Would to heaven that paragraphs like
the above might be found in every news
paper from Maine to Texas, and that be-
ing read by young men, the shot might
strike home, and secure permanent re-
formation. Singular it may appear, very
few men who drink to excess can be found
who do not denounce the habit in the
strongest terms--not the slightest benefit
is derived from it, yet each succee ding
year beholds many new made grave
which, but for habits Of ntoxicaton would
yet be tenantless. Ask any grey headed
resident ofNatchez to give you the names
Of his youthful associates-go with him
to the cemetery and let him point to tie
last sad resting place Of the chivalric,
brave, honorable. kind hearted youth who
now fills drunkard's grave. The infor-
nation he can give you, will chill the
heart like an Ice bolt, and then, if capable
Of appreciating the lesson be warned in
time.-NatcAez Courier. ga 7Ji mru

PetticOat SWindle.

AT Battle Creek, Michigan, the other
evening, two gentlemen and a lady-one
Of the real skirt expanders-got aboard
the cars for Chicago. One gentleman
and his wife ha through tickets, while
the other paid his fare only to the first sta
ton. From certain manifestations, Geo.
Wandles, the conductor, who is keen on
scent, concluded it was the intention of
the trio to dead head one Of the party
through. On arriving at Augusta the
gentleman did not get out, and, on search
being made, he was found secreted in the
Ladies' saloon. He was brought forth
and directed to leave the train at the next
station, but on arriving there he was not
to be found. After long and diligent
search. in which everybody became inte-
rested, it was concluded that he had leap
ec from the train while in motion. Specu-
lation was then rife as to his fate, when
gentleman sitting near the lady of big
dimensions, limited that those hoops might
there "a tale unfold" On producing a
light four feet were seen protruding from
her petticoats, which it was unreasonable
to suppose belonging to one person, and
the lady was requested to rise, which she
did after some hesitation, revealing the
lost passenger.-Exchange. fg,,t

Itwas customary then to wear buck

brought his down from the garret but
the wasp had taken possession during the
summer, and were having nice time in
them. By dint of effort he got out the
intruders and dressed for meeting.
But while reading the scriptures to the
congregation, he felt a dagger from one
Of the enraged small wasted fellows, and
jumped around the pulpit, slapping his
thighs. But the more he slapped and
danced the more they stung. The peo.
pie thought him crazy and were in com
