WORDS OF WISDOM.

Under many a fancy waistcoat les
a plain heart
Lost wealth may be recovered but
lost time never.
Men and wagons rattle most when
there is nothing in them.
To be learned is to have a full res
ervoir; to be wise is to have an unfail
ing spring.
One worthless bit Of string may
hold together a score OF more of price
less pearls.
Criticism is like a stonc-it either
sharpens or ruins the edge Of talent,
according as it is applied.
All brave men love; for he only is
brave who has affections to fight for.
whether in the daily battle of life
OF in physical contests.
Plying people and being pitied one.
self are two very different things.
The first is soothing and sweet; the
second is annoying, or even madden
ing, accorG.ng to the temperament of
the patient
If you have an evil day approaching
or a bad quarter of an hour in front
Of you, or any kind Of disagreable duty
or engagement whatever, meet it with
out delay. 1t is better as a rule vol
UNFAIRLY to face it at once than 10 be
compelled to do so later.

A city DESTROYED by Silence.

Amyclae, if the old legend of its fate
is to be relied upon actually perishcd
through silence. The legend concern
ing the unique end of this ancient city
is as follows; Amyclae was a town OF
Laconia, founded by the Lacedemonian
king Anyclae. 1t was an independent
city for .nany years, but was finally
conquered by the Spartans The city
had been so often alarmed by false ru-
raors OF a projected Spartan invasian
that at last, weary of living in state
OF absolute terror, it was decreed that
it should be made public offence to
report the approach OF an enemy. SO
when the Spartans at last actually ap-
pearcd before the city no one dared to
warn the officials OF their approach, and
thus they were able to take the town
with scarcely an effort.
There is, it must be admitted, az
other Silence" myth concerning Amy
clae Servius says that the city was
founded by Pythagorcans, forbidden,
by laws OF their order, to speak OF or
to harm scrpents. The result was that
the snakes from the hills sought the
precincts Of the city, and, no one dar-
ing to speak OF it to his ncighbor or TO
harm the Shiny creatures. one by one
the Inhabitants left until finally the city
was completely turned into snake den.
