WHIMSICAL ADVERTISEMENTS.

Advertisements in which the omission of
comma distorts the meaning and exhibits
inc potency OF that little stop, might be
numbered in scores. The juxtaposition of
advertisements is often very curious, and
it was amusing to read recently the an

clear and careful order in the midst of
which you can daily move, and learn to
keep it so that it will be a part of your
toilet to dress your room and its ar
rSngements while you dress yourself,
leaving the draperies you take off as
lightly and artistically hung, or as
delicately folded and placed, as the
skirts you loop carefully to wear or

soft neatness about you throat Cher

you. This will not make you ''fussy;'

Take upon yourself gradually-for
the sake of getting them in hand in

the cares that belong to your own
small territory of home. Have your
little wash-cloths and your sponges for
bits of cleaning; your furniture brush,
and your leather-duster, and your
light little broom, and your whisk and
pan; your bottle of sweet oil and
spirits of turpentine and piece of fan
mel, to preserve the polish or restore

"A beesar was sitting in New
York street, holding out a battered
hat. The following placard was hung
about his neck: please, good people,
help poor blind man who was once
rich, but who has been reduced from
affiuence to poverty. You will never
regret it." Presently along came a
pleasant-faced man with a sharp,
shrewd eye. He looked at the poor

and then suddenly drew back his arm
as though to strike him blow in the

PIrH AND POINT.

When you introduce moral les
son let it be brief.
Fortune does not change the char
acter. but it reveals it.
1t is not good that repels or evil
that attracts, but the monOtony of good
and the variety in evil.-Atchison
Globe.
What glorious world this would
be if people lived up to the epitaphs
on their tombstones!--Hutchinson
(Kas.) News.
Most mems experience is like the
stern lights of ship which illumine
only the track it has passed.
The character of men placed in
lower stations of life are more useful,
as being imitable by great numbers. -
Atterbury.
Every man has his chain and his
clog, only it is looser and tighter to
one man than to another. And he is
more at ease who takes it up than he
who drags it.
Man doubles all the evils of his
fate by bordering over them; a scratch
becomes wound, a slight an injury,
jest an insult, small peril a great
danger, and a slight sickness often
ends in death by brooding apprehen-
siOns.
In all that we do we have right to
consider the effect it will have upon
our characters, Or upon the upbuild-
ing and development of our higher
natures. No man is required to do
what will belittle him.-United Pres
byterian.
If a man wish to rightly grow in
grace he must accustom himself to see
and look at the larger things in life,
and the larger world in which he
lives. A constant attention to the lit
tie will dwarf him, and finally unfit
him for his place among other men.
He that will not permit his wealth
to do any good to others while he is
living prevents it from doing any good
to himself when he is dead, and by an
egotism that is suicidal and has a
double edge, cuts himself off from the
truest pleasure and the highest happi-
ness hereafter.
Men may experiment in certain
lines in social intercourse after mas
terlng the forms long usage has proved
good, but to cling to peculiar ways of
their own. that are not agreeable or
that fail to show the hearts kindness,
limits the mans power as the use of a
cradle in the wheatfeld limits the
man who SCOTS at the self-binder his
neighbor uses.
1t is not usually those who are in
the direst poverty that are the most in
veterate borrowers. 1t is much more
frequently those who allow their
desires for superhuities to outrun their
ability to obtain them that resort to
this dangerous and insidious practice.
All such desires grow by what they
feed on, and become more and more
exacting; while the strict rectitude
which can not brook the long continu-
ance OF debt is gradually impaired

Coops Built Over Graves.

A singular burial custom prevails IN

placed strong wooden frames or coops
fastened down by driving stakes at tne

NOTED CONCORD MEN.
Tie Eccentricity of hawthorne. ThOrea
and Several Others.

The Eccentricty of hawthorne. Thoreau
and Several Others.
Mr.. Edward Waldo Emerson's book
on the Concord life of his father, Ralph
Waldo Emerson, says that Emerson
never could read far in the books of
his illustrious fellow-townsman. Ma
thaniel Hawthorne. This is somewhat
remarkable, perhaps, since Emerson
showed no lack of appreciation of men
or works of genius.
Though these two great men lived
for a long time in the same country
town, they saw very little of each 9TH
or. Hawthorne, who was very shy,
only once visited Emerson's house.
Mr.. Edward Waldo oEmerson's volume
tells the story of this visit:
''To cover his shyness, he took up a
stereoscope on the comfortable and be-
gan to look at the pictures. After
looking at them for time, he asked
where these views were taken.
eve told him they were pictures of
the Concord court and town houses.
the common and the mill-dam, on hear
ing which he expressed some surprise
and interest. but evidently was as un-
familiar with the center of the village
where he had lived for years as a deer
or a wOOd-thrush would be. He walked
through it often on his way to the cars,
but was too shy or too rapt to know
what was there"
IhOreau, another famous resident of
Concord, was not so unconscious of
what the town contained. Though he
pitied the people who never saw Bate
mans Pond, or Nine-acre Corner. or
Becky Slows Swamp" he also had a
spot in his heart for the town itself.
Though he said that 1.-The man who
shoots the buffalo lives better than the
man who boards at the Graham House."
he nevertheless knew his way to the
Graham House.
1t was not however, that he ever
went there for convivial purposes. He
was quite too abstemious, as we'll as
too little fond of society, for that.
Emerson said of him:
"He was bred to no profession; he
never married; he lived alone; he never
went to church; he never voted; he re-
fused to pay a tax to the state; he ate
no nesh he drank no wine, he never
knew the use of tobacco; and, though
naturalist, he used neither trap nor
gun"
Several of the famous men who have
lived at Concord have possessed the
eccentrlcity of genius. Their example,
however, should not inspire others to
initiate their eccentricities. Genius
may often be accompanied by such ir-
Irregularities of conduct, but we can
convince no one of our possession of
genius by the exhibition of eccentric
lty. Strong common. sense will serve
much better to help us in the estim
taon OF others. Companion.
