FEW OF THE 11ES10UT OF SEVENTY
THOUSAND.
The fact that more than seventy thousand
proverbs lmvebecn perpetuated, anil lit ninny
cases originated by the pcoplcof Europe and
America, proves, without counting those at
tributed to other nation, that these expres
sions of practical truths have lost none of
the prestige of those diy.s when Plato, Plu
tarch, Aristotle and other philosophers re
garded their study as honorable, and classed
them among undeniable testimonies of es
tablished principle. Even Solomon, the
most learned of the learned, avoided all pos
sibility of any doubt as to his opinion on tho
subject, by compiling a book which pro
claimed to all the world that "a proverb is
an interpretation of the wise."
Many of the-e familiar sayings wo use in
our everyday conversation, without having
tho slightest knowledge of theirorigm, their
early application, the countless ages through
which they have come to us, or tho dillerent
nations to whom they have conveyed the
samo ideas.
We luivo a notable examplo of age and
universality in the world-wide proverb which
takes for its text the benefit arising from
the observing of early hours. This dates
further back than tho patience of man has
allowed him to pursue it, and our language
is usually poured into the cars of youthful
sluggards by thrifty parents in the couplet:
"Dai ly to bed and eai ly to rise,
Will make you healthy, wealthy and wise
this proving more seductive with its literal
promises, which come within tlio comprehen
sion of a child'smind.than the ligurative ono
of the Scotch : "The early bird catches the
worm."
"Ho that was born to be hanged will nev
er be drowned," is repeated by every known
tongue, the Scotcli conveying tho idea in
"Tlio water will ne'er defraud tho woo'lio o
its due;" and the Danes intensifying it with
"Ho that is to bo hanged will never be
drowned, unless the water goes over tlio gal
lows." Tlio Dutch say, "What belongs to
the raven does not drown ;" and tho Ital
ians, "A villain may ilaneo without danger
on the river."
Tho old Hebrew maxim, "Ono bird in the
net is better than a hundred Hying," has
been clothed in English in tho lines:
"Ono bird tn tho hand Is belter far,
Than two that lu tlio bushes arc,"
which is often used in the contracted form of,
"A bird in tho hand is worth two in the
bush."
The Scotch mako even a greater difference
iu tho value of tho object possessed and
those in anticipation than tho sayings al
ready quoted, with tho proverb, "Ao bird i'
the hand is worth ten flying."
The idea running through tlieso has sug
gested numerous other sayings, dilleringonly
iu tho figures used, as tlio advice, "Never
count your chickens until they uro hatched ;"
or, a little less vulgarly put, "lSelter havo an
egg to-day than u hen to-morrow." "Chang
ing tho figure again, but retaining the first
idea, wo have, "A living dog is better than
a dead lion."
In cluso connection with these maxims,
which aro full of abjurations for improving
present benefits, is the Danes' expression of
the shortness of life, in their proverb, "to
day, gold to-morrow, dirt."
Tho I' inlanders re.-qicet tho sentiment nt
this last in, "To-day well to-inorrmv cold
iu the mouth." Ftotn the same source comes
tlio most sensible suggestion, "Iletter bend
tho neck than bruise tho forehead,'
Tho Spanish proverb, "Four eyes aro bet
ter than two," becomes in England aud
America, "Two heads aro better than ono :"
while tho same thought pervades a saying
common in Venice, that "Pope and peasant
know more than Popo alone,"
Tho Latin proverb by Erasmus
"That same man that runneth awalo
May again light another dalo ;"
though containing dubious consolation for
those who havo not proven themselves over-
bravo in the strife, is reproduced by Duller
In "Htidibras," and reads somewhat us fol
lows :
Tor those that Ily may light again,
Which ho can never do that's slain,"
To Oliver Goldsmith is given tho credit
of tho most ommon version now iu Use of
this truth, though I do not recall tho connec
tion in which ho introduced it. While fa
miliar to nil, it is hero quoted for tlio sako
of comparison:
"He who tights, and runs away,
May live to light another day,"
Plutarch relates, iu lil.s lifo of Einilltis
Puiilus, tho origin of "Whomtlioshoo pinch
es j" und "thereby hangs a tale," which in
forms us that this worthy man, without uuy
uppurcut cause, obtained u divorce from his
wife. This strango proceeding naturally as
tonished his friends, who knew tho discard
ed person only ns a inot worthy and excel
lent woman, and who, with ono nccord, bo
gnn questioning Emillus as to his motives.
f lie cautious man, without satisfying their
curiosity In the least reproved their doubts
ns to the wUilom of his action in tho matter
by in turn asking them to point out "whero
tho shoe pinches;" nt tho samo timo holding
up for inpsectlon ouo of his feet, which was
clothed lu a new nnd seemingly well-fitting
boot.
