I have spent great deal of sarching, and
[ sum money, tew find out who was the fusi
WHISTLER, but up to row am just as un-
civilized on the subject as I waz.
l kan tell who played on the fust juice
harp, and who beat the fust tin pan, and
kno the year that the harp of thousand
strings waz discovered in, but when whissel-
ling waz an infant IL az hard for me az tew
say mi prayers in 10 dutch.
Whisselling is wind instrument, and IL
done by pickering the mouth, and blowing
through the hole
There amt no tune on the whole earth
but what kan be played on this Instrument,

Crate thinkers are not apt tew be good
whlssellers, in fakt, when man kant think
ov nothing, then he begins tew whissell.
We seldom see a raskal who is good
whisseller, thare il a CRATE deal of honor

Good whissellers are getting skarse. rs
years ago they waz plenty, but the desire
tew get ritch, or tew hold oAiss, haz took
the pucker out of this honest and cheerful
amusement.
If had q boy that couldn't whissell, i
don't want to be understood that feel at
liberty tew give the boy up for lost, but
would much rather he would kno how tew
whissell fust rate than kno how tew play a
second rate game Of wist.
But want it we'll understood that am
the last man on rekord who would refuse
woman a chance to whissell if she woz GER
tain she had the right pucker for it.
l never knu good whisseller but what
bad good constitution. Whisseling il
composed of pucker and wind, and these two
accomplishments denote vigor.
[ don't want any better evidence of the
general honesty thare IL in whissell than
the fakt that thare amt nothing which dog
will answer quicker than the whissell of his
master, and dogs are az good judges of hon
esty az emmy critter thatlve.
I amt afraid to trust any man for small

INFLUENCE OF A NEWSPAPER. "A school
teacher, who has been engaged long time
in his profession, and witnessed the influence
Of newspapers on the minds Of family of
children, writes as follows:
II have found it to be the universal fact
without exception, that those scholars, OF
both sexes, and all ages, who have access to
newspapers at home, when compared with
those who have not, are better readers, ex.
cellent in pronunciation, and consequently
read more Understandings. They are bet
ter spoilers and define words with ease and
accuracy.
"They obtain practical knowledge OF
geography in almost half the time it requires
others, as the newspaper has made them
familiar with the location of the most i'm.
portant places, nations, governments and
doings on the globe.
"They are better grammarians for hav.
ing become 40 familiar with every varie ty
of the newspaper, from the commonplace
advertisement to the finished and classic ora
ton Of the statesman, they more readily
comprehend the meaning of his text, and
consequently analize its construction with
accuracy"

A sweet red rose, and put it in her hair

So keep the flower, nor faith and patience lack,

And as she kissed him. softly, sweetly said
Dear love, when once again the summer glows
I'll come again to claim my sweet, wild rose
And when come-oh ,longed for hour OF biiss
I'll take my rose and give you back your KISS

And she, as women will, lived on his words;

She trusted him,
And he. AS men will do, with roses decked
The heads Of other snxidens; he was wrecked
On coral reefs of redder lips. At last
Came with fresh roses, memories of a Past,
A red rose and kiss. All me his VOW,
That then was bliss, seemed such tyrant now.
But when he came
To take again his pledge, she lay at rest,
The bit of faded bloom upon her breast;
She was asleep, the sweet eyes in eclipse.

In journeying along the Road Of Lite, it
is wise thing to make our fellow travellers
cur friends. The way, rough as it may
seem, may be pleasantly beguilod with an
interchange of kindly offices and pleasant
words. Suavity and forbearance are essen

one need expect to pass pleasantly through
lifo who does not habitully exercise them in
his intercourse with his fellows. The Isma-
lite, whose hand is against every man, may
die in ditch without finger being stretch

rudely jostle and shoulder our neigbbors =
Why tread upon each others toes? The

BEAUTIFUL ALLEeoRY.-C ritteuden, of
Kentucky, was at one time engaged in de-
Tending man who had been indicted for a
capital offence. After an elaborate and
powerful defense, ne closed his effort with
the following striking and beautiful allego-
ry:
"When God in His eternal council con-
ccived the thought Of mans creation, He
called to Him the three ministers who wait
constantly upon the Throno-Justice, Truth
and Mercy, and thus addressed them =
"shall we make man p Then said Justice +:
80, God, make him not, for he will tram.
pie upon Thy laws" Truth made answer
also: 30, God, make him not, for he will
pollute Thy sanctuaries." But Mercy,
dropping upon her knees, looking up through
her tears exclaimed 80, God, make him ;
[ will watch over him with my care through
all the dark paths which be may have to
tread" Then God made man and said to
him: 80, man, thou art the child Of Mercy ;
go and deal with thy brother"
The Jury, when he finished, brought in a
verdict of not guilty.
