Lote isfsed tew bo blind, but i kno lota or phellows in love who kau se?i twice ax much iu their gals ax i kan. The miser iz a riddle. What he pos senses he haint got, and what be leaves behind in id he never h .d. Good phisick is like a fi Idle, it fur uishes tho tuuc, while uatur cuts the pigeon wing and cures the patient. Caution, tho very ofton wasted, ix a good risk to take. Pity iz about tho meanest wash that o ne man kan offer another, i had rather hur a 10 dollar greenback that had been tern io two twice and pasted together, than tew hare all the pity tbare iz oo the upper side or the earth. Pity iz notk> iog more than ? quiet aatisfackshun that i am a great bt r oph thau yu am, and , that i intend to keep so. Fortune iz like a coquctt, if ycu don't ran after her she will run after jou. Did you ever hear a very ritch man aingf If i was going to paint a pikture of Faith, Affection and Honesty, i would I paint mi dog looking up in mi face and I waggon hia tail. Kddie (a very smart boy).?"Pa, how many chiakens are thereon that dish V Parent.??uTwo, my son." Kddie.?*'No, there are three This is one, and that is two; and don't one and two make throe ?" Parent.?"Well, then, jour mother may have one, I'll take the other, and you may have the third for your din ner. Tho devil is a mean kuss. lie never keeps hia own promises but alwus makes us beep ours. Truth iz az artless az a child, aud az purswasive. Thare iz nothing in ibis life men pay so hi a price for az they do Jor repcu tanee. Laws are made, customs grow; lawi ba.v tew be executed, customs execute themselves; laws be^io where customs end' Men who bav a .good deal tow say, use the fewest words. Punning ix nothing moro than mjimickry. The best punster now living iz a mon key; he makes a pun on a louse forty times a day bi skratehi.ig hiz head. The road tew wealth is a highway; but the road tew kwowledge is a byo vW.ay. Shame iz the djeing embers tew vir tcw. I et during the forenoon too often, baa alircddy disknunted hiz dinner. ] never knu a man troubled with uiol nnkolly who hud plenty tew dew, and | did it. Good breeding, nz i understand, it, is giving every man biz duo, without rob bing yourself. I don't know ova bettor kurc for sor row than tow pity s unobodyelse. Kxpcriencc iz a grinds tun) and it iz .ucky lor us if we kau get brightened by it?not ground . We shouldn't forgit ono thing': that there iz not n single fee simple on this ftttslool: even the. best tooth in our bed may fall tew aking before sunset, and hav tew bo jerked out. Ignor.tnco iz tho wetuuss ov prejudice. Anticipation iz konstautly nibbling expekted pleasure until it consumes it; jias so the school boy, who visits his has Natur iz jist as honest az a cow. Talk little, but listen loud, iz the way tew make the company ruspekt yuj I mean BUBpekt yu ov knowing a grate deal more than yu aktully do. If you should reduce the wants ov the people ov Nu York citty down tew aktu al necessity* and plain comforts, you would hav tew Rubble the perlico force tow keep them from committing sui cide. People, when they find fault with thetrself', are generally more anxious tew be consoled than lorgiven; and, there fore, when a uiau begins tew confess biz ?ins tow mo, and sez "thi-rr isn't no hope for /????," i tell htm he ought tew kno awl about it, and l guess \i more titan half right. What the world wants iz a good exam ples, uot so much advice; advice may bo wrong, but examples prove theinselfs. Pride is bogus. Adam at one time had a right tew bo proud: but he let siu beat him out of hiz birthright. A crowing hen nnd a cackling ruse- ' ter are very uiisluuuuate poultry iu a lauiily. Az a gineral thing the man who nnr rys a woman ov more uppoicru-t than himself, will find tho woman more anxious tew preserve the distance bo tweeu them thin tew bring him up tew her grade or go down tew his level. Titles are valuable ; they make us acquainted with menny persons who would otherwise be lost among the rubbish. Peaco iz the softaud holy shadder that virtew casts. Habits are like the wrinkles on a man's brow; if you will smooth out the one, i will smooth out the other. It iz a ilat nod sight eazier to find six men who ken tell exactly how a thing Ought tow bo did, than to find one will do it. Marrying for money iz u meaner way tew git it than counterfeiting, Dispatch iz taking time bi tho ears. Hurry iz taking it bi the end ov the tail. The miser who heaps tip gains tew gloat over, iz like a hog in a pen fat tod for a show. Tho Hi ml Man. ? The skilled workman, whoso moral character is faultless, forms