Tlio Scotch havo repeated his spirit in
their Paying, "I wot weel whar my niu shoes
uirl me, aud llm 1' reach In "None knowso
well where tho boot blndi ns the wearer."
"All Is not gold that glitters," wo read in
tho "Merchant of Venice; or, turning to
Chaucer's "Yeoman's Tale," the same is
found In
"Hut all things tt hlcli that shlneth as the gold,
No Is no gold ns I havo herd It told "
Spencer, in "Tho I-'acre Qtteenc," furnish
es still another variation: "Wo find alias
they say, that glitters is not gold."
Tom Mooro cheerfully sang, in reply to a
friends admonitory, "You know not what a
day may bring forth :"
"To-d ly, at least then, to-day bo gay,
Whatever to-morrow brings,"
Which, doubtless, shocked tho would-be
monitor, though, on tho whole, was certain
ly a most healthful view of tlio mailer; for,
as an English proverb assures those who aro
always on tho alert for trials and tribula
tions, "He is truly miserable who feels sor
row, but twico so who ftars it before it
comes;" or, as tho Persians tersely put it,
"There is no use in crossing a bridge until
you come to it."
lien. Franklin gaveus many sensible prov
erbs, among which arc conspicuous, "Three
moves tis bad as fire ;" also, "Clod helps those
who help themselves," and
"Vessels largo may venture more,
"Hut llttlo boats should keep near the shore."
Yet few, or none were original with Frank
lin, but rc-drcssctl.
"Old friends liro bet," John Sheldon told
the world three hundred years ago. Gold
smith repeated the sentiment when ho said:
"I love everything that's old old friends,
old maimers, old books, old wine;" and one
of our modern poets tells those who live nt
the present time to
"Lay this Into your bre ist :
Olil friends j llko old swords, still are trusted tho
best."
" There is no great loss without some small
gain," and "It's an ill wind that blows no
body any good, ' havo their equivalents in
Franco in the very popular saying, "Mis
fortune is good for something," and in the
paniard's equally plii!osophicalone,"Therc
is no ill but comes of good."
In English wo find, "It is an easy thing
to bear the sorrows of another ;" in the Span
ish it becomes, "Another's care hangs by a
hair;" while tho French have it, "Another's
ill is lm n dream," and, "We all have for
titude enough to endure the woesof others."
The Italians expre-s the same thought in
"One does not feel five hundred blows on
tho back of another," and the Russians in
The burden is light on tlio shoulders of an
other."
Haste makes waste" is derived from an
old Latin proverb which, in substance, im
plies "The more haste the more waste. I he
Italians as,ert that "Quickly and well fit not
together; while tho (jcrmans advise," larry
i little that you may mako your end the
-ooner." With the Scotcli the proverb be
comes, "He that rules ere lie no reauy wants
somen' his graith" (equipage).
Applying haste and its ill effects to wed
lock, wo havo iu the English, "Marry in
ha-te, repent at leisiiro;" ami inthe French,
"Wedlock rides in tho saddle, and repent
ance on the croup."
Tho unst:ib!cne-s of worldly possessions
expressed in the proverb, "To-day me, to
morrow it belongs to you," is derived from
tlio Latin, as aro: "A woman cither loves or
hates;" "Ho who gives promptly gives twice
as much ;" "All things are good with tho
good;" this last suggesting tho better known
saying, "To the pure all things aro pure. '
The Latin "Too much of one good thing is
good for nothing," clashes, proverbs of dif
ferent nations frequently do, with tho Eu
glisli, "Too much of any good thing is not
enough ;" the French, "There is not enough
if there is not too much;" and the Scotch
maxim. "Thero is nicr enoush if there'i
nothing left."
