DANIEL WEBSTER once wrote, after
continued prevocation, to an editor
who accused him of not paying his
debts: 1t is true that have not al
ways paid my debts punctually, and
that L owe money. One cause of this
Is that have not pressed those who
owe me for pay. AS an instance of
this, enclose your fathers note, made
to me thirty years ago, for money lent

THE LIP AND HEART.

BIZ JOHN QUINCY ADAMS, Rx-PREsIDENT.
One day between the Lip and Heart
wordless strife arose,
Which was expertest in the art
His purpose to disclose.
The Lip called forth the vassal Tongue,
And made him vouch a lie; FF
The slave his servile anthem sung.
And braved the listening sky.
The Heart in vain to speak essayed,
Nor could his purpose reach;
MS VIII, nor voice. nor tongue obeyed,
His silence was his speech.
Mark thou their difference, son of earth,
While each performs his part;
Not all the lip can speak its worth
The silence of the heart.

DOES GOD LOVE LITTLE FLIES "A
little girl was rebuked for fondness
for killing flies. The little one had
acquired great dexterity in this en-
ployment, and was SO much occupied
in it that the parent found that she
was growing into state Of cruelty.-
Calling the child to her side one day,
she said i'll a sad tone, /" Mary, dear,
don't you know that God loves the
little flies ?'' Mary seemed to hear
fheaWords-as if they suggested agreat
many new ideas? She stood by. her
mothers side for some time in
thoughtful sadness, and at length
walked slowly up to the window
where bewildered fly was humming
and buzzing about on the pane. She
watched it lovingly for some time,
and, then, almost too full of grief to
speak plainly, she began to utter ca
ressing words. /" Doz ee fie know dat
bod loves 90? Doz 90 love bod p"
Here she extended her hand toward
the insect as if to stroke away the
terrer that she felt she had inspired,
" Doz 90 want to see Dod?-well,D - in
a tone OF intense love and pity, at the
same time time putting her finger on
the fly and softly crushing it against
the glass, "well, 90 shall.u

the two upper halves occasionally

BUILDERS OF THE a
Clipper Mowers & Reapers.

We call the attention of Farmers to the CLIP

have become sub builders, and ask their early
and careful examination of the Machines. This

made and tested for q mum Der of years and has
proven to be a petfect Machine and perfect
success. ~ r.. = =
The CLIPPER MOWER is, beyond question,
one of the most attractive of farm implements
IN ITS general appearance because of its well
adjusted proportions and tasteful design and
the absence of the usual heavy and clumsy
parts with which other machines are encum-
bered -
The CLIPPERS are built on the system of in
terchGnged6Le parts, a feature that is not fully
adopted i'll the construction Of any other Mower
The like parts are ec0ct DUPLICATES OF each other
and will fitany machine of the same number
THE DRAFT ATTACHMENT is a peculiar
end valuable feature of the Clipper Machine 1t
Is applied to the front-end of the frame and be-
low the pole and consequently it has a front and
upward draft SO that the inside shoe passes light
ly over the ground and the troublesome Ieatfinr
wheel in front of the shoe is not necessary
