Like Milton’s tifseription of th* dev
il’s prfttfiradiif 1 tit, the Radical’s can
truly say ; “Which way I turn is hell
—myself am ! ell.’’
In place of saving things tit make
peojde stare-tmi border, lay whalwi!)
keep llie*in from staring ami wondering
hereafter ; this is philosophy.
To economise is to draw in as much
as possible. The ladies apply this
art to iheius'dves, and the result is a
very small waist.
Lawyer ; “The coat's too lonf, the
waistcoat’s to **>na ; iti fact, li e entire
suit’s 100 long.” Tailor ; “Dear me,
sir, I’m very sorry ; but the fact is, I—
t thought gentlemen of y'dllf profes
sion preterred long suits.”
Peevishness may he considered the
canker of life, that destroys its vigor
and checks its improvement—that
rret ps on with hourly depredations
laints and vitiates what it cannot con
sume.—John Soil.

Grudges the porif tin If scanty dole :

It lias been thought that people are
degenerating beeausethey don’t live as
long as in the days of Methuselah.—
But nobody can aflord to live at the
current prices.
A cautious tfld bachelor, who knows
that the present is leap year, say* :
“If you meet a young lady who is not
very shy, you had better he a little shy
\ ourself.”
For several weeks an exchange kept
the following conspicuously at the
head of its local column : “A boy
wanted at ibis office.” A few days
since t lie editor’s wife presented him
with “a boy,” which, in a highly sig
nificant manner, shows the value of
advertising.
A man who will stab at another’s
reputation by insinuation a a inuendo
is far worse than a thief. Goods you
may replace, but character, once los\,
i? almost irredeemable, and, as a great
writer has said, a word is enough to
ruin a man.
“My dear,” Said a smiling Spouse
to her half, “I’m going a shopping to
day, and want a little cliJllge.’’
“Pooh 1” responded ihe savage, “that
would he no Change at all | you co
shopping every day.”
In good society we are required to
do oblingitig tilings to one another;
in general society we are required on*
ly to say them.
Idleness is hard work to those who
are not used to it, and dull work to
those who are.
