the blossom, a burr of what nro call
ol 'brrgar lino.' Pass bv them, and
thoy fall off and stick to vonr clothes,
and slick, and stick I nnd if yon, by
dint of hard brushing nnd prickled
fingors. succordod in ridding your
self oi thotii Ihcy most i:keiy nave
gono whoro tho next passer by will
bo troubled by thctn. And tbeir
sprawling, ungainly stalk ban taknn
an much vitality from tbo earth as
strawberry vino or li rdiirhush tfouM
have dono. It is liko wild oats, just
as ungainly, just ns disagroeablo to
vodr friends, and just ns noodles,
No more so.
Secondly t Don't swoar. Tbo
liT.th 1b good enough without it and
false hood is none the better with it
Two-thirds of the people bavo a feel
ing that a story winch noods couflr
tiling by an oath is liko a hoino which
neods propping with a ehoro, rather
unstable aud dangerous in a storm
I bavo known a swearer himself to
doclaro bis mortification at tbo coin
pany of another no moro profane
tball himself
Thirdly : took out for tour rep
utation. If that gets bad. bo Hiiro it
is tho outcropping from a diseased
branch in your character i and a rep
utation onco patched is as likely to
show tbo blemish as a china plato
with a pioco puttied into it ed;'o.
Going down hill is easy, easier than
goiug np, whilo your faco is to
ward tho bottom. It is liko playing
Larry O'Gaff i you can bogin auy
wboro, but if you go on till you Como
to a stoppiug placo you may play till
your bow is worn out and your
strings broken. Vonr t'nldlo is gono,
but tbo mimic rumaius Da capo
from ovorlustin; even uuto over
lasting Fourthly ! Tako your sisters with
yon to places of amusement thus
making sure thoy nro iu company
with a con'onndi'd good follow i
thcDkOf com so you will bo euro tbey
nro in no danger. Don't exenso
yourself by saying that tbo placo or
the company is not fit. If it is good
enough for them, unless by keeping
bad associations you have fallen a
long way bolow thom in which caso
a conliniianfd of evil will not ralso
you n;;ain to thoir lovol.
Fifthly s Learn to tako earo of
yourself nnd not depnndon motbor
nnd nibtor to button your collar, put
away your slippers and pipe, (if you
aro fool enough to smoke ono.) bang
np your hat and ovorcoat i othnrwiso
you may havo riches of a Jow, tno
beauty of Apollo, and tho good na
ture of a clown, without tho faculty
of muukiud a good husband.
.Sixthly : Don t scowl nt vonr sin-
tors children, falling tbem br'-.ts or
nuisances Pooplo who iivo in glass
housos ought to know bolter than to
throw stones, nnd you should con
sider that it is tittoily impossible for
anything human to bo more hateful
than you wore when this nnmo sister
as being courted, unless the excep
tion bo made- in favor of tbo "to be s'
whoa you yourself shall have boon
married a fow years.
Hovcnthly i Don t regard mens
a play ground and overy workinj
doy ns a hardship. Tbo only person
I ovor know who ha I Courtii oi July

The Fan.
In ndia aud China tbo original
tnodol of tbo fan is said to bavo
beon tile wing of a bird i and nn
admiraUlo fan can always bo made
from two bird s wings, joinod by a
strip of wooiL Tbe fan of tbo high
priests of Ibis was in tho form of a
half clrclo, made of f oat hots of dif
ferent lengths. Such, too, wore tbe
fans carried in trinnipUal proces
sions, nod amouj which tho Kgyp-
tains served as military standards
in time of war. The Sibyls are
said to have boon in tbe habit of fan
ning themsolvos as tbey dulivored
tboir oraclos, tbo fan being evident
ly not regarded in those daya as in
any way connected with frivolity t
and even now, not in the hast alone,
but iu Kuropo, tho fan plays an ira-
portuut part ineertain religious
ceremoniod.
Curious Comments by a Judge.
