WORDS OF WISDOM.
WORDS OF WISDOM. We seldom catch the fish we see. Dare to be wise; begin it at once. Obedience is the key to every door. Be good, and rdröi¡¡ not to do good. Calumny is only the noise of madmen. It is the mind thai; makes she body rich. None is a fool always, everyone sometimes. There was never a night thai*, had no morn. A noble aim, faithfully kept, is as a noble deed. Genius finds its own road and carries it's own lamp. Narrow spirits admire basely and worship u,icari!v. If you possess a sharp fon»ue. keep if between j Arour teeth. The law of labour is equally binding on genius and mediocrity. Judge not your fe!lew-man s condit.iun until you be in lii^ posji inn. The man who does ino-t ha* the lraM time to talk alxnir, what he docs. The two rarest ijnalitie- m human nature arc steadfastness and gratitude. Jf you arc acquainted with happiness, intro- duce him to your neighbour. Appreciation conies from the realisation of those things obtained willi difficulty. Without frugality none can be neb. and with it very few would be poor.—.IOHNSON. If a man only could actually realise what ho anticipated, few mistakes would be made. Let justice have its free course, so did dIP meanest persons might have the benefit of it. Woman is like the reed, which bends 10 every breeze, but breaks uot in the tempest. — WHATELY. Justice is the freedom of those who are equal injustice is the freedom of those w ho are unequal. The most enlightened are the most interested in being the "best men-great talents should Ilea(i to great virtues. Change is delightful. Vet there is Tl0 friend like the old friend to whom one can say: "'Do you remember': It is curious to see how the space clears around a man of decisive spirit and leaves hint room and freedom. Almost anybody can make a rule, but only a good administrator knows when and how to make an exception. Pleasantness makes the wheels of life run smoothly; but harsh word" and ill-temper are like punctured tyres. Kindness is the golden chain by which sociery is bound together-. Let each day recotd some kind. some gracious thought. It is with wits as with razors, which are never so apt to cut those they are employed on. when they have lost their edge.—SWIFT. Recollect there are men who do not appreciate love and devotion. In order to keep their loyal affection, cultivate a studied, indifference. Idle folks have most labour. Idle men arc dead all their lives long. Idleness is the greatest prodigality in the world.—MAKCTS AVTOXIXT S. He who responds gracefully to help and "YHI pathy possesses a large heart and wide outlook. Most people grab at both. giving no sign in return. A little praise is worth a good deal of fault- finding. Criticism, like some medicines, is an admirable tDnic--adm in istered too freely, it acts as a poison. ¡ A great deal depends upon a man's courage when he is slandered and traduced. Weak men are crushed by detraction, but the brave hold on and succeed. Courtesy is a science of the highest, impor- tance. It is like grace and beauty in the body, which charm at tirst sight, and lead us on to further intimacy. Luxury is. jtist as bad for the working man as it is for the rich. There is no difference. A man. is given to luxury when he thinks more of his "havings" than of his beings.—CAxnx BARXFTT. A man passes for what he i, wort h. What he is engraves itself on his face, on his form, on his fortunes, in letters of light which all men may read but himself. Concealment avails nothing. -EMERSON-. He is good that does good to others. If he su ffers for the good he does, he is better stilt and if he suffers from them to whom he did good, he is arrived to that height, of goodness, that nothing but an increase of his sufferings can add to it: if it prove his death; his virtue is at its summit; it is heroism complete. -BRUYERE. DOING SERVICE. One man, when he has done a service to another, is ready to set it down to his account as a favour conferred. Another is not ready to do this. but still in his own mind he thinks of the man as his debtor, and he knows what he has done. A third in :1, manner docs not even know what he has done. but he is like a vine which has produced grapes, and seeks for nothing more after it has once produced its proper fruit. What more dost thou Want when thou hast done a man a service? Art thou not content that thou hast done something comfortable to thy nature, and dost thou seek to be paid for it, just as if the eye demanded a recompense for seeing or the feet for walking?—MARCT s AURELIUS. <'> A Htill K HINT. If we long to be in Much with our children, if we want to hold them by the bond of confidence and love after the perirxJ of authority has pas;wd, we must oiler .-otnei inng for the tendrils to cling ,ve f, flic, ten(lt,]Is to cliti g aiid fc,elin- iti,(-? lile of Ills LIVING I d The greatest scumc !l;r" ¡'an study is the science of living NN-itit file-t. There is no other thing that is so lax.i u. requires so much education, so much wi-d au. >0 much practice as how to live together." We are studying now to control the forces of nature, bur the of human nature are more difficult still. There is no art that is finer that! the art of being at peace with our neighbours, national and imli- vidual. NEVEIi C1VK If. People are apt to "give up" a great deal too easily. After all, if you fail in one thing, you still have life and health for something else never sit down under misfortune. Go to work at some- thing at once; above all, keep up your spirits, and you'll be up in the uorhl again. LIFE'S OBHTT. M en know how thunder and lightning como from the clotids in summer, and they want to thundpr and lighten sometimes themselves; but it is better that. the contents of the clouds should drop down in gentle rains and make something- grow. than that there should be flashing and re- sounding in the heaven, and that the oak which has been growing ten- a hundred years should be crushed to pieces and it is better, not that men should proauce a great racket in the world, and work destruction round ahout, them, but that they should create happiness among their fellow- men. A COMMON ILLUSION. Any course in life, looked at thoughtlessly, seems to offer us not only a possible but an easy career of goodness, if only we were set free from the present, which always appears to he handi- capped. Yet the easy aspect, is an illusion, and we only need to enter on the career to find that out. THE PERSONAL EQUATION. I The cultivation of a helpful spirit of cordiality, of large-mindedness, a broad, generous way of looking at things, is of inestimable advantage, not only to the growth of character, but also to getting on in the world. So much of one's suc- cess depends on the personal equation, so much upon the possession of attractive qualities, upon the personality, that the importanco of those things cannot be overestimated. There is no- thing else, for instance, which creates a good first impression so quickly, and calls out such a feeling of good will, as a frank, cordial manner -a manner that is perfectly transparent, that wnceals no guile, covers no malice; while there IS nothing else that will freeze a person so quickly as an icy, formal, suspicious manner.

