* * ( K.J WIT AM) HUMOR A Spanish proverb says: "The man who on his wedding day starts as a lieutenant in the family will never get promoted. It is a question worthy of careful in. rcsiigation, whether a poison whose voice is broken is not all the better competent to sing "pieces." Tub Rev. Robert Oollyer says he doesn't believe in miracles, but admits that he has seen "laying on of hands" benefit a loafer at ? cump-mcciing. An Ohio woman has knit one hundred and thirty tidies and given them to poor people, and now she thinks that some one else ought to tike hold and buy rocking chairs to hang the tidies on. "Why don't yon stand up there like a man ?" asked a New York magistrate of a drunken fellow arraigned before Uiui. "I can stand up very well, your kooor; hwt I can't make my boots itand up." mi . i i _ 1 ue ?uior day a mean man <jul hi Western Iowa went into a quiet country place, anil died so quick that his wife got his insurance money before the company had time to fail. The president says he never felt so swindled and cut ^ up since lie had liccn iu the business. ' % Won't you ladie3 tell me what you ore talklug about?" said a fop. "I'm all ears." One of the ladies looked at him sharply, and said, "Sb jou arc; you ought never to get your hair cut.'" - A Tennessee girl, riding on tbe cars, crossed the aisle, kicked a joung man up against the window and re* marked, "I was brung up never to al* low a yellow eyed inau to wick au P.\t had been engaged to kill a turtle for a neighbor, and proceeded irauic* ?liat*ly to cut off its head. Pat's at* tcntion was called to the fact that the turtle still walked about, though it hud bern decapitated, and he explained : "Sure the baste is entirely dead, only he is not conscious of it." During a recent examination of a class of youngsters in one of the Chemung county reboots, the teacher asked: "What is a monarchy?' and was immediately answered by a bright little eight ycur old boy: "A country ruled by a # king." "Who if the king rhoyld die?" "The queen." "And i^ the queen should die, who would be ruler theu ?" "The jack." A public spouter, while making a speech, paused in the midst of it. and exclaimed?'Now, gontlcmeD, what do / _ you think?' Instantly a man ruse in the assembly, and, with one eye partly clotted, modestly replied : 'I think, sir? I do indeed, sir?I think if you and I were to tramp the country together, we would tell more lies than any other uieu in the country, sir! and I'd not say n word during the whole time, sir.' They were what the world says "cn. gaged," and they were going to visit some of her relatives thirty utiles distant. Two railroads ran to the homo ol the latter, and the lovers were undeci. : - ^ ded which oi.e to take. "Thcro is o Inns, dark tunnel on the Q road Isn't there?" she innocently asked.

Live within your mear.s. This is a good rule ior office holders and business men generally. When the men with moderate income endeavor to live fts expensively as men with a largo income, his future can be easily written; a little enjoyment, periods of anxiety, burdensome debts, a desperate struggle to keep up appearances, ultimate bankruptcy and: a red flag to notify the neighbors that i the sheriff is master of the situation. I One half the dishonesty of the present' age springs from this foolish practice of imitating the style of others. The man of a thousand a year wants to live equal to the one who receives fire; he in turn aspires to make as big a show as the one who receives ten; and the receiver of ten labors to keep pace with the one who counts his income amongthe fifty thousands.Is it any wonder that so many fail in business, or forfeit by their misconduct the confidence of friends '! We uiust come back to our old fashioned way of living, and this can be i done only by obeying the injunction, I "Live within your means.Life is altogether too short to destroy .its enjoyments by taxing 6oul and hodv to keep up false appearances. Con* tcntment comes with moderation : mental suffering ami keen anguish with extravagance. To the young map just starting in life we say, live within your means. To .the man of business pursuing succoss, we say, live within your means. To the office holder who hopes by honorable conduct to merit promotion and dis. tinction. we say, live ULftbin your means. To all who labor for honor or profit, wc commend the motto as a safe and profitable one, and one that will pay compound interest in I the end. A faithful adherence to it by old and young, rich and poor would restore confidence in business and official circles, and fill the land with?happy homes, from which will emanate a spirit of purity essential to the maintenance of public virtue. Integrity of Character. Young men should be deeply impressed with the vast importance of cherishing those principles, and of cultivating those habits which will secure them the confidence and esteem of the w ise ami tlio good. A >oung man may bo unfortun* ate, he may be poor and penniless, but if lie possesses unbending integrity, and unwavering purpose to do what is honest and just, he will have friends and patrons, whatever may be the embarrassments and exigen. eies into which lie is thrown.' The young may thus possess a capital of which none of the misfortunes and calamities of life can deprive them. We have known men who have suddenly been reduced from afllu. enee to penury by some overwhclml ing misfortune, which tlicy could neither foresee nor'prevent. To.daj they were prosperous, to-morrow every earthly prospect was blighted, and everything in their futuic aspect of life was dark and dismal. Their business w as gone, their prosperity gone, and they feel that all is gone; but they have a rich treasure that nothing can take away. They J have integrity of character, and this gives them influence, raises up friends, furnishes them with pecuniary aid with which to commence life once more under auspicious cirAiimofannna VUIIIClUIIVVt7* Wo cannot too strongly impress upon our young men the importance of abstaining from everything which shocks their moral sensibilities, wounds their conscience, and lias a tendency to weaken that nice sense of honor and integrity so indispen* sable to a good character". 44 Integ**1 rity of character !" Whoever possessed it that did not derive untold advantages from it? It is better than riches, it is of more value than 44 diamonds and all precious stones;" and ye* every man may possess it. The poorest may have it, and no power on earth can wrest it from him. Young men, prize integrity of character above all earthly gifts. Advice (o Young Ladies. In marrying, inakc your own match : do not marry a man to get rid of him, or to oblige him, or to savo him. The man who would go to destruction without you will <juitc as likely go with you, and perhaps drag you along. Do not marry in haste, lest you repent at leisure. Do not marry for a home and a living. Do not let aunts, fathers and mothers sell you for money or position in bondage. tears and life-loiiji n < O misery, which you must endure. Place not yourself habitually in the hafids ol a suitor until you have decided the question of marriage; human wills are weak, and people often become bewildered, and do not know their error until it is too late. (Jet away from their influence, settlo your head, and uiakc up your mind alone. Do not trust your happiness in the keeping of one who has no heart, no head, no health. Shun the man who ever gets intoxicated. Do not rush thoughtlessly into wedded life, contrary to the advice of friends. Love can wait ; that which cannot wait is of a very liflcrcut character.
