All her free, impulsive acting

Coral lips, c0ncealing pearls,

And her words, dropped soft and slowly,
seem half ravishing, halfholy.
A Terre Haute teacher named
Joab went out for ride and a day
of pleasure. He got it. liz at
tempting to ford q river he was
nearly drowned, and then he drove
over a steep bank six feet high,
the horse and wagon rolling over
him and nearly wrecking the whole
business. Having repaired dana
ges, he started for home, but had
not got far when he was waylaid
by highwayman. He stated his
case to the tootpad, and as he had
no money, was not robbed.
The native Partisan has ever
been an enemy to marriage. His
habits seem to tend more and more
toward solitude, the evasion of
what might be called natural du-
ties. Religion, morality and polit-
ical economy solicit his homage in
vain. Statistics show that the num-
Der of marriages is continually wa
ming, and the counsel given origi-
nally to the Romans by the Censor
Metellus might very appropriately
be addressed to the Partisan of the
present day: Citizens, said the
wise and unsel6sh statesman, 'if it
were possible for us to exist with
out women, it would be well, and
we should thus escape annoyance;
but since nature renders it as utter
ly impossible to live without them,
as it is disagreeable to live with
them, let US sacrifice the comforts
of this short life of ours to the in
terests of the republic, which is des-
tined to live forever
THE AMERICAN WHEAT CROP. -
The aggregate of the wheat crop
in the United States will probably
be less than that of 1878, which
was estimated by the Agricultural
Department at 277, 100000 bushels,
but this estimate was probably less
than the actual result. The wheat
crop of Oregon is estimated at la
test reports at 100000 bushels,
and of California at 20,000,000 CEN
tails, which estimates are probably
larger than will ultimately result.
The out turn of the winter wheat
crop in the Southern States is less
. Ia
season expected. The winter wheat
crop is moving, as indicated by the
deliveries at Detroit, Toledo, st.
Louis and Cleveland. There is but
little of the new crop OF spring
wheat moving as yet.
They have a phenomenal boy to
mind the Grand Union dining
room and hat-rack, to see that no
mistakes occur. In powers of men,
DRY and locality he beats Blind
TOm,' or the Lightning Calcutta
tor In the height of the Sarato-
ga season, with from nine hundred
to two thousand hats on his mind,
he has never been known to make
a mistake. White hats, brown
hats, black hats, SLOUGH hats, stove
pipe hats, straw hats; No. 5s, No.
SIS, No. los; hats with black bands,
magenta bands, blue bands; or
green bands, it is all the same, he
has never failed to have in his hand
the right hat for the right indlvid-
ual at the exact moment of emer-
gence from the dining-room. When
cOmplimented upon his powers of
memory be does not answer in
words, but smiles a melancholy
smile.-Saratoga Letter.
SELF DEPENDENcE.-Many an IN
wise parent works hard and lives
sparingly all his life for the, pur-
pose of leaving enough to give his
children start in the world, as it
is called. Setting a young man
afoat with money left him by his
relatives is like tying bladder I'M
der the arms of one who can not /
swim; ten chances to one he will |
lose his bladder and go to the bot |
tom. Teach him to swim, and he |
will not need bladders. Give your
child a sound education. See TO it /
that his morals are pure, his mind |
cultivated, and his whole nature
made subservient to the laws which
govern man, and you have given
HIM what will be of more value
than the wealth of the indies
You have given him start which
no misfortune can deprive him of.
