Happy Men.

The old PerSians. who had MANY
authors of singular penetration, gave
the world the following proverb:
"There are two men in the world
who are perfectly happy /; The first
is the wholly ignorant man, who Is
happy because he thinks that he
knows everything"
1.-THE second is the really learned
man, who is happy because he kijws
that there will always be something
for him to learn"
This prOverb suggests certain max.
inns which were the favorites of a
Massachusetts clergymen. now dead
and which were as follows:
When a man knows not and knows
not that he knows not. he is a fool /;
shun him.
When man knows not and knows
that he knows not, he is simple !;
teach him.
When a man knows and knows
not that he knows, he ia asleep; wake
him.
When a man knows and knows
that he knows, he is wise follow
him.

BEST WAY TO GET ON.-A young
man once wrote to the celebrated
Thomas Carlye asking his advice
about the best way to get on. The
following was the quaint answer /:
Study to do faithfully whatsoever
thing in your actual situation YOU
find. either expressly or tacitly, laid
to your charge-that is, your post ;
stand in it like good soldier. Sill
emily devour the many chagrins of
it, as all human situations have
many, and see that you aim not to
quit it without doing all that it. at
least. requires of you. A man per-
fects himself by work much more
than by reading. They are a grow
ing kind of men that can wisely com
bine the two things - wisely, val
iantly. can do what is laid to their
hands in the present sphere, and pre-
pare themselves withai tor doing
other. wider things, if such be before
them"

No LONGER RAGGED.-Some one
asked the editor of the London Punch
why ragged people never go to
church. and he replied. because
when people 60 to church they soon
cease to be ragged" There is world
of truth in that explanation. The
hungry, ragged creatures that have
to be fed and clothed by the hand of
charity rarely belong to any church.
Grumble, as too many people do,
about the amount of money required
to maintain churches, it is the bes
invested money in the country
There are scores of hungry and rag
ged men who would soon be able to
feed and clothe themselves if they
were brought under Gospel influ-
ence.-CanaCIG Presbyterian.

Words of wisdom.

Second thoughts ars the adopted child
rem of experience.
The error Of a moment may become
the sorrow Of a whole life.
Flattery is sort of bad money, to
which vanity gives currency.
Life is like flower, which is no soon-
e. blown than it begins to wither...isiia
Good will, like good name, is got by
many good actions. and lost by none.
II you promise at all, take care that it
be so that nobody may suffer by trust
ing you.
The only thing which every one can
do, and the only thing which any one
need 90, is his duty.
Il is a sign of wisdom to be willing to
receive instruction The most intelligent
sometimes stand in need of it.
Fidelity, good humor and complacency
of temper outlive all the charms of a fine
face. and make the decay of it invisible.
He that cannot forgive Others, breaks
the bridge over which he must pass
himself; for every man has need TO be
forgiven.
Talking politics is like the man who
followed an old circus ring in the dark,
thinking be was on the path toward
home.
If one wishes to take things easy when
one is old, it will be necessary TO take
many things that are not easy when one
is young.
There is no more virtue in ballot
which is cast by man instructed how to
vote, than there is in repeating the worus
of another.
Kind words are the brightest flowers
of earth's existence; they make very
paradise of the humblest home that the
world can show.
Persons who fear their enemies by low
ing them, will become so entangied in
obligations that a condition Of servitude
will be their reward.

A Corpuient Westmoreland Girl.
The largest and heaviest girl of her age
that has ever lived has been unearthed at
the little village of Cokeville, Westmoreland
county, near the Indiana county.line, about a
quarter of mile from Blairsville Intersection
and Blairsville. Her name is Della Beck
her age is l6 years, and she weighs 45O
pounds.
The girl is the daughter of respectable
coal miner, and is one of eight children.
Her parents are both of ordinary size, and
none of her brothers or sisters show signs of
exceeding average limits in point of physi-
cal development. One sister reached the
weight of l45 pounds at the age Of years,
bat died at that period.
Compared with famous fat women of his
tory, Della Beck outshines, or rather out
weighs, them all, when her age is taken into
account Hannah Battersby, the faitest
woman that ever lived did not acquire her
phenomenal proportions until she was 40
years old, and Big Winnie, the colored heavy
weight, was 80 before she made record for
herself.
The Cokeville phenomenon has had many
offers from exhibitors, and if allowed to ex
ercise her own judgement, would have ap-
peared in public already, but her parents
who are steady. hard-working Americans,
have, up TO the present, declined to enter
tain any proposals.

Measuring a Man IN a Bank.
"what's going on there?'


This question was asked by man who
happened TO be in Pittsburg bank the
other day when customer was being
measured for the purpose of Identification
preliminary 10 the issuance of letter of
credit.
By the way, it seems odd to go into a
bank and ask 10 be measured for letter
Of credit, just as one would go to a tailor
to have his dimension ascertained, pre-
paratory to the preparation of plans and
specifications for the erection of new gar
ments but let that pass.
Bank officials do not propose to let q
short, thick set man draw cash in Europe
which has been deposited in America by
a tall, slender individual.
On second thought, however, we don't
see how "short" man could get letter
of credit anyhow but let that pass, too.
"Why," explained man who knew,
they are taking his measure so that he
can be identified. Then they will give
him letter of credit for 81 900, which
he can draw on as he needs it when he's
travelling"
"a thousand dollarsl"
'Yes."
Why, he's only about five feet two
inches tall"
that's about his height"

@I'm over six feet and that would give
me credit for about $1,000, wouldn't it?
