FOOD FOR THOUGHT.
Affliction, like the ironsmith, shapes
as it smites.
Hope is the brightest star in the fir
mament of yonth.
Every man esteems his own misfor
tune the greatest.
If yon would create something, you
must be something.
The Bible without the Spirit is a sun
dial by moonlight.
It is opinion that wins battles, and it
is opinion that loses them.
He who throws out suspicion should
at once be suspected himself.
A cheerful face is nearly as good for
an invalid as healthy weather.
Many delight more in giving of pres
ents than in paying their debts.
Drudgery may occupy the hands;
only noble service goes from the heart.
We never deceive for a good purpose.
Knavery adds malice to falsehood.
Our actions must clothe us with an
immortality loathsome or glorious.
Whatever is becoming is honest, and
whatever is honest must always be be
coming.
Good is never more effectually per
formed than when it is produced by
slow degrees.
What is defeat? Nothing but educa
tion; nothing but the first step of some
thing better.
The history of all the world teaches
us that immoral means will ever inter
cept good ends.
I was never afraid of failure, for I
would sooner fail than not be among
the greatest.
He who knows most, grieve* most
for wasted time.
We seldom find people ungrateful so
long as we are in a condition to render
them service.
Let friendship creep gently to a
height; if it rush to it it may soon run
itself out of breath.
The quality of books in a library is
often a cloud of witnesses of the ignor
ance of the owner.
Envy is a passion so full of cowardice
and shame that nobody ever had the
confidence to own it.
All other knowledge is hurtful to
him who has not the confidence of hon
esty and good nature.
To educate a child perfectly' requires
profounder thought, greater wisdom
than to govern a state.
As soon as we divorce love from the
occupations of life we find that labor
degenerates into drudgery.
Fully to understand a grand a beau
tiful thought requires, perhaps, as
much time as to conceive it.
Fate is the friend of the good, the
guide of the wise, the tyrant of the
foolish the enemy of the bad.
The best part of our knowledge is
that which teaches us where knowledge
leaves off and where it begins.
The religious observations of the
Lord’s day may legitimately be regarded
as essential to the Christian life.
Humility does not make ns servile

We agree before God and each other,
that the freely expressed will of the
majority shall be the law of all, which

If the internal griefs of every man
could be read, written on his forehead,
how many who now excite envy would
appear to be the objects of pity.
Even if work was the sole aim and
end of life, it would be folly to neglect
relaxation, for no labor can be efficient
ly and permanently carried on without
it.
I am very sure that any man of com
mon understanding may, by culture,
care, attention and labor, make him
self whatever he pleases except a great
poet.
He who cheats the man that confides
in him, in a witty manner, makes ns
laugh at his jest, and half disarms our
anger; but reflection insures him our
contempt and indignation.
Carry yourself respectfully towards
your superiors, friendly towaris your
equals, condescendingly towards your
inferiors, generously towards your ene
mies, and lovingly towards all.
Alas! we know that ideals can never
be completely embodied in practice.
Ideals must ever lie a great way off—
and we will thankfully content our
selves with any not intolerable approxi
mation thereto.
She who makes her husband and her
ehildren happy, who reclaims the one
vice, and trains up the other to virtue,
is a much greater character than ladies
described in romance, whobe whole oc
cupation is to murder mankind with
lhaft6 from th* quiver of their eyes.
It is common talk about the work of
the school in making good citizens.
The school can aid in this work, but
the homes of a country, far more than
its schools, determine the character of
its citizens. It is in the home that
the foundations of character are laid.
There are problems of life beyond
the power of man to exhaust, and in
that certainty of uncertainty it is our
privilege to rest. The human mind
may and ought to repose as calmly be
fore a confessed and unconquerable diffi
culty as before a confessed and discov
ered truth.
If there were no enemy, there could
be no conflict; were there no trouble,
there could be no faith; were there no
trial, there would be no love; were there
no fear, there copld be no hope. Hope,
faith and love are weapons, and weap
ons imply foes and encounters; and re
lying on my weapon I will glory in my
sufferings.

A DOMESTIC SCENE
BETWEEN 1
Mr. and Mrs. John Smith.
Mns. 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-t amed 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 he 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 1 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 oi “the
Procession,” with the best and prettiest styles in everything. You know also
that I told you he had turned his attention exclusively to DRY GOODS
(Fancy and Staple), NOTIONS, CLOTHING, BOOTS,
SHOES, HATS, CAPS, UMBRELLAS, PARASOLS, and
all articles kept in a first-class Dry Goods Store, and if yon had
gone there you could have got just what I sent yon 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 yon were ready to believe anything he said. I reckon he made you believe
this stuff here to he “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 he 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 yon.
Mns. S.—Now, you begin to talk sense, and I wish you had heeded my
words when you started out to buy—hut I won’t scold you any more. Only
now be sure you listen to tho old woman next time, for I tell yon 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 superidr judgment .]
And now, kind friends, we trust yon will follow the good advice given by
Mrs. Smith to her better half, and call and be convinced that we can give you
—BETTER BARGAINS
than you can obtain elsewhere.
