WISDOM OF TEE PAST.

Extracts from a Book Written Fifteen Hundred Years Ago. [From the New York Graphic.] A very learned member of the Chinese Embassy ht Washington is the possessor of a book of great antiquity and of almost priceless value. He believes that it was written more than fifteen centuries ago, and that it was at that time copied from a still older manuscript—so old, in fact, that Noah might have had it with him in the Ark. This learned and genial diplomatist has, during his leisure moments, amused himself by translating into English certain portions of this venerable manuscript, which appears to be a compound of history, political rules, and observations upon the social relations of life. These observations display a deep insight into human nature, and a very keen perception of the weakness, as well as the strength of mankind. A number of these translated passages have been kindly sent to ns by the courteous and erudite possessor of this valuable and unique work. Here are some of them: If one purposes to be very much in love with his wife, let him marry a virgin and not a widow. For if he marries a widow, especially if she be sweet in disposition, loving, amiable, and passionate, the more he loves her the more unhappy he will be by reason of his reflections upon the past; upon what happened before he wedded her, and when she was the wife of her first- husband. In what otherwise would be his most happy moments, these disquieting reflections will obtrude themselves; and the more lovely is his wife, and the more affection she bestows upon him, the more bitter will be his regret that the same loveliness and the same affection were once the possession of another. This is the manner in which a man’s heart is made—he is intensely jealous and selfish. In the bestowal of rewards by a ruler for past services in war or in the civil service, the ruler should not expect gratitude on the part of a recipient. However great the reward may be, the recipient will think that it is but the payment of a debt, and often that the payment is not aqeduate. The selfesteem"bf a" man is always greater than the estimate of his worth formed by others. An affected humility may seek to disguise this, even to the mind of the man himself—but at the bottom of his soul there will rest the belief that he has only been paid what was his due—in which case he will not feel grateful, or that he has not been paid enough, in which case, under the cloak of affected gratitude will lurk anger and a desire for revenge. All men are naturally mean and s§lfseeking. (The Chinese phrase here, our diplomatist informs us, is very inadequately rendered by the translation he has given. The phrase—chiloupillapouza omotazen zawtek lingopotzet—is not at all modern, although it is found in comparatively modern Chinese writings, those of the ; sixth century after Christ for instance. The words have a very elastic meaning—as for instance they have been construed thus: “By nature each man, like a hog, wishes to be first at the feeding trough, and to keep the other hogs away.”) The selfishness of men, however, is very different from that of women. The latter is the most intense and absorbing, and to gratify it nothing is too sacred to be sacrified. And the jealousy of woman is essentially different from that of man. She is far more egotistical. The sense of having supplanted a rival is sweet to her. A woman who has married a widower is not jealous of the dead wife, provided that her husband treats her lovingly. She is delighted by the idea that she has displaced the memory of the dead wife from the heart of the living husband, and that she now filis it. When he caresses her she does not say to herself with regret, “Thus he has caressed my predecessor,” but conscious that he has love<Tbefore, is proud that she, as she thinks, has rooted out that love, and now controls him. The essential difference between men and womeh, in their domestic relations, may also be seen in the fact that women accept and are happy under a system of polygamy, while men never have, and never will, accept a system of polyandry. (The learned Chinese philosopher was § little rash here —for he did not foresee the Oneida Community.)

A Warning.

Joe McFlannigan had been out celebrating all the evening, and ashe sauntered up to the* bar in a West Madison street saloon he was just a trifle unsteady. “Gi’ me a glass—hie—o’ whisky!” he demanded of the barkeeper. His friend, Terry Doolan, ordered a glass of beer, and the white-aproned gentleman proceeded to put out the liquor. The whisky bottle was in the ice-chest, and when taken from there several particles of ice stuck to the bottom. There was a slight incline to the bar, and consequently, the ice making it slippery, the bottle began to slowly journey down the incline. Joe watched it a moment in silence; then his face became ashy pale, and he inquired of his friend: “Say, Terry—hie—is that bottle moving?” “Why, no, Joe,” replied Terry, with a perfectly straight face. Joe took a fresh grip on the bar, and turned again to the bottle. As he saw it still moving, the perspiration started out from his pores, and he passed his hand several times back and forth before his eyes, as if to clear his vision. Finally he turned to the barkeeper and said solemnly: “Barkeep’, take away the bottle. Come on —hie—Terry; T’ve had a—hie warning. I’ll never touch another drop —hie.” “What’s the matter, sfoe ?” “Matter!—hie. Matter enough. By the great Justice—hie—of the Peace, I've got ’em. When bottles begin to—hie—walk, I say—hie—a man’s gone far enough.”— The Rambler, \ This old story about the size l of a ■whale’s heart is being revived: A dissector was engaged in getting out the heart of a very large whafe. While doing so his foot sbpped and he fell into one pf the ventricles of the heart

