WISE WORDS.

If we knew the exact value of things
we should be comparatively free from
envy.
My dear boy, don't begin a fight, but
once begun stay to the finish and pick
up the fragments.
What man can't prove never ruined
any one yet; it is what he can prove that
makes it hot for him.
Don't forget this, my boy: There are
ten thousand ways to miss the blll's-eya
and only one way to hit it.
There are two things that everybody
thinks they can do better than any one
else-punch the fire and edit daily pa
per.
There is pedantry in all things Any
man who loads up double-barr gun
to kill cochrouch with is a cockroach
pedant.
There are lots of things in this world
we can't explain, and that is just what
makes the things we can explain the
more certain.
Pride is located halfway between
vice and virtue, and little of it wont
hurt saint, and good deal of it often
helps a sinner.
The great struggle of life is first for
bread, then butter on the bread and at
last sugar on the butter. This is the best
any of us can do.
There is just about humanity enough in
the whole world to supply one man with
what he ne ,ds. And, pray, what are the
rest of us going to dol
don't believe in special providences.
When mule kicks man and knocks
him anywhere from eight to twenty feet
off l don't lay it to the Lord; l say to my
self: THAT man got little too near the
mule. D. Century.

VOL. XIV.
THE DISAPPOINTED.

There are songs enough for the hero,
Who dwells on the heights of fame;
sing for the disappointed,
For those who missed their aim.
sing with fearful cadence
Forone who stands in the dark,
And knows that his last, best arrow
Has bounded back from the mark.
sing for the breathless runner,
The eager, anxious soul,
Who falls with his strength exhausted
Almost in sight of the goal;
For the hearts that break in silence
With sorrow all unknown;
For those who need companions
Yet walk their ways alone
There are songs enough for the lovers,
Who share loves tender pain;
sing for the one whose passion
Is given and in vain.
For those whose spirit comrades
Have missed them on the way,
sing with heart -o'erAewing
This minor strain to-day.
And know the solar system
Must somewhere keep in space
A prize for that spent runner
Who barely lost the race.
For the Plan would be imperfect
Unless it held some sphere
That paid for the toll and talent
And love that are wasted here.

"Thanks."

A correspondent writes to the New
York Journal Of Commerce that in con-
versation with friend some time since
he stated that the use of "Thanks" in
place of II thank you," was highly i'm
proper, aud was like using "gents" for
gentlemen" and she asks for information
upon the subject. The Journal says:
We have answered this several times
by mail for ladies who were too timid to
have their little notes appear in print.
but we desire to give an answer th;.t, {,
far as our readers are concerned. will set
the question at rest. Many have written
against this brief utterance, and not a
few have denounced it as modern slang.
This is wholly mistake it is good old
English, and as unexceptionable as any
phrase in the English language. Shake
speare puts it in the mouth of his most cul-
tured characters. In 'Twelfth Night"
Sebastian says
My kind Antonio,
can no other answer make but thanks,
And thanks, and ever thanks.
In 'Measure for Measure" Isabel SAYS:
Oh, were it but my life,
Id throw it down for your deliverance
As frankly as pin.
ClGudic-Thanks, dear Isabel.
And further on we have from the duke
himself, Thanks, dear friend, Escalus, +"
and "Thanks, Provost, for thy care" In
other plays we have "Thanks, good
Egeus," Thanks, Pompey" ''Thanks,
sir" "Thanks to your majesty, +"
Thanks, gentle uncle, (" "Thanks, noble
peer" Thanks, gentle SIR" "Thanks,
gentle Norfolk" Thanks, good Mont
gomery," Thanks, gentle Somerset, I"
Thanks, noble Clarence" "Thanks, my
lord, and many more, enough to redeem
any repetition of it from the charge of
being 'highly improper"

THE STARS SHINE OUT.

Ths stars shine out and gild the sky,
Softly the night winds breathe and sigh;
And, as the world fades from my sight,
feel the presence of the night
Wrapped in its strange deep mystery.
Dark vapors rise-their fingers lie
Coldly upon my brow, but l
Lift up my startled gaze, and bright
The stars shine out.
Trust on, sad he,rt, nor question why
The shadows and the night draw nigh.
The mist of doubt will melt ia light,
Gods face will put them all to fight.
Till then, look up, for still on high
The stars shine out.

The following which we find in an ex-
change we copy as quite applicable to this
latitude:
We commend the following paragraph on
giggling in church to some of those little
boys and girls, about town, who make it
practice to 60 to church to talk and giggle,
that they may see how ridiculous thoy ap-
pear to others: "Giggling is described in
the dictionary as the act of laughing with
short catches of breath, M Laughing idly,
tittering; grinning" 1t is silly ana childish
enough anywhere, but in church it is abom-
Unable, and yet there is no place where gig
Cling is more common. 1t is natural in
school girls, but when met in young women
of nineteen or twenty it is objectionable.
It is frequently II characteristic of young
men with incipient moustaches, who think
they qualify themselves for manhood by az
fecting contempt for what their elders re-
we're. They giggle at anything. If they
catch the eye of an acquaintance they gig
gle; if woman rises too soon for q hymn
they giggle; if baby cries they giggle; il
some one drops book they giggle; if the
clergyman coughs they giggle; if the plate
| is handed to some one who puts nothing ID
it they gigglo; if some one near them sings
out or repeats the responses louder they
oigge; if the choir makes mistake they
giggle. In fact, nothing is too small or in.
significant to arrest their notice and pro
duce giggle.

profit on these remnants, we will keep
them, and risk chances of getting them oil

arrives, mix it in and pretend they are new

A meeting of the trustees and patrons OF
Mount Sharp School was held on tho 9th,
and it was decided to reopen the school
for six months session, commencing about
the first of April. This will make total OF
seven months for the scholastic year. Al
the conclusion of the school meetings dis

questions of the day, and as we have q num-
Der Of well-in-formed men, the meeting be-
came very interesting. 1t was unanimously
resolved not to support for Office any candi-
date who is not opposed to the depreciation

Another question arose as 10 the impor-
lance of having q voting place at Mount
Sharp, and it was decided that such con-
venience was much needed, as at present
they have to go to Wimberly to vote. and
some have to ride from eight to eighteen
miles for that purpose. Il is believed that
a more convenient voting place would bring
out larger vote, As some at present had
rather lose their votes than ride 20 far.
