Though men give you their ad vice gratis, you will often be cheated if you take it. When once a woman loses confi dence in a man every truth he tells her sounds like a lie. An irate father undertook to chastise an undutiful son, nearly as large himself, in the rourth ward Tuesday night, but was floored pros trated by a son-stroke. It is in vain to hope to please all alike. Let a man stand in what direction he will, he must necessarily turn his back on one-half of the world. Some persons, after becoming so bad that they can't expect to go to heaven, seem to rest all their hopes upon making themselves so much worse, that Satan won't have them. Those people who turn up their noses at the world might do well to reflect that it is as good a world as they were ever in, and a much better one than they are likely to get in again. Wheat Wanted.