Among the Spanish phrases which assis
in swelling tlio li-t of familiar proverbs are
"Thero is no fence aL'.iinst fortune;" "A Ho
lias short legs ;" " Hotter be n fool than obsti
nate."
It is quite probable the last quoted owes
its origin to a Latin maxim, which says.
"God sends fools fortune ;" as also may the
Spaniards' cxpre.-sion, "The mother of Goi
appears to fools ;" and tlio Oermans' "l-or
tune and women arc fond of fools."
Tho Italians, who aro rich in this sort o
love, fiave given us many of our most sug
gestive proverbs. "Who answers suddenly
knows little;" "Poverty is tho mother of all
arts;" "Speak the truth and shame tho dev
il;" "Commend a wife but remain a bach
elor," being all translations from their lan
guage. Wo also borrow extensively from tlio
French, "Ho that wauls health wants every
thing;" "To laugh iu one's sleeve;" "No
pains, no gains;" "Seeing is believing;"
"Love me, love my dog," and "Thero is no
worse water than that which sleeps." Tills
we have converted into "Still waters arc
deep," whilo before cither saying was found,
the ancients talked of the same matter when
they said, "Tho deepest river flows with tho
least sound."
lu'iniaii proveibs, llko their love-songs,
are full of worth aud beauty, "Speech is sil
ver, sllenco Is gold," being a fair illustra
tion :
"A bawbeo cat may look at a king;" "A
man at live may boa fool at fifteen;" "Auld
men aro twice bairns;" "Hlood's thicker than
water;" und "A faint heart never won a fair
lady," betray tho Scotchman's thought
Solomon, who early gave tho world such a
fund of proverbs, rarely receives credit for
tho same. Many havo became woudrously
familiar without taking tho starting place,
Among these Dible quotations, attributed to
Shakspcare, Thomas A. lvcmpls and others,
are: "Tho hcatt knowctU its own bitter
ness;" "A soft answer turneth away wrath ;"
"A word fitly spoken Is llko apples of gold
iu pictures of silver;" "Faithful aro tho
wounds of a friend," etc,
On tho other hand theso samo nuthors aro
often robbed of their deserts and their beau
tlful thoughts accredited to tho good book;
us, for Instance, "God tempera tho wind to
to tho shorn lamb," which originated with

Chinese Ilnnk Ulll.
Paper money is well known to have been
iu uso in China from a very early period.
The native banks of Fiichnufit aro quite nu
merous, and tho bank bills In uo are noted
for their unique appearance, and fur difficul
ty with which they are counterfeited Tho
banks are not under government Inspection
or control, Any individual who has tho
capital, or any company of individuals who
can furnish tho necessary funds may estab
lish a bank nnd issuo bills, without getting a
charter, or applying for any kind of permis
sion from tho government. The outline of
tho bill, with various devices to make coun
terfeiting difficult, is engraved neatly on a
solid block of brass in the case of wealthy
banks ; poor proprietors of banks use hard
wood instead of brass, Tho right-hand mar
gin is made an inch or more wider lli iu the
left-hand margin of tho block of brass or
wood. Tho value of the bill nnd tho day
of issue arc filled in with tho pen, and one or
more words to facilitate tho detection of a
counterfeit. Various stamps, large or small,
round or square or oblong, some of which
aro very curiously and elaborately engraved,
arc impressed on different part of the bill,
using red or blue ink, These add very much
to the neat and handsome appearance of the
note, and are believed usually to havo some
secret and privato mark. From these and
other causes, tho notes aro very difficult to
imitato with precision and exactness by
counterfeiters. Hut perhaps tho use which is
made of tho wide margin furnishes the great
est security against counterfeiting. On this
margin there aro stamped or written various
words, phrases, or sentences, before the
ill is cut off or trimmed and put into circu
lation. When everything is ready, theso
stamped or written sentences or phrases aro
cut through by a sharp knife, leaving the
ght-hand margin of tho bill, about the
same width a? tho left-hand, though it pre
sents a very dillerent appearance. Of course,
tlio eugo of the right-hand margin of tho
bill, aud thoedge of tho paper which was cut
oil' from it will precisely match each other,
but, as the sentences havo been cut into two
arts, part of the words nnd stamps will boon
tho bill, and part on tho slip of paper cutoff.
hese slips arc all carefully kept in a book
form ready for reference, each slip contain
ing tho value, date, and privato marks of a
ill for payment, if there is tho least doubt
f its genuine, reference is made to the cor
responding proof-slip, and the banker or his
lerks know immediately whether it is genu-
ino or counterfeit. A successful imitation
of the written sentences and words, tho blue
and red stamps, which aro found on the
right margin of a bank bill, and which have
been cut through a line parallel with the
eft-hand margin, it is almost impossible to
make so exact, precise and minute as to fit
the preserved proof-slip.
