BOYS, don't be too certain. Remember
that nothing is easier than to be mistaken.
And if you permit yourself to be mistaken
great many times, everybody will lose
confidence in what you say. They will
feel no security, in trusting your word.
Never make q positive statement without
You know 1t IS IS you say. If You have
any doubts, remove them by explanation,
before speaking confidently. Don't be too
certain!

But you said positively that you did

There is great difference between the two
answers. Do not permit yourself to make

you do, you will find the habit growing

to make loose replies to questions of great

THERE'S none that ever suits -
Or satisfies him half 80 well

With glistening copper-tips,
Has marked an era in his life
Which nothing can eclipse.
Behold him stutting to and fro
Across the parlor hoorl VS.
His cast-of shoes--the once admired
Are welcome never more.
The creaking OF those boots, to him,
Is music sweeter far
Than ever came from violin,
Piano or guitar. tt Tff

So puts him up with pride
Is, that toward manhood he has made
A great and rapid stride. 4at.ta
What's happened to his feet, he wants
The neighbors nil to know,
Aud 30, with pants inside his boots,
Out calling he must so.
They're just as fine pair, he thinks,
Az any boy has got, 81Ij eiE
And woe be INTO any one
Who dares to say they're not.

With fine and fancy suits,
But nothing else impresscs him

you; keep up your spirit, though the day

If the sun is going down, look up at the

incident lately Occurre<

A LuDICRoUs incident lately occurred
on Mississippi steamer, which we relate
as warning to those who attempt to
change the personal adornments which
nature has given them. A man who was
journeyiug to Texas with his wife thought
he would enjoy the luxury of shaving
and shampooing While this was going
on he concluded to surprise his wife, and
at his request, hair, eyebrows and whis-
kers were changed from fiery red 70
raven blackness. He FASTENED to his state
room, but was met at the door by his
spouse, outraged by the intrusion Of .
stranger as she supposed, and admittance
refused. He called himself her husband ;
she said he was an importer. He attempted
to explain. 1t was useless A crowd
gathered round, the laugh became general.
At last, In his perplexity, the hoosier ex-
claimed, "Ssllie, look at my feet!" Ono
glance at the pedal appendages assured
her. "Yes, John" she said, II know
feet They can come in, but keep that
head out Of sight" 5ssf.s
