For, iu spite of his rheumatism and his pains and miseries, he looks hul and strong, and his whitoTiead, irowuing tho rugged dark face, is uplifted with kind of loftiness of beariug.

The man who was ashamed to look his watch in the face probably got it on tick. It may be that riches have wings, but the man with a million is willing to chance it.

Tho man who prides himself on always speaking his mind is the first one to kick when he finds anybody else exercising tho same privilege.

READ AND PROFIT TI1EHKI1V. A father is a banker given by nature. The brightest sunlight cast the deepest shadows. Conscience is the most enlightened of all philosophers, Those who school others oft should school themselves. To be poor, and seem poor, is a certain method to rise. People's intentions can only be decided by their conduct. Labor rids us of three great evils irk soiiieness, vice and poverty. Knowledge is the treasure, but judg ment the treasurer of a wise man. Tastes consist in the power of judging; genius 111 the power of executing. When a man resists sin on human mo tives, only, he will not hold out long. He is tho best aecoiintaut who can east uji cont'ctly the biu of his own errors. Nature has thrown a veil of modest beauty over maidenhood and moss roses. Few honors, fortunes or purposes are gained without venturing or running u risk of failure. He who observes the speaker more than the sound words will seldom meet with dis appointment. Wo you wish that work should never weary you? Thhink that you are giving pleasure to auotlier. I like the laughter that opens the lips and the heart, that shows ut the same time pearls and the soul. Tho chief properties of wisdom are to be mindful of things past, careful of things present, provident of things to come. To judge human character rightly a man mity sometimes have very small experience, provided lie has a very large heart.

Rut I'll bet you've seen tho pho tograph of the prettiest girl in our town n thousand times. You don't think you have, but you have, all the same. I'll tell you. You have certainly seen tho show window advertisements of u Richmond firm that makes a popular brand of sinok ing tobacco, the advertisement being adorned by a photograph of a beautiful young lady. '( if course, you have seen it hundred of limes. They are in every tobacco store. Well, that is .1 real photograph, and the girl is the belle of Richmond. There is a little romance connected w ith it, too. The young lady was courted by a young man of our town, but he made poor progress in winning her affections. Like all beauties, she was vain nml ambitious. She became actually envious of Mrs. Langtry and wanted to go on the stage herself. "One night she was saving hov she would love to have her picture hungup in show windows and admired by everybody like Mrs. Laiigtrvs. 'What would you give to have it?' inquired her suitor. 'Anything, everything,' replied she en thusiastically, but not thinking it meant anything serious. So 11 bargain was mail playfully on her part, that in case within six months her photographs were on ex lii hi t i hi all over the country she would grant the young man any honorable re- miest. lie is a member ol I he tobacco manufacturing firm spoken of und is a smart young chaii. with an eve to business, ns you can see.

THE CLAMOUR OF THE SEA It is when the spirit of the enterprise is associated with salt witter that it becomes probubly the most dominating power that can actuate the lives ol nun. Willi knowledge of human mil ure only equalled by the rare art with which It is uccoui plislied. De Foe puts into the mouth of Robinson Crusoe's father tho most con voicing arguments in order lo combat the roving disposition of bis son. Itobiusoii acknowledged himself to have been sin cercly atlecteil by them; but the impres sion lasted only a IVw days, aud he then forthwith tells lis that "to prevent any more of my father s importunities, I re solved to run right away from hiiu." In another direction the difficulties encoun tered by Columbus, before he was permit ted to set sail, form a surprising chapter in the history of maritime enterprise, and B itliing but a determination amounting to a vital passion could have sufficed to over come them. Rut u more native example is at hand. When, us a schoolboy, Nelson committed a raid upon some of hi master' choice pears reserving, however, none of tho plun der for himself hi excuse was that he only tisik them because every oth er boy wa afraid. This animating motive wis abundantly verified in tho whole of Nelson' career, it being the self-same spirit that prompted him to declare in later life that, "iu sea affairs nothing is imposs ible." In fact, nn overwhelming passion for the sea often distort young lives until they aro led into tho ouly channel which seem their destiny. SCHOOLS FOH DOCK.

If your earthen pie-plates ure discolored, rub them well with whiting or sand soap. Two small tart tipples tiro a toothsome addition to the stuffing uf a ruast duck or goose. In hanging pictures, the brightest colors should be put in the darkest corners of the room. A little powdered charcoal will cleanse and sweeten bottles if it is well shaken about them.
