Anxiety in human life is what squeak
ing and grinding are in machinery that
is not 0i1ed. In life trust is the oil.
CHOICE EXCERPTS.
FRUITLESs is sorrow for having done
amiss if it issue not in resolution to do
so no more.
THE feeble tremble before opinion, the
foolish defy it, the wise judge it, and the
skillful direct it.
THE grandest of heroic deeds are those
which are performed within four walls
and in domestic privacy.
IF we could have little patience we
would escape much notification; time
takes away as much as it gives.
IT will not be long before you will have
forgotten all the world, and in little
while all the world will have forgotten
you.
WE anticipate our own happiness, and
eat out the heart and sweetness of world
ly pleasures by delightful forethought of
them.
NOTHING gives such blow to friend
ship as detecting another in an untruth;
it strikes at the root of our confidence
ever after.
THE mind profits by the wreck of ev-
cry passion, and we may measure our
road to wisdom by the sorrows we have
undergone.
PARTING and forgettingl What faith
full heart can do these? Our great
thoughts, our great affections, the Truths
of our life never leave us.
No man, for any considerable period,
can wear one face to himself and another
to the multitude, without finally getting
bewildered as to which may be true.
DEATH and exile, and all things that
appear dreadful, let these be every day
before thine eyes; but death most of all,
for so thou wilt neither despise nor too
too greatly desire any condition of life.
THE man who has never tried the
companionship of little child, has care
lessly passed by one of the greatest
pleasures of life, as one passes a rare
flower without plucking or knowing its
value.
WHILE in all things that we see OF do
we are to desire perfection and strive
for it, we are nevertheless not to set the
meaner thing in its narrow accomplish
ment above the nobler thing in its
progress.
1t is not safe thing to leave gener-
GUS feeling to the cooling influences of
a cold world. If you intend to do
mean thing, wait till tomorrow; if you
wish to do noble thing, do it now-at
once-and, like the blacksmith, "strike
while the iron is hot"
WHEN the veil of death has been
drawn between us and the objects of our
regard, how quick sighted do we become
to their merits, and how bitterly do we
remember words, or even looks of un-
kindness, which may have escaped us in
our intercourse with them.
How mysterious is this human life,
with all its diversities of contrast and
compensation; this web of checkered des-
TIMES; this sphere of manifold allotment.
where man lives in his greatness and
grossness, little lower than the angels,
little higher than the brutes.
THE fountain of content must spring
up in the mind; and he who has so little
knowledge of human nature as to seek
happiness by changing anything but his
own discontented disposition, will waste
his life in fruitless efforts, and multiply
the griefs which he purposes to remove.
NEARLY all are of opinion that devo-
tion is purer and more ardent in solitude,
but declare to you that they believe it to
be their duty to set an example by going
to church. Is not this pride and vanity?
What must they conceive of their own
value and importance, to imagine that
others will necessarily look up to them
as guides and models!
WHEN any one is thoroughly interest
ed in some subject outside of himself,
he forgets all about himself and his ap-
pearance, his self-conscious bashfnlness
crops away, and he becomes natural and
but when self looms up in
his mind as the central figure and the
theme, all true modesty,
dignity and ingenuousness will take
their flight.
THE want of method and habit In early |
life is answerable for many evils to man
hood. The youth accustomed to regu-
lar and industrious employment will sell
dom lose such habit in after life, while |
those who have been suffered to pass a |
desultory childhood will require extra |
fortitude and strength of character to be- |
come persevering, energetic and indus
trious in later years.
CHECKING NOSE-BLEEDING.
Obstinate nose bleeding is frequently
one of the most difficult things to check.
Several aggravated cases have lately
occurred at the hospital of the University
Of Pennsylvania. Asa last resort DR.. d.
Hayes Agnew tried ham fat with great
result Two large cylinders of bacon
fat were forced well into the nostrils, and
The hemorrhage ceased at once. 4
