MODERN PHILOSOPHY.
Newspaper Truisms, Gathered From Various Sources. A light heart goes easily with a heavy
puree. Time will fly for every one but for him who waits.
The time to say no is not before one is asked to say yes. It's not the loudest amens that get the Lord's ear the quickest.
Credit is a false friend, who only stays with you until you are in trouble, The evil we do not only lives after us, but plagues us mightily-before we go.
Alimony is the fine a man pays for having made an unsuccessful experiment. It's very easy to judge how much smoking and drinking other people should do.
A woman can strike a harder blow with her back hair than she can with her fist. Nowadays a man can't go down cellar without the snow-shovel's staring him in the face.
When Caesar was stabbed his wife probably said it was just because he didn't dress warmly enough.
A woman can never see a tnan with a mourning band around his hat without feeling almost as if she knew him.
It's a funny thing that the men who always eat nothing but healthy food never look any healthier than men that don't.
When a man looks admiringly at a girl with a short bicycle suit, it is generally her nerve that strikes him.
All through life it's generally the man who is too lazy to cast any vote that talks about what "we" did.
Babies and women always have an advantage over other people, because they know they are not responsible.
The story that a man once woke up his baby to see it laugh was got up by a girl who had no married sisters.
Some people imagine they are religious when the pleasures and excitement they get from it is the real attraction.
There are people who will never get into the heavenly orchestra because they refuse to play anything but first fiddle
The marriage service ought to be altered to read "Love, honor or obey," for sometimes 'tis easy to obey a man whom one could neither love nor honor.
When some men get to heaven they will expect to see everybody fall down flat on his face while they walk up in front to let the Lord congratulate them.
The girl whose wind-blown tresses fall in a golden shower about her alabaster neck, when she takes a center on her spirited bay.
The proud beauty who scorns the attention of the humble young artist, and learns too late that he is a man of fame.
The untutored maiden with the voice of a nightingale, who brings the whole audience to her feet on her first appearance'.
The heiress who wanders about disguised as a poor girl and falls in love, with fisherman's son.
The girl with two or more madly jealous suitors who can keep them all at her beck an call, and induce them to do anything by a glance of her ilquid eyes.
Miniature Republic.
livery one, of course, knows of the Sfny* republics of Andowa, San Marina, Frenceville and Goust, the latter of which has an area of only a mile and a population ot 140 inhabitants and is much older than the United States, but perhaps few people know that in the State of North Carolina there is a republic, independent alike of State and national governments and recognized by the latter. It has an area of 50.000 acres and a population of something more than 1,000 persons who belong to the Eastern branch of the once great Cherokee nation. The little republic is known as Dualla Reserve and is presided over by a president, who is elected every four years. He receives a salary of $500 per year, and while in Washington on national business his country allows him $4 per day and expenses.
Don't Be a Crank.
No successful man is a crank. Look over the cranks of your acquaintance and you will be surprised to notice that not one of them does anything well. They are not prominent citizens they are not prominent socially they do nothing for the general good. A crank who is a lawyer is not a good lawyer, a crank is usual ly a crank because he is a failure. After demonstrating that he lacks common sense a crank pretends that he knows everything and that other people do not know anything that society has learned nothing from experience, and that the world should be turned upside down to accept some of his untried theories If you can avoid being a crank you'd better do it. You can't succeed as a crank at anything.
For Christmas you will want the best and purest Candies at the lowest prices. The Mail recommends White's Confectionery as the place to get them,
