Breaking Up and Breaking Down.

"a man may be all broken up, :"
said Mr.. Billtops, land yet not be
broken down at all. Grief breaks
us up, but we get over that, while
a break down may mean a collapse,
with recovery doubtful or difficult.
In cold climates where ice forms in
winter the rivers break up in the
spring, and they are all in turmoil
then, but when summer comes they
flow along placidly. So it is with
us. We may be all broken up and
get over it, but a break down is
quite another matter. New York

A Smart Rat.

From the Baltimore Sun
Some days ago a lady Of St Michaers
went to her dining room closet to get a
dish. AS soon as she opened the door OF
the closet a large rat the first one that had
been seen in the house. jumped of one OF
the shelves, clear over her head, to the
floor. The lady searched for the rodent,
but all TO no avail. During the afternoon
of the same day this lady's daughter made
a quantity Of large ginger cakes and placed
them in dish upon the top of an upright
piano in her parlor. The next morning sh6
went TO the parlOr 10 look after her cakes
but 10 her great surprise, not a cake Waa
there, not even a crumb The mother re,
nembered the rat, and after a careful
search saw Eewly cut hole through
wooden tireboard in the paTlor, and lie,
moving the screen from in front of ths
fireplace, discovered every cake in as per,
feet d state as when made. The rat was
also there, in a nest which he had made in
one corner of the fireplace. The cakes
were placed one upon the other with as
much precision as A MACON would lay his
bricks, formed into 4 wall around the nest
The skill with which the cakes were placed
was wonderful There were about thirty
five cakes on the dish, and the distance
fIom the top of the piano to the fireplace
was about ten feet. Neither the rat nor
the cakes were disturbed.

So soon as this issue was decided the

the revolver at one ear proceed with the

Common sense teaches that man should
not over work or over worry; that he should
take ample time for his meals, for resting

not neglect the little ills of life, because
they aIe the precursors of serious and fatal
