i PlTH AND POINT.

People katter us because they can
depend on our credulity. -Tacitus.
l., Enthusiasm is good to raise men
upon, but discipline is the only thing
to fight on -Beecher.
Affection goes into bankruptcy
when it marries for money and fails
to get tn. 0. Picayune.
To know how to be silent is moro
difficult and more profitable than to
know how to speak.-Lee.
Good manners include not merely
pleasant things said and done, but un-
pleasant ones left undone.
1t is generally the idle who COM
plain that they can not find timc to do
that which they fancy they wish. -
Once Week.
There is no more objection to
poking a bit of wisdom IN between
mans ribs than pounding itin through
his skull"
In this world the young man who
is always intending - do something
becomes the old man ho wonders why
he never reached success.
No. state can be more destitute than
that of person who, when the delights
of sense forsake him, has no pleasures
of the mind.-Burgh.
In all evils which admit remedy,
Impotence should be avoided, because
it wastes that time and attention in
complaints which, if properly applied,
might remove the ause-Johnson.
The water that flows from a spring
doesn't CONCEAL in winter. So those
sentiments of friendship which flow
from the heart can not be frozen in adj
versity.-N. Y. Ledger.
TO maintain an opinion because it
is thine, and not because it is true, is
to maintain thyself, not the truth, and
so to prefer thyself above the truth
Venning.
There are great things and little
things-as men see THINGS; but the
greatness and the littleness are oftener
in the seeing than in the seen. Little
things rec often great to little minds
in a little way; but little things are
great to great minds-in great way.
Trifing is trivial only to him who is
so trivial as to be a triher.-S S.
Times.
1t is the busy men who keep the
world moving. 1t is the busy men
who sustain society, and the busy men
are the projectors of the progress and
Improvement. The lazy man is al
ways full of trouble. He is never con-
tent with himself He never succeeds.
He has fault to find with every one
but himself. Besides being a burden
to himself. he is a pest to society; for
when he is too lazy to earn for him
self, he then begs for charity.

ORCHIDS THE LATEST,
The Most Recent and Interesting Floral
Fad in England.

Fad in England.
When the history of English horti-
culture in the nineteenth century
| comes to be written it's remarkable
feature will be the position held by the
| orchid family. In a period of less
than fifty years the cultivation of
orchids has developed into almost a
passion, and has become an important
commercial industry. There are mill
ions of pounds invested in orchids in
England alone. Collectors are in all
parts OF the world searching for them.
They are objects Of interest to all
classes of the community.
There are few horticutlurists who
profess to despise orchids, and who
constantly discover that reaction
against them is setting in. But these
plants are more popular now than
ever, and this popularity seems on the
increase. And yet there is no orchid
society in England. Such plants as
chrysanthemums, carnations, auricu-
las and roses have each their own So
ciety. Weak efforts to start an orchid
society have been made, but they came
to nothing. There is, however, special
representation promised for orchids
now, the Royal horticultural Society
having decided to appoint committee
OF specialists to adjudicate on orchids
alone That such a committee is
wanted is abundantly evident. The
number of men who possess knowl-
edge sufficient to enable them to decide
which orchids are good and which bad,
what is new and what is simply an old
plant under new name, is quite linn
tied. When one remembers that at
the present time there are close upon
two thousand species in cultivation,
not to mention the most countless va
rieties and hybrids, the necessity for
the step which the Royal horticultural
Society is about to take must be ap-
parent. Garden and Forest

Norfolk, and taking in water and provis-

Of the ports which communicated with the
wharf On bright moonlight evening we
discovered two rats on the plank coming
into the ship The foremost was leading
the other by straw, one end of which each
held in his mouth. We managed to capture
them both, and found, to our surprise that
the one led by the other was stone blind.
His faithful friend was trying to get him on
board where he would have comfortable
quarters during three years. cruise. We
felt no disposition to kill either, and landed
them on the wharf How many there are

him, but he eiuded all Of his pursuers. He
seemed to be here, there and everywhere at

that hostler working in the stable where
Brazleton had been employed knew some

something to eat. He was to wait behind a

six we'll armed men took the hostler and
went with him to the place of rendezvous.
They all lay down behind the Log and waited
for Brazleton. By and by he rode out of
thicket into an open space and came slowly
toward the unsupported ambush. He car

that things were not all right When within
thirty yards of the log the whole party
rose and fired, killing the horse and rider
