BRAHMAN PROVERBS.

He that committeth no evil hath
nothing to fear.
Mix kindness with reproof and rea-
son with authority
OF much speaking cometh repentance.
but in silence is safety.
The first step toward being wise is to
know that thou art ignorant.
Envy not the appearance of happi-
ness i'm any man. for thou knowest not
his secret griefs.
Indulge not myself in the passion of
anger 1t is whctting sword TO wound
thine own breast.
Consider and forget not thine OWE
weakness, so shalt thou pardon the
failings of others.
The heart of the envious man is gal.
and bitterness. The success of his
ncighbOr breaketb his rest.
This instant is thine The next is il
the womb of futurity, and thou know
est net what it may bring forth.
AS veil addeth to beauty. so are a
mans virtues set off by the shade
which his modesty casteth upon him.
As the ostrich when pursued hideth
his head. but forgettetll his body. SO
the fears of coward expose him to
danger.

which had been Captain Pabst's chief
characteristic during life did not de-
sert him until his tongue w,s stilled
and his eyes closed in death. His dy-
ing words were words Of cheer and
encouragement to those whom he has
left behind to mourn his loss.

THE Willy RED MAN.
some Instances of the indiana
Qufckness of Wit.

Numerous instances of the red mans
quickness of wit are related by those
who have had dealings with him. A
Canadian chief was looking idly on
while some Englishmen were hard at
work improving property newly acquir-
ed from the dusky tribe.
"Why don't you work." asked the SUI
pervisor of the chief
why you no work yourselfT' was
the rejoinder
Il work headwork." replied the white
man. touching his forehead. But come
here and kill this calf for me. and I'll
give you a quarter"
The Indian stood still for a moment,
apparently deep i'm thought, and then
he went off to kill the calf.
why don't you finish your job?"
presently asked the supervisor, seeing
the man stand with folded arms over
the unskinned. undressed carcass.
you say you give me quarter to
kill calf" was the reply. "CaIf dead.
Me want quarter"
The white man smiled and handed
the Indian an extra coin to go on with
the work.
How is it," asked the EagIishman
one day after a series of such one sided
dealings. that you so often get the
better of meY'
81 work headwork." solemnly replied
the man of the woods.
A white trader once succeeded in
selling a large quantity of gunpowder
to one of this tribe on the assurance
that it was new kind that the white
man used for seed and if sown in es-
pecially prepared loan would yield an
amazing crop. Away went the Indian
to sow his powder and i'm his hope Of
making money from his fellows was
careful not TO mention his enterprise
When at last. however. he realized how
he had been duped he held his tongue
for a year or more until the trickster
had completely forgotten the occur
renee. Then he went to his hoaxer's
store and bought goods on credit
amounting TO a little more than the
price of the planted gunpowder. He
had the reputation of a good payer. and
his scheme worked easily. When set

beware of platitudinous ponderosity.
Let your conversational communication
