ATCHISON PHILOSOPHY.

Every man is a suicide; he has some habit that is shortening his life. Men philosophize with you in your distress, but it is the women who console. Tbe best acquaintance a man has is the stranger who knows neither good nor bad of him. A man never wants anything so “bad as when he is told he will have to fight for it to get it. Before telling a story on a man, remember that if you tell the truth, the man who quotes you probably will not. Talk of the eccentricities of genius, and half of your audience will feel grateful to you for finding a pleasing apology for their faults. A friend is more apt to believe a bad story on yon than an enemy. In hoping it is true, an enemy fears it is not, bnt a frieu:! hoping it is not true, bet<~w» it is.— Vtchi.-on Happy and content is a home with **Ttie Ro« Chester ;”ai»mpwith the light of the morning.
