The Manitowoc tribune. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1866-1878, 1874-02-03

Whatever fortune may be made by
perjury. we believe there never was a
man who made fortune by swearing !;
for 1t seldom happens that they are paid
for it. Does any man receive promotion
because he is an expert in profane swear
ing?
Inexcusable, therefore, must be the
practice which has neither reason or pas
sion to support it. The drunkard has
his cups; the 1echer his mistress the
satirist his revenge; the ambitious man
preferment,; the miser his gold but the
common swearer has nothing; he sells
his soul for naught and dr11dges in the
service of the devil gratis. Swearing Is
void of all plea, it is not the offspring OF
the soul. not interviewer with the texture
Of the body, nor any way allied to our
frame. For, as Tillotson expressed 1t,
Though some men pour out oaths as II
they we're natural, yet no man was born
of swearing constitution.
Not long since, at Sunday School, the
teacher, after trying hard to impress on
the minds of class of small boys the SIN
of Sabbath breaking, asked, SIS Sunday
better than any other day?'' when the
smallest boy in the class answered: "You
bet your boots it Is. :"
It was one of the numerous Beecher
family who used to pray, go Lord keep
us from dispising our rulers, and keep
them from acting SO that we cant help
it.
A Green Bay woman, whose husband
kicks her down stairs every second night,
saws she likes to look over his old letters
commencing with "My dearest, darling,
little angel, Minnie, heaven alone knows
the depth OF my love for you.

AN Albany genius has patented an In
vention for making seamless paper boxes
from the pulp. They are much stronger.
and may be used for much greater va
riety of purposes than when put together
in the old way. We have paper flour
barrels, and why not paper dry-goods
boxes, lighter. cheaper and handsomer.
And this is reminder that the Chinese
and Japanese are capable of giving our
people great deal of usefal instruction
in the manufacture Of paper of a suita-
bic consistency for many household pur-
poses of utility as we'll as orDamentation.
for which we are at present using wood
and metal. It's extensive use for the
manufacture of clothing in this cold, wet
climate will probably never obtain; but
in the dry warm Southern States there
seems no reason why it should not in
some degree supercede cotton and linen

and asked if any there were who doubted
his statement. He sloshed around con-
siderably during the evening, and by dint
of suavity and tcrror-each applied as
circumstances demanded-he succeeded in
loading himself with nectar, ere the mid
night hour. Then he girded up his loins
and declared his determination to start a
corpse factory, but in order that his vic
Tins might know who they had the honor
of being slain by, he thought proper to
offer explanation, and in SO doing carried
on a sort Of informal dialogue, asking the
questions with formal and grave earnest
ness, and answering with cunning light
ness, thus: = Who. was it inaugurated
the graveyard at Rocky Bar, because a
barkeeper refused him drink Guess it
was Cemetery SAM $ Who was it
caused the first orphan asylum to be
started in Montana? Cemetery Sam was
the feller.' "Who was it made a public
administrator rich in Eastern Oregon
I'm mistaken if it was Mt Cemetery Sam" "
's Who was it that-'' Here some one
present who evidently thought the thing
was becoming monotoneus, snote Sam
heavily, and the latter fell. When he
arose, he continued the monologue by
asking: Who was struck by lightning
just now? If my memory serves me
right, it must have been Cemetery Sam. y

Max Adeler says: They had funeral
over at Pencaddef Hundred the other day,
at which happened to be present. After
an affecting discourse by the minister to
the friends of the deceased, who were gath

THE LINK BETWEEN.

BY HOWARD GLYNDoN. -
JUsr before go to sleep,
Whispering unto God yOuF name,
Pause wondering If for me
You are doing just the same.
This promised unto you,
When we two sat side by side;
/ with all regretful eyes
Opened on You sad and wide.
Far-off sounds of4aughter come
Family through the open door;
We but thought that each should look
On the others face NO more.
And how dear was to you
1 could measure by the pain
That o'eFfiowed me when thought,
1--WE shall never meet againio f
But hushed my heart, and said,
Looking firmly in your eyes; "i 3
'One thing can do for you,
Though / am not oYerwise.
will take your name to God, /
AS a surety, every night,
For your safety, and with Him
Help to keep your memory bright" /"
Standing up. you took my hand
Yours was cold as any stone
You said: s'Oh, how hard to part
And be evermore alonei s.
"But, if nightly thoughts may cross, ~
Travellers 'twixt you and me,
Comforted, little space,
Shall each exiled spirit beIP
Every night say your name,
Softly, piteously to God;
would turn my face your way,
But the world is very broadl
And wonder, half asleep,
While try your eyes to see,
If your heart is with me there
II you send thought to me!

The alleged virtues of madstones are
fliscrelited by scientific men. The only
efficacy they can have is that of being I'M
perfect cupping- glasses. they being gener-
ally porous coralites which will adhere to
a raw wound. Still, the Lynehburg tva:)
RepubEiears tells story which is import
ant. if true. A Virginian, whose name IL
gives, was lately bitten by moccasln
Snake, and before he could get any means
of help his bitten leg was very much s sWol- y.
threatening t1r to be fatal. A maidstone was
smiled m to the wound, and seemed to suck
Il t6e poison from it; the leg soon resumed
it's natural size, and the uneomfortahle
symptoms s1 disappeared. 1t is curious that
the belief in madstones exists IN the East
indies as well as in this country, and
many marvellous tales are told OF their orr
gin.

An important vote was taken IN the Frencn
Assembly on the sth, being upon resolution
expressing confidence in Marshal MacMahon
and resolving "energetieally to uphold the
septennial powers conferred upon him." The
motion was rejected by a vote of 301 yeas to
1858 nays. Immediately after the adjourn
ment of the Assembly Cabinet council was
held, at which the Ministers rendered their
designations. President MaeMahon peremp-
torily refused to accept them, and the Minis
try remains constituted as before. The Pres
ident will send a message to the Assembly in
few days, it is stated, in which he will an-
nounee his determination to retain the pow

by law, and will insist on the necessity for

a Woman's Cold Feet.

Mrs. Battles suffers from cold feet,
and the other night she warmed up a
brick, intending to take it to bed with
her. She laid it down by the bed
while she attended to the baby ana
then forgot about it and turned in.
After while Battles came over to the
bedroom, and when he had assumed
his night-shirt, he began to say his
prayers. When he was about half
through he happened to move his
Knee little to the left, and it came in
contact with the brick For an in
slant he thought that something had
stung him, and jumping UP he came
back to ascertain what it was. He
saw the brick lying there, but it never
occurred to him that this was the
cause of the trouble. So he picked it
up for the purpose of throwing it out
of the window. Then he suddenly
dropped it with cry of pain, and
after an indignant denunciation of
Mrs. Battles he procured piece of
paper and in Il furious rage hurled the
brick through the window-sash 1t
hit policeman who happened to be
standing on the pavement below, and
in less than ten minutes Battles was
on his way to the station house, where
he was locked up all night on charge
of assault and battery. He was re-
leased in the morning, after paying
twenty dollars fine. He has not fin
ished his prayers yet, and Mrs. Bat
ties now warns her feet with flannel
petticoat.
