GEO. H. 1IAOAN, San Saba, Texas BT loM'a delightful Influence all the o( the world are alienated. tbe bitter oup of affliction, is sweet- MW and fragrant flowers ars strewn along the most thorny path of Ufa Ler us boware of losing our euthu- tiasm. Let us over glory in something; and strive to maintain our admiration for all that would and our interest in all that would en rich and beautify our life.

IN politeness, as in many othei: things connected with the formation ot character, in general begin outside, when they should begin inside; Instead of beginning with the heart and trusting that to form theroanners. they begin with the manners, and trust the heart to chance influences. OF no USB are tho men who study to do exactly as was dona before, who can never understand that to-day is a new day. We want men of original perception and original action, who can open their eyes wider than to a to considerations of benefit to the human act in the interests of civilization; men of elastic, men of moral, mind, who can nt and- take a step are performed There are ob- and unknown brave? who defend themselves inch by inch in tho shadows against the fatal invasion of want and turpitude. There are noble and mysterious triumphs which no eye sees, no renown rewards, and no flourish of trumpets salutes.

Life, misfortune, isolation, abandonment and poverty are battlefields which have their heroes. COMPASSION is an emotion of which we ought never to be ashamed. Ever graceful, particularly in youth, it is the star of sympathy; and noble is the heart that melts at the of woe. We should not permit oasc and indulgence to contract our affections and wrap us -up in selfish employment; but we should accustom ourselves to think of the distresses of human life, of the solitary sufferer, the sick couch, and with tender Hands and voice alleviate, as far as wo muy, tho ills and sorrows of our common humanity.

"THE cheap defense of nations" was Burke's description of ancient chivalry, which he believed perished when Marie Antoinette died. But there may ba a chivalry of a different character, under which the nations will learn to war no more; when a people will depend less for peace on standing armies, on vast navies, on any system of fortification than on a sense justice, on a spirit of fair play, o.

scrupulous respect for intarnationa rights, on a national policy which is as careful to do no wrong as it is to suffer none. THE English who li employed at a by some will rule: the Eng-iist novels which sell best are so would be considered mad and promptly discharged if he did not tumble intc his book a proper number of noble. men and noblewomen of the unearthlj sort which the great middle class accepts as truly representative; nor lira these remarkable creations less warrnlj welcomed over here. Our own nov elist would them, too, more generally than they do, but for a cer- tain reverential humility which for. bids them to draw so exalted creatures unless they can do it about right, that is to say, with the knowledge that comes of living on the same island with them and sometimes seeing the outsides of their dwellings.

The American novelist or poet of sound judgment and a knowledge of his art refrains, not because he cannot do il aboot right, but because he cannot dc it altogether right IK his famous work on English synonyms tho distinction between instruc- Aon. education and good breeding it thus tersely stated by Crabbe: 'instruction and breeding are to educa- tldn as parts to a whole: the instruction respects the communication ol knowledge, and breeding respects the manners or outward conduct; but education comprehends not both these, but the formation of the mind, tbe regulation of the heart and the establishment of the principles; good instruction makes ono wiser; good breeding makes one more polished and agreeable; good education makes one really good. A want ol education always be to the injury, if not to of Jn (lyuHlon ig-irf Jmoro'ciTless inconvcn to circumstances; a want of breeding only unfits a. man for the society of the cultivated. Education belongs to the periol of childhood and youth; instruction may be given at different ages: good breeding If best lear.it in the early part of life." THE whole of being wise and philanthropic at the same time, is no doubt a difficult one.

what do we accomplish by spraying? Doubtless you arc familiar irith the reports "of expertmeniat stations, and especially with ihe reports of Ibe Department o'' Agriculture, and without doubt this intelligent body roads horticultural papers; hence there can hardly be any question among you that by spraying we can prevent tho rnvages among our fruils of thuse Insect pfifcts and fungous diseaseR that have proved so destructive. But, while I have the greatest confidence In the experimental worker Ihe Department of Agriculture and of our ytate experimental stailor.3, I much prefer to tave the experience of actual, practical fruit growers, whose experience oovers not a few feet, bui acres, and who must pay for their experience out of their own prickets, hence are apt to be conservative and safe-in their conclusions. I apprehend ihalyou are of the same disposition. Hence 1 will quote from a very lew of the letters I have received frora fruit- growers in this state. I have lelltrs from above 1,000 fruit-growers that tried spraying the pasl season, and their universal testimony Is that it accomplishes all claimed for it.

A m-in whoso bend is bulging with mathomatical problems has calculated tho -position of every hour of daily life of an average man. anu lolls just how many hours a man of lifty has devoted lo his toilet, meals, or newspaper.

"Let us assume." said ho. "that the sleeping hours of an average man will number eight daily. That is one-third of his timo. so that in fifty years your man will h.ive slept, all sixteen and eight months. The man who is daily at lifty yenrs probably had his faeo scraped notoftener than throe times per week at twenty-five years, while during first eighteen yen.ra a niisor never touched his face.

"Say that the seini-cantenarhin has averaged two shaves a for Dfty years, that will g'tv-i 0 scrapes in inn half century. At an average of fifteen mkiutes per shavo, the devoted to this one small element of life will run up to fifty-four days and four bours. "If a man should not shavo in fifty years, and then attempt to make up- his proportion all at once, ho would havo to sUave night day for nearly two months. The average man who is not limited to twenty minutes ior dressing, breakfast and catching tha train consumes thirty minutes in getting inside his clothing in the morning.
