NOTE. We hope our readers will ex
cuse this talk about ourself, but enc Ia
to begin somewhere and say something
to get their voice in tune.

Inference. The milk of human kind
ness percolates through our heart will
greater ease; or the attenuated condition
of the outer covering Of our souls permits
greater access of feelings ofgood will
that is: the extreme paucity OF our brain
does not allow us to harbor such i'll feel
ings as are manifested by the Rev. Gent
before mentioned.

We have friend his name is, well hi.
nome de gasere is the God of Flours, he is
chock full of eloquent geological facts and

be fabricated with what he calls Asphal.
tum, or again, Petroleum by which we
mean oil of rock.
Unfortunately our friends organs ofvis-
ION are made wrong; they seem to come
very near looking the wrong way, that is,
he has to put everything quite close to the
upper part of the nasal protuberance that
he may know what it is. We have shud-
eled with fear lest by some accident bis
sight might be turned quite the other way,
and he have peep at his own BRAIN
Well, our friend is near sighted. In
mind he is very reflective, giant thoughts
struggle within. The world in it's many
phases is plaything in bis hand, and he
imbibes decoction of Young Hyson with
wonderful and sublime indifference.
One Fall, tit don't make any difference

right to as many falls as | can get, per-
suaded by the representations ofour friend
we concluded to accompany him on a
Tour of three fourths of milo to see an
"outcropping in the rock filed with the
remains of animals" We complied with
his request the more willingly, that we
might listen to the earnest and instructive
monologues in which he is so apt to in
dulge on such occasions.
Weather clear. Ground icy. Equip
ments, bag and pick-axe. In addition to
these we carried some '.jerked beef" for
the purpose of exercising our jaws with
out interfering with our friends peculiar
mode of carrying on Dialogue. We
started off on that half-walk half-slide
step which is accepted on icy ground all
over the face of the earth. On our way
we came to brook, here G. stopped with
sudden jerk brought his pick-axe en-

clear ice which held the blue waters from
offthe muddy bank, robbed now of flags
and flowers by the frosts of early winter
whats that, Oliver said lie.
We may say that we examined the Oh
ject there pointed out, long and critically
and after due deliberation pronounced i
to be cabbage leqf:. G. with sigh o
relief, removed all extra tension from thu
various muse es which for SO long a time
had kept his body and moro particularly
his head in precisely one position.

a shear-like movement to his lower limb
was six feet from us with pick axe in plac

There is much to admire in this know