Thence he was sliding into the aorta, and, if he had not been pulled out, would assuredly have been suffocated. After his rescue he cut some rings from the aorta,. and found that he could easily slip them over his shoulder.

Could Fill the Bill.

“I need exercise,” said one Clark street business man to another, the other day; “I know I do.” “Not the least doubt of it, Marshal,” replied the other. “I’ve thought the same thing for some time. Your close application to business is beginning to tell on you.” “I know it, Murphy; I’ve felt fora good while that I was neglecting my health. ” “Well, why don’t you take a rest and recuperate ?” “That’s not so much it, Murphy. Rest won’t do me a particle of good unless I can forget business. It don’t do ine any good to go away from town. I can’t leave business behind, and it I rides me like a nightmare all the time.” “That won’t do, Marshal; neyer do in the world. Keep it up a while longer, and under the sod you go. You must stop it; it’s all nonsense anyhow.” “I know it is, but I can’t help it.” “Yes, you can.” “Indeed I can not. I’ve been trying for some time to free my mind from this confounded slavery to traffic, and I’ve mads no headway at all—not the least bit. “That’s because you don’t go about it right. ” “Well, perhaps it is; but what’s your plan? I’m always willing to learn.” “You must go about the matter systematically, the same as you would in any business enterprise. Make up your mind in the first place that things have got to be just as you want them, and you’ll find the battle as good as half won, to start on. ” “And then what?” “In the next place, you must take sufficient exercise to* keep your blood moving, and it must be something that will not permit you to think of anything else while engaged in it. That’s the whole secret of the matter.” “But, my good fellow, that’s the impossible part of your plan. ” “Not a bit of it, Marshal. You’ll find it easy enough if you go about it right.” - —— “No, indeed, Murphy, you don’t know me. My mind is always on the go, like a streak of lightning—everywhere in a minute—and I’ve never been able to find any exercise that would make me forget everything else.” “You haven’t?” “No.” “Have you tried learning to ride a bicycle ?” “Well—that is—no; but I guess I’ve tried about everything else.” “You have?” ' “Yes.” “I suppose you’ve tried juggling with butcher knives?” “Well—no.” “Ever help your wife put down a carpet?” “No; always hired that done.” “Then you’ve fooled away a good many fine opportunities, that’s all. I don’t suppose you’ve ever tried to break a colt to go in single harness ?” “No; never had much to do with horses. ” “You’re not subject to the toothache?” “No.” “That’s a great pity, for it might be some help to you. If you wasn’t married I’d' say, fall in love; that would take all other trouble out of your mind with a rush. Ever tried walking on the prairie when the mercury was in the basement and the wind blowing like a drummer in a caboose ?” “No.” “I suppose you’ve tried dressing a three-year-old boy in a hurry, to make a train before daylight?” *“No.” “I thought you’d tried everything, but instead of that you’ve tried scarcely anything. It wouldn’t surprise me to hear that you haven’t even tried to hold a calf while somebody else was driving the cow into another lot ” “No, I never did that.” “Well, try a few experiments with some of these things, and I’m inclined to think you can manage to get your mind as far from business for a season as the necessity of the case seems to require. But if none of them happen to fill the bill to the very last jrequirement, you can overdo the matter like sixty by putting on a pair of roller skates, and practicing on a glide waltz, and such other kickups as you may fancy. If you can think of business with them Things on your feet, you’ve got a head big enough to wear an editor’s hat.—Chicago Ledger.

Brady’s Picture of Lincoln.

