j|ttmter Republican. ■ - 1 FOOD FOB THOUGHT. Join hands with the virtuous. The truly generous is the truly wise. Silence does not always mark wis dom. It is impious in a gool man to be sad. The last drop makes the cup run over. Ere fancy you consult, consult your pqrse. A smooth sea never made a skilful mariner. Injure not another’s reputation or business. Learning makes a man fit company for himself. Without the rich heart, wealth is an ugly beggar. Engage in argument with e very per son you meet. Care for what you say, or what you say will make you care. The greatest truths are the simplest; so ate the greatest men. Our dead are never dead to us until we have forgotten them. Think wrongly if yon please, but in all cases think for yourself. True art, like love, excludes all com petition and absorbs the man. Hold on to your hand when you are about to do an improper thing. Jealousy is the sentiment of property, but envy is the instinct of theft. When a man’s upper story is empty his mouth will advertise the fact. Think not a petty goodness of to-day may blot cut the sin of yesterday. The world does not require so much to be informed as to be reminded. Flattery is like your shadow; it makes you either larger or smaller. It requires a strong, good man to say, “I was mistaken and am sorry.’, Ho is the happiest, be he king or peasant, who fiqds peace in his home Falsehood and fraud Bhoot up in every soul, the product of all climes. Suffering itself does not less afflict the senses than the fear of suffering. In memory’s mellowed light we be hold not the throne; we see only the flowers. Recreation is only valuable as it un bends us; the idle can know nothing of it! Experience is the trophy composed of all the weapons we have been wounded with. Cast your nets in the right water, and they may take fish while you are sleep ing. Never listen to other people, for if yon do, you may forget what to say yourself. The defects of the understanding, like those of the face, grow worse aB we grow old. Get your money ready before getting out of an omnibus, and—before going into law. Asa sandy hill is to the feet of the aged, so is a woman of many words to a quiet man. One who is never busy can never en joy rest, for rest implies relief from pre vious labor. Don’t scowl; it spoils faces. Before you know it your head will resemble a small railroad map. Every day a little helpfulness. We live for the good of others, if our living be in any sense true living. If our whole time was spent in amus ing ourselves, we should find it more wearisome than the hardest day’s work. If a person makes a mistake in gram mar, or calls a word wrong, always cor rect him, especially if there be several persons around to hear you. It is not in great deeds of kindness only that the blessing is found. In “little deeds of happiness,” repeated every day, we find true happiness, More hearts pine away in secret an guish lrom the want of kindness from those who should be their comtort than from any other calamities in life. We gain nothing by being with snch as ourselves. Weencourage oneanother in mediocrity. lam always longing to be with men more excellent than my self. This life is not ordained in vain; it is constituted for a grand purpose; if through its lessons of experience we become convinced that this life is not all. Always talk of your private, personal and family matters while conversing with strangers. They like to listen to long accounts of how you had the rheu matism. It is the habitual thought that frames itself into onr life. Our confidential friends have not as much to do in shap ing onr lives as the thoughts which we harbor. Every heavy burden of sorrow seems like a stone hung around our neck, yet they are often like the stone used by the pearl divers, which enable them to reach the prize and rise enriched. An honest reputation is within the reach of all men; yet they obtain it by social virtues and doing their duty. This kind of reputation, but it is often the most useful for happiness. God has made no one absolute. The rich depend on the poor, as well as the poor on the rich. The world is but a mere magnificent building;all the stones are gradually cementing together.. There is no one who subsists by himself alone. The love of display which results in vulgar ostentation is the resalt of selfish ness, of a desire to excite the envy of others rather than the wish to share benefits with them—an effort to appear great withont striving to be great in reality. This is meant for you, call and settle your account, at Dr. Eldridge’s Drug Store. Who Pays for the Hog. Last Week a distinguished citizen of Columbus went down to his plan tation near Hurtsboro, on the Mobile and Girard railroad. On bis arrival he found that two of his negro tenants were involved in a difficulty that was liable to lead to serions results. Both came to him with their grievances, and finally agreed to leave the matter with him. Dick said that he had lost a hog, and was satisfied that Jake had stolen it, but when he asked him about it Jake had knocked him down. Jake said that Dick had accused him of hog stealing, and no man could thus slander him. After listening to both sides the judge, pro tem., decided that the blow offset the slander, and the slander set off the blow, therefore they were both even. Jake went his way rejoicing to the cotton patch but Dick stilb lingered around, when the judge asked him if he was satisfied with the decision. “Yes, sir, dat all sounds mighty nice, and I reckon dat’s jestice,” said he scratching his bead. “But boss, who gwine to pay for dat hog?” Looking through the window the wise judge could see his vast fields, white with the fleecy staple, locks of which every passing breeze dislodged and in wanton mischief rolled in the dirt, and in mind he calculated the loss he would sustain by a continnation of this fued between two of his best hands and their families, and with a. long drawn sigh he exclaimed; •‘Why, the judge, of course.” He at once paid for the missing pork er, and Dick also shouldered his basket and started for the cotton patch. But imagine the ebagrine of the judge when he heard him mutter as he turned the corner of the house; “Wonder if de boss got dat bog.”— Ex. One of The Bight Sort Detroit Free Press. A Detroiter who was out in the country the other day to look after some poultry, got stuck in a mudhole, al though having a light buggy and a strong horse. He got out, took a rail off the fence, and was trying to pry the vehicle out when a strapping young woman, about 26 years of age, came along. She halted, surveying the sit uation, and said: “You stand by the horse while I heave on the rail, and don’t be afraid of getting mud on your hands and boots.” Their united efforts released the ve hicle, and the Detroiter returned thanks and asked her to get up and ride. She hesitated, looked up and down the road, and finally said: “Stranger, I’m blunt spoken. Who are you.” He gave his name and residence, and she continued: “I’m over 25, worth SSOO in cash, know all about house work, and this is leap year.” “ Yes, I know; but for heaven’s sake don’t ask me to marry you!” he repli ed, as he saw the drift. “See here,” she continued, looking him square in the eye, “I’m a straight girl, wear a No. 7 shoe and I like the looks of you.” “Yes, but don’t—don’t talk that way to me!” “Stranger," it’s leap year, and I’m going to pop! Will you have me or not?” “I—l’m—ready married,” lie fal tered. “Honest Injun?” “Yes.” “Well, that settles me, and I won’t ride. I’ll take a cut across the field over to old Spooner’s. He’s got four sons and a fool nephew, and I’ll begin on the old man and pop the crowd clear down to the idiot, for I’ve slummixed around tie world just as long as I’m going to. Good-by, sir; no harm done.” Mb. \V. H. Barrett, Augusta, Ga.: Dear Sir—l can cheerfully recom mend your GILDER PILLS as the best Blood Purifier I have ever used.
