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.

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 Post. Thr foll-.w..,* extract Iroin a religious c >temp>>rary is well calculated to set folks to thinking, in view of hazy political atmos phere that surrounds us: “All the kingdoms of the world are in agitation and *oliiude. Revolution anarchy, threatens every one of them. Thera have been wars, and new ones are breeding There are mmal perturbations amnug men Suicides and al! manner ofcrimes and wrong doings are abounding beyond example Theae are fearful accidents by sea and by land.

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.
