An old I.ady.s Mistake.

Cardinal Gibbons was formerly .
frequent visitor to Cape May and
usually took long walks morning and
afternoon by the seashore. He always
wore his cardinals skull cap of scarlet
silk, Of which an inch or so showed be.
low the rim of his silk hat. One after
noon while he was on the board walk
an old lady stopped him and said:
Excuse me, sir, but the lining of your
hat has slipped down in the back"
The cardinal thanked her gravely, but
her mistake.

AS TRUE AS GOSPEL.

There is always compensation. Our
angels go out that our archangels may
come in.
Unhappy is the man for whom his
own mother has not made all other
mothers venerable.
It is poor wit who lives by borrow
ing the words, decisions, mein, inven-
tons and actions of others.
What an absurd thing it is to pass
over the valuable partA of man, and
fix our attentions On his infirmities.
Virtue VIII catch as we'll as vice BY
contact; and the public stock of hon
est, manly principle will daily accumu-
late.
A greater value should be set on
having received instructive and usetu'
lessons than Of possessing great store
Of wealth; for the latter is transitory
good, the former is durable.
There is scarcely a generalization
for one sex which doe .ot apply equal
iy to the other, SO perfectly alike IN
nature are men and wOr.on. The dlt'

Master of the Situation,

In the days of slavery, Abram was an
especial favorite of his master, whom
he had served as body-servant from
his youth. At the death of his master,
his mistress accorded him the same
privileges he had enjoyed, and at the
time of emancipation he resisted every
temptation to quit the old plantation.
However, in the exercise of his magis-
terial duties, and his rights as priv
ileged character, he became obnoxious
to the other negroes, and no amount of
remonstrance on the part of his mis-
tress seemed to avail. Finally her pa
tience became exhausted by his fire.

well as with the rights of the negroes,
and she determined to dismiss him; so

peace on the same place, and we must
part" But before the mistress was
