Pointed Arrows.

The world seldom thinks well of
a man who does not think well of
himself.
Take enough love with you to
tighten your labor, and still have
enough left to light the way home.
To him who is right with his
heart the world is never wrong
We must delight in sacrifice to
win success.
A disconsolate night awaits him
who wastes the day.
The faithless are usually the
fault-finders.
There should be no place like
home if the children do not think
so it is your fault.
Even when a fellow hasn't an
idea in his head he demonstrates
that there is plenty of room at the
top.
1t takes a wise woman to conceal
her rage.
The smallest fish often inspire
the biggest tales.
Remember that your neighbor
has his troubles too, so keep your
own at home.
While everything may come to
him who waits it is a mighty good
idea to get down off the fence once
in a while and scratch around a
little while you wait.
If girls would learn that every
man who admires them may not
love them, much embarrassment,
trouble and misery would be avoid
elk.

No Tariff Needed.

Iron and steel exports for eleven
months are $33,OOO,OOO less than
two years ago, and $41,000.000
less than last year. which shows
that the rest of the world is less
able than it was two or three years
ago to buy the products of our furn-
aces and foundries and rolling mills.
But, as our exports in this line in
the past eleven months exceed
1871, 100000, it is preposterous to
pretend that our manufacturers are
not competent to hold their home
market unless foreign iron and steel
shall be excluded by stiff duties. In
the exports of the current incom-
plete fiscal year 1877 locomotives,
100000 worth of typewriting ma
