wealth. It you do, you will become un
steady.
D » not let a pure thing slide, and te fooled
with promises which have nothing certain
to hbek them.
I here are plenty of chances open for you
to be uned to suit the selfish purposes «,f
other people without gaining anything
yourself.
All sorts of sharp games are afloat, in
what is called legitimate “business,” for
coming it over anybody who is not up to
snuff.
I his is a free use of slang, hut slang is
expressive, especially to those who are in
the constat.t habit of hearing and using it.
It y* u want to help a blacksmith shoe
half a dozen horses, you must use black
smiths’ too s
lie would not give two cents for the help
ot a dandy, kid-gloved chap, who under
takes to whittle and >wn a horse’s hoof with a
penknife, and lasien on a shoe with a tack
ham mer.
A blacksmith wants a man who can
buckle iu and do hard woik with rough
t ...Is.
That kind of business he likes and un
der-rands.
II you do good by talkirg, it all depends
uron whether you talk to benefit somebody,
or whether you only desire to appear suiarr
with high-fl .wn, empty words.
It is one thing to enter a parlor, and, with
polished grace of word and manner, make
an impression upon fashionable peop e
It is quite anorher thing to cheer the
hearts of working people, and brighten the
homes of the poor.
Here c .mplirnents are below par, and
high flown words as light as thistle-down
on a brisk bre* ze.
Off with vour dainty kids, and your
meaningless quirks and simpers.
These people have no time to waste.
If you have anything to say speak out
like a man.
It you want to be understood, do not talk
a dead language.
Here affectation is not in vogue.
Those w ho make no pretences, nor aspire
to fifty position, have no need to appear to
he what they are not.
But there are truer hearts ard warmer
hearing under Working dresses and woolen
sktr**, than under fine linen, velvet and
diamonds.
into those hearts let these words seek
and find responsive echoes. Think for

we should not be on friendly terms ” And
so they went into a convenient jew’eler’s.

Married Without Knowing It—A Mr.
Thomas Cooper, an Eoglishniao, ha* pub
li-hed un account of travels in Thibet,
which he visited disguised as a Clrinaman
Anv>ii£ hia *toi ie* is thp following :
He wa* just halting for breakfast, after
leaving the Thibetan town of Bithing.
when a group of girls, gayly dressed, and
(1 eked v\itli garlands of fl wers, came nut
of a grove and surrounded h<m, some of
them holding his mu.e, while others assist
ed him to alight lie was then led into the
grove, where he found a least prepar
ed ; and alter be had e:iien and smoked
bis pipe, the girls came up to him again,
“pulling along, in their rrid*t, a pretty girl
of sixteen, attired in a silkdre-s and adorn
ed w i h garlands of fl wers I had already
noticid.” Mr. C. continues, “this girl sit
ting apart from the others during the meal,
ami was very much astonished when she
was reluctant ly dragged up to me and made
to t-eat herseit by my side ; and mv aston
ishment was considerably heightened when
the rest ol the girls began to dance around
us in a circle, singing arid throwing their
garlands over myself and my companion.
The meaning of this performance was,
however, soon made clear to Mr. Cooper.
lle had been married without knowing it !
At first he tried to escape li tbiliry entailed
upon him ; but such an outcry was made
by the people around that he has forced to
Carry «ffhi - bribe. He managed to get rid
of her be ore very long by transferring her
to one ot her relations ; hut even that w.ts
not treared an a disolutmn of the m rriage.
On bis way back he was j tim'd one day by
a Thibetan dame of about thirty years old,
who announced herself as his wile’s moth
er, and said she had come, with the consent
< f her husband, to supply her daughter’s
place. We can well imagine Mr. Cooper’s
surprise at meeting with this novel proposal
on the part of his mother-in-law.
Adventure with a Rattlesnake —lt
was state i in this paper last w.-ek that a
Citizen of Polk county, named Paul Paiks.
had been bitten by a large ratthsnake. L
seems Mr. Parks was hunting cattle, and
had ascended some distance up the moun
tain, when he came upon the snake so sud
denly that lie did not see it until it was in
the act of striking and there was no chance
to retreat or to avoid toe bb w. He was
struck in the leg with both fangs, a few
inches above the ankle joint. He made an
eff rt t* kill his enemy, but the venom cir
culated so rapidly that iu a few seconds he
became sick and dizzy and turned away
♦ rotn the place. After proceeding a short
distance partial blindness and extreme
nausea and dizz ness ensued, be selecting
as level a place *is he could, the poor fellow
stretched himself upon the ground, as he
thought, to die, helpless and alone, almost
within sight of his humble homo. But re
viving a little in a few minutes, he deter
mined to make another eff >rt and being
unable to stand erect and walk, he com
menced rolling himsplf down the mountain
and succeeded in reaching a spot near the
“big road,” where his cries and moans at
tracted the attention of a passing neighbor,
who went to his assistance. A vehicle was
procured and the unfortunate man was con
veyed to his home —but before reaching
there he had become blind and speechles
and his tongue was protruding lrorn his
mouth. At last accounts Parks was still
rt'ive. and some faint hopes were entertained
of h s recovery. He told the neighbor who
first reached him that the snake was much
the laigest he had ever seen, being, a* he
expressed it, “as big a* my leg.” —Athens

Fifteen Great Mistakes.—lt is a greai
mistake to set up our own standard of th#
fight arid «r >ng and judge people acoord
i «glj. It is a great mistake to measure th#
enjoyment of others by our own; to expect
u iformity *»f opinion in this world ; to
1 n»k for judgment and experience in youth ;
to endeavor to mould all dispositions alike ;
not to yield in material trifles; to look for
perfection in our own actions; to worry
ourselves ana others with what cannot be
remedied ; not to alleviate all that needs
alleviation, as far a« lies in our power ; not
to make allowance tor the infirmities of
others; to consider everything impossible
which we cannot perforin; to believe only
what i ur finite minds can grasp; to expect
to be able to understand everything. The
greatest of all mistakes is to live only for
time when any moment may lauuoh us
into eternity.