“When did you first take President Lincoln ?” I asked. “It was just after his election, when he was coining through New York on his way to Washington. I remember Lincoln, he was so tall, gaunt and angular, and his neck was so long that I had great trouble in making a natural picture. When I got him before the camera I asked him if I might not arrange his collar, and with that he began to pull it up. “ ‘Ah,’ he said, ‘ I see yon want to shorten my neck.’ “ ‘That’s just it,’ said I, and we both laughed. The picture taken at this time had a wide sale, and Lincoln used to speak of me afterward as the man who made him acquainted with the people.”— Carp, in Cleveland Leader.

“Crossest Man in Alabama.”

i'll# crossest man In Alabama lives dar,” said the driver as we approached a wayside home, near Selma, Ala., to ask accommodations for the night. At sapper, and after it, “mine host" scowled at every one, found fault with everything earthly, and I was wondering if he would not growl if the heavenly hajo didn’t fit him, when incidental mention being made of the comet of ISBI, he said: “I didn't like its form; its tail should have been fan 6haned i" But, next morning, he appeared balf-of-fended at our offering pay for his hospitality! My companion, however, made him accept as a present a sample from his case of goods. Six weeks later, I drew up at the same house. The planter stepped lithely from the porch, and greeted me cordially. I could scarcely believe that this clear-com-plexioned, bright eyed, animated fellow, and the morose being of a few weeks back, were the same. He inquired after my companion of the former visit, and regretted he was not with me. “Yes,” said his wile; “we are both much indebted to him.” “How'/” I asked, in surprise. “For this wonderful change in my husband. Your friend when leaving handed him a bottle of Warner's safe cure. He took it, and two other bottles, and now— —” “And now,” he broke in, “from an ill-feeling, growling old bear, I am healthy and so cheerful my wife declares she has fallen in love with me again!” It has made over again a thousand love matches, and keeps sweet the tempers of the family circle everywhere.— Copyrighted.

The Etiquette of the Carriage.

Fashion is inexorable and omnipresent. Its devotees seem to be permitted scarcely a natural breath. “On foot or horseback” there is a rule for every moment of existence a la mode—this is an almost literal fact. The fashionable woman who starts out for her afternoon drive in the park conforms constantly To accepted customs in such exercise. Having taken her position and adjusted her toilet with great care, she tilts her patasol at the proper angle "and is driven off. This attitude of studied languor must not be disturbed. It is not good form to turn your head or look about you en route. A runaway dashing by your carriage would hardly justify a look behind. Stiffly stolid is the watchword of polite society on wheels, and the fashionable coachman ably aids and abets his mistress in preserving the correct demeanor. “When she has driven enough, a touch of her carriage bell signifies her desire to return, whereupon the statue on the box holds his whip straight up like a musket and wheels his horse about, leveling the lash again when they are headed homeward. When milady descends at her door, she must on no account lean forward in leaving the carriage. This signifies that she is “not to the manner born,” that sometimes plebeian streetcars or stages have served as her means of locomotion. The properly trained woman will retain her seat till one foot is above the carriage step, then, slightly rising, will sink her weight upon it and glide easily and gracefully to the curb. Truly, education is a great thing. —Neio York Graphic.

A Curious People.

In Sumatra there is a very singular race called the Kubus, who are too shy to mix with the other races of the island, and dwell in the recesses of the forests. They are looked on as inferiors by the Malays, and thought to be little better than< beasts. Such is tbeir shyness that they will never willingly face a stranger. Their trade with the Malayans is consequently carried on in a strange manner. The trader announces his arrival by beating a gong, and then retires from the place of rendezvous. The Kubus approach, put tbeir forest treasures on the ground, beat a gong and retreat. The trader returns and lays bis commodities down in quantities sufficiently, as lie thinks, for the purchase of the goods on sale. Then he retires, and the Kubus reappear and consider the bargain. Anti so, after more withdrawals and approaches and gong beating, the respective parties come to an understanding, and carry off independently tbeir bargains. The Kubus in their wild state do not bury their dead. They live on snakes, grubs, fruits, and the flesh of any deer or pigs they can slay. They are skillful spearsmen, and throw stones with marvelous accuracy. They know of no state after death. In some physical respects they assimilate closely to the anthropoid apes.

He Would Make a Chinese General.

