SPIILING SALT was held to be an unlucky
omen by the Romans, and the superstition has
descended to ourselves. Leonardo da Vinci
availed himself of this tradition in his famous
Judas Iscariot by the salt-cellar knocked over
accidentally by his arm. Salt was used in
sacrifice by the Greeks and Romans, and also
by the Jews, and is still made use of in baptism
by the Roman Catholic clergy. 1t was an
emblem of purity, and of the sanctifying infu-
ence on others of holly life; hence our Lord
tells his disciples, "Ye are the salt of the
earth. The salt being split after it was placed
on the head of the victim was considered a bad
omen, being supposed to signify that the sac
ritce was not accepted; and hence the super
stition.

Scared,

Only little wiser, perhaps,
Yet somewhat sadder, too;
Tis always sad to awake and find
pleasant dream untrue.
To find that lips had loved you well,
But Heart stood coldly by,
Nor rocked that the white hand trembled So
Or the lid of the well-taught eye.
Still she did all she had to do.
I'll blame her not, not 1;
She was merely acting Woman
In the drama of A Lie!
Yet tits from this part of Woman,
That one all simple now,
First learns to forget to be true in love,
To smile at the broken VOW
Say then fhe see it often played
Seems it so passing strange
That heartless love seem sweet enough,
That he care not now to changer
Hheart be thing so hard to fnd
That he rest from his search while,
Content to be woOed by the brightest eye
Or TO bask in the sunniest smileP
No, she must learn that heart once scared
Or dies in its cold proud pain.
Or is healed by the smile of as false as she,
But never by hers again.
Yet she does all she has to do
I'll blame her not. not 1;
She is merely acting Woman
In the drama of A Lie!

TRUE.-The following from an exchange is
" as true as preaching :"
There are very few men in any community,
who do not think they could make better
newspaper than they ever yet saw published.
Hence men who cannot spell six consecutive
words right, and could not construct a sentence
properly any more than they could monitor,
are anxious to run into print and "start pa
pei" The higher up such men climb, the
more they resemble the monkey who elevated
himself on pole.
Editing local newspaper is very much like
making a morning fire, everybody supposing
he can do it little better than somebody else,
but would rather see some one else do it. In
our experience, we have known persons to
doubt their fitness and capability for various
occupations such as picking rags, peddling
clans, handling manure, or attending sawmill;
but we rarely meet with person who does not
think he could increase the interest and patron
age of newspaper in few weeks. We have
in our mind eye no less than hundred of
such chaps. How we should like to see them
put in the traces" and undertake it, and be
compelled to g face the music " and subjected
to the hows and curses attending They would

CARELESS BUSINESS MEN.-It is impossible
for man to be careless in his business affairs,
or unmindful Of his business obligations, with
out being weak or rotten in his personal char
acter. Show me man who never pays his
notes when they are due, and who shunS the
payment Ofhis bills whenitis possible, and does
both things as habit, and | will show you a
man whose morals are beyond all question bad.
We have had illustrious examples of this lack
of business cxactness. We have had great men
whose business habits where simply scandulous
who never paid their bills unless urged and
worried, and who expended for their personal
qualification every cent Of money they could
lay their hands upon. These delinquencies
have been apUlogized for as among the excen-
tricities of genius, or as the unmindfulness of
small affairs which naturally all greatness of in
teect and intellectual effort; but the world has
been easy with them altogether. could name
great men-and the names of some of them
arise before the readers of this letter-who
are atrociously dishonest. Icare not how many
admirable traits they possess. | am ready to
believe anything bad of a man who habituay
neglects to fulfill his business obligations. Such
a man is certainly rotten at heart He is not
to be trusted with the public responsibilities,
a rum bottle, or a woman.-Dr. Holland.