What is Loveliness'
It is not in pearl powder, nor in golden
hair dye, nor in jewelry. It cannot be got
in a bottle or in a box. It is pleasant to be
handsome ; but all beauty is not prettiness.
Thero is a higher beauty that makes us love
peoplo tenderly. Eyes, nose, hair or skin
never did that yet; though it is pleasing to
sec fine features. What you are will make
your faco ever for you iu the end, whether
nature has made it plain or pretty. Good
peoplo aro never ill-looking. Whatever
their faces may be, an amiable expression
atones for nil. If they can bo cheerful also
no one will love them tho less because their
features arc not regular, or because they arc
too mi, or ioo iu.:i, too pn.e, or too nark.

"Arbor Hay." .
The second AVednesday in April, is known
as "Arbor Day" in Nebraska, and is set
aside specially for tlio planting of trees,
Tho farmers on tho treeless prairies were
taught by sad experience that the only way
to bring a proper quantity of rain aud to
protect themselves from the fierce sweep of
tlio desolating summer tornadoes and the
cutting winter blasts, was to plant trees and
raiso forests as rapidly as possible. For this
purposo ono day iu each year is set apart,
and young and old engage in the work of
platiting trees. As In Ezypt and in parts of
France, this system lias been successful,
althoii!ih in Nebraska It has not yet had full
timo to show its usefulness. Iu the mean-
limn llm neonle nf tho Middle and Eastern
States continue to destroy their timber in the
most reckless manner, apparently heedless
of the fact that dry summers and autumns,
severe winters and disastrous spring floods,
are the natural result. 1 he time may yet
come when all theso States will be obliged
to have their own "Arbor Days" lo preserve
their laud from barrenness and desolation.

Marrying for Money.
Jennlo .Tune ventured dome pungent criti
cism on a curious case that was tried In a
New York court tho other dny. It nppcar
that a young lady of eighteen married a
widower with grown daughters, reputed rich,
and nccordlng to his own statement, worth
properly amounting to $100,000. This prop
erly, Just before his marriage, he surrepti
tiously conveyed to his daughters, thus de
priving his prospective wlfo of any right or
title to her share of It. Discovering this
soon after her marriage, the young wife im
mediately sued for her rlifht of dower, alleg
ing fraud upon her aud marriage under falso
pretenses, he having pressed his claims on
Ills standing and ills possessions, nnd she
having married an elderly man with a fam
ily, as she frankly admits, becamo of his
money. The statement of the case created
agood deal of interest the defendant admit
ting tho principal charge, but rather lamely
declaring that lie did it in consequence of a
promise of his dead wife to provide for her
daughters in that way, in case he should
marry again. This statement had less weight,
however, since he seems to have carefully
nvoided tho mention of such a promise dur
ing his courtship. The ju lge was puzzled
md reserved his decision, but the female
scribe shrugs her shoulders and declares that
had she been in the judgo s place she would
have granted the young wife's petition with
out much hesitation. Tlio fact that tho
inei n old scamp conveyed the properly
stealthily away, shows that lie was perfectly
awaro of what the girl was marrying him
for, aud it also shows that it was all of him
worth marrying. A girl is to b6 pitied who
marries for money, but sho certainly deserves
tho poor dross for which sho barters herself.
Llfi:. Live for something I Yes, and for

the world to mako tho world better; to lift
it up to higher levels of enjoyment and pro
gress, to mako its hearts and homes brighter
and happier by devoting to our felloits our
best thoughts, activities, influences. It is the
motto of every noble life, that "no man
Hvcth to himself" lives chiefly for his own
selfish good. It is a law of our intellectual
aud moral being that we promote our own
happiness in the exact proportion wo con

piness is possible in the experience of those
who live only for themselves, nil oblivious
