Foibles Of Human Nature

The "Faet aod Fancy" man of the Boston Transcript claims (o have noticed : Thatthe Latin language ia a prime uecessity in common programa. That without it the apothecary would be unable (perhaps) to sell coiumon salt, charcoal, and elm bark at a liundred per cent. profit. That everybody uan read Latin readily, save two classes - those who never studied it and those who have finished studying it. That a mother with a lively boy resem bles nothing in nature so much as the hen with a duckling. That it is arausing to see her worry and fret while the little imp goes through an illimitable program without sceming to remember that rubber balls and small boys are made for knocking around. That everybody has bis peculiar sphere of eminence. Tbat the great worker cannot be expected to be a great talker, nor the great talker a great worker. That, at any rate, the two attributes are seldoin combined in the same person : but That ina.srnuch as the great talker believes himself to be also a great worker, he is, without doubt, just as contented with himself as f he were the greatest of' great workers. That most men so Iove work that tbey put off all they can till to-morrow, that they may never be out of the employment they so much delight in. That few men care to put off their eating and drinking; which shows them more provident in the matter of working thanin eating. That some men are so enamored of work that they will stand aud watch anotber labor, forgetling forhournall thoughtsof self in thoir enchantment.
