When is a lawyer strongest ? When he is fee-blest. How to dispel mental gloom Make light of your troublos. Nothing has so many ties bind ing it to earth as a railroad. There are sixty known varieties of oysters throughout the world. A prophet is not without honor s.tve in the October election No wonder a printer can't save any money ; he has to "set 'em up" so often. Mme. Janauseheck is playing a a successful engagement at the Walnut Street Theatre, Philadol phia. An exchange says how sweet it is to be remembered. Yes, but on the first of the month it is usually over-' done. A boy said, "My father has a brother, but lie is not my uncle. How can you explain the contra diction?" The boy lied. The second meal makes the glut ton, the socond ill word makes the quarrel, and the seconds load the pistols with blank cartridges. Derrick. Nothing makes a man so mad as to get about five blocks away from the dentist's and make the aiarming discovery that ho has had the wrong tooth pulled. William Shakespearo is running for constable in a Michigan villago. Yt this is the man who said: "Fling away ambition ; by that sin fell the angels." "How long are you going to stay here ?" "Why, my little dear?" "'Cause I'm hungry ; and mamma says we shall have dlinner as soon as that dreadful nuisance goes away." Smith and Jones were examining a gun that wva.; not loaded. Ofi course it wvent ofi'. Smith wvas nlled with remorse and Jones with bird~ shot number two.- Brooklyn Union. A colored preacher in Norwich a! while ago gave out the following' announcemnent: "Brothers andl sis - ters, next Sunday, the Lord willing, there will be a baptizing in this place, the candidates being four adults and three adulteresses." As Frank, who had been taughi; to believe that he had been made of (lust, stood watching the dust as the wvind wvas whirling it in eddies, he exclaimed: "Ma, I think the dust looks as if there wvas going to bo another little boy made." There has been a remarkable case of constancy in England. A man who separated from his wife thirty-. five years ago has just returned and offered to kiss and make up. A few days p)rior to the offer the wife had inherited a large estato. The American Christian R?eview includes in its lists of stations on the road to ruin, "a social party, a croquet party, a pie-nic, and a' dance." We have heard a man called a superannuated idiot for a good deal loss than this,-.f change. The New Zealanders are about to spend a considerable sum of money in acclimatizing the humble-.boo, so as to assist the agriculturists in cultivating clover. Common bees are not strong enough to force their way into the petals of the clover flowver and thus fertilize the plants as they fly from one to the other. For this purpose, therefore, the humble-bee is needed, but so far the nests sent out have been de stroyed. Attempts to acclimatize the common boe in some hot oli matos have so tar proved useless. After a short period they quit the hives, and cannot be enticed back. In New Mexico the following method of catching ants is both popular and efilcacious. A few large champagne bottles are buried in the ground near the entrance to the pest, till their tops are flush with the ground.

A T the recent meeting of the State - ) tr4l nt Examiners, at Columbia, SANDFORID'S SERIEA OF ANALYTICAL AltITI1METICS Was. among other text-bookf, adopted for use in the public schools of South Carolina for the nt xt live years. Those Arithmetics are the out-comn of thirty years experience of DR. SHELTON P. SANFORD of Georgia, one of the most skilful and euccessful teachers in this country. In clearness of definitions, fullness of slato exorQisos, thoroughnovs of uanlysis and general completeness, they are unsurpassod, if indeed equalled. They are eminently practical. Studying Sanford, pupils learn to think. Sinec.'71 -'73, they have been in use in the public and private schools of Charles. ton city, in the private schools of Colum. bia, etc., etc. Itead the following en dorsements basod on use of the books in the 8ohool: From noN. nluo S. THoMPsoN, State Superintendent of Eduoation. (At tho time of writing) Principal Nlalo Academy, Columbia, S. C., "Sanford's Arithmetics are superior to any that I have seen. in the fullness of the examples, the clearness aud simplicity of the analyses, and the accuraoy of the rules and definitions. This opinion is based upon a full and tho.zough test in the sohool-room. To those teauhers who may examine these Arithmetiot with reference to introduction, I would es pecially commend the treatment of Per centage and Profit and Loss. No text books that I have ever used are so satis factory to teaohers and pupils." From Miss E. A. KELLY, Principal Char leston, (S. C.) Female Seminary. "CHAnMESTON, July 13, 1878.-Sanford's Comninti School and Sanford's Higher Analytical Arithmetic have for five years stood the test of constant use in our class roomis. We think them better aalhiptedi to the wam,ta of our school than any o' ather arithmetics with which we are ae<inainted." Under date of July '22, 1878, Miss V'AnY BRowNFIE,LD, Summervilte, S. t'., writes: " H aving used Sanford's Arithmetics and Worcester's Dictioinaries for aeveral years a sool books, and seeing the beneficial resulta, I take great p)leasurc in reco"mmendinag them to the favorable notice of teachers." From Misa IsAnsr, D. MAnrTIN, Principal liigh School for Girls, (Jolumnbia, 8. 0. 'It afforda toe pleasure to give miy most unqualified comamendation of San, ford's Arthmhetics. I haveoused them i my school for several years with entire satisfaction. July 11, 1878, From PnoF. JN~o. B. PATRCK, Military Academy, Greenville, 8. C. "I introduced Sanford's Arithmeties Into my school two years ago I like] them better than any series thmat I have ever used." July 11I, 1878. Until January Ist, 1879, we will supply Sanford's Arithmetics for introduction' at prices in columns II or III, as ease may be. Column I gives retail prices which obtain after introduction shall have been acceomplished. J. LI. III.
