Dimes and dollars I dollars and dimes!

1? a man’s down, give him a thrust—
Trample th“ beggar into the dust !
Presumptuous poverty’s quite appalling —
Knock him over! kick him for fall ng !
If a man’s up, oh! lift him higher !
Your soul’s for sale, and he’s a buyer!
Dimes and dollars ! dollars and dimes !

I know a poor but worthy youth.
Whose hopes are built on a maiden’s truth —
But the maiden will break her vow with ease,
For a wooer coineth whose charms are these—
A hollow heart and an empty bead,
A face well tinged with (ha brandy’s red,
A soul well trained in villainy’s school.

But poor he is, and poor will be ;

At home he meeteth a starving wife,

-A sick boy, dreadfully sick from chew
ing tobacco, lay on a store box. Another
boy sympathized with and cheered him by
saying, “Grin and bear it, Bill—we’re all got
to come to it some time.”
Ax Item fob the Druxkarp.—A man’s
pride, if he had no other motive, ought to
keep him from getting drunk. The treatment
which he is liable to receive while he is in
this state ought to deter him from it. Every
blockhead can laugh at him, every cowardly
calf can abuse him, «nd .every designing vil
lain can impose upon and rob him.
-If “all the world is a Htage. and the
men and women merely players,” who are
the audience and the orchestra?
The voice of Nature, with its hundred
thousand murmurings. is the orchestra, and
those who will come after us aie the au
dience, who will judge of js, even as we judge
of those who have gone befoi e us.
Worldly Prosperity.—Worldly prosper
ity is a much greater drain upon oik energies
than the most severe adversity; there is no
spring, no elasticity; it is like walking thro’ .
life upon a Turkey carpet.
—The man who boasts of his knowledge
is usually ignorant, and wishes to blind the
eyes of his hearer. Merit and literature are
always discovered—in few- instances unno
ticed, unrewarded.
-The plagues of India arc mosquitoes,
ants and cockroaches. The latter cat your
domes. docks anu nations; ants your provis
ions, and one species yom house and all kinds 1
of vegetation; while the mosquitoes, moie
modest, eat nothing but yourself, especially
if you are a new comer.
-When a man is hideously ugly, the
only 9afety is iu glorying in it. Let him
boldly claim it as a distinction.
-Theodore Parker says that “'a grain of
corn is better than a diamond.” It would be
difficult to make a marriageable young lady ■
believe this, unless she was very hungry. i
■ — An old lady, meeting a Cambridge
man, asked him how her nephew behaved him
self. “Truly, madam,” says h», “he’s a
brave fellow, and sticks close to Catherine
Hall.” (the name of a College.) “I vow,” !
says she, “1 feared as in tch; h? was alawy.s (
hankering after the girls from a boy.”
-A speaker, enlarging on the rascality 1
of the devil, got offthe following: “I tell you
that the devil 19 an old liar; lor when 1 was
about getting religion he told me that if I did r
get religion I could go into good company,and 1
lie and cheat, or any such ihing, but 1 have '
found h'm out to bo a great liar.”
