IdIeness.


Idleness is the nurse of all vices. Il
moves SO slowly that they all overtake it.
The Germans and Italians say, proSerbi-
ally, that "Idleness is the Devils pillow"
Some affect to excuse this hydra headed
habit by asking what harm can person
do when he does nothing? The reply is
ready and plain. He who is passive in
allowing decay is himself destroyer.
While standing still and refusing to help,
he obstructs the progress of others. We
are told in holy writ: "By much sloth-
fulness the building decayeth, and through
idleness of the hands the house droppeth
through" And again it is said: 81 went
to the field of the slothful and by the
man void of understanding, and 10! it was
overgrown with thorns and nettles which
covered the face thereof, and the stone
wall thereof was broken down." The
words of Cato, the elder, are in the prov
erb, that tone who does nothing learns
to do evil" Idleness has been described
to be moral leprosy, which soon eats its
way into the heart and corrodcs our hap
piness, while it undermines our health.
ldleness is costly, without being q luxury.
Montague always would reckon the years
account of his expenses with the follow
ing entry: "Item-for my abominable
habit of idleness, thousand livres. "
We toll for leisure only to discover, when
we have succeeded in our object, that leis-
ure is great evil. How quickly would
the working class be reconciled to what
they may all call the hardships of compul-
sorry idleness, They would quickly find
that it is much better to wear out than to
rust out. The idle man is at the mercy
of allyioes. The working man on the
contrary, finds a safeguard in lis occupa-
tion. which leaves no time for temptations
nor desire to yield to them. It vas well
said, By the Oldest Of the Greek poets,
that ..the laborer Is the sentinel Of virtue.

Bed bugga are uncommon smart in q

1t don't do emmy good to pray when
bed buggs are in season the only way to
git rid ov them is to bile up the whole
bed in aqua fortis, and then heave it away
and buy new one.
Bed buggs, when they have grown awl
they intend to, are about the size of a
bluejay's eye, and hav brown complex

arc thin az a grease spot, but when they
git thru garroting they are swelled up

It takes them days tew get the SWELL

If bed buggs have emmy destiny to fill,
