FOOD FOB THOUGHT.
Silence does not always mark wis
dom.
Much danger makes great hearts
most resolute.
Discretion in speech is moro than
eloquence.
Heaven will permit no man to secure
happiness by crime.
Few advise how to make money,
many know how to spend it.
There is not so much danger in a
known foe as a suspected one.
There is always hope in a man that
actually and earnestly works.
The usual fortune or complaint is to
excite contempt more than pity.
The future destiny of the child is
always the work of the mother.
Many delight more in giving of pres
ents than in payjng their debts.
A good man is kinder to his enemy
than bad men are to their friends.
There are in business three things
necessary,—knowledge, temper, and
time.
The certain way to be cheated is'to
fancy one’s self moro cunning than
others.
I would desire for a friend the son
who never resisted the tears of his
mother.
You may depend upon it that he is a
good man whose intimate friends are
all good.
Comparison, more than reality makes
men happy, and can make them
wretched.
More helpful than all wisdom is one
draught of simple human pity that will
not forsake us.
Speaking much is a sign of vanity,
for he that is lavish in words is a nig
gard in deed.
How wise we are in thought! How
weak in practice! Our very virtue,
like our will, is—nothing.
The moment a man begins to rise
among his fellows, he becomes a mark
for their missiles.
To be able to bear provocation is an
argument of great wisdom; and to tor
give it, of great mind.
The highest luxury of which the
human mind is sensible is to call smiles
upon the face of misery.
He who receives a good turn should
never forget it; he who does one should
never remember it.
No liberal man would impute a
charge of unsteadiness to another fur
having changed his opinion.
The light of friendship is like the
light of phosporus,—seen plainest
when all around is dark.
True friends visit us in prosperity
only when invited, but in adversi.y
they come without invitation.
To have respect for ourselves guides
our morals, and to have a deference
for others governs our manners.
Men are born with two eyes, but
with one tongue, in order that they
should see twice as much as they say.
Poor and content is rich, and rich
enough; but riches, fineless, is as poor
as winter to him that ever fears he shall
be poor.
In the affairs of life activity is to be
preferred to dignity, and practical ener
gy and despatch to premeditated com
posure and reserve.
Duty is a power which rises with us
in the morning and goes to bed with us
at night. It is co-extensive with the
action of our intelligence.
The primary use of knowledge is for
such guidance of conduct in all circum
stances as shall make living complete.
All other uses of knowledge are sec
ondary.
Everyone in this world has his or her
share of tioubles and trials. Let us,
then, try as much as we are able not to
increase the burden of any by as much
as the weight of a straw.
It is no disgrace not to be able to do
everything; but to undertake, or pre
tend to do, what you are not made for,
is not only shameful, but extremely
troublesome and vexatious.
Let a man have a fervent love for
what is pure and just and honorable,
let him have a cordial abhorrence of
what is sensual, mean, tricky, and un
generous, and he will not go far from
wrong.
What we call miracles and wonders
of art are not so to him who created
them; for they were created by the nat
ural movements of his own groat soul.
Statutes, paintings, churches, poems,
are but shadows of himself.
If thou art rich, then show the great
ness of thy fortune, or what is better,
the greatness of thy soul, in the meek
ness of thy conversation; condescend
to men of low estate, support the dis
tressed and pationize the neglected.
Be great.
What Tully says of war may be ap
plied to disputing, it should always be
so managed as to remember that the
only true end of it is peace; but gener
ally true disputants are like true
sportsmen, their whole delight is in
the pursuit; and a disputant no more
cares for the truth than the sportsmen
for the hare.
Every man feels instinctively that
all the beautiful sentiments in the
worl 1 weigh less than a single lovely
action, and that, while tenderness of
feeling and susceptibility to generous
emotions are accidents of temperament,
goodness is an achievement of the will
and a quality of life.

