If you wish to keep your boy out of bau* company, make homo the pleasantest place for him. A woman should use the same care to retain the Bisections of her husband, that she used in s ecuring them. It looks as'if souk 1 people wero bwjn unlucky. If they Jrop a piece”* bread, the buttered siu'e >> sure b> he underneath. Tho richest people are n. M the hap piest. Don’t let your imaginatie ' n cloud your judgment. It is folly to commence climb. ' c £ a mountain until you reach its bast *• Don’t borrow; especially do i 10 borrow trouble. Pay as you go—if you can’t don’t g°- Compromise rather than go to law. Some people are too utterly good. If a man deceives you once, never give him an opportunity to do so the tecond time. The first time it is his fault; the second time it is yours. All sunsets cannot he golden. The woof and warp of life is strange ly mixed with good and evil. Never, purposely, wound the feel ings of another. Somo people should be judged by what they mean ; not by what they say. There, is room in oven the “narrow way,” to walk beside some one. Don’t go through life alone. Never ]>ry into the secrets of others. A gieat many people make a com fortable competency, by attending to heir own business. Try it. Do not betray confidence. Dou’t try and ram your opinions down the throals»others. Live so that people will sav when you are (lead, that the world is better for you, having lived in it. The sage who wrote : "Upon the tomb iBseen, Not what he wns; But what ho should have been,” hart it dowfa. pretty. fine. 1 ■ A young man who does not treat his. mother respectfully, and Ib not nt- tentiverto-his sisters, will not make a good husband. . The glitter of gold has blinded many a than to tho right. Bo honest with yourself. 10 childhood and youth is the time to niouM the mind. Stand up for tho right. Notwithstanding the glories of heaven, very few are willing to ex chnngo tho pleasures of earth for them. < A mother’s love knows no bounds. Midway between the extremes of riches an J poverty, is a happy medi um. The middle olasses are the lian piest. Some has said that ’tis "sweet to die for one’s country:” it is sweeter to live for it. “Give the dovil his due hut don’t give him any extra change. Bo economical, but not penurious A great mar.y people live and act as if they’expected to have pockets in their shrouds. It is better to give to an unworthy object, than to take the chances of re fusing to nid a worthy one. Dent sulk. The man’s heart was in the right place Who wrote: •Hero’s a sigh for those who lore me, And a tear for those who hate; And whatever skies above me, Hero’s a heart for every fate.” Sunday religion wont wash. It is said that every man 1ms his price: somo of them are very cheap. Never buy an article simply because it is cheap. God bears the silent prayer as read ily as the loud one. Mix your politics with religion, but not your religion with politics. A little learning is better than none at all. A man who expects to reap without sowing, will find, at harvest time, that his barn is empty; Health is wealth. Forgive the shortcomings of others. You mny not be perfect yourself. It is hard to regain character when once lost. Never say a smart thing at the expense of somebody. ‘Many people pass for more than they are worth, while others do not pass for as much as they arc worth. Look straight ahead. Lot’s wife got into trouble by looking back. Redeem-every promise made: re deem them atrone-hundred cents on tho dollar. i Accidentally Shot. Lucius Anderson, ajnegro youth of about fourteen years of age, met his death yesterday morning a few _ min utes before noon, while out hunting in company with another boy named Willie Hamilton. The killing was accidental, resulting no doubt through the carelessness of the boy himself. The only one present at the time of shooting was his companion, who says he was slightly in advance of Ander son, and did not see how the accident occurred. Ho heard the latter make some remark about adjusting some part of his clothing, and in a moment afterwards his gnn fired He turned to seo gasp him once or twice and ho was dead. Tho load had entered the stomach tanging up to the heart, which produced almost in stant death. The accident occurred on Carroll Hill, aud quite a crowd „ - ent out to see the body.

A young gentleman, whose birth day occurred yesterday, was offered as a souvenir of the day, a five dollar gold piece, or a rabbit’s foot. And it was the right kind of a rabbit’s foot, too; the rabbit having been killed in nn old grave yard, just as the last rays of the setting sun had kissed tho hill tops ‘’good night,” and sank inton sea of golden glory in the west. Well, he is carrying a $5 gold picco in his pocket to-day, and he may make a mistake and put it in the contrihu.ion box fora quarter ; and then he’ll wish ' he had selected the rabbit’s foot. Winter Flight of Birds. The aunual migration of winter birds coming South to escape the cold ot the North has already commenced, aud the appearance of the flight in al ways considered a sure sign that cold weather has come to stay.
