But, had it known and loved me well,
No doubt the creature would have died.
Ny rich and aged Uncle John
Has known me long and loves me well,
But still persists in living on
l would he were young gazellel
I never loved tree or flower
But if had, beg to say,
The blight, the wind, the sun, the shower,
Would soon have withered it away.
I've dearly loved my Uncle John,
From childhood till the present hour
And yet he will go living on

Women were born, SO fate declares,
To smooth our linen and our cares;
And It's but just, for by my troth,
They re very apt to ruff1e both.

Behavior in Company.

On the subject of Behavior in Company,
Leigh Richmond gives the following excellent
advice to his daughters:
''Be cheerful, but not gigglers Be serious,
but not dull. Be communicative, but not for
ward. Be kind, but not servie. Beware of
silly, thoughtless speeches although you may
forget them, others will not Remember God S
eye is in every place, and his ear in every COM
pany. Beware of levity and familiarity with
young men modest reserve, without affecta-
ton, is the only safe path. Court and encour-
age serious conversation with those who are
truly serious and conversable; do not go into
valuable company without endeavoring to i'm
prove by the intercourse permitted to you
Nothing is more unbecoming, when one part
of company is engaged in profitable CONVEX
satlon, than that another part should be tri-
fling, gigghng, and talking comparative nom
sense to each other"
SPIRITUAL FACTS. Whiskey is the key by
which many gain an entrance into prisons and
almshouses
Brandy brands the noses of those who can
not govern their appetites
Wine causes many to take winding way
home.
Punch is the cause of many unfriendy
punches
Ale causes ailings. and beer stretches MANY
upon their bier
Champagne is the cause of many real pains.
Gin sings have slain more than the sings of
old. 1850 WV ''i"s' -
