THIRTEEN GREAT MISTAKES

THIRTEEN GREAT MISTAKES.
To yield to immaterial trifles.
To look for perfection in our actions.
To endeavor to mold all dispositions
alike.
To expect uniformity of opinion in this
world.
To measure the enjoyment of others by
our own.
To believe only what our finite minds
can grasp.
To look for judgment and experience
in youth.
Not to make allowance for the infrmi-
ties of others.
To worry ourselves and others with
what cannot be remedied.
To consider everything impossible
that we cannot perform.
Not to alleviate all that needs allevia-
ton az far as lies in our power.
1t is a great mistake to set up your own
standard of right and wrong, and judge
people accordlngly.-Nel0 York Mail and
Express

Our friend Primus Tucker has dog
that he calls illogical Inference" be-
cause it doesn't follow.
The first observance of day of
thanksgiving, formally recommended by
the civil authorities, occurred in Ley
den, Holland, October 3, 1875, it being
the first an anniversary of the deliverance of
that city from siege.
"A New York lady who formerly re-
sided in New Orleans has made gift of
800, 900 to the Tulane University in that
city to establish college for the higher
education ofwhite females.
-Cassius M. Clay, who says he will
run for governor of Kentucky next year
if he is nominated, expects to live very
many years more, although he is now
seventy-nine years old. 81 wish to live,"
he says, "to sea the purity of the ballot
box, and believe God Almighty will let
me do it."
Startled by the fact that the late Cen
eral Hancock was member of the Unitar
ian Church, correspondent of the Ma
tional Baptist hastens to give the read
ers of that paper the crumb Of comfort
to be found in the fact that the father of
the noble soldier was Baptist deacon.
-"Such disturbances" says Professor
Proctor, speaking of earthquakes, "as-
sure us that as yet the earth is not near
death. She is still full of vitality. Thou
sands-nay, tens, hundreds of thousands
of years will still pass before even the
beginning of the end is seen in the steady
disintegration and removal of the land
without renovation or renewal by the ac-
ton of subterranean forces"
There ought to be no contest over
the will of poor Mr.. Broeckhardt, whose
body was picked up at the foot of an awful
crevasse, near those of the rest of the
victims of the Matterhorn tragedy. The
leaf of paper contained only this; 81 am
dying in the Matterhorn. leave all 1
possess to you, dear sister. God bless
you"
-"Dr. James Freeman Clarke" says
the Christian Herald, sin his last pub
lished sermon, alludes to the receipt of a
letter from Miss Frances Power Cobbe,
the well-knowp, able literary skeptie, in
which she admits that she finds more
sympathy and reader help in her work
from Christians than from skeptics and
doubters. She says: Now, in my old
age. feel glad when 1 find my friends
tending in the direction of Christianity
and not in that Of the dreary desert of
agnosticism.
