TRIBE TEN TO WOMAN.
[setiAL.]
11 is because women have greater
hlct than men that they prove the
most iiithientaal teacher-. Thev have
mere self-restraint than men and are
naturally mor? gracious and polite,
ill* matter- of social detail, aptness
imid dexterity come to them like na- '
Jure, and hence well-mannered men I
i usually receive thedr best etiliune by
mixing in the society of oentle and I
: adroit women.—Samuel Smiles.
[personal.]
W e cannot conceive uoptan as -dis
tinct. di-iant, mirejated; she seems so
personal, concrete, so near: vet we (
can never ijtiite come up to her dis
'eernments. nor ttiinsay their delicacy i

love and fate; a romance ever atta. h-
I in.r itself to her name and destiny.-
A. B. Ali-ott.
[F ANCIFV-1 •]
Women are such strange erenttircs !
Ils there any trick that Jove and their
j own ■•fancies do not play them? Just
i-ee how they marry ! A woman that

1 Vi hen the people talk of woman’s
' claims at.<l woimm’s rigtits I think of
•the loui'.it.u cuts nt former days. If

the meed of praise from them that

|Mll<TllflL.|
I sec how it is. Woman is now su
preme in the house. She will gradu
jaily control everything. Woman is
■one of the ablest, and most etmtiing
I ( features who have ever mingled in
I human affairs. I understand those
who say they don’t want the ballot.
. They want the power without the re
| spoi.sjbility :so while we are being
| amused with the ballot, woman is
iquietly taking things into her own
lit t,ds.—l). Warner.
|tiiotgiitffl.]
Love in woman is no trifling emo
tion. On its joyous sub it seeks affin
ity with every phase of nature that is
gladsome and of promise. When one
thoughtfully considers the part, which
love has in the destiny and character
of woman, the issues that come out of
it for weal or misery, her ruin or per
[feetion. nothing is more pathetic, and
j death itself is not more solemn.—Hen
ry Giles.
[GELTGItTFI'L.]
One df the finest compliments ever
paid to woman was that of Steele,
when he said Io Lady Hastings, “that
to have loved her was a liberal educa- j
tion.” Vi*‘wed in this light, woman i
is an educator in the highest sense,
because she educates humanely and
lovingly.
Many think themselves to be truly 1
God-fearing when they call this world j
a valley of tears. But 1 believe thev
would be more so, if they called it a
happy valley. God is more pleased
with those who think everything right
in the world, than with those who
think nothing right. AVith so many
thousand joys, is it not black ingrati
tude so call the world a place of sor
row and torment ?
If thou canst not obtain a kindness
which thou desirest, put a good face
on it—show no discontent or surli
ness—an hour may come when thy
request may be granted.
Has it ever occurred to us when
surrounded by sorrows, that they
may be sent to us only for our in
struction, as we darken the cages of
birds when we wish them to sing?

AV e call the prophets the. penmen

The woman was not mgde out of

out of his side to be equal with him,
under his arm to be protected, and
near his heart to be beloved.

Learn to entwine with your prayers
the small cares, the trifling sorrows,
the little wants of daily life. AVhat
< ver affects you -be it a. changed look,
an altered tone, an unkind word, a
wrong, a wound, a demand you can
rot meet, a change you cannot no
tice, a sorrow you cannot disclose—
t irn it into prayer, and send it up to
God. Disclosures you :may not, make
to man you can make, to the Lord,
i Man may be too little for your great
I Matters: God is not too great for your
Ismail ones. Only give yourself to
I jrayer, whatever be. the occasion that
mils for it.
This is what Robert (>. Ingersoll
says of women: “I tell you women
are more prudent than men—ten
I times as faithful as men. I never
I saw a man pursue his wife into the
ditch and dust of degradation, and I
take her in his arms. I never saw a !
man stand at the shore where she had
heen morally wrecked waiting for the
waves to bring even tier corpse to his
arms; but I have seen woman, with
her white arms, lift man from the |
mire of degradation, and hold him to i
her bosom as though he were an
angel.”

The slanderer injures three persons
at once—him of whom he speaks illj;
him to whom he says it, and most of
all, himself in saying it.
We can in no way assimilate our
selves so much with the benign dis

contributing to the health, comfort
and happiness of our fellow creatures

Don’t turn up your nose at 11 lit

Don’t boast of your pedigree. Many

Don't put on airs in your new

Some of the newspapers publish a
'useful domestic receipe’ every week.
The other day, in place of the recipe,
one of the papers published the fol
lowing notice : “We sincerely trust
that our readers will forgive us. Last
week, in giving a recipe for the chil
blains, we, inadvertently stated that
the remedy was to be taken internal
ly. It is. on the contrary, for exter
' mil use. AVe hope that Providence
has restrained the bauds of our much
beloved subscribers, for every one
that drank of this compound is dead I
by this lime. AVe present ill advance
our condolence to the beveaved fami
lies.”
The London Times says : “If the
affairs of the world were brought to a
sudden close at this moment, it would
be a curious matter of speculation
how many people would be even with
their work. One ingenious person
did, we believe, attempt such an esti
mate; and his conviction was that,
taking into account the few cases of
superhuman excellence in which peo
ple would be in advance, we should,
on an average, be found to be a quar
ter of a year behind hand all .round,
alike in work and in income.”
Good actions avail nothing, if the
soul be unrenewed. You may stick
i ligs, or hang clusters of grapes upon
] a thorn bush, but they cannot grow
upon it.
Sincerity is speaking as we think,
I believing as we pretend, acting as we
i profess, performing as we ] romise,
I and being as we appear.
It was an American who said: “We
use two stones to grind the flour of
liberty. The lower is the school, the
upper one is the, Bible.”
Never be sorry for any generous
thing that you ever did, even if it was
betrayed. You cannot afford to keep
on the safe side of being mean.
Commend a fool for his wit, or a i
knave for his honesty, and they will I
receive you into their bosom.

There’s many a man hns-beeirdnied
out of his religion and his politics, and
Ids manhood, almost.
Minds of only moderate calibre
ordinarily condemn everything that
is beyond their range.
It is better to do the least thing for
(he world than to regard a single half
hour as unimportant.
The sublimity of wisdom is to do
those things while living which are to
be desired when dying.
Do not wait for extraordinary cir
cumstances to do good actions ; try to
use ordinary situations.
He who thinks too much of himself
will-be in danger of being forgotten
by the rest of the world.
Genius is genius still shining by its
own light, be it like a star in the sky
I or a glow worm on the sward.
God might as well have slaves as
sons,.if the essence of worship con
sisted in mere outward obedience.
Man passes his life in reasoning on
the past, in complaining of the pre
sent, and trembling for the future.
The wealth of a man is the numb* r
df things which he loves and blesses,,
which he is loved and blessed by.
XVhen charity walks into the low -t
places of want, we see the beautifi-l
purity of her robes most distinctly.
We could not endure solitude were