ono of the noblen typesofour American civilization Such workmen can be found, nut only in tho machine shops but on tho farm. Such nion have not dreamed themselves into position, but have formed for them selves characters that are of value and worth, and their services are always in domaiid. Tho model hired man is one who is an early riser; ono who looks af ter the most trivial matters about tho firm. If he sees anything that ought to be done he docs it as soon OS an oppor tunity occurs. Let it only ho a fence rail, a plank tl.a,t in wanting, it is ro placed in its proper position. A great many little things arc being constantly ?!? nauded of the hired man; but prompt attention to them is a matter of very great importance to hus employers, The working man on the farm should etiib avrx to take ns much interest in seeing that everything is done at the right time, and iu the bent possible way ar the employer bims If In this way he will render himself useful?nay, al most ind.i?p neiblo?to any thorough going farmer who fortunately oontrols tho service* of auch a man. Hons ling. Ann Strong was a aid llttlo boaster. I hough slie ment to speak the truth, she was so vain nod thoughtless that no one would believe her. She always wanted 'a long lossnn. She would say, "I oan learn it all, it is it is not too hari for mo;" though when her class was called out to b* examined, she was often sent back to hor seat to study. If anything woo V be done at .Some or at school, Ann would always say^ "I know how, please let me do it;" even if it was a thing she could n) done all. Ann's teacher wished some one to point to the name of tho cities on a large nmp, so that all the girls in the clasa might knew where to fi.id them. ' Oh, let mo do it,"'said Ano,?I kno.* how as well as can be.' 'Ye?, you may do it," said Miss R*W* ton: but Ann could not point to a single name that her teacher called. 'You are liko a silly little pigeon I used to hear about when I was a little girl," said bor ?istor. A bright oyod little girl, raising he* right hand, (Oh, please tell us all about . the pigeon.', 'The story,' replied Mis* Eaton, 'ia that when the pigeon first came in**v the world, all the other birds came and offered to sbo^ her how to build* nest." t ? tst? 'The cat bird showed her its nest, all made of sticks and bark; and the spar-, row showed her theirs, which were woven with moss and hair. But the pigeon, walking about in a very vain way,, aud turning her head from aide to side, said: 'I know how; I know how to build my nest as wel 1 as too best of ysV&r . ; ? n : 'Then tho black bird showed vis* nett, which w.ih fastened to some reeds, and swung over tho watar, and the turtle dove said hers was easier to build tHtn all, for it was quite flat and wade only of sticks laid to together. Hut the pig ?>n turned her pretty head asbofore and said;'I know how.' 'At list all the birds left" he*. Tfeesj the pigeon found that she did not know how at all: and she went without ? nest uutil a man took pity on her, fjssd built a pigeon house and put some hay into it. ?Now, children, though the story of the pigeon is only a f.iblo, and net true, y t von may loam a vory useful le* 'Little bops and girls who are .rain boastora, aro laughed at by others, and deceive themselves. Like the silly pig eon, they say: 'I ktiow how !' but they oftcu lind to their sorrow, when his too lato, that they do not. ^ Remember, my doar children, that whoa you once loam to do anything well you will uot need to boast of it. Oiling Harness. The fallowing recipe is sept us by A Tait, of Howard oouuty, Kansas. He thinks it is the best he has ever used, and it is se simple that any one may easily try the experiment: Take about half a gallon of oil, and put in a shallow pan or basin, and dip the harness in, one pioco or moro at a time; then strip the oil off of the strap with your fiagors, letting it run back into the basin; hang up to dry; repeat tlie dipping of the harness two orthree times until it will take no more oil. A little lamp black added helps the looks very much. After the oiling take a rag and rub off the harness, and yon will final the hardest loither and tho stiftest lug have become very pliable and will re main so from one to three years. You, may leave thoin out in the rain * doico times; and you cannot see but they are us pliable as before the water touched them. And not only that,but the rata and mice will ucver touch them. If they are dirty, it is not necessary to clean before oiling. The pardoning power baa been taken away from tho Goverinr of Iow%.
