Let us lc:rn to npptveiate nml value at their true price tlie little blessings that come to us daily.

A man's thumb is a small thing, but when wants to drive a nail it covers more sur face than a lions . There are men who love only themselves: and these are men of hatred, for to love one's self alone is to hate others. The thief who stole a watch at u public meeting excused himself on thu plea that he was merely taking minutes ot the ullair.

How a wo-.uun can keep on talking while she twists up her back hair and has her mouth lull ot hairpins is ii mystery not yet expluined. li'ben a man finds a dog collar in a piece of mince pie he feels a little sorry for the dog, but his sympathies ure mostly concen trated on himself. 1 Remember that you go grow older every day; if yon have bad habits, they grow older t(Hi; and the older liotn grow together the harder they urc to separate. The average age of a hog is only fifteen vears. Tins aiwavs consoles ns worn we see a man spreading himself out over four seats in a railway compartment. Our brains are seventv-vear clocks. The iingel of life winds them up once for all, then closes the ease and gives the key into tho hand of the angel ofthc resurrection. People talk about the ''new moon" when there isn't aliv new moon. It is the same old moon with a tallow dip nose, that has been circling around this world lor ages. H'hv is il that a blessing only when it is lost cuts as ilecn into tho heart as a slt:trp diamond? Why must we first weep before we can love so deeply that our hearts ache! If the hearts of the two wedded giants beat as one, what a terrible thumping there must be.

A lit. if Ktrl on Long island, a lew nights ago, closed her devotions with these words: "I do thank nice, ioni, ior an my blessings, and I'll do as much for you some time."

"Your father is worth at least half a mil liou, is he not?" said he to his jealous sweet heart.
