The Vagabond Sage.

An old man of very active physiog.
nomy, answering to the name of JACOB
Wilmot. was brought to the Police Court
His clothes looked as though they might
have been bought second hand in his
{ youthful prime, for they had suffered
more from rubs of the world than the
proprietor himself
"h hat business 2"
"Nune; I'm traveller"
ga vagabond, perhaps 2" u
"You are not far wrong. Travellers
and vagabonds are about the same thing
The difference is that the latter travel
without money and the former without
brains?"
"Where have you +tfavfcdd2"
-fAffovefthe Continent"
"For what purpose?"
CONSERVATION"
"What have you observed?"
GA little to commend, much to cen
sure and greet deal to laugh at"
''Humph! what do you commend"
"a handsome woman that will stay at
home, an eloquent preacher who will
preach short sermons, good writer
that will not write too much, and fool
that has sense enough to hold his
tongue"
.!What do you censure7"
GA man that marries u girl for her
fine clothing, youth who studies medi-
cine while he has the use of his hands,
and the people who will elect drunkard
to Office"
''What do you laugh at?"
III laugh at man who expects po-
sition to command that respect which
personal qualifications and qualities do
not merit"
He was dismissed.

Don't Begin.

A few years ago saw pert little boy
washing tobacco leaves, and I asked
him
what are they good for p
He replied, 'Oh. they're good to make
cigars Of"
But are cigars good for anything
when they are made7'
Il don't know; I like 'em pretty
WE'LL
What pity boy of fourteen should
like cigars! Tobacco has its uses,
since nothing was made in vain, hut I
don't thsnk smoking or chewing are ts
legitimate uses. Much can be said
against these habits; very little in their
favor.
They waste time.
They annoy others.
They waste money.
They injure the health.
They scent the clothing.
They make the breath foul
They corrupt the atmosph ere.
Are not these reasons enough against
using tobacco7 And the worst of it is
they all are true. Few thoughtful, can
did persons, though they may themselves
DO victims of the habit, will deny one of
them. DR.. Franklin said he never met
man that used tobacco who advised
him to follow his example.
siUso doth breed q habit in n man."
Bad habits are easily formed,
"But when you would strip them,
'Tis being hayed alive"
Therefore, boys, don't learn to smoke.
Don't learn to like the useless indul
gence.
Keep your lips clean.
; Keep yourselves FREQ.

There are more Parker Guns in the hands of

There are three times as many Parker GUNS i'm
