Write Home,

There can be no excuse for any Young man
who never writes home, or whose letters to
ehe old folks there-whose dreams are ever of
theire son-are few and far between and not
worth much even when obtained. It is sad
to think that there are young men who let
weeks and months pass away without letter
to their parents, or their brothers and sisters.
and who, when they do write, only send line
or two. with some lame excuse for not doing
more line or two saying nothing, just con-
tanning some stereotyped statement of vague
utterances, which give no information. WHY.
the value of letter from young man to a
far-oH town or village home. consists in Me
little dettlls; its affect;onate gossip: its ac>
count of any circumstance or incident that
may have promise in it of advantage: its
story OF hopeful struggle, of dawnine sue
cess; or its references tn new formed friend
ships, to books read, churches and lectures
attended, with a thousand things besides.
which nav be small in themselves but which
show an interest in the home circle. and man.
Hest the beating of the childs heart within
the man.
1ouns men are not aware what pain they
may intilct by apparent neglect; how letters
bret and untreqnent may give rise to fear
and doubt, and occasion anxious DAYS and
"aheiu' hi9hts Now, don't neglect home
don't seem indifferent to your own family, as
it all your interests were transferred to stran.
gers: Keep the chain of communication
bright by use, and write freely and fully, with
unrestricted confidence that it may be felt
that there is neither blight on the affections
nor error in the life, which is too often the
cause of that lapse in flial or iraternal cor,
respondence which, though the result also, at
t'mes, of mere thouyh,essuess, is always un.
kind, aud sometimes cruel

Somebody wrote to the editor of paper
to ask how he would break an OK. The editor
replied as follows: eff only one OK, a good
way would be to hoist him, by means of
long chain attached to his tail, to the ton of n
pole forty feet from the ground. Then hoist
him by rope tied to his horns to another
pole. Then lower on to his back five>ton

let him start country newspaper and trust

ways will do it, WV
