W f burner. A POET’S ADVICE. Let each one strive with all his might To be a decent man, And love his neighbor as himself, Upon the golden plan. And if his neighbor chance to be, A pretty female woman; Why love her all the more—you see That's only acting human a graveyard in Lagrange, Tennessee, is said to be a tombstone with this inscription: “Here lies old twenty per cent,The more he got the less he spent; The more he got the more he craved; If he goes to heaven we'll all be saved." Wit, -Mirth and motion prolong life. -Business neglected is business lost. -He that would thrive must rise at five. -He that goes a borrowing goes a sorrowing. -Be what you appear and appear what you are. -A good word is as easily spoken as an evil one. -Great minds and great fortunes don’t always go together, -Riches come better after poverty than poverty after riches. -Difficulties, like thieves, often disappear when we face them. -One hours sleep before midnight is worth two hours’ aftre. -They that value not praise, will never do anything worthy of it. -Time, patience, and industry are the three grand masters of the world. -If any speak evil of you, let your life be such that none will believe it. -Why is a facinating woman like gambler? Because she has such a winning way. -The first thing a ben says to her brood, and not the last thing a child says to its father—“shell out.”

-When Lord Erskine heard that somebody had died worth £200,000, he observed, “Well that is a pretty sum to commence the next world with.” -The Boston Journal says Grant couldn’t keep “horse talk” ont of his impeachment testimony; he mentioned “stable” government several times. -Jay Cooke is to dine the Washington correspondents some evening soon, between five-twenty and seven-thirty. They will not go home till ten-forty. -A scriptural student, who has just heard of the Russian treaty, says Uncle Sam is like the prodigal son, because he is wasting his substance in a fur country. -A gentleman met another in the street who was ill of comsumption and accosted him thus : “Ah, my friend, you walk slowly.” “Yes,” replied the man, “but I am going fast.” -“Don’t trouble yourself to stretch your mouth any wider,” said a dentist to a man who was extending his jaw frightfully, “as I intend to stand outside of it to draw your tooth.” -A literary gentleman suggests to country editors that it is about time to bury somebody or something in the tomb of the Montagues. He thinks the tomb of the Capulets already overcrowded. -A gentleman entering a ball room, accidentally tripped over the feet of several ladies. Gracefully recovering himself, he exclaimed, with a smile, “In all my

classical course I never met with s so many feet in a line!” ' -Milton once asked, “How is it ( that in some countries a king can take his place on the throne at four- ’ teen years, but may not marry un- j til he is eighteen?” “Because,” . said he, “it is easier to govern a kingdom than a woman.” -“There are kinds of men in the world, the ‘Wills, the Won'ts, and the Don’ts.’ The first effect every thing, the others oppose every thing. ‘I will, builds our railroads, and steamboats: ‘I won’t’ don’t believe in experiments and nonsense; while ‘I can’t’ grows weeds for wheat, and commonly ends his days in the slow digestion of bankruptcy. -A waggish journalist, who is often merry over his personal plainness, tells this story of himself : “I went into a drug store early the other morning for a dose oTmorphine for a sick friend. The night clerk objected to giving it to me without a prescription, evidently fearing I meant to destroy myself. ‘Pshaw,’ said I, ‘do I look like a mon who would kil himself?’ Gazing at me steadily for half a minute, he replied: ‘I don’t exactly know. Seems to me if Ilopkedlike vou I should be greatly tempted to kill myself.”
