PITH AND POINT.

When we have gold we are in fear, when we have none we are in danger.
 --Flattery is sort of bad money to which our vanity gives currency.- Locke.
 Give work rather than aims to the poor. The former drives out indo- lence the latter industry. Burke.
 The three essentials to human happiness are something to do, some thing to love and something to hope for.
 A man is judged by his success in life, and his success is often measured by the amount of money he has. - Texas Siftings.
 No two things differ more than hurry and dispatch. Hurry is the mark of weak mind; dispatch of a strong One.-Colton.
 The church belle in the choir often brings more people to church than the bell in the steeple. Boston commercial Bulletin.
 A boy who won't take as big bite as he can from another boys apple is disgusting his real feeling and should be narrowly watched, lest he might make sudden grab and run off with the whole. American Hebrew.
 Whatever mitigates the woes or increases the happiness of others is a just criterion of righteousness. One should not quarrel without a reason sufficient to vindicate one through all the courts of morality.
 However good you may be, you have faults; however dull you may be, you can find out what some of them are; and, however slight they may be, you had better make some-not too painful, but patient efforts to get quit of them.-John Ruskin.
 Thou mayst be sure that he that will in private tell thee of thy faults is thy friend, for he adventures thy dis like, and doth hazard thy hatred; for there are few men that can endure it, every man for the most part delighting in self-praise, which is one of the most universal follies that bewitcheth man. kind. Sir w. Raleigh.
 There is nothing which more ex- asperates an Opposer of good man. than that silence which grows out of a recognition of the fact that it is use- less to discuss with one who does not want to be fair. He who is unjust in his words and ways feels the sting of self-possessed silence on the part of him whom he is ill-treating. g.-S. s. Times.
 To marry for money, and for any object whatever save and except lm- mortal and all-powerful love, is to per- jure and debase the human heart; but to marry without some provision for the future, such as money or moneys worth in well-furnished mind and a capacity for skilled labor, is to defy common sense and invoke the evil fates.-Once a Week.
 We are most inclined to love when we have nothing to fear, and he that encourages us to please ourselves, will not be log without preference in our affection to those whose learning holds us at the distance of pupils, or whose wit calls all attention from us and leaves us without importance and with out regard. pr. Johnson.

well adapted to country house.
In painting, it is suggested that the first
story be rich buff, the second story a
lighter, more yellow color, the body of the
gables light orange tint. The trimmings
and shutters, to unite this combination,
should be dark olive green. The under side
Of the porch ceiling should be the same tint

terror window and other castings, the porch

ance of added projection.

The nature and extent of the foods work

that the wheels and rudders were clogged

In the Chinese floods they number the dead
