QUIET THOUGHTS.

Kind thoughts are wings which bear
us on to kinder deeds.
1t is true that the busiest man is
the happiest man, but he often does
not have time to realize it.
Love of ones own family may be.
come cause for blame if it stretches
over into injustice to others.
We bring into the world the germ
of all that we may become, but its
culture is largely left to ourselves.
Giving advice is. many times, only
the privilege Of saying foolish thing
ones self under pretense of hinder.
ing another from doing SO.
The love of truth for its own sake
is the love Of God. Be not afraid to
contemplate with unflinching eye
aught that is. Truth is absolute; lies
are accidental.
Employ your time in improving your.
self by other mems documents; SO
shall you come easily by what others
have labored hard for. Prefer knowl-
edge to wealth, for the one Is transi-
tory, the other perpetual.
1t is great truth, wonderful as it
is undeniable, that all our happiness
temporal, spiritual and eternal-con-
sists in one thing. namely, in resign
ing ourselves to God, and in leaving
ourselves with Him to do with us and
In us just as He pleases.

NEXT MORNING PHILOSOPHER.

The fast man seldom passes the half
mile post.
Were it not for the hod carrier the
house would not go up.
The man who deliberates should not
be confused with the man who hesi-
tates.
The scolding woman is but little
less ridiculous than the scolding male
biped.
To some it is always an era of pros
perity, while to others it is always an
era of hard times.
The per capita wealth of country
is to be found on paper, not in the
pockets Of tho people.
Taking everything into considera-
tion, the real wonder is that the world
is as good as it is in most respects.
There is wide difference between

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR

Handsome is as the photographer

Love thy neighbors as they love

When woman is pleasant to
everybody in the family it is a sign

The safest thing for a man to do

The man who never has a word to

A woman's instinct makes her as
sure that burglars have tried to get
