SHORT AND SERIOUS.

PEOPLE devote too much time looking at the clock. A MAN'S temper is like a fly: it is full grown the moment it appears. THE more you admire a thing, the more trouble it will make you. IT is not the pleasure seeker who finds pleasure, but the one who tolls for it. THE best revenge to take on your enemy is to try to amount to something yourself. SOME men will make fools of themselves when they know it as well as anybody. A MAN never wants anything so bad as when he is told he will have to fight for it to get it. TOO MANY people think their friends will admire them whether they have on clean collars or not. TO-MORROW should never come: all that it does is to prove to a man that he was a fool yesterday. THERE is comfort in the reflection that some men are honest as naturally as others are dead beats. NO MAN can be everything his neighbor thinks he ought to be, unless he is ashamed of himself all the time. THOUGH there are billions of people in the world, every man's happiness depends on how two or three treat him. NO WOMAN ever admirers a man so much after he has made a confidante of her, and told her of his love for another woman. AFTER a man has beoome rich in a town, people who dislike him begin to look mysterious when the question is asked how he made his money. WE once knew a pious woman who was always confessing to the Lord that she was a great sinner, but she was never known to admit a mistake of any kind to any one else.—Atchison Globe.
