Republican. FOOD FOR THOUGHT. Music for the Saratoga hotels costs $40,000 for the season. Always remember that it is better late than later. Little children are the lillies of the valley of life. Wanted.—An artist to paint the very picture of health. Indolence is the rust of the mind and the inlet of every vice. Laziness travels so slowly that pov erty soon overtakes her. In summer what aggravates are the flies; in winter it’s the flues. A foreigner, my young friend, is a man who comes from far and near, A deep thinker—The submarine ex plorer. Conscience is a terrible punishment to the villain 'who believes in a here after. The intellect of a truly wise man is like a glass; it admits the light of heaven and reflects it. Grain is cradled when it is in the sere and yellcw; man is cradled only in his yeller days. You never hear of a strike among the astronomers. There business is always looking up. The chief properties of wisdom are to be mindful of things past, and careful of things to come. “Father, have guns got legs?” “No.” “How do they kick then?” “With their breeches, my son.” Men usually follow their wishes until suffering compels them to follow their judgment. Whims are harder to remove than sorrows; for time, instead of weakening, strengthens them. Be always at leisure to do good; never make business an excuse to de cline offices ofhnmanity. He who is puffed up with the first gale of prosperity will bend beneath the first blast of adversity. What is that which a person likes to have and to get rid of as soon as possi ble? A good appetite. Gratitude is a fruit of great cultiva tion. It is exceedingly rare among politicians and tramps. Matrimony is a great blessing, be cause even a blind man has his eyes opened after a little while. Some men are like oil poured on the troubled waters of life, and other men are like oil—the oil of vitrol. Who prolongs his work to as great a length as possible, and still com pletes it in time? The rope-maker. Correction does much, but encourage ment does more. Encouragement after censure is as the sun after a shower. The incapacity of men to understand each other is one of principal causes of their ill temper toward each other. Happiness is something to hope for and something to love. The bachelor if he owns a dog, has the first as well as the second. With love the heart becomes a fair and fertile garden, glowing with sun shine and warm hues, and exhaling sweet odors. “Love,” says a writer, “lightens the heart.” It has been known to have precisely the same effect upon the pocket-book. Men and women. A contrast—Men like to see themselves in print' Women are modest. Women like to see them selves in silk or velvet. “Don’t you think Miss Brown is a very sweet girl?” asked Henry. “Oh, yes, very sweet, replied Jane —“that is, she is well preserved. Every man is occasionally what he ought to be perpetually, and per con tra, perpetually, that which is only excusable occasionally. Let no one overload you with favors; you will find it an insufferable burden if yon should not unburden them as they come in and lay them by for a rainy day. General Sherman says he eats bean •oup every day when at home, if he can get it. The General is supposed to be smoothing the way for a statute of him self in Boston. “Is it injurious to eat before going to sleep?” asks a correspondent. Why, no, not fatally injurious; but you just try eating before you go to sleep if you want to see a circus. Anew work on etiquette says, “Soup must be eaten with a spoon.” Persons who are in the habit of eating soup with a fork or carving-knife will be slow to adopt such a newfanglel idea. “Well, old fellow, what are you doing now?” “Nothing; but I’ve a big scheme on foot. Lots of money in it.” "A-ah! What is it?” I’m going into a banking-house.” “After dark? I suppose.” Little Artie came running in the other day, exclaiming: “Ma, ma! I see suffin’ down here that sticked his head down in his mouf.” Investiga tion proved that he had found a mud turtle. Seventeen indictments have been found against a notorious counterfeiter. The punishment for each is fifteen years in prison, or two hundred and twenty-five years in all. His friends hope to get it reduced to for life. A young girl being asked recently, as she returned from the circulating library with the last new novel, if she had ever read Shakespeare, tossed her pretty head, and answered: “Shaks pear? Why, of course I have—l read that when it first came out.” It is stated by scientists that only the female mosquitoes bite. Now, we presume folks’ll be expected to offer no resistance, but let the skeats chaw away, on the principle that a fe male must be allowed to do as she chooses.
