he has acted wisely in tdis case. and full
filed an amportant command of scripture.
His case has been a long one. but the first
impression being good, he embraced the
opportunity, and now has the form secure
ly locked up. We hope he will stick 10
his case. and when his first token shall he
acorI:ed of, the job finished up, the press
put in order, with blankets well adjusted,
and his bank we'll stocked, he may not
heave a sigh Of regret should lie run out
Of sortsor his supply of small caps become
inadequate to the demand.
| We are happy TO congratulate the edi.

through life be pleasant, and the UNION
prove joyous one and productive OF nlucl

friend Jedediah became disturbed by SO
much profanity and he stopped the team
and told John 10 take Tie gaod and drive
the oxen, and he'd see if he couldn't hold
the plough without swearing. John took
the OK goad and Jedediah seized the
plough handles. He placed his two legs
in a bracing position, and John drove
ahead. The plough caught root, made
bound, one of the handles hit Jedediah

clared he had never seen the like. L
