WORDS FROM
THE LIPS OF
WISE MEN

~ YNICISM is intellectual dan
u dyiSm. -
Some people find pleasure in
weeping.
Adversely makes a man wise,
not rich.
The woman is so hard upon the
woman.
Joyfulness is the mother of all
virtues.
Repose is a good thing, but
boredom is its brother.
It is crime which brings shame
and not the scaffold.
Those who have known grief
seldom seem sad.
Business sweetens pleasure, and
labor sweetens rest.
Valor grows by daring-fear
grows by holding back.
He lives unworthily through
whom no other person lives.
There can be no friendship
where there is no freedom.
Where you cannot climb over
you must creep under.
Better face a danger once than
be always in fear.
Let not the sun look down and
say. "1nglorious here he lies"
There is no .disputing. with q
person who denies a principle.
In conversation avoid the ex-
tremes OF forwardness and re-
serve.
He keeps watch over good
castle who has guarded his own
constitution.
To be commended by those
VINO might blame, without fear
gives great pleasure.
If you live as nature bids you
you will never be poor-if to OBJ
tain the good report of men, you
will never be rich.

0F the various propositions so

anomalous power of the Supreme
Court to declare an act OF Con-
gress invalid on account OF It's
supposed repugnance to the Con-
stitution. the one proposed by
Senator Laid seems the best and

The Senator proposes an amend

resembling the authority therein
granted of, re-examining an act
of Congress and reversing or at
firming 1t. This amendment
would have the same effect upon
all acts of Congress that the act
of March, 1868, had upon the
reconstruction acts.
1t Is manifestly evident that If

A FARMER who lives about
IA four miles from Houston
- noticed a stranger in his
front yard one afternoon last
week acting in a rather unusual
manner. He wore a pair of
duckiig trousers stuffed in his
boots, and had a nose the color
of Elgin pressed brick. In his
hand he held sharpened stake
about two feet long, which he
would stick into the ground, and
after sighting over it at various
objects would pull it up and go
through the same performance
at another place.
The farmer went out in the
yard and inquired what he
wanted.
"Wait just a minute" said
the stranger, squirting his
eye over the stick at the
chicken house. "You see, I'm
