PlTH AND POINT.


Be Git for more than the thing you
are now doing. james A. Garfield.
When our hatred is violent. it
sinks even beneath those we hate.
1t is easier to vanqaish a man in
an argument thal it is TO convince
lin.
The largest expenses of married
life are frequently caused by the little
ones.
The man who spends most of his
lays in giving advice to his friends has
no need at all to lie awake nights Won
dering why he isn't popular.

Compared with eternity our career
extends over a time easily expressed
by the word 't'catr' uttered in an or
binary tone of voice.-Bll Nye.
We are almost all Of US little sell
fish naturally, you know, excepting
when we hear a piece of unpleasant
gossip about the man we never liked.

My son. If poor. see wine in the

There is no real conflict between
truth and politeness; what is imagined
to be such is only the crude mistake of
those who fail to discover their har-
mony. Politeness, taken in its best
sense, is the graceful expression OF
respect, kind feeling and goodwill
Don't Judge a man by the clothes
he wears. God made one and the
tailor made the other. Don't Judge a
man by his family, for Cain belonged
to a good family. Don't judge a man
by his failure in life, for many man
fails because he is too honest to sue
coed. North Wales (Pa.) Record.
The true lady and gentleman are
polite and courteous to all when those
| admirable qualities can be exhibited,
and when those attributes are not ex-
/ hibited on all proper occasions, it is
always safe to assume that vulgarity is
masquerading in the thin guise of the
gentleness that ever marks the lady
and gentleman.
"A long life may be passed without
finding friend in whose understand
ing and virtue we can equally conlide,
and whose opinion we can value at
once for its business and sincerity. A
weak man, however honest, is not
qualified to judge. A man of the
world, however penetrating, is not fit
/ to counsel. Friends are often chosen
for similitude of manners, and there
fore each palliates the others failings
because they are his own. Friends
are tender, and unwilling to give pain;
or they are interested, and fearful to
offend. DR. S. johnson.
in every political canvass we are
| prone to forget that the commonwealth
is composed of men. We are, there
fore, prone to forget also that to i'm
prove or reform the commonwealth,
we are to reform and improve those
who compose it-men. To try to do
otherwise is to try to make the rose
bloom before the bush is rooted, or to
/ cause the tower to soar before the cor
ner-stone is laid. The center of all
organization and social existence is the
individual man. All deterioration or
| improvement begins with single
human beings.
