Happiness is the attest Of content
ment
Opposition credits the fruits of vic
tory, the product of capabilities Also
An hour-glass is made smallest in
the middle. 1t shows the waist of time.
Intemperance is like Canada thistles
sure 10 run every virtuous plant out
of the soil.
A clear conscience is two-thirds of all
happiness, and contentment the other
third.
Honor for disqualification is gem
uine. That which turns to the world
for approval is bogus.
We are all too much inclined to
measure other peoples motives by the
standard of our own.
The devil never tells what he intends
to do. Stratagem is his right and inn
pudence his left bower.
1t is very fortunate that all the
babes can be named "Frankie," IRE
spective of party or sex.
Satire is the breast-wOrk of little
mind and the poverty of magnanimity,
that proof of nobility.
Being outgeneraled by a woman is
apt to be the epoch in mans life that
renders swearing delicious.
A man who stops to grieve over
tritles must expect TO forfeit his place
in the line of human advancement.
1t is easy enough to get notoriety,
but to get hold of the kind that will not
cause their ancestors to blush for them
is what bothers many.
There is no justice in the worlds CEN
suring q man for his errors, unless the
world itself, under like circumstances,
has turned such defeat into victory.
1 like to see people iaugh-at the
right time. Laughter is the hearts de-
light, but it is not every person that
knows when the time to turn loose has
come.
If in the habit of betting. l wonld
wager pretty heavily that the man who
keeps in his place will not get snubbed
half as often as the man who is never
happy unless he is intermeddling in
others affairs.
The best advice could give man
who has made fool of himself would
be to swallow the medicine of his own
compounding, gracefully if possible,
and then get all the satisfaction he can
out of the dose.
I admire Justice and just men, yet
have seen some men who, thoroughly
posted in the art, make justice fearful
to contemplate. The best justice /
know of is that which does not forget
mercy as taught by the Creator.
Some people are down on emotional
revivals of religion, but l am not. 1t
is the only way to throw single ele-
ment of gospel light into some intel
lects. I am not averse to saving wood
either-when it is case of starvation.
The tendency of religion is to purify
and refine the ties of all human happi-
ness. And chastity is estimated to
| improve man and woman in all the
relations of life. It tempors the pas
siOns, sweetens existence, and improves
the heart.
Young man, you have it within your
self to amount to something. In fact,
the WOrO expects you 10. see tnat you
do not disappoint it. Let me recon-
mend, in this connection, honest work
at living rates as worthy of your con-
sideration.
Occasionally do foreign phrases ex-
press ones thoughts On paper better
than plain English. However, when
an author settles down to it as steady
thing. it is simply cloak to screen his
or her incompetence and to hint at
learning.
1t Is difficult to counsel man as to
the necessary method to pursue in
order to make his mark in the world,
but it is comparatively easy to con-
gratulate him after he has hit the mark,
and enlighten him that you always
prophesied as much.
1t is bad enough for young man to
make q drunken sot of himself; but
what can I say for the man whose
every spree saps blood from his wife s
heart and keeps sustenance from the
mouths of his children? This is lower
down than the animals ever get.-Chi-
cago Ledger.