all disorders caused by a thin and impover

expelling the blood-poisons from the system,
enriching and renewing the Mood, and re
storing its vitalizing power.
During a long period of unparalleled use

its perfect adaptation to the cure of all dis
eases originating in poor Mood and weakened
vitality. It is a highly concentrated ex
tract of Sarsaparilla and other blood

most reliable, and most economical Mood
purifier and blood-food that can be used.
Inflammatory Rheumatism Cured.
"•\yi:k's Sausa iv\ ki i.i.a has cured me of
the Inflammatory Khcumatism, with which

\v. ii. Moore.”
Durham, la., March 2, 1882.
•• Kiglit years ago I had an attack of
Rheumatism so severe that I could not
move from the hod, or dress, without help.
1 tried several remedies without much if
any relief, until I took Ayer’s Sahsafa
-1(11.1,a. by the use of two bottles of which I
was completely cured. 1 have not been
troubled with the Rheumatism since.
Have sold large quantities of vour
Sarsaiwuii.i.a, and it still retains* its
wonderful popularity. The many notable
cures it has effected in this vicinity con
vince me that it is the best bloqjd medicine
ever offered to the public.

ltivcr St., Duck land, Mass., May 13,1882.
“ Last March 1 was so weak from gener
al debility that I could not walk without
help. Following the advice of a friend, I
commenced taking Ayer’s Sarsai’AßH.la,
and before I had used three bottles 1 felt
as well as I ever did in my life. I have
been at work now for two months, and
think your Sarsaparilla the greatest
blood medicine in the world.

Ayer’s Sarsaparilla cures Scrofula
and all Scrofulous Complaints, Erysip

Sores, Boils, Tumors, and Eruptions of
the Skin. It clears the blood of till impuri
ties, aids digestion, stimulates the action of

A DOMESTIC SCENE
BETWEEN
Mr. and Mrs. John Smith.
Mrs. Smith —Now, John Smith, what on earth ! Didn’t I tell you to go to
JOHN R. SHAW’S and get these goods, and here you have gone some
where else and spent OUR hard-earned dollars, and haven’t got much more than
half their value. Why didn’t you do as I told you ?
Smith —Why—er—why—my dear, you see I thought he had his store torn
up so, that lie was paying no attention to getting in new goods, and
Mrs. S. — John Smith, you know that is not so, for I know I told you
yesterday that I had seen Mrs. Jones, who had been to John R. Shaw’s and got
EVERYTHING she wanted, and she told me his store was overflowing
with NEW Goods of the latest designs, and you know as well as I do, that a
man of Shaw’s business capacity and push, would be found in the lead ot ‘‘the
Procession,” with the best and prettiest styles in everything. You know also
that I told you lie had turned his attention exclusively to DRY GOODS
(Fancy and Staple), NOTiOMS, CLOTHING, BOOTS,
SHOES, HATS, CAPS, UMBRELLAS, PARASOLS, and
all articles kept in a first-class Dry Goods Store, and if you had
gone there you could have got just what I sent you for, and at much less than
what you have paid for these things you have brought home. No, lam well
aware how it all happened. You let some slick-tongue chap get hold of you
and pour about a pint of “Corn Juice” down that old dry throat of yours, and
then you were ready to believe anything he said. I reckon he made you believe
this stuff here to be “all wool and a yard wide,” when its only seven-eighths, and
half cotton at that, and no style about it.
Smith —Well, my dear, don’t be so hard on me this time. I acknowledge
the Corn, and I promise you that I will not go counter to your advice again, for
I am now convinced that I have missed some good bargains by not listening
to you.
• Mrs. S.—Now, you begin to talk sense, and I wish you had heeded my
words when you started out to buy—but I won’t scold you any more. Only
now be sure you listen to the old woman next time, for I tell you she has made
some of the best trades at John R. Shaw’s she ever made in her life.
[Smith retires, fully convinced that HIS Mrs. Smith is a woman of decided
energy and superior judgment .]
And now, kind friends, we trust you will follow the good advice given by
Mrs. Smith to her better half, and call and he convinced that we can give you
BETTER BARGAINS
than you can obtain elsewhere.
COME ONE, COME ALL,
THE OLD, THE YOUNG, THE SHORT, THE TALL,
THE RICH, THE POOR, WE PLEASE THEM ALL;
