Tie Sharp Man.

The sharp man il mistaken for
the wize one, but il Just az differ.
ent from q wize one az he IL from
a honest one.
He trusts tew his cunning for sue
cess, and this IL the next thing tew
being rogue.
The sharp man IL like razor
geuerally too sharp for anything
but shave.
These men are not to be trusted :;
they are so constituted that they
must cheat somebody, and, rather
than be idle or lose a good job,
they will pitch into their best
friends.
They are not exactly outcasts,
but live close On the borders of
criminallty, and are liable tew step
over emmy time.
it IL but step from cunning to
rascality and it il a short step that
IL alwuz inyitin tew take.
Sharp men have but few friends,
and seldum confdant. They learn
to fear treachery by studyiu their
own nature.
They are always bizzy, but like
the hornet want heap of sharp
"atchings.
The sharp man is always a vain
one. He prldes himself upon his
cunning. and had rather do a shrewd
thing than a kind one.--Josh Bill

Importance of Salts in Food.

Mr.. Foster has made some inter-
esting experiments on dogs and
pigeons, which show that animals
suffer and die when inorganic salts
are altogether absent from their
food although the other nutritive
constituents may be abundant. In
all the animals tried there was a
condition of muscular weakness,
tremor, and general exhaustion.
In the dog the muscles of the pos
terror extremities, from the second
week of the experiment onward,
gradually assumed paralytic
character, as when the function of
the spinal cord is;weakened. The
activity Of the cerebrum was also
impaired, as was evident from the
bluntness of the senses and apathy
of the animal. Later on, increased
excitability often appeared; the
dogs were terrified at any quick
motion; one had a brief attack Of
madness, but soon crouched down
trembling and growing. On being
taken out, it ran forward and
knocked its head violently agains,
a wall. After the animals had
been deprived Of salts for some
time, the juices of the intestine
canal either lost their digestive
power or were not secreted in prop
er quantity, and nutrition was thu:
interferred with, Death took place
however, from the alterations in the
nervous system, before there hac
been time for it to occur from in
anition. The quantity of salt
necessary to life il smaller than
generally supposed, but the exac
amount required is still to be de
termined,

THE BETTER LANGUAGE.
Many and many year ago,
When We old folks were young,
In giving language to our t'ouGhtS
We used our mother tongue.
Bat now the age has grown SO fast
The old words are forgot,
And nothing will suffice US now
But slang that is red hot.
In those old times we never said
OF Joe or Tom or Bill,
In speaking of their penmanship,
HE sings a nasty quill
In speaking of man of sense,
/" His judgments good, they said,
But now they say, The old sardine
Has got level head"
Once angry words would lead 20 blows;
But now, when q galoot
Gives two much chin" or puts on frills,
We "paste him in the snoot"
In sorrow then they spoke of death,
With pale and trembling lip;
But now, He's 1aDueQ IN MS CAeChs,
Or, q" The duffer slipped his grip"
Then, as they grasped friendly hand,
They Sall How do you do? q .
But now, ~ hat have you got ;hat'
fresh 2"
Or, "Wen, old chap. what's ne" y
Then, He plays billiards well, we said,
or one exce!led by few;
| But now, He is not q slouch;
| He shoves a healthy cue."
Once on a time a man danced we'll
| Alas It's so no more:
He's just the boy to shake himself
When you boost him Oh the floor"
A man once used TO go to lunch
When eating time drew near;
But now he'll q wrastle with his hash.
Or, iuckle his daily beer.
Old friends at meeting used to pledge
Each other in q cup;
But it is, Here's to yer, Bill"
And, George, just hand that up"
Oh, give me back those good old days,
When both the old and young
Used none but II ne old-fashioned words,
And slang was never slung.

FIRE.
The Residence of Joseph Wood
mansee Burned.

On Tuesday evening last about five
O'Clock the Court House bell sounded
the alarm of fire. In few minutes
the streets were thronged with people
eager toknow where the fire was. The
evening mail carrier from Cambridge
announced that the farmhouse of
Joseph Woodmansee, about mile west
of this place, was on fire. Crowds of
citizens soon appeared upon the grounds
bat too late TO save the property
Everything in the building vas saved
with the exception of trunk and
bureau.
The fire originated in the kitchen
stove. we believe. Mrs. Joseph Wood
mansee had turned the damper of the
stove down and the draft drew sparks
up the chimney and from there the
house took fire. The flames were not
discovered until they had gone too far
to conquer.
The total loss, as nearly as can be as
certained at present, is between S2,OOO
and $1,000. No insurance.

anV paint in use.

1t has encountered the natural pre- judice of
the people and painters to a ne1c thing, and the
innovation of an old established way, and has
been steadily growing in the popular favor, and
the sale of it rapidly increasing year after year
until it is very generally used in large cities, on
fine residences as well as public buildings, and
by frst-class painters.
The CleueIand Chemical Paint is composed OF
pure lead, zinc and Hnseed oil, most desirable in
gradients of really good paint These are
chemically combined so that the oil cannot leave
the lead and go into the wood, as it does in the
old way, and leave it dry, peel and wash off in
few years, but hardens with the lead and zinc
on the surface, adhering firmly to it, making
FIRM, ELASTIC, WArER-PRooF Coat that will re-
main unchanged for years in fact, lasting
three times as long as ordinary paint. Its cost
lis less than pure lead and oil linked In old
way), which is unmixed and not ready for use
whereas the CLEVELAND CHEMICAL PAINT is all
ready for use, and will cover more surface than
any other paint. 1t is easily and rapidly ap>
piled by any one: and saving OF One>third in
time and labor is made in its These, when
taken into account with its great durability and
oheapness, make it, as matter of economy,
most certainly for the interest of all intending
TO paint to use it,
This very desirable paint can be had in any
quantity and in white and any desired color at
