ThOughtfuI Thoughts.

Heaven from all creatures hides the
book of fate.
The corpse of friendship is not worth
entertaining.
What is virtue but a medicine, and
vice but wound?
In the commerce of speech use only
coin of gold and silver.
Philosophy, while it soothes the rea'
son damps the ambition.
Character is the diamond that scratch.
es every other stone.
We cannot escape tomorrow by
sleep nor eternity by death.
Indecision keeps the door ajar, but
decision shuts and bolts it.
Observed duties maintain our credit
but secret duties maintain our life.
All is hollow where the heart bears
not part, and all is peril where prin'
ciple is not a guide.
Advice which, like the snow, softly
falls, dwells the longer upon and sinks
the deeper into the mind.
The touch of a little child's hand has
opened many door through which the
Master has afterward come in, sa,
down, and supped.
In all waters there are some fish
which swim against the stream, and in
every community persons are to be
found who delight in being opposed to
everybody else.
He who betrays another's secret be
cause he has quarreled with him wa.
never worthy of the name of friend: 8
breach of kindness will not justify 6
breach of trust.
He ought to possess some himself
who attempts to make use of borrowed
excellence: a golden goblet on a beg
gar