The R~v. rfoK^a Brown, a Methodist minister, stopped one night at one of the hotels in Ann Arbor and' inquired if he could Uiaye a room and a Lfed to liimsolf. The barkeeper told htm.be could, unless they should be so full as to. render it necessary to-.]mt another roan-itt bed with him. ,At an sulj hour the reversnd gentleman : vant tp his room, locked the door. ; and soon retired 16 his bed and Bunk into a comfortable sleep. Along toward midnight he was aroused from his slumber by loud knocking at his door, " Hallo ' you, there 1" he cried, " what do you want there now !" particular stress on the last word. 1 " Yon must take another lodger, wir, -with you," said the voipe of the landlord, " What! another yet)" " Why.yes; there is only one in here, is there" not J" * One ! why here is Mr: Brown, and a" Methodist minisTer, and my self, already, und' I shonld think thai enough for one led, even in Michigan." The landlord seemed to think so,i too, and left ?the trio to their re pose, ; ^ . Tbonsbts for Saturday Xight Life becomei useless nnd insipid when we have no longer neither friends or enemies. An abl& man shows his spirit by gentle words and resolute actions; he is neither hot nor timid, -Friendship is the medicine for all misfortunes, biijs ingratitude dries up the fountain of all good ness. -'-" >An inclination toward still sit ting comfort nestles in a man ; like a grea^ do; he lets himself be prick ed and ; teased a thousand times rather than Like the trouble -"to jump up in liea of growling.

How much higher aiid nobler the aim of a Christian who is living for all eternity -toiling for a crown of everlasting life ! Djatlfis the wish of some, the relief of many, and the end of all. It sets the slave at liberty, carries the b-iiiished man home, and places ': ,ali' men on the same level, inas much that life itself would be a punishment without it. "You are well off when you are in -i healthy, neighborhood, with .enough to.eat and drink, a com- forta'ble, welt ventilated apartment to sleep in, and you are paying all your expenses and laying up some thing for a rainy day, and in addition to all this, acquiring knowledge and strength ening) your tharae^r. Young men whoae situation combines all the preceding advantages should bo. cautious about exchanging such ta" certainty, unless it bo for another certainty; Happiness does not de pend upon great wealth so much as it does ripon independence and in- teliectTial and moral culture. Words of Wisdom* We incrt-ase our wealth, when we lossen .our desires, It is a fraud to borrow what Wo are not able to repay. Ad vise not what is more pleasant, but what is most useful. You can't get nnything in this world -without, money, somo hay1; hut this is not true, for. without money you can got into t&bt. " Better is the poor jman that walketh in iiitogrity," and payeth his subscription, than the rich man who continually telloth tbo " devil' to call again. There is no elasticity in a! mathe matical ; fact; if you bring up against it, it never yields hairs breadth; everything must go. to jucces that comes in collision with it. . . - Shabby gentility Las nothing so characteristic as its hatr there: is always an unnatural calmness about its nap, and .an unwholesome gloss, suggestive of a wet brush. l>To man will hate a good man so much as he has ill-treated him. Lat a man whom yon have injured hate .you, and there is an end to his enmity. Reparation frank and full puts on end to his hard feel ings toward you, and even lays the foundation to :a protracted friend ship. But. let a man hate you without a cause, save such ns his envy or bigotry, cr vanityaupplies, and his bate is endless.
