WIT AND WISDOM.


1t is not what we intend, but what
we do, that makes us useful.
Good counsel Is only thrown away
upon those who are full OF their own
projections.
The moral cement OF society is
virtue 1t unites and preserves, while
vice separates and destroys.
Silence is said to be the wit of
fools; but they do not always have it
with them. IN. 0. Picayune.
1t has been observed that the man
who has the fewest failings is the most
tolerant OF those OF his neighbors.
Character is to the working man
what wealth is to his employer; it is to
him capital, his stock in trade, and
upon its marketable value depends his
success or his failure.
Nature does not make mistakes. II
man would study her ways and under
stand her interchangeable conditions he
might turn her into willing servant. =
Rural New Yorker.
Greater praise is due those who do
well the so-called little duties of every
day life than those who are waiting for
some great opportunity to show their
strength and courage. Grace Garland.
Genius is like barrel on the top OF
hill; it will not indeed move unless
pushed, but once pushed it goes OF it,
self Talent is like load on the road

dragged.
There are different sorts OF human
nature Some are given to discomfort

joying. And let me tell you the discon-
tented, longing style is unpleasant to
live with. Eliot

Habits OF inattentlon, OF mental In

are the source of a widespread and in

There is kind OF knowledge which

1t is always the extraordinary man

Mrs Sam Foom, a Chinese lady
who lately went back to China with her

Methodist churches Of San Francisco,
on the history of her life. Her hus-
band a Christian Chinaman, started in
business ten years ago. and made vow
that when he was worth $1,000 he
would go back to China to preach the
Gospel to his countrymen. The couple
have gone back, accordingly, as self

Erastus Corning.
The following story of Daniel Web
ster, illustrative of his winning per-
sonal traits, told by q leading local
lawyer, is believed never to have been
made public. Years ago the late Eras-
tus Corning, of this ciy, as a compare
lively young man, made Mr.. Webster's
acquaintance somewhat intimately. AS
a result of the friendship it turned out
the former Endorsed Mr.. Webster's note
for considerable sum. When the note
fell due protests came to the firm and
they paid the note Knowing Mr..
Webster's impecuniosity and not wish
ing to crowd him, they did not call
upon him for security. After some
years, and when it was supposed that
Mr. Webster's financial condition was
improved, Mr.. Corning, at the instance
OF his firm, wrote asking Mr.. Webster
II he could make it convenient to liqui-
date the claim. The answer was u
courteous note from Mr. Webster maxi
ing excuses that just at present he was
unable to meet the demand and ending
up by pressing invitation for Mr..
Corning to visit him later, when he
you'd probably be able to pay him or
at least to secure the claim satisfacto-
rily. The firm advised Mr.. Corning to
accept the invitation, which he did.
On his return MIR. Corning came home
delighted with the pleasure OF his visit,
and entertained his partners with glow
ing accounts of the great statesman S
Inequalities and descriptions of the
charming incidents of the sojouru, in
which he ignored mention Of the BUSH
ness object which partly impelled the
visit. Finally, after he had exhausted
description of the visit, one of Mr..
Corning's friends said: well, | sup
pose Mr.. Webster was pleased because
he was able to pay the note?" pleas
ed to pay the note, said Mr.. Corning
che not only didn't pay the note. but
he so charmed me that he got me to
sign another note for $4,000, and am
thankful that he didn't ask me to make
it $50. 900, for I don't think / could
have resisted his request" Mr.. Corn
ing is said to have had subsequent in
vitation to visit Marshfeld and to have
declined on the ground that he could

Ere rheumaiis' or care had come to streak your

And Two been thinkin, Martha Ann, how 'tisn't

You wore a homespun petticoat = waist OF
Us peach tree green,
You kept the Kitchen fire aglow, and kept the
front room clean,
In summer Time. the old fireplace you filed
with maple leaves.

CLOWN wreaths,
The smoothin' iron and candle-stick bedecked
the mantle board,
And on q peg behind the door your father hung
his sword.
We didn't keep a courtin' then like our son
William now,
For just told you what meant and you just
made your VOW;
built hut Of logs and lime, pig pen, and a
shed;
You made homespun bridal suit, and you and
got wed.
Now, Martha Ann we've labored hard through
many weary year,
We know our time can not be long we feel It
DRAWN near;
we've gntnored round us quite lot o worldly
gold and gain,
And yet 1t seems that harder grows tho toll,
and stress, and strain;
That farm we bought OF wilder Green and
deeded TO our John,
You lipow itcost US quito a sum to put house
upon.
There's Jim and Liza ridin' round in carriage
now, and car,
And Twin easy on the gold that you and toiled
u for;
Now, Martha Ann, it's been this way for seven
years or more,
And every year the burden grows some larger
than before
1t won't be long, good wife, till We shall sleep
beneath the heather
And I've been thinkin' we had better Just live
here together;
When we are gone, dear Martha Ann there'll
time enough remain,
But we can better keep this farm than get it
back again.
II Sam and Nell are willin' too, wen let them
run the farm
But we had better keep the deed at least twill
do no harm.
