paper can be put seem to be in no way
exhausted yet. Paper collars have be-
come great fact Of the nineteenth cen
tury, but what will ladies say to paper
petticoats? These have been producec
with great success, and will rival +,
every way thesnow white andelaborately
ornate garments poor male mortals are
accustomed to look upon with fear and
reverance. We have all heard of the
artist who used to make caricaturcs of
his friends upon his shirt collars. and
the author who inscribed an epic upon
a couple OF dozen Of the same useful mr.
ticle Of attire. Thus we see a field of
great usefulness for the petticoat for
the future. Young ladies can make
sketchesfrom nature on their own petit

Hot Pudding.

The students in one Of our colleges
being frequently annoyed by the noe
turnal and inquisitorial visits Of Pro
fessor, who suspected them Of playing
cards, one evening prepared u kettle OF
mus,, otherwise called hasty pudding,
and by the time 1t was boiled had seated
themselves around the table In the atti.
tiIin Of o""d playing. waiting patiently
for the well-known step of the Profess
or.
1t was no sooner heard than large
outside pocket of one Of them was forth
with flied with hasty pudding, and all
were seated rs before. As soon as the
Professor had opened the door, the stu
dent who was loaded with the mush
made a sudden sweep over the table
with his hand, as II to gather up the
cards, and with another motion appa-
rently put them into the pocket con-
tanning the mush. These movements
could not help being noticed, AS they
were intended to be, by the professor,
"hus an -
strong evidence of guilt, broke out with
the following:
"Well, young gentlemen, I've caught
you ut it at last, have II"
"Why, yes sir, We are all here"
80 see you are, and you have been
playing cards, too!'
mo, sir, it is not so"
"lt isn't, ha: What have you got in
your pocket, young man?'
Hot hasty pudding, sir"
"Hot hasty pudding, ha! hasty pud-
ding have you? I'll hasty pudding
yOu," said the Professor, at the same
time thrusting his hand half way to the
elbow into the hot hasty pudding.
The dolorous looks, the shaking of
fingers, the groaning and capcrs of the
Professor are better imagined than de-
scribcd.

Where are the respectable friends who
first helped him to wear offhis country
grcenness at select suppers.
They were perfectly shocked at such
revelations Of depravity. Who would
have thought of his turning out such Il
scamp? "What mess he has made o
1t. The fellow was fool-a weak head.
ell fool!"
Yes, he was weak headed and weak
hearted, and he tried to walk where the
strongest heads often turn; and you be-
gutled him to walk there. You laughe d
before him ut the idea of total absti-
nence. You boustcd before him Of your
manly powers Of touching and tasting
everything and never getting upset.
You united his boat, ANA helped him
paddle into the rapids, and then stood
safe on shore to see him go 1own. You
never did anything to hurt yourself! /!
No, aud you never will. But how many
will be lost by being bcguiled to do
what you can do safely, and they cannot
do at all!
Come now, boys, let us settle one or
two things rs absolute certainties when
you start in life:
He who never drinks, never will get
drunk. That's so-isn't it? He who
sometimes drinks, may be.
He who never goes into gambling
saloon never will gamble, and h. who
never CANDLES, never looses but
He who goes to observe may gamble,
and ho who CANDLES will certainly
lose.
In all these things is It not best not to
6cgin; and would not our country boy
have done better to have started with u
firm, positive No! instead Of the treach-
erous We'll sse."
He has seen, AMI seen \ great deal too
much; and, in nine cases out of ten,
that sort Of seeing ends in this
way.
Beware Of innocent beginnings In
W rong ways, and remember the old text
we started with:
"'rhere is u way that secn.eth right un-
to man, but tho end thereof are the
ways Of death.'

TIPTON, IOWA, AUGUST 10, 1869.

