4 Boys Idea of Heads.

Heads are of different shapes and sizes.
They are full of notions. Large heads do
not always hold the most. Some persons
can tell what a man is by the shape of his
head. High headsare the best kind. Very
knowing people are called long. headed. A
fellow that wont stop for any thing or any
body is called hot-headed. If he is not
quite SO bright he is called soft-headed, II
he wont be coaxed nor turned they call him
pig.hoaded. Animals have very small
heads. The heads of fools slant back
When your head is cut off you are be-
headed, Our heads are covered with hair
except bald.heads There are barrel-heads,
heads-ot-sermons-and some ministers used
to have fifteen heads to one sermon-pin.
heads, heads-of.cattle, as the farmer calls
his cows and oxen; head-winds, drum
heads, cabbage-heads, logger-heads, come,
to.a.head, heads-of.chapters, hcad.him-off
head-of-the-iamily, and go-a-head-but first
be sure you are right; but the worst of al
heads are dead-heads, who hang round AZ

OSr day you will be pleased with a
a friend and the next day disappointed in
him. 1t will be so to the end and you
must make up your mind to it, aud not
quarrel, unless for very grave cause. Your
friend, you have found out, is not perfect.
Nor are you; and you cannot expect to
get much more than you give. You must
look for much weakness, foolishness, and
vanity in human nature; it is unhappy if
you are too sharp 10 seeing them.

IT is marvellous how different many
preachers are in conversation, debate, pull.
pit reading and preaching. If they would
carry their naturalness into their official
work, many whom we know as profound
scholars, charming convorsationalists, genial
humorous storytelers, would be more eflec.
tive than Guthrie and more edifying than
Beecher. But their holy tone and false
mannerism throw pail over the people aud
put them asleep, even while the most vital
truths are proclaimed.
