spje |>mnttr Republican. FOOD FOB THOUGHT. The cobbler’s wife is badly shod. He doeth much that loveth much. Humor is the harmony of the heart. Better out of the fashion than out of credit. Leave off no clothes until you see a June rose. Better go round about than fall into the ditch. No one knows the weight of another’s burden. That man lives twice who lives the first life well. Poetry comes nearer the vital truth than'history. Wisdom is to the soul what health is to the body. The ruses of won en multiply with their years. Do not ride till you are ready, or you may fall off. Much learning shows how little mor tals know. The dignity of truth is lost with much protesting. To see what is right and not to do it is want of courage. Trifles make perfection, but perfection itself is not a trifle. Better a Diamond with a flaw than a pebble without. People’s intentions can only be deci ded by their conduct. Purity of nature is a kind of genius, and the highest. Honors come by diligence; riches spring from economy. All philosiphy lies in two words, “sustain” and “abstain.” Present evils always seem greater than those that never come. Reason is the test of ridicule- —not Tidicule the test of truth. One forgives everything to him who forgieves himself nothing. The path of duty in this world is the road to salvation in the next. Recollection is the only paradise from which we cannot be turned out. We prize books, and they prize them most who are themselves wise. The proof of a strong will is graceful surrender on proper occasions. Wounds of the heart are the only ones that are healed by opening. Half the ills we hoard in our hearts are ills because we hoard them. No man is more miserable than he that hath no adversity. An effort made for the comfort of others lifts us above ourselves. The best way to silence talkative persons is never to interrupt them. The means to promote any end areas necessary as the end to be protected. We owe to man higher succors than food and fire. We owe to man man. The best medicines in the world are warmth, rest, cleanliness and pure air. Trees in the forest may be barren, but trees in the garden should be fruit ful. Vanity and despondency are two councellors whose suggestions are never wise. We might as well have no oppor tunity as not to use the one that we have. The folly of others is ever most ri diculous to those who are themselves most foolish. Conversation enriches the under standing, but solitude is the school of genius. The moment a man is satisfied with himself everybody else is dissatisfied with him. Great men should think of opportu nity and not of time. Time is the ex cuse of feeble and puzzled spirits. Envy is a passion so full of cowardice and shame that nobody has the confi dence to own its possession. In a crowd the average individual is small, and the purpose of parties is to take advantage of this fact. If you are a professional man, always discuss professional matters in the pres ence of non-professionals. The law cannot supply brains for fools, and those who attempt it are the ones who hope to profit by it. Is there ever a hard question in mor als that children do not drive stiaight at in their wide-eyed questioning? Justiceexists independent of the law, and no statue can modify its princi ples, although it may effect its attain ment. A rogue alive to the ridiculous is still convertible. If that sense is lost, his fellow-man can do little for him. Never lose faith in humanity. If there ever was a good man, be certain there was another, and there will be more. It is strange that, of all possible tasks, simply to be what what we are should prove not the easiest, but ing nitely the hardest. He is happy whose circumstances suit his temper; but he is more fortu nate who can suit his temper to any circumstances. Platonic love is like a march out in time of peace; there is much music and a good deal of dust, but no danger. Woman-How Shall slie Preserve lier Health and Beauty. One who has long investigated this subject gives the result, and is happy to say it is round in “Woman’s Best Friend.” It is adapted especially to that great central, ail controlling; organ, the womb, correcting its disorders, ana curing any irregularity o f the “menses’* or “courses. ’ Dr. J. Bradfield’s Female Regulator acts like a charm in whites and in sudaen or gradual checking, or in en tire stoppage of the “monthly courses,” from cold, mental trouble, or like causes, by re storing the natural discharge In every in stance. In chronic cases, so often resulting in ulceration, falling of the womb, its action Is prompt and decisive, saving the constitu tion from numberless evils and premature decay. Prepared by Dr. J. Bradfield, Atlanta, Ga. Price: trial size, 75 cents; large slsefl.SO. For sale by all druggists. FOR SALE.
