Oh, no more he'll shoot his sister with his little
wooden gun,
Aud no more he'll twist the pussy's tail, and
make her yowl for fun;
| The pussy's tail now stands out straight the
! gun is laid aside,
The monkey doesn't jump around since little
! Willie died.

-InfideI scoundrels in a Missour
congregation, hearing that the colIec-
/ aons made by a deacon were invariably
short, examined his hat, and found it
covered with shoemakers' wax inside.
=" No Getting appuls in school ours"

"A Milwaukee chap kissed his girl
about forty times right straight along,
and when he stopped the tears came
into her eyes, and she said in a sad tone
of voice: "Ah John, I fear you have
| ceased to love me-" d" No I haven't, "
replied John, but I must breathe"
"A LITTLE girl at school read thus
"The widow lived on a small limbacy
left her by a relative" s. What did you
call that word ?" asked the teacher,
the word is legacy, not imbacy."
But, said the little girl, "my sister
says must say limb, not leg"
Norway has voted $40 900 in silver
toward representation at the centennial,
and Belgium 200, 900 francs, and Portu-
gal has informed President Grant that
she /. tends joining the centennial circle.
The foreign governments are coming
steadily into a recognition of the great
American fair. England, France and
Germany Will all be there in splendor.
Tho alarming increase in the de-
structiOn of sheep in America may per-
haps be traced to the fact that 800, 900
worth of blooded dogs have been
brought from England to this country
within the past two years. The Eng
ish, it is said, preserve the pedigrees of
these costly nuIsances as carefully as
they do the pedigrees of their nobility,
another costly nuisance.
1t is suggested that for purposes of
Identification (of criminals) IL is only
necessary to get a distinct photograph
of the palm OF one hand, taken III a

the markings strongly. This will be
found a map, If is said, never alike IN
two persons no disguise short of ac-
tual Disagreement will do away with
the difference.
Brigham Young has peculiar
notions. In the recent Mormon con-
ference he said Sc I am opposed to free
schools. Children should be educated
under the care of their parents, and
parents should labor and pay for that
educution. All the education a child
wants is to fit him to get his own living.
In the prisons, gambling shops, and
other dens OF lnfRmy, you see the re-
suits of the education of children IN
the free schools and away from the care
of their parents"
The Honolulu (Sandwich IsIands)
Gazette says a violent snow storm visit
ed Hawaii on the d of March, covering
the three stately SUBMITS of the three
mountains of that island. On the low
lands il rained very hard, and the
lightning played brilliantly over the
island, followed by incessant and ter
rife claps Of thunder. The next morning
a grand and beautiful sight was pre-
sented-the most beautiful ever seen
in that regiOn-three mountains cap
ped with snow In the tropics.
To understand the world is wiser
than to condemn it. To study the
world is better than to shun it. To use
the world Is nobler than to abuse it.
To make the world b tier, IOvelier and
happier is the noblest work of man or
woman. There are many intelligent
and talented persons who waste the
best part of their time IN useless dream
ing. Their years are spent In the
world of fancy and Unreality that their
imagination creates about them. Men
tai phantOms render them insensible to
present opportunities and prosperous
chances slip by them unheeded and
unnOticed until their youth and energies
are all gone Then, IN adyersity and
old age they attribute their want of
prosperity and worldly success to some
imaginary fate or destiny, even yet
blind TO the truth that their want of
prosperity is simply the result of OPP
portunities wasted. France PeterStLiG.
