Sour Words.

t1. They indicate sour origin. They
show that the heart is in an acid state.
The hearer of such words cannot but
have his own, and not very compli-
mentary opinion of the speaker.
=. They make the speaker himself
more sour. Words react upon those
who utter them. As kind words beget
kindness, and increase the power of it
i'm the soul, so sour words increase the
bad tempter of him who uses them.
They add fuel to the fire and augment
the heat.
3. Sour words dangerously tend to
make the hearer sour. They create an
atmosphere which he breatnes, and the
virus is likely to penetrate his soul and
make him sour too. Vinegar gives its
own character to oanythingi it can reach.
So, is it not the fault of the sour i'm
heart and speech that they do not spoil
all the sweetness there is about them.
4. Sour words are all but certain to
give sourness to the eountenance. The
face is tell-tale of the heart, and the
hearts sOurness, rising to the lips in
bitter words, has wonderful power over
all the features. Look ON the counte-
nance, as its owner is using sharp and
bitter words. Do you see a smiling
June or a scOwling November?
3. Sour words are not soon forgotten.
Sharp and piercing. they enter, like
iron into the soul. As with hooks of
steel, they hang on to memory. All
that you can recollect of some people
are the sour words you have heard
them use.
Now my young friends, if sour words
Indicate sour heart, and make the
speaker more sour, and make hearers
sour, and give sour countenance, and
make ones sOurness long and painfully
remembered-there are five reasons
why such words should never be found
upon you lips. Let the last ones you
have used be the last! - SIMON.
The Columbia herald. [volume] (Columbia, Tenn.) 1850-1873, 1870-03-25
Good Rules to Remember.

Loose ideas ON the subject of business
will not answer. 1t must be reduced
to something of a science. To embark
in business without this preparatory
knowledge, il to set sail without port
and without an acquaintance with nav
igation, circumstances that insure ship
wreck.
Beneither lavish or niggarlly; of the
two, avoid the latter. A mean man is
universally despised, but public fame is
a stepping-stOne to preferment, there
fore, generous feelings should be cuiti-
waited.
Remember that self-interest is more
likely to warp your judgment than all
other circumstances combined; there
fore, look well to your duty when your
interest is concerned.
The world estimates men by their
success i'm life, and by general consent
success is evidence of superiority of
some kind.
Never, under any circumstances, as
sumo a responsibility you can avoid
consistently with your duty to yourself
and others.
Base all your actions upon a princi-
pie of right; preserve your integrity of
character, and doing this, never reckon
the cost.
Let your expenses be such as to leave
a balance i'm your pocket. Ready mo-
ney is friend i'm need.
Wine-drinking and smoking are bad
habits. They impair the mind and
pocket, and lead TO waste of time.
Education pays an annual income
for life without expense for insurance,
repairs or taxes.
Never relate your misfortunes, and
never grieve over what you can not
prevent.
Ne.er make money at the expense Of
your reputation.

The Man that Wouldn't be Hanged.
From Le Nord, of Brussels.


The following incident has happened
at Flessingue, in Holland y wife, eX-
asperated by the continual drunkenness
of her husband, threatened him with
death. Some days ago she attempted
to put this threat into execution. There
was but an attic above the sitting
room. To this she assembled, made a
hole in the floor, and passed a rope
through ii, one of which fell to the
floor below, while the other remained
fastened in the attic. She then de-
scended, made slip-knOt in the rope,
and awaited her husbands return. He
at last arrived, and was much surpris
ed to receive no reproaches on his bad
conduct. =
"1here is something undcrnand
here" thought he. ~ must see."
Wei must premise that this scene took
place in complete darkness. The hus-
band, whose suspicious were reused, let
himself fall into chair and appeared
to sleep profoundly. After some snOr-
ing he felt u rope passed around his
neck. He then understood the little
trick that was to be played him, but
did not move. His wife went up stairs
to the attic, and taking advantage of
this moments respite, the drunkarl
relieved himself of his rope and fasten-
ed it to the foot of the stove, which soon
went up to the ceiling with a frighfful
noise, caused by the falling of some
crockery which was standing upon it.
The wife, thinking the noise was
caused by the fruitless struggles of her
husband, ran to the police Office to de.
clare that she had found her husband
hung. The police arrived in hot haste,
a candle was lighted, when all started
back at the spectacle which presented
itself. The stove was swinging grace
fully in space, and the husband sat
gravely smoking his pipe. Instead of a
suicide, an attempt to murder was es-
tablished against the wife, who was
nrra-tasl

ing cat to como and eat. Finding that
the eat did not come, the animal re-
fused to eat, nor could coakine or pet

made all haste to get the animal out,
and when he did 50 the poor, faithful,
mourning friend was dead as stone.
