STANDARD ADVICE.

STANDARD ADVICE.
If you would keep your rosy COM
plexion, wear thick-soled shoes.
If you would enjoy quiet content,
drop all airs and pretenses.
If you would have others respect
your opinions, hold fast and never
disown them yourself.
If you would have good health, go
out in the sunshine. Sickness is
worse than freckles.
If you would respect yourself, keep
your heart and body clean.
If you would retain the love of
friends, do not be selfshly exacting.
If you would gain the confidence
of business men, do not try to sup
port the style of your employer.
If you would never be told a lie,
do not ask personal questions.
If you would sleep we'll and have
good appetite, attend to your busi-
ness.
If you would have the respect of
mankind, never permit yourself to
indulge in vulgar conversation.
Thou must not be lord and master
to thine own actions not servant OF
hireling.
Neglected calumny soon expires;
show that you are hurt and you give
ii the appearance of truth.
RECEIPT FOR CURING MEAT.-To
one gallon of water take ~ lbs. of
salt, 4 Id. of sugar, Il or. saltpetre,
q OF. potash. (Omit the potash
unless you can get the pure article.)
In this ratio the pickle can be in
creased to any quantity desired. Let
those be boiled together until all the
dirt from the sugar rises to the top
tuu 10 Shliuuncu OH. 1HoH lutOH IL
into tub to cool, and when cold,
pour it over your beef OF pork. The
meat must be we'll covered with pick
lie, and should not be put down for at
least two days after killing, during
which time it should be slightly
sprinkled with powdered saltpetre,
which removes all the surface blood,
ETC., leaving the meat fresh and clean.
Some omit boiling the pickle by throw
ing off the dirt always to be found in
salt and sugar. If this receipt is
strictly followed. it will require only
single trial to prove its superiority
over the common way, or most ways,
of putting down meat, and will not
soon be abandoned for any other.
The meat is unsurpassed for sweet
ness, delicacy and freshness of color.

That others can hurt us, only
shows how dependent we are upon
them for comfort.
Happiness is pig with greasy
tail which every one runs after, but
nobody can hold.
| Our suffering from malignity
abroad is not so great as suffering
from malignity within.
No man can be provident of his
time who is not prudent in the choice
of his company.
| A piece of steel is good deal like
a man; when you get it red-hot it
always loses its temper.
| Our duties would be seldom disa-
greeable if we did not perversely re-
solve to think them so.
The three most difficult things are
to keep a secret, to forget an injury,
and to make good use of ones leis-
ure.
The man who gives his children
habits of truth, industry and frugal
ity, provides for them far better than
by giving fortune.
! The greatest man is he who troub-
les himself least about the verdict
that may be passed upon him by his
contemporaries or posterity, but who
gnds in doing good honest work, to
the best of his ability under existing
circumstances, sits own exceeding
great reward"
Let no one suppose that by acting
a good part through life he will es-
cape scandal. There will be those
even who will hate him for the very
qualities that ought to procure es-
TEEN. There are folks in the world
who are not willing that Others should
be better than themselves.
