KEEP YoUR SABBAru.-Be jealous on
this point Whether you live in town OF
country, resolve TO profane your Sabbath,
and in the end you will give over caring for
ycnr soul. The steps which lead 10 this are
regular. Begin with not honorin0 Gods
day, and YOU will not honor Gods house
cease to honor Gods book, and by and by
you will give God no honor at all. Let any
one lay the foundation with no Sabba.I.
and | am never surprised if he finishes with
the topstoae of no God. 1t was remarka-
bic saying Of Judge Hale that of all per-
sons convicted Of capital crimes while ho
was upon the bench, and he found not a
few who did not confess that they began
their career of wi, kedn.ss by neglect of the

CoScEALED WEApoNs.-Thee are two
things which gentlemen never do; one is
writing anonymous letters; the other is car
rying concealed weapons. OF course, there
are occasions when man. know ing that he
is to be attacked, may fairly carry weapons
which he does not display. But no gentle
man habitually secretes knives and pistols
about his person, unless he lives among saw
ages or wild beasts.
The reasons for this are obvious. 1t is
an entirely unfair advantage, not only phys.
ically, but morally for man will not be
likely TO restrain his tongue or his temper
when he knows that he has the means of
effectually silencing his opponent--and
knows also that his opponent cannot posi-
bly be aware of that fact. 1t was all fair
and right enough when every gentleman
openly wore his sword at his side. Certain
ly, it was bad enough then, but there was
nothing concealed. But TO hide your knife
and pick quarrel, or to engage in quar-
rel, knowing that you have knife hidden,
is as bad as inviting your enemy to drink
wine which you have poisoned.
Decent society is not possible upon such
terms. We are all so purely unchristiau
and petulent, that anything which serves to
unbridle our, tongues and loose our wrath,
as concealed weapons inevitably do, post
pones and postpones any happier day.

THE Fairfield Herald says Of the crops:
"Com, instead Of being three feet high,

THE LAW OF THE FISGER Rrya.-If d
gentleman wants wife, he wears ring on
the first finger of the left hand if he is en-
gagged, he wears it on the second finger; if
married, on the third; and on the fourth, IL
he never intends to get married. When
lady is not engaged, she wears a diamond
ring on her first filger; if engaged, on tho
second if married, on the third and on the
fourth, if she intends to be maid When
gentleman presents fan. flower, or
trinkets to lady, with the left hand, this,
on his part, is an overture of regard should
she receive it with the left hand, it is con.
sidered as an acceptance of his esteem; but
if with the right hand, it is refusal Of the
offer. Thus, by few simple tokens, ex-
planned by rule, the passion of love is ex-
pressed
