WORDS OF WISDOM.
Second thoughts are the adopted oAil-
dren of experience.

Second thoughts are the adopted oAil-
dren of experience.
The error of moment may become
the sorrow of whole life.
Flattery is sort of bad money, to
which vanity gives currency.
Life is like flower, which is no soon
er blown than it begins to wither.
Good will, like good name, is got by
many good actions, and lost by none.
If you promise at all, take care that it
be so that nobody may suffer by trusting
you.
The only thing which every one can
do, and the only thing which any one
need do, is his duty.
1t is sign of wisdom to be willing to
receive instruction; the most intelligent
sometimes stand in need of it.
Fidelity, good humor and competency
of temper ontlive all the charms OF fine
face, and make the decays of it invisible.
He that cannot forgive others breaks
the bridge over which he must pass him
self; for every man has need to be for
given.
Talking politics is like the man who
followed an old circus ring in the dark
thinking he 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 a ballot
which is cast by man instructed how to
vote, than there is in repeating the words
of another.
Kind words are the brightest flowers
of earth's existence; they make a very
paradise of the humblest home that the
world can show.
Persons who fear their enemies by low
ing them, will become SO entangled in
obligations that condition of servitude
will be their reward

THE PARABLE OF HAPPINESS

A rich mans goodly son did go
Affair TO find true happiness.
He tracked the treasures of the snow,
And Indus tracked The stormy stress
OF hill-set seas the peace of palm-set plain
He searched and eager searched; yet searched
in vain
The hundred battered battle gates
Of Thebes, the stored temple door
OF Delphi, oracle of fstes
Or sacred shrine or holy store
OF healing things he saw; yet day by day
Grew care upon him like mantle gray.
Still had he honors oft, and great,
Fer goodly was his heart and keen
His wit and generous his state,
And much his eager eyes had seen.
Yet happiness came not; and over all
His ways and days there ever lay pail.
And he grew fretted came to feel
That tate had bounded him. he said:
"Ah, cursed of Godl' His heart grew steel
And stone; and bitter grew his bread.
AT last, outworn, he turned him, with sigh,
TO seek his childhood's home and cherries
die
And there he sat him, all apart,
A moody, selfish, sule1 thing.
Yea, God had given him heart
Far back. But he had sought to bring
True happiness unto himself alone;
SO God instead had given him stone.
One day child passed where he sat
Mid his ancestral wood and moaned.
The barefoot thing did start thereat,
And starting, fell He grudging groanei
Some selfish word, the while he stopped and
bore
The bleeding waif to his own stately door.
Aud oh, the rising sun he knew
That day, and all his after days!
His pent soul widened till it grew
To reach, as reach the dear suns rays,
All things that lay about, before;
Nor walled he out for happiness oncs more.

Sympathy for the Preacher

A good story is told of the Rev.
Sam Jones. Once in a crowded
assembly, after his sermon, he
said:
81 want everybody to stand up
who wants to go to Heaven. Al
most everybody stood up and
then he said: "Now il there is
anyone who wants to go to
hell, stand up" For a moment
no one stood up, then an individ-
ual IN al back seat arose aud said:
81 don't exactly want to go to
hell, but am willing to stand up
rather than let the preacher stand
alone. Nashville dmerican.

POWNING'S FIGHT.

Pownins's fight for the Guber-
Material nomination commended
the admiration of his adversaries
for its dash and determination
He played his hand with great
skill, and at one time OILY lacked
a few points OF whining.
The APPEAL was not for Mr..
Powning as a Gubernatorial can
didate, but it does not wish to let
the ol portunity pass for paying a
tribute to his gamy handling of
his fight. When downed he ac-
cepted defent gracefully, and shak.
ing hands with Colcord guaranteed
him Washoe by large majority.

NOT A SLATE TICKET.

The Eureka Sentinel, which al
ways knows every thing in adj
vance, printed the following last
week:
"rhe average Republican voter
OF delegate l. fool who thinks he
Las anything to do with naming
the ticket of his party. The work
has all been cut and dried months
ago. j. p. Jones for Senator,
Ross Culcord for Governor, Frank
Newlinds for Congress, Bartine
for appointment to the U. S.
Judgcship, Tom Hawley for Su
preme Judge, Jimmy Torreysnn

for State Printer, harley Bicknell
for Jerk of the Supreme curt,
John E Jones, Surveyor General
these are the gentlemen slated
by the ! entral Pacific Railroad
for the Republican voters of Ne
vada to support in the coming
election.
BY comparing the above with
the ticket actually nominated, the
Seatinei will see at once that the
"slate" was badly smashed, or
else the SeatineL is a poor guesser.
