WIT AND WISDOM.

How much better is the love that Is
ready to die than the zeal that is ready
to kill.
Study books to know how things
ought to BIO; study men to know how
things are.
"A man endowed with great prfeo-
tions without good breeding, is like
one who has his pockets full of gold,
bat always wants change for his ordi-
nary occasions. Steele.
Tho great secret Of avoiding di.ap-
pointment Is not to expect too much.
Despair follows immoderate hope, as
things fall hardest to the ground which
have been nearest to the sky.
1t is not always safe to Judge things
by their surroundings George Wash
tngton wore false teeth. but the words
Of his mouth will be remembered when
some Of the professional patriots of to-
day are forgotten as much as they have
forgotten his principles. Puck.
"A cheerful temper, joined with in
nocence, will make beauty attractive,
knowledge delightful and wit good-na-
tured. 1t will tighten sickness. power
e., and affection, convert ignorance
into an amiable simplicity, and render
deformity itself agreeable. Addison,
Have you ever noticed what a pro-
fusion of apple blossoms there is every
spring. and how few apples there are
that come from them? There are a
million blossoms TO bushel of apples.
Just so it is with desires and choices.
Among all the multitude of desires that
men have there is only here and thore
one that amounts to a choice. -Beecher.
1t Is not 10 mans discredit that
he wants to be great. but it is to a
mans discredit to think he is greater
than other persons suppose. II a man
will simply seek to deserve greatness,
be can simply leave it to others to de-
eide when he is great. And great men
are always in demand; places are wait
ing for them on every side-S. S.
Times.
The man who has an impressiona-
BILE temperament, whose nerves quick
ly vibrate to the presence Of JOY or woe,
who feels tenderly compassionate To-
youth and ignorance or to sin and mis-
cry, yet who seldom follows up these
feelings with appropriate action, who
exhansts his nature in sympathy. and
forgets to do what the occasion re-
quires, is untrue to his best nature and
70 his social relations.
-Fault-fnding is one OF the ways in
which men seek to appear wiser than
they are. 1t seems TO invest them with
degree Of authority in tho eyes of
those who do not realize that it Is one
of the easiest OF all things to find fault
To expose errors, to foretell dhhcul-
ties, to criticise methods, to make OBJ
jections, may all be done vof~hly BY
persons who have no power to oeAgh
nate better ways or TO overcome the
obstacles which they spread forth. and
who are in every way inferior 70 those

how or other they will be put on
the right hand, though they cannot
tell why. They are no. trying for
it; they take no pains about it at all,
1t is very little; and yet they will
not believe that they shall be put
on the left hand. Now, reader, if
you are such a person, let me ask
you this plain question: If you are
to be on the right hand, who are to
be on the left2 Some will be there,
but who can they. be? 1t yon get
placed on thu right hand without
faith in Christ, or love to him as
your Saviour, without taking any
pains, without much caring even,
about your seula why should. not all

not be. All, take care lest you be
found on the left hand side after all.
There are only two.
Many people am speaking Of
think it dull thing to 60 to the
house of God for an hour on the
Lords Day, and many Of them do
not 60 At all; what would they do in
heaven 1t would be no heaven to
them, even if they could get there.
All. but there is hell, that dreadful
place of fire and wrath; they dosnot
wish to 60 there, the very thought
of it sometimes makes them shake
all over, and we'll it may. Oh. il
they might'but stay here. Or if
there were but some place like earth
in the world to come, There would
be the place for them. But it can
not be. There is no such place.
There are only two-heaven and
hell; in one of these two they must
be for ever. Oh, reader, think what
your state must be if you do not
even wish for heaven. What is
there between your soul and hell!
Never dream of any third place.
There is none. There are but
two; and you will be in one or the
other forever. Which?-Word3 of

The sun believes that the campaign for the
election of a Democratic Congress in 1890 and a
Democratic President in 1892 should begin on or
about the fourth of next March The sun will
be on hand at the beginning and until the end Of
the most interesting and important political
ever, to secure the trium-h of the Democratic
party and the permanent supremacy of the prin-
cipleS held by Jefferson, Jackson and Tilden
The great fact of the year is the return to abso-
lutte power OF the common enemy of all good
Democrats--the polical organization for whose
overthrow THE Sun fought at the front for fifteen
years, the memorable years of Grant and the
Fraud Hayes and Garfield and Arthur.
1t is the same old enemy that Democrats now
confront and he will be ntrenched in he same
strong position. 1t has been carried once by
brave and hopeful fighting. Do you not believe
with THE Sun that the thing can be done again?
Wait and see.
The hope Of the Democracy is in the loyal
efforts of a united press, cherishing no memories
OF past differences in nOn-essentias, forgetting
everything but the lessons of experience and
that victory is duty.
Probably you know The Sun already as
newspaper which gets all the news and prints it
in incomparably interesting shape; which
chronicles facts they occur and tells the truth
about men and events with absolute fearlessness,
making the completest and most entertaining
journal published anywhere on earth: and which
sells its opinions only to its subscribers and pur
chaseTs at two cents per cOpy---on sundays four
cents. If you do not know the Sun, send for il
and learn what wonderful thing it i. 10 he in the
