Doas.-This communi ty is blessed with anyI
number of dogs, from grave to gay from lively
to serens-from squeaking ours to brindle bulls !
from bowling pups to black and tans. genu
inc famine among these worthless ours would be-
welcomed by many citizens whose sleep Is dis 1
turbed by their never ending yelpings Mayl
their ..barks'' soon sink to rise no more
STAMPS ON CHEcKs.-Many people have mis-
taken idea in regardsto the stamp tax on checks
The new law does not in any way affect this tax
and two cent stamp must be attached to all
checks the same as heretofore. Many have OBJ
tanned the idea that this tax has been repealed,
but in this they are wrong. Recollect and stamp
your checks.
ALL IS VAN1rY-As we travel the downward
declivity of human existence our thoughts turn
instinctively to the Elusive joys of earth, and we
are ready to exclaim tits pity beauty's form
should crumble like clay that the golden curls
of youth should be silvered over by times de-
caying finger that the flashing eyes should be
dimmend by tears and lose their lustre, and that
the friends who now strew flowers in our path
way should greet us coldly when fortunes brow
lowers upon u.s.
: Do not be above your business; he who turns
up his nose at his work, quarrels with his
bread and butter. He is poos smith who quar-
rels with his own sparks there is no sham
about any honest calling; don't be afraid of
soiing your hands-there is plenty of soap to-
be had All trades are good to traders. YOU
cannot get honey if you are frightened at bees,I
nor plant corn if you afraid of gettingI
mud on your boots. When you can dig fields
with tooth pick. blow ships along with fans,
and grow plum cakes in fowerpots, then it will
be fine time for dandies.
THE ED1ToR.-If ii were not for writing edl-
toras whether he feels like it not, the festiye
life of the editor would not be SO bad after ALL
He scratches his head, looks out the window, pa
. 8 the floor, and with his huge scrap-book be-
fore him, his authorities properly arranged, lit-
tie volumes scattered around "golden extracts
spread out in rich profusion, and his table Gov
cred with numberless exchanges, yet there is TIT
impossibiliy of making suitable beginning
and his pen quivers in his fingers. But notwith-
standing all this he seizes the quiyerng pen, and
with disdain of theological bias unsectariar
spirit, dashes off a ssleader" with an innocent;
artessness and graceful self consciousness tru-!
w refreshing To please all lie must be gayl
volatile, chatty, reserved, dignifed, COURTHOUSE
original, as he is considered too much man of
the world to fetter his contributions with DID,!
familiar quotations Who wouldn't be an editor 4
FAMILY MEDIcINE.--We call the special at
tenton of our readers to the advertisement of
that favorite home emedy, Perry Davis PAIN
KILLER. 1t has been before the public over thir-
ty years. and probably has wider and BETTER
reputation than any other proprietary medicine
of the present day. At this period here are but
few unacquainted with the merits of the PainI
Killer; but while some extol it as linment, !
they knew but little of Its power in easing paini
when taken internally, while others use it in
ternally with great success, but are equally ig-l
nally We therefore, wish to say to all that it isl
equally successful whether used internally or;
externally, and it stands day. unrivalled byI
all the great catalogue of Family Medicines;
It is sufficient evidence Of its virtues as stand
ard medicine, to know that it is now used I'M
all parts of the world and that its sale is con
staatly increasing. No curative agent has hadI
such widespread sale or given such univer- i
sal satisfaction. 1t is a purely vegetable com
pound, and perfectly safe, even in unskillfuli
hands.
MArRIMoNY.-Dont be alarmed, ladies, it isl
not our province on the present occasion to en- \
ter the list as defenders opposers Of this anc
ent institution, which has charm about it that
delights all who have not tried it, and some who;
have; nor do we intend to give extended