“I declare!” ejaculated Mrs. Smith, as she threw down her newspaper, “the Chinese do have some very queer customs.” “To what do yon refer, my dear?” inquired Mr. Smith. “Why, the paper says no man can enlist in the regular army of China until he has shown his courage by having a tooth pulled.” * “By jing!” exclaimed Smith, bringing his fist down on his knee with emphasis, “if I were in China they would make me a General for my courage.” “Ha! ha! ha!” laughed Mrs. Smith, in derision. “The idea of your being made a General is too ridiculous for anything! You never had a tooth nulled in your life, John Henry.” “That's so, Maria,” said Smith, sheepishly. “Then where are the proofs of your wonderful courage, Mr. Smith ?” “I—l—great Caesar! didn’t I hold my inother-ip-law’s jaw while she had a tooth pulled?” said Smith, while great drops of sweat exuded from his brow. —Netemail Independent.

She Held Her Own Ground.

At a provincial theater, shortly after the Glasgow calamity, just before the performance began, a fine looking woman forced herself past the ticket-taker and planted herself firmly in an unoccupied stall. Presently the manager appeared and politely requested the huly to vacate. She declined. “You cannot be allowed to remain, madame.” “I will.” ‘ " . “If yon do not leave I must have you removed,” urged the fnanager. “Touch me if you dare!” challenged the woman, glaring. “Lay a finger on me and I’ll halloo ‘Fire!’” The manager looked around the packed house and the woman remained. ' In harness a man has lifted 3,500 pounds, this result having bgen achieved only by allowing every Thuscle to act simultaneously to its fullest capacity, and under the most advantageous circumstances.

Where We Get the Asphalt.

I never look at an asphalt pavement, says a writer in the Philadelphia Times, oxv roll along over its smooth surface in a carriage wjthont thinking of the curious island and the still more singular place from which the material is procured. In about the center of the island of Trinidad, a dot in the Caribbean Sea, just off the "coast of Venezuela, there is an asphalt lake. It is said to cover about one hundred acres, and is apparently inexhaustible. It is a.black, Bandy substance, and is believed to be crude, rotten petroleum. A singular feature of the substance is that, although about fifty thousand tons are taken out of this lake annually, it constantly fills up so that there is no lessening of the supply. This singular lake of paving material is owned by the Venezuelan Government, but leased to a company in Washington, of which a man named A. L, Barber is President. They have a fleet of schooners running to Trinidad, and have a monopoly of the business. They import vast quantities of the materiaPlaid down on Broad street, beyond Columbia avenue.

In fact, he stwuck me on the mouth.” “Oh, that was altogether unfair.” “Not at all. I stwuck him first.” “Nevertheless, it was unfair for him to strike you on the mouth.

Among other valuable lessons imparted by this teacher, is the fact that, for a very long time, Dr. Pierce’s “Golden Medical Discovery” has been the prince of liver correctives and blood purifiers, being the household physician of the poor man, and the able consulting physician to the rich patient, and praised by all for its magnificent service and ellicacy in all diseases of a chronic nature, as malarial poisoning, ailments of the respiratory and digestive Systems, liver disease, and in all cases where the use of an alterative remedy is indicated. -Thebe is a man in Hunter’s Point so crippled up with rheumatism that ho is tallest when he lies down. —Brooklyn Times.

TERRIBLE ACCIDENT Necessitating a Surgical Operation—Loving Mother Attempts to Take Pair of Shears from Her (;’hild. PARENTS, BE CAREFUL. Domestic accidents are common to women, and some of them are very serious. Mrs. Warner, of South Rondout, Ulster Co., N. Y., some weeks ago attempted to take from her child a pair of shears with which it was playing. A slight struggle ensued, in which the point of the shears entered Mrs. Warner’s left eye, entirely destroying the sight. Her family physician did what he could, but intensely painful inflammation arose, which, by sympathy, threatened the loss of the other eye. Total blindness to a woman having the care of a household Is an irretrievable calamity. In this strait Mrs. W— applied to the well-known and skillful Surgeon, Dr. Lfavid Kennedy, of Rondont, N. Y,, who removed the injured eye by a very successful operation, setting aside all danger of farther harm to the sight of the other eye. Bat owing to pain and mental distress her system needed a tonic and restorative medicine. To do this work the Doctor prescribed "Kennedy's Favorite Remedy,” which sustained its reputation and.laid a sure foundation of health. Hr. Kennedy’s “Favorite Remedy” removes all impurities from the blood, regulates the Liver and Kidneys, cures Constipation, and all d seases and weaknesses peculiar to Females.
