma
,t;onaI board of health has information, COM
municated by the state department, of the
continuance of cholera in Alexandria.
Judge Farnam, of the international tribu-
nate, Cairo, says: ''There are from one to
three cases per day resulting in death, and
many more in which the attacked recover. -
He estimates the number Of deaths during
the past summer from cholera double that
given by the official reports. The United
States consul-general st Cairo reports the
official estimate at $4,000 to $4,000.
Owing to the want of proper organization,
however, the returns are not trustworthy.
For example, on July cath the sanitary bull
letin fixed the deaths in Cairo at 49,. From
the [police statistics they exceeded 1900.
The consul general reports that well in
formed official circles number the victims at
estimates between 66 900 and 70, 900. In
many villages in the interior, he says, the
majority of the laboring population died,
and in some instances nearly entire COM
munities disappeared, and not sufficient
effective hands remain to cuItiYate and har-
vest the crop.

q Narrowing Calamity on the
Grand Trunk Railway.

TORONTO, Ont.,, january 2.-One of
the most narrowing calamiiies that has hap
pened IN this neighborbood for long time
occurred here this morning on the Grand
Trunk railway. A suburban train left the
union station at $40 O'Clock. The car al :
tached was filed with employees Of the bolt
works who live In the city and are conveyed
10 their daily labor by this means, the train
stopping for them opposite the works. After
turning the curve at Parkdale boundary
freight train was observed coming cityward,
but the impetus Of both trains was too much
to allow the brakes to do duty in time, and
the result was fearful smash-up, ending in
shocking tragedy. Nineteen men, en-
ployed at the bolt works, are reported killed
and twenty or thirty more wounded. Con-
ductor Geo. Barber, of the freight train, is
said to be responsible for the accident, as he
was running his train without orders. He
has been arrested. The last account place
the number Of dead at twenty seven. Sew
eral of the injured are SO badly MANNED that
they are not expected to recover. At the
inquest this afternoon a jury was empan-
elled and viewed the bodies. The affair
casts gloom over The city. The wounded
are lying in the hospital and several doctors
are giving them every attention. An eye
witness describes the scene at the wreck as
keartrending in the extreme. The mutt
lated bodies, the groans of the dying and the
shrieks Of the wounded are enough to nppal
the strongest. Among the killed are: G.
Agates. w. Kleefer, C. spohn, A. Lynch,
p. Mulllgan, A. White Harrington, j. Nc
Donald, j. Rowlett, W. .Herriss, c.. Rob-
fnson and Cunnington. Among the wound
ed in the hospital, lying between life and
death, are: w. Fitzgerald, r. Corruthers,
Fl. C. KEENAN,, Michael Kelly, w. Rogers
and Fred Burnton-the last two cannot live
&C. Mcdonald, Jno. Lynch, JAS. Kelly,
o. Banks, Hugh Cunningham, E. Robin
son, Bailey, Pat Norton and John Carrigan.
The majority of these are unconscious. The
doctors cannot say how many will survive.
Their friends and families are surrounding
the hospital and the morgue and the scene
is most hearteending. Some of the men
killed leave wives and families.
