Good Advice for the Rows.

Burdette in the Brooklyn Eagle gives
the following sound advice to young
men:
So you were little pert, and spoke
without thinking, my son? And you
got picked up right suddenly on your
statement Ell? Oh. we'll, that's all
right, that happens to older men tn IN
yourself every day.
have noticed that you have very
positive way of flying decision where
other men state an opinion, and you
frequently make a positive assertion
where older men merely express a
belief. But never mind; you are young.
You will know less as you grow older.
Don't | mean you will know morep"
Heaven forbid, my boy! No, indeed;
i mean that you will know less. You
will never know more than you do now;
never.
If you live TO be 10000 years old you
will never again know as much as you
do now. No hoary-headed sage, whose
long and studious years were spent in
reading men and books, ever knew SO
much as boy of your age. A girl OF
ID years knows about as much, but then
she gets over it sooner and more easily.
'Does il cause a pang, then, to get
rid OF early knowledge" All, my boy,
it does. Pulling eyeteeth and molars
will seem like pleasant recreation
alongside of shedding off great solid
slabs and layers of wisdom and knowl-
edge that now press upon you like geo.
logical strata.
"But how are you to get rid OF this
superintendent wisdomp" Oh, easily
enough, my boy; just keep on airing
it, that's the best way. 1t won't stand
constant use, and it disintegrates rap
idly on exposure to air.

Abraham Lincoln as q Dancer.

Gen. Singleton of Quincy, H., who
was one OF the bright young lawyers of
Springfield when Abraham Lincoln
was u green youth there, tells this
story, says the Washington Post,
which we believe has never been print
ed before The bevy OF bright young
ladies to whom Miss Todd belonged be-
fore her marriage to Mr.. Lincoln used
to have good deal of sport at this
awkward young mans expense. One
evening at little party Mr. Lincoln
approached Miss Todd and said in his
peculiar idiom:
Miss Todd, should like to dance
with you the worst way"
The young lady accepted the inevita-
BILE and hobbled around the room with
him. When Miss Todd returned to
her seat one of her mischievous COM
panions said:
"Well, Mary. did he dance with you
the worst wayP"
YES" she answered; the very
worst.

gent himself didn't see It, but he felt
that something had happened and that
he had arrived ut II crisis in his life.
A painful, startled expression rested
for a moment on his face; then with a
low, plaintive wall OF henrLbreaking
agony he half rose from his chair and
clappcd his hand on his stomach. He
struck the oyster. but that coy crea-
ture was one of the most alert and
agile of its species. Itat once changed
its base on feeling the pressure, and
SHE'D upward and across the fat mans
wide expanse OF palpitating bosom,
leaving trail Of arctic frigidlty In its
wake, and took up new quarters in his
left armpit
With u wild howl OF anguish the I'M
happy proprietor OF the oyster leaped
two feet In the air, uttered another
yell like wild-west Indian. and
commenced TO work his arm after the
manner OF a bag-pipe musician. The
oyster got excited and started again on
its travels, but was apparently unable
to select permanent location. After
making several blind rushes it halted
for u moment under a short rib near
Vic SpluO W CdJCll us SoCOuu Wlnu.
The unfortunate fat man was now in
state OF mind bordering on insanity.
He kicked over his chair, yelled aud
swore. grabbed himself in front and
behind and on both sides, rolled up his
eyes, frothed at the mouth, and
spun round like a top. But the
slippery bivalve was now thor
oughly ratified and scooted here and
there like streak OF creased light
ming, taking great pains not to travel
over the same ground twice.
Hes got fit" screamed u wild"
eyed man, making rush for the door,
with napkin tucked under his chin.
"lts either that or he's atire inside
OF his Clothes" said another palelaced
diner cdging away from the sufferer.
'.For mercy's sake take him OF some
body; I'm dyingr' walled the stricken
man as he threw up both hands and
sat down heavily on the floor.
When the victim of misplaced re-
freshments struck the floor the oyster
shot out OF the back OF his neck like a
bullet, hit the ceiling with squashy
plunk. and then fell back and hung
limp and lifeless from the chandelier.
The fat mans physician says that the
patient will recover from his attack OF
nervous prostration in few days.

THE ATcHISoN SOLON.

