- How TO MAKE A PARA
DIsE.-A lady correspondent of
the Pennington Mo- Herald fur
nishes that paper with the follow
ing receipt for making a paradise:
'Buy one acre of ground. Fence
it. Build a. neat cottage on it.
Marry an angel in hoops and take
her home to the cottage. Go
home to the cottage yourself. Alb
stain from all villainous drinks.
Join he church and become q
Christian, live upright before God
and man, and you have gained
all the original happiness that
has survived the fall"
Perhaps it would be as well to
change the programme so far as
to become a Christian before you
join the church, although that
may not be essential.

A PosER.-A sensible writer
asks why, if the negroes are SO
badly treated in the South, they
do not go to the North. The in.
stinct of the negro would carry
him to a country where he would
be better treated, as the flight OF
birds from a colder to a warmer
climate is regulated by the charge
Of seasons. The fact that the ne
groes cling to the South in spite
of alleged cruelties here, and pro,
fessed friendship there, is full OF
significance.
