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

Western Iowa went into a quiet country
place, anil died so quick that his wife
got his insurance money before the company

says he never felt so swindled and cut

' % Won't you ladie3 tell me what you

him sharply, and said, "Sb jou arc; you

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.

Live Within Your Means.'
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.