There is eloquence and pathos in
the silence OF fool.
Some people are always talking
about charity because they need it.
Even as pleasant n thing as praise is
dangerous; TOO much Of it is ridicule.
We all try to help a modest person;
we all try to injure a conceited one.
There is only one excuse for the man
who does wrong; it is not hard to do.
How we admire the man who hap
pens TO catch us doing a good deed on
the sly.
The only good thing that may be
said OF some men is that their existence
makes friends for other men.
You occasionally find a man who
knows so much that he spoils every
pleasure you would have in learning.
You can hire men to help you gath
er a harvest grown from good seed,
but you must reap your own tares.
The trouble of some people doing a
good thing is that they waste the rest
OF their lives in admiring it.
Some men are like some tickets in a
lottery. They look all right, but at
the critical time they turn out to be
blanks.
II your life has been good you can
not be hurt by gossip, but il your lite
has been bad u gossip is to be greatly
feared.
Even the barking dog does not APP
prove of his bad habit; when he goes
after sheep at night he leaves his bark
at home.
You occasionally find a silly girl who
takes it as n compliment to her looks
that she has no friends among her own
sex.
The pity that is given a monstrosity
Is wasted. The fat won IN at the
circus always looks with contempt at
her thin sisters in the audience.
When man gives party he gives
the incest OF everything he has to his
friends. but when a woman gives a
party she gives the incest to her ene-
mics.

We Ought TO Laugh More.

There ought to be societies formed
for the encouragement of the laugh.
A real laugh is not common. II he
laughed heartily and oftener man would
be better morally and physically.
There is nothing like habitual laughter
for promoting good appetites and good
digestion. The man who laughs hon.
estly has no heart for avarice, cruelty
and discrimination. A man may smirk
and guffaw and be a william still but
one who laughs habitually and With
his whole being can be nothing OF the
sort. Therefore, brethren and sisters,

TIE MARRIAGE TIE.
Jules Simon Opinion on the Mucn
Disputed Subject.

jules sim on OplnlOn on the MuCn
Disputed Subject.
The venerable Jules Simon has
favored the readers OF the Revue de
Famille with his views on the import
ant subject Of marriage.
He has not much faith in those sud-
den and romantic attachments which
novel writers and dramatists prefe r.
AS to the common complaint that
marriages de rdiS0n often unite people
who know little of each other, he
thinks that this reproach is much more
applicable to what are called Glove
matches" Think before you marry"
is the maxium. Mr.. Simon is not much
afraid of meSdliianceS; he assures us
that the only real meSdLiionceS in the
France OF these days is the union OF
two persons OF wholly diverse tastes
and inclinations. Judging by the
samples which he cites from his own
circle of friends-though his circle, to
be sure. is an unusually large one -
these ill-asSorted unions must be
rather common in France.
He knows u married lady who spends
her days in writing "vaporous verses"
her husband is a tanner, and beyond
hides and skins neither knows nor
cares for anything. Another, male
friend, is poet; This friends wife is
q graduate in mathematical sciences.
One OF his acquaintance, again, who
is q member of the institute, has mar
ried country girl who can make
cheese TO perfection, aud, as he scorn-
fully adds, "knows little about SPELL
ing" Another is an agnostic of the
aggressive type; his wife is always at
church. We are hidden to ask our
selves what conversations these coup
les can hold together, and how they
can unite in directing the education OF
children.

His Turn Now.

An English publication tells the
following story relating to certain
country magistrate: He is stanch
total abstainer and cyclist, and his
severity toward "drunk and disorder
lies" is almost proverbial. Not long
ago he sentenced "a brace OF these
gentry to fortnight's salutary ex-
ercise on the tread-mill. and, as the
story goes, last week he met the men
as he was ascending pretty stiff hill
on n heavy tricycle.. over rough road,
and in face OF stiff wind.
"Why. Bill" exclaimed one to the
other, ''blowed il this ant the bloke
that sent us on the MILL"

Heart Burn.

The hiccough is simply a contrac-
ton OF the mucles of the stomach, and
is most frequently due to eating or
drinking. The heart burn is likewise
a stomach complaint, and due to over
feeding or faulty digestion of lats or
oils that have been overheated in cook
ing. Sometimes it is caused by an OK
cess OF gastric juice on the stomach,
when it can be remedied by eating
piece OF dry cracker or bread. Soda
mint tablets are good for this CON-
plant, and II half teaspoonful of bak-
ing soda in water can always be rec
commended. II it is due to over-eat-
ing pastry or other heated fats An
emetic, such as recommended for the
hiccough, is the easiest and most Of
fective way OF relieving the pain. A
little bicarbonate of soda will often
relieve it in such cases. without vomit-
ing. II caused by the food eaten,
the heart burn will usually make itself
felt about an hour and half after the
meal.