At Ystrad Police Coud on ilmidav, Thomas Plenty, a haulage contractor, of Ystrad. and Ernest Jenkins, a hauher in his employ, were summoned for working a horse in an unfit state. Evidence veii by P.C. Young to the effect that oil oth May he saw a bay horse attached to a rubbish cart in Pentre. It appeared to bo in great pain, and at witness' request the animal was taken out of the cart and examined at the Ton-Pentre Police Station, w here no less than eight wounds were discovers! 1011 various parts of the body. Jenkins said that he only commenced work that morning with Plenty, whilst tbe latter I said that the animal was all right when taken out of the stables. Corroborative evidence' was given by P.S. James and — Hill, a haulier pre- viously in Plenty's employ. A second charge of working the horse a week later was also preferred against the defendant Plenty and another haulier named DriscolJ. Robert Evans-Thomas. veterinary sur- geon, called for the defence, said that he examined the mare on the afternoon of I oth May, and only found one smaU wound, which was in no way irritated bv the harness. I he animal was in a fairly good condition, and, in his opinion, quite fit to The case was adjourned to enable the magistrates to inspect the mare, and after a little delay the animal was brought to the court yard. where it was examined.

A fine of £ 2 was imposed for the first offence, and £ 3 for the second, or a month's imprisonment in each case. Plenty go to Cardiff.

At the police court proceedings on Satur- day against a number of parents for allowing their children to attend school irregularly, it was stated that 4,000 chil- dren .absented themselves from the schools of the county hist mouth.
