To Thurday night prayer weetinf ;
For each "reform" that came bin way
He had a hearty greeting.
For every "high" and "holy" cause
You'd aiways find him praying,
ml he took the paper, "to help it along"
Hut he never thought of puying.
He had a "pull" in politics,
The candidates all sought him,
'tut what he did ne'er balanced up
With the revenue it brought 'im,
ni to, from year to year, this
Sepukher all whited
Went on hi way dispensing grace
To sinful man benighted.
And when at last Time's ruthless scy thf
Cut down the withered weeds,
Hia heirs prepared a fairy tale
Per witness man to read
His sou', released from earthly bonds
Now rests where there's no winter
And they know ahoveor downbelow-
That be ncttr paid the printer.
E. R L'arger, in Prentice News
From a Wite's Dlaru.
A word to the wise is resented.
Many are called, but few get up.
Where there's a will there's a law
suit.
Honor is without profit-m most
countries.
When folly is bliss 'tis ignorunce to
be otherwise.
Fools rush in and win- where tin
angels fear to tread.
Lore in remaiitic. Marriage i di
cidadly a matter of fact.
People who live in glass houses
hould pull down the blinds.
Misery loves company, but company
does not reciprocate.
Think of your ancestors and youi
posterity and you will never marry.
When we hear of other people's
troubles it reconciles us to our own.
If you can bestow a favor forget it,
nut if you rceeivo one it is wise to re
member. We niiver know how good we art.
