Ipje j|ninter Republican. FOOD FOR THOUGHT. He who knows most, grieves most for wasted time. Small cheer and great welcome make a merry feast. Fortune does not change men; it only unmasks them. One hour of justice is worth seventy years of prayer Whilst you seek new friendshp, cul tivate the old. An idla man is like stagnant water, he corrupts himself. We count by changes and events within us. Not by years. Every man desires to live long, but no man would be old. The milestone of to-morrow leads to the town of “never.” True worth is summed up in the faithful discharge of duty. Avoid extravagant promises. State facts, and act up to them. Those whose courses are different can not lay plans for one another. Detestation of the high is the in voluntary homage of the low. The greater our dread for crosses the more necessary they are for us. A contemplative man can always employ himself in meditation. When a man is wrong, and won’t admit it, he always gets angry. Success leads to success. One point gained will continue to accomplish. Joy, and temperance, and repose, slam the door on the doctor’s nose. What matters if one has not gold in his purse, if he lias it in his heart- What sculpture is to a block of mar ble education is to a human soul. Hypocrisy is the cloak that little souls wear to conceal their meanness. Never strike a horse that is pulling its best, even if the progress is slow. To select well among old things is almost equal to inventing new ones. The doorstep to the temple of wisdom is a knowledge of our own ignorance. He who laughs at cruelty sots his heel on the neck of religion and godli ness. A man in any station can do his duty, and in doing it, can earn his own re spect. There cannot be a greater treachery than to raise a confidence, and then deceive it. Save something of what you earn. Youth and strength are not always our privileges. Be not over hasty in making a joar gain. Study first both the advantages and disadvantages. Make yourself an honest man ami you may be sure there is one rascal less in the world. We attract hearts by the qualities we display; we retain them by the qualities we possess. The idle man travels so slow that even poverty easily overtakes him at the first turn of the road. Reason from well-grounded prece dents, and be not too confident of a preconceived opinion. It’s enough for a man to understand his own business, and not to interfere with other people’s. To endeavor to work upon the vulgar with fine senses is like attempting to hew blocks with a razor. Watch for opportunities of useful ness. Every day brings them, and once gone they are gone forever. Self-denial is the most exalted pleas ure, and the conquest of evil habits is the most glorious triumph. In all true work there is something of divineness. Labor, wide as the earth, has its summit in heaven. A calm, quiet, orderly demeanor ac complishes more than a blistering tongue and an arrogant attitude. That kind of religion is likely to he most popular which does not seriously interfere with what you intend to do. Life is not so short but that there is always time enough for courtesy. Self command is the main elegance. How many people would be mute if they were forbidden to speak well of themselves and evil of others. Platonic love is like a march out in time of peace; there is much music and a good deal of dust, but no danger. A fool in high station is like a man in a balloon—everybody appears little to him, and he appears little to every body. It is easy enough to make sacrifices for those we love; but for our enemy, we have to struggle and overcome self. It is safer to affront some people than to oblige them; for the better a man de serves, the worse they will speak of liim. Life is a struggle from the cradle to the grave He is the better prepared for it who continually considers it in this light. The mind profits by the wreck of every passion, and we may measure our road to wisdom by the sorrows we have undergone. The son of an emir had red hair, of which he was ashamed, and wished to dye it, but his father said, “Nay, my son; better so live that fathers shall wish their sons had red hair.” When a man dies they who survive him ask what property he has left be hind. The angel who bends over the dying man asks what good deeds ho has sent before him. To think we are able is almost to he so; to determine upon attainment is frequently attainment itself. Thus ■earnest resolution has often seemed to have ah mt it a savor of omnipotence. “Employment, so certainlv produces eheevfn'"ew ” of 1 Bishop Hall nspd to *ay, “that I have known a naan to come home in nigh piriix from a funeral be cause he had had the management ef it.” .. ... ■ TO THOSE WISHING TO MAKE UP mum peek I HAVE MATERIALS OF ALL KIND IN ALL THE NEW STYLES, A pplique Figures for Table-Cov ers, Lambrequins, Tidies, Applique Silk Embroidery for Bannerettes, Pincushions, Watch Cases, Etc., Embroideried Slippers from 50c to $2.50, Slipper Cases, Perforated Panel Pictures for Embroidery, Plaques and Palettes for Painting.
