HIS Epitaph.

Not many years ago an old official
of the English Foreign Office retired
from the service, to the great regret
Of his friends and colleagues. Both
he and they, however, had sense of
humor, and a card in the shape of a
funeral tablet was placed upon the
mantelpiece of his old room, bearing
these words: "In memory Of
who departed his official life on the
thirtieth of March. 1873. Scrupulous
in the avoidance Of every duty, he
gracefully escaped the obligations OF
this transitory life. Regarding virtue
as a thing beyond price. he was care
full not to degrade it by practice. His
mind was a storehouse of knowledge
of which he had lost the key, and in
finally paying the debt Of nature he
left to his sorrowing friends the con
ISOLATION of meeting his other liabili-
ties" The gentleman so eulogized not
only smiled over this satirical concoc.
ton when he found it in its place of
honor, but had it copied and placed
over a mantelpiece in his own house.

Josh Billings Philosophy.

If we accept a sekret we should lok
it up in our hearts, and then throw
away the key.
Thare is pedantry in most all things,
except the kollick-this IL a natral and
honest job.
Most of the melankolly in this world
comes from the dSpepshee, anu large
share Of the balance from being out ov
a job.
Ghosts allwuss travel in the night,
and the darker the night the more
ghosts thare liz, and the eazier it liz
to see them.
Thare are a crate menny things in
this world that are worth more than
money IL; but, after all, it IL the only
thing you kan pay yure taxes with.
Look out for the duv-eyed and pure
chap, who liz anxious to kiss everyone
he meets, man and woman alike-look
out for him; he kant tell himself what
he will do next.
The very prekoshus child IL the one
who allwuss gifts the fust bite at the
mallassiss handy, and nine times in
ten turns out to be the arbitrary phool
ov the whole lot oy children.
Az we gro older we are apt to re-
trench our acquaintances rather than
inkrease them This il not the best
way; the more we mix with the world,
and the less we let the world mix with
us, the happier We shall be.
