GRAINS OF GOLD.

Nature is to the mind what heaven is
to the soul.
To be very greedy of praise proves
that we are poor in merit.
Extreme vanity sometimes hides un-
der the garb of ultra-modesty.
Partial culture runs to the ornate; ex>
treme culture to simplicity.
1t is better to do the idlest thing in
the world than to sit for half an hour.
Negligence is the rust of the soul, that
corrodes through all her best resolves.
To persons who have taken a prejur
dice, every word is misunderstood, every
look offends.
The praise of others may be of use in
teaching US, not what we are, but what
we ought to be.
No.one, large or small, should be al
lowed to exhibit a peevisn ill-Iature, ei-
ther by word or deed.
There are men who. by long consult
ing only their own inclination, have for
gotten that others have a claim to the
same Difference.
Punctuality is. one Of the modes by
which we testify our personal respect
for those whom we are called upon to
meet in the business of life.
The cause why adorRment of the body
is so much esteemed, is the fespect the
world taketh of outward appearance,and
neglect of the inward excellence.
There is respect due TO age, but there
is also respect due to youth, the lack of
which accounts for many failure in
the household and in systems of educa-
tion.
Though reason is not to be relied upon
as univ ersally sufficient to direct US
what to do,yet it is generally to be relied
upon and obeved, when it tells US what
we ought not to do.
Life should be our great and only re-
gard; for the first office of wisdom is to
give things their due valuation, to esti-
mate Alright how much they are worth
and the second is to treat them accord
ing to their worthiness.
The wit of conversation consists more
in finding it in others than in showing a
great deal yourself; he goes from your
conversation pleased with himself and
Ills own wit, is perfectly we'll satisfied
with you.
Home is the first and most important
school of character. 1t is mainly in
the home, and by the mother, that the
heart is opened, the intellect awakened,
the habits formed, and the char acter
moulded for good or evil.
Theie is a sublimity in patience. To
do thing. and, when needed, to keep
doing it. to wait for the ddsired end, not
sluggishly, out diligently, if necessary,
not despondingly, but even with brave
hope-this is grand character.

LITTLE BIRDIE BROWN.
PrettY little birdie Drown.

Pretty little birdie brown,
feckiug at my window pane,
All the birds are gone but you;
Were you late 10 take the train!
All the robins and the bluebirds
Fled before the autumn rain;
They went South to spend the winter
But I'm sure they'll come again
Don't be sorry. little birdie
Ah, you wink yodr little eyel
Sympathy is lost on you,
You could laugh if you would tryl
Want to build your little nest,
In behind the window blind?
Want me just to promise you
If I'll be so very kind
Not to move the slat al all
Till the winter storms are o'er--
Give you crumbs three timea day,
Just outside the open door?
That I'll do, my birdie, dearl
Only yon must be content
To sing to nc three times a day,
And with music pay your rent.

few friends drop in and talk with him
or play a game of whist or euchre. His
reading was confined entirely to the daily
press and events of the present. He was
a philosopher on the subject of misrep
resetatioD in the public prints. His ides
of his relations TO the rest of the world
was to act according to bis own stand
ards, which he believed good ones.as near
as he knew how. He recognized the
fact that his wealth and the character of
his investments necessarily subjected
him TO criticism and discussion eonse-
quehtly he got accustomed to abuse, and
while not affected by it he was always
pleased when nice things were said about
him.

Harper's Young People
An Illustrated Weekly.

The position of Harper's Young Peaple as
the leading weekly periodical for young readers
is well established The publishers spare no
pains to provide the best and most attractive
reading and illustrations. The serial and short
stories have strong and dramatic interest while
they are wholly free from whatever is pernicious
or vulgarly sensational; the papers on natural
history and science travel and the facts of life,
are by writer's whose names give the best as
surance of accuracy and value. Illustrated
papers on athletic sports, games and pastimes
give full information on these subjects. There
is nothing cheap about it but its price.

Mr. Sanford, an elderly gentleman
from Plover, was run into by team
driven by young man Sunday evening,
not far from the Green Bay depot The
horses were without bells and conse-
quently the gentleman received no war

by fine and Imprisonment, for teams of
any character, to be driven in winter,
without bells. The reason for this law
is apparent. Our people will do well
