Wise Words.

Be content the sea hath fish
enough.
Black plums may eat as sweet as
white.
Honor and profit do not always lie
in the same track.
An evil intention perverts the best
actions and makes them sins.
A coxcomb is ugly all over with
the affectation of the fine gentleman.
The mill streams that turn the
cIappers of the world arise in solitary
places.
The government of ones self Is the
only true freedom of the individual.
Great men begin great enterprises
because they think them great, and
fools because they think them easy.
Truth is the most powerful thing
in the world, since fiction can only
please by its resemblance to it,
General observations drawn from
particulars are the jewels of knowl-
edge, comprehending great store in a
little room.
There may be times when silence
is gold, and speech silver but there
are times, also, when silence is death
| and SDpach is life
How wisely do they act who take
no anxious thought for the morrow,
but are attentivs according to present
ability, to the duties of the present
day.
Love is not altogether a delirium,
yet it has many points in common
Herewith. Call it rather a discern
ing of the infinite in the finite-of
the ideal made real.
How many daily occasions there
are for the exercise of patience, for
bearance, benevolence, good humor,
cheerfulness, candor, sincerity, COM
passion and self-denial.
Truth is the object of our under
standing, as good is of our will and
the understanding can no more be
delightful with lie than the will can
choose an apparent evil.
People are commonly so much oc-
cupied in pointing out faults in those
ahead of them. as to forget that some
astern, may at the same instant, be
dissenting on theirs in like manner.

The front is left the length of the en-
tire small stocking, from toe to top {;
beginning at the toe the upper part
of the foot of the stocking is cut out,
and then the heel. The under part
of the foot is seperate piece.
The stocking should be sewed with
fine cotton or wool of the same shade

Hopeful Sign OF Civilization.

1t is hopeful sign of American
civilization that never before in the
worlds history were there so many
men of wealth using their wealth as
a trust, not as a private possession.
L visited not long since one of the
largest single coal mine owners in
Pennsylvania. He had built up in
the wilderness a village with 5000
population. No roof covered more
than two tenements. Every tene-
ment had about it ground for a gar
den plot. The day school was kept
open ten months in the year eve
ming schools afforded special facilities
for such as wished to pursue special
studies great hall furnished them
with opportunity for every kind of
recreation, from ball to lecture
free library and reading room gave
an evening lounging place free from
beer and tobacco; there was not a
liquor shop in the town ; the ladies
of the mansion equipped every year
Christmas tree for the children Of
the village, dressing many of the
hundreds of dolls with their own
hands ; but what was best of all, the
owner of mine and land and cottages
lived in the midst of his working
men. and administered with his own
hands the estate which furnished the
1000 workingmen with employment
and the 5000 villagers with bread,
homes and life. l thought how it
would have delighted the heart of
grim old Carlyle to have visited
Drifton, and how even John Ruskin
would have found something to
praise in such mining community.

For Sunday Concentration.

Faith builds a bridge across the
gulf of death.
Thanksgiving is good. thanks liy-

AS we grow older. if we have sense
we get humber.
If thou wouldst be happy. bring
thy mind to thy circumstances.
The chief source of self-happiness is
the act of making others happy,
Conscience is at most times a very
faithful and prudent admonitor.
The way to do good is to be good.
There must be light, then it will
shine.
The happiness or unhappiness of
old age is often nothing but the ex-
tract of past life.
1t is a noble species of revenge to
have the power of severe retaliation
and not to exercise it.
Hope is like the sun, which, as we
journey towards it, casts the shadow
Of our burden behind US.