"I-I-I am short t-o-d-day q few
hundred dollars" stammered out Ogie
thorpe.
"Well, what's that to me?" returned
Spicer, with royuishness akin to his
nature.
"Nothing -only-but, you see, il.
hard on to o'clock-and-and-"
Oglethorpe choked aud could say nc
more.
SWELL" growled spicer, "let o'clock
come, and the quicker 1t comes tho bet.
ter for you aud all miserable fools like
you"
''Sir!" This outrage penetrated be-
yon,i the borrower and reached the man.
Ogle thorpe's cringing manner gave
way to an erect attitude, and his face ol
depressed solicitation changed its look
to one Of indignant feeling. "Sir this
is mean rs well rs cruel" he said, with
a sternness Of tone that added anger to
the others i'll nature.
''rhs truth may always be spoken, IT
it hurts 1t Is because it tells home," re-
torted Spicer, with increasing asperity
Of manner. "You are u miserable fool,
and have been playing the fool for over
a year, as all other men do who start on
worst Of all FOOLS errands-that Of bor-
rowing themselves out Of debt; man
may ,oork himself out of debt, but he
might rs well try t" empty the ocean
with an oyster shell as to borrow him
self out Of debt. There, sir you have
my sentiments, and l hope they will do
you good" g..
Without word Of reply, Mr.. Ogls-
thorpe turned away and left the house.
The truth which came from the lips Of
Spicer was sharp sword that cut away
down into the heart Of conviction.
"Yes, I am a fool!" he muttered be-
tween his teeth, ~ he strobe off. II
was fool to take a knave's advice in
the beginning, and a greater fool not to
have discovered my own folly. Three
o'clock may come now. The vain strug-
gle Is over now. The long dreaded day
Is here. am q ruined mani"
Just two thousand dollars worse off
was Mr.. Oglethorpe than when he be-
gan the task Of trying 10 borrow him
self out Of debt. Neglect Of business
and excessive interests were the causes
that produced the result. But his cred
itors were not hard upon him. They
knew the man to be honest at heart,
and pitied his misfortunes. Full time
to ,uork himself out Of trouble was grant
ed and he did ,vork himst II out, though
it cost him years Of active devotion to

At Last.-A story for bows.

Mrs. Stowe in the last Hearth and
Home concludes her "Four Scenes in
the Life of a Country Boy, who went to
the city," with the following scene, and
moral:
At last! at last! There are precipices
at the end of the rapids, in such courses
as 'our boy has been running, more
dreadful than Niagara.
Better, far better the short agony oi
that wild race down the roaring rapids,
and that one dizzy plunge, that finishes
all, than those worse plunges that de-
stroy all that a young man has to hope
for in life, yet leave him living.
There are dreadful hours when men
live only because they cannot die.
What weeks of bewildering wretched-
ness this poor fellow has been through
with since we saw his haggard. eager
face at the gaming table!
Since then he has been desperately
striving to regain his foothold, but
striving, alas in that false, treacherous
way that the devil opens to those he
would betray. He is hopelessly involv-
ed. and the tempting whisper is ever at
his ea : 'mn, aud pay back! One
fortunate throw may redeem all. He
hears among the lobby members Of the
gambling house Of those who have won
dazzling piles Of money after hard runs
Of i'll luck. He is a teller in bank,
and tempting opportunities offer every
day to take the money that will give
him one more chance. Not to steat-no
indeed-but to borrow Did the devil
ever ask we'll brought up youth to
steal? Not he simply to borrow enough
to turn his luck with. and he will put it
all back before the time for settling ac-
counts. Borrowing of the bank, he
calls it; and he curses with hard words
the false friends that will not help him.
Nobody cares for him, he thinks, and
he must care for himself; and SO, from
time to time, he keeps on borrowing.
He could not stand this kind of life were
it not for his daily drinks Of brandy.
That makes things look brighter and
more hopeful, and duIls his senses to
the roar of the approaching cata-
ract.
But the time Of settlement of bank
accounts is coming, and still his luck
does not turn. Pray to God!-he dare
not and the devil only laughs ut his
cries. He thinks of the agonies of de-
lection, of the shame aud disgrace i'm
pending. What shall he do? Tn,

Well, what If she did. Why not haul
