WISE WORDS.
Character Is perfectly educated viii.

Character Is perfectly educated will.
The world is a comedy TO those who
think-a tragedy to those who feel.
We never injure our own characters 50
much as when we attack those Of Others.
Satire often proceeds less from i'll
nature than from tho desire of display
ing it.
The human will is not of ndamant,
and the sternest resolution will often
suddenly melt in a tear, or dissolve in a
sigh.
A mother will sleep through the rat
Ting of thunder, and yet wake at the
sigh of the child. Her ears are in her
heart.
The most influential man, in free
country, at least, is the man who has the
ability, as well as the courage, to speak
what he thinks when occasion may re-
quire it.
The fortunate man is no VINO, born
poor, or nobody, works gradually up to
wealth and consideration, and having
got them dies before he finds they were
not worth so much trouble
Exclusively dwelling upon ourselves,
on our own virtues and failings and eX-
periences, weakens our power Of sympa-
thy with others, while it increases our
acuteness Of sensibility as regards self.
A great man under the shadow of de,
feat is taught how precious are the uses
Of adversely; and as an oak trees roots
are daily strengthened by its shadow, so
all defeats in a good cause are but rest
ing places on the road to victory at last.

How a millionaire Began Business.

Josiah Mason, the Birmingham pen
maker, who spent half million on
his native town, did not acquire his
wealth without much labor and anXi-
ETY.. 1t is interesting to read how he
once called upon a small manufactur-
er for employment, and how the old
world tradesman, cycling him sus-
piciously, limited that he was fright
ened of dirtying his fingers" Young
Mason's answer was addressed to his
fingers, which he opened out, putting
the question to them quietly: "Are
you ashamed of dirtying yourselves to
get your own living?"
This took the old mans fancy. and
as a result Mason began the business
which ended as the greatest pen manu-
factory in the world, and gave him OPP
FORTUNES to create the art of electro
plating.

Some New Ones.

A country tramp who brought up at
farmhouse few days ago, claimed
to have had all manner of bad luck,
and among other things he mentioned
that three fingers of his right hand had
been so badly frozen during a cold
snap in Dakota, that the doctor had
amputated them.
LET me see," replied the farmer.
A dirty paw was held out in response.
"Why your fingers are all here and
all right"
"Oh, of course, they are all right
now, but during the three years it
took to grow new ones 1 got so badly
in debt that I lost all hopes and took
to trampingl"
He got his dinner, but the farmer
was in Detroit the next day making
inquiries about the wonderful western
climate.-Free Press.

Be Mighty Patient with children.


Parents and teachers ought to be
mighty patient with children. Some have
more capacity and some more memory.
Some are slow and some are quick. 1t
is not the smartest child that makes the
smartest man or woman. 1t is power
full strain on some of 'em to keep up,
and the dull ones oughtn't to be crowded
until they hate books and dread the time
of going to school. Some folks send
their children to school to get rid of 'em,
but my opinion is the parents ought to
help the teacher every night It shows
the children how much in crest they feel
in their education. It Is sign of a good
teacher when the children get ambitious
to keep up and get head marks, and
bring their books home at night and
want to 90 to school if it is raining a
little. Wrap 'em up and let 'em go.
There is nothing that demoralizes a
school-boy like staying at home every
few days and getting behind his class.
We used to walk three miles to school,
and we never minded it at ALL 1t was
a frolic all the way there and all the
way back, and we did have the best din
ner in the world. Delmonco never had
as good things as our mother used to fix
up for us. 1t seems to me so now. A
child's life is full of romance and fun
the best sort of fun A child's dreams
are splendid, but we don't dream now,
hardly ever. / used to read Robinson
Crusoe and dream it all over again. How
did long to be shipwrecked on an
island and raise monkeys and goats and
parrots.
Slow children are generally sure chill
dren, but they don't show off much.
Daniel Webster was most always foot in
his class, but when he learned anything
he never forgot it. Some boys are rest
less and have no love tor books, but they
oughtn't to be given up or hacked or
abused continually. If they have good
parents they will come to themselves
after awhile.
1t is astonishing how humiliation viii
follow boy. One time boy stole
quarter. of a dollar from another boy at
school, and that followed him to his
grave. He got to be great man and
was thirty years in Congress and was
Senator, and one day when he made bit
ter speech against the corruption of the
opposite party and denounced their steal
ing and plundering by wholesale, one of
his opponents replied by saying he would
remind the gentleman that preachers OF
morality should come into the pulpit with
clean hands-that Ben Franklin said,
:" He that would steal mn would
steal bigger thing" and he asked nc
quarter from the gentleman on tina
score.
So, boys, remember and keep you
hands clean. Folks will forgive mischie
ard heap Of othor things, but they won
forgive assnness. Bin DRIP,

The watermelon, the musk-melon
and cantaloupe, though of distinct
genera, are so similar in their habits
that they are generally treated under
the same head - melons. They are
supposed to come from the East, and
some cantaloupes are yet called Per-
sian. They are certainly of semi-trop-
ical habits, and the temperate climes
and sandy plains of the South are the
most favorable to their culture, though
they may, with care, be raised in all
these States.

Lines Increase Height.

A fact which has great influence
upon the appearance (a3 regards size

Churchyard Poetry.

That the following, at Ellington, nea.
bennington, is genuine, there is no
reason to doubt; the lines are touching.
They'are in memory of man named
John Trees:
Poorly lived,
And poorly died,
Poorly buried,
And no one cried"
MISUNDERSTANDING, though with q diff
ferent kind of sadness, are the rhymes on
John Hill; they come from "a church
yard at Manchester;
"TIere lies John Hill, a man Of skill,
His age was five times ten,
He noer did good nor ever would,
Had he lived as long again"
Very likely not, for if in half century
man does no good he will hardly turn
over a new leaf at fifty years Of age. Is
the following to be considered as an
eulogium on the person commonwealth
provost Peter Patterson was Provost of
Dundee,
Provost Peter Patterson, here lies he,
Hallelujah, Hallelujee!"
And what is the meaning of this
singular inscription in Cusop churchyard,
Herefordshire1 Has it any meaning
ail2
eff earth be all
Why DER and DER q beaten path
You walk and draw up nothing new
Not so our martyred seraph did
When from the Verge Of Wales he fed"
The martyred seraph was William Sew
ard, of Badsey, Worcester, who died Oc-
tober %, 1742; how a man could be a
seraph, and how seraph could be
martyred are unexplained mysteries.
1t is somewhat curious to find person
not only writing his own epitaph, but
doing it in the following manner. Mr..
Thompson speaks Of himself as dead and
buried and yet he survived himself for
the space of sixteen years. At Kirk
Braddan, in the Isle Of Man, we read;
''Here underlyeth the body of the
Reverend Mr. PATRICK THOMPSON,
Minister of Gods Word forty years,
At present vicar of Kirk Braddan,
Aged 81, ammo 1878.
Deceased We 9th of April Ammo 1899"
This vicar apparently looked forward
with calm equanimity to his death; "a
calm despair" is indicated by these mel
ancholy lines:
CAT threescore winters end died,
A cherries being, lone and sad,
The nuptial knot | never tied,
And wished my father never had"
