The YOUTHFUL MIND-A straw will make
an impression on the virgin snow. Let it re-
main short time, and horses hoof can
hardly penetrate it. So it is with the youth
tul mind. A triing word may make an i'm
preston upon it, but after a few years the
most powerful al peals may cease TO influence
it. Think of this, ye who have the training
of the infant mind, and leave such an impress
sion thereon as will be safe for it TO carry

SINGULAR CAUSE OF DEATH Mr.. Lewis
Kent, son Of Dea, Seba. Kent, of Pawtucket,
Mass, died on Thursday last, from the loss
OF blood, occasioncd by extraction Of two
teeth. Mr.. Kent has been engaged for a
number of years in the western country, and
although Of natural great physical powers, he
returned home much reduced by that scourge
Of the west, fever and ague. To this fact is
undoubtedly TO he attributed the result OF a
dental operation.- - Pa0tucke Gazette.

WoRps Say not word you had better
leave unsaid. a word is little thing, we
know, but it has stirred up world of strife.
SURPRISING word has saved many char
a tcr-mary life. Who can tell the good
or bad effects produced by trifing word :?
Be careful what you say. Think before you
speak, and you will never be mortified with
yourself, or cause thrill Of pain to flash
through the heart of friend.
