SUBJECTS FOR THOUGHT.

We admit the superiority of any
other person with more or less mental
Observation-Disclosures Free Press.
Labor is the ultimate arbiter of HUI
man destiny. ALI theories and schemes
in the end come under its irresistible
law.
Never accept the invitation of a man
to take pot luck" with him. He de-
grades the name Of dinner and insults
you.
It is difficult, If not impossible, for
men to love and be wise; even the
heather gods, when they were in love,
made fools Of themselves.
The man who attends strictly to his
own business always sets a good exam
pie, and good example goes farther
in determining public morality than
meddlesome interference.
Laziness grows on people; it begins
in cobwebs and ends in iron chains.
The more business a man has to do,
the more he is able to accomplish, for
he learns to economize his time
What. makes selflshness such a dead
ly sin is that it is such self-deceiving
sin. A thief knows that he is a thief;
a liar that he has told falsehoods; but
a selfish man does not know he is sell
fish, hence he never repents of his sin,
and it grows with his growth and
strengthens with his strength.
Keep the current of your life broad
and full. To do this your thoughts
must be full. Share your thoughts
with others in diffarent nc uall &c in
the same walks of life, and open your
mind to snare in their plans, aims, feel
ing, troubles and joys.
