WORDS OF WISDOM.
Boast Of the dar in &c eTerinr.

Boast Of the DAY IN the evening.
Charity is not an action; it is life.
In a good house all is quickly ready.
AS the year is SO must your pot ssethe.
Perfect sincerity is the resultof deep
inward order.
One has but to conquer ones self, and
one lives happily.
Never unavoidably wound the feelings
of human being.
But one thing on earth is better than a
wife-that is the mother.
Aids to forgetfulness would be as pop
ular as aids to the memory are.
Correction OF error is the plainest
proof Of energy and mastery.
All the reasonings of men are not
worth one sentiment Of a women.
Cupid has no arrow which can reach
the heart armored with indifference.
No man is fit to have power unless he
wishes to WELD it for the good of all.
Earth has nothing more tender than
woman's heart when it is the abode of
pity.
GU can often determine the value of
mans character from the character of
his enemies.
In an attempt after equality, man or
woman cannot grow less; the ignorant
must be raised to the level Of their
superiors.

Men seeretIr Pond OF Jewels.

because a man displays no jewelry
upon his person It does not signify that
he doesn't care for such fhings,. said
Editor Rothschild, of the New York
sIsioeley's Weekly, the other day.
There are plenty of men who are as
passionately fond Of jewels as any woman
who ever lived, but they seem to regard
thc feeling as 3 weakness which they are
half ashamed Of. Some men will own
right up, but they don't like to display
their treasures. because it Is not
considered good taste TO wear much
jeweiry.
II know Of half dozen business men
and professional men who do not wear go
much as Q watch chain; yet they carry
about in their trousers pockets thou
sands Of dollars worth of unset jewels.
This is little out Of the ordinary, but
ii IS a fact nevertheless.
"The late Henry Ward Beecher used
tii carry in his pockets number Of
beautiful diamonds, pearls and other
precious stones, which he would some
times take out in his hand and gaze at in
elimination for several minutes at time.
EIe explained this habit by saying that
there was something so pure and beauti-
flil about the gems that they delighted
and fascinated him He used to say that
ii was ono of the traces of our fsr-back
barbarian origin--the innate fondness

DO ladies have this habitl Well, !

No Separation.
Give dust to dust, and here we leave
The earthly seed to die,
That so this mortal may receive
Its Immortality.
Spirits to spirits purified
And his hath scared on high,
Hath joined the members glorifed,
The brethren in the sky.
Saviour, thy love unites US all,
The living and the dead,
IT'S but one body mystical,
And but one glorious Head.
Keep US in fellowship of soul
With the dear saint that's gone
Make US in worship, service, love
Like those before the throne.
And now to Him who conquered death
United praise be given
Amidst the parting tears of earth
The we,come-palms of heaven.
