Words of Wisdom.

No gift offered by love is ever too
small
Character is always telling somebody
what it is.
y self made man always spoils his
job somewhere.
The fire and the gold never under
stand each other
Some people would say more, if they
didn't talk SO much.
Religion should do the most where
it is needed the most
An easy chair for the disconnected
cannot be found at furniture store.
Many rose-lined path is full of
tracks that were made by the cloven
foot.
Look out for the man who makes a
specially Of pointing on, faults in other
folks.
How soon the soul starves, when it
begins to look at everything through
money.
If great things have been done by
faith. why may not great things still
be done?
The man who makes a profession
that he dots not live, compels himself
to live lie.

What q Woman Can Do.

AS wife AID mother she can make
or mar the fortune and happiness of
her husband and children.
BY her thrift, prudence, and good
management, she can secure to her
partner and herself competency IN
old age.
BY her tender care she can often re-
store him to good health
BY her counsel and her love she can
win him from bad company, if temp
tatl0ns, in an evil hour, has led him
astray.
She can do as much as man, per
haps even more. u degrade him, if she
chooses to do it.
Asa WIFE She can ruin her husband
by a,asanCe ard folly, by want
of affection she can make an ou}cast
of man who might otherwise have
become good member Of society.
She can bring chickering's and strife
into what has been a happy house
hold.
She can become an Instrument Of
evil instead OF an angel Of good.
As mother her words and her ways
should be kind, loving and good. If
she repToSes, her language should be
choice and refined.
The true mother rules by the laws OF
kindness; and 20 her children the word
"mother' Is synonymous with every
thing pure, sweet and beautiful.

Chronic Growers.

They arc in every town, AMI Of
cOusre there arc few here. Their
business is to sit around and growl
and complain about every thing that
is going. They love to tell that higher
prices are being paid for all kinds of
produce Oh other markets, that bust
ness is dull here, that men cannot find
employment, etc. Such Old bllsters
on the business Of a town are incur
able. They just live Oh and Oh. They
are Il burden for progressive people,
a bore to all, except to their kind.
Such Old CumbCrerS Of the ground OcCa-
sionally 20 to church but it is to crti-
else the dullncss of the scrmon and
complain Of the hardness Of the seat.
And yet those same old sores will sit
down on a sp!ntercd goods box or
stone curbing and locking their hands
over their knees will complain Of the
way men run the government and
business ofthe country for hours and
hours at a time. There they sit and
make maps of the devils wild lands on
their shirt fronts with tobacco juice
and curse men who are doing their best.
They have necn compared to worn out
easles that sit around the eyrie and
peck and claw the eaglets who are at
tempting to fly. But that comparison
will not do, for when the eagle feels the
weight of time upon him and claw and
feather fail him he flies into the face of
the sun and rejuvenates himself.
These old clogs to business progress
can well be compared to birds blacker
and fouler than the eagle, that is if you
can call Il buzzard bird. They are
always looking for the foul and evil
in business, in politics and in religion.
Don't be a clog in the way Of the
progress of your town. Get out Of it
If you don't like it. Your room is
needed. Monroe Enquirer.

Masculine Gossips.

The Germantown. Pa.) Independent
Gazette discussing the question of Cos
sips, digs the masculine gossip and
scandal monger severely under the
fifth rib while by no means condeming
the practice in the female sex. 1t
says:
II women gossips are desp.cable,
men gossips are absolutely abomina-
be. Here the real manly man inter-
rupts by saying there are 70 mon Cos
sips. There shouldn't be. we know;
but there are, al tie same-mean.
scandal loving, reputation destroying
objects who pose as men, but who are
not worthy the name: 1t wouldn't be
so bad if these masculine gossips
would confinc their conversation TO
the substantial or imaginary pecadN-
Ices Of their Own sex, but there doesn't
appear to be enough spice III that tame
sort Of back-bitiu1; therefore the busy
BODY OF the masculine gender hits upon
some poor woman for his prey, and he
goes about from one to the other Of his
acquaintances whispering his innueu
does and insinuatiOns, doing ten times
more harm than if lie came right out
and told in 50 macy words what he
had seen or heard.
1t is fact to be recorded with a
long, straight, white mark, however,
that the mascu inc gossip is not largely
encouraged among the mem bers OF his
sex who bear any pretentlons to real
manliness. The women whom such
men select as their victims are yener
ally widows, who have no husband to
crush the lie these reprObatcs circulate
Or else women who are struggling hard
for livelihood. and whose consta
and necessary contact with the world
makes them more liable to invite COM
meu' and unkind criticism than the
wife or daughter whose honor is shell
tered by the protecting love and care
Of men WHO work for them. The mas
culinc gossip doe-n't touch the latter
oh, dear. 10. The cowardIy carcass is
afraid Of their protectors, but where he
las nothing to fear he lets his foul
tongue run riot, doing all in his power
to injurc and annoy. 1t is well that
some chivalry Still exists among man
kind and that the dettnceless woman
who cannot retaliatc either through
her husband or brother, not infrequent-
ly finds staunch defenders in the ranks
Of those III whom the gOssipper expects
to find enthu siastic and credulCus lis
teners.

In a sea of rose and gold aiioat;

While soft on our heads the dead leaves
fall,
Why do you sigh?
Nv sweetheart, princess with frosted hair
Blown from your face in shining mist,
Like thistle down in the air suh-ki5Sed:
Silver or gold dear, what do we care?
Gold or silver, it matters not;
Still the Old lovers heart is caught
In its silken snare.
The dropping tints o the Autumn tree
Are richer than roses in their day,
Sweeter than yiOlets in the May.
For rose or violet what care we?
The wide, fair sunset o the year
Is lovelier than its morning, dear,
For you and me.
The Star O. Love in the sky,
The moons white boat IS cast on the NIL
Shadows gather more dense AMI chill,
The deep wood thrills with the OWL eQi
A lonesome cricket croons in the wall,
Faster the leaves on our bowed heads
fall
AS the wind walls by.
Give me your hand. Is it growing cola?
Let il lie on a heart that is warm;
Lean on the strength Of a faithful arm,
Love like the dead leaf still must hold
Sweetness and song when he has missed
The fire of opal and amethyst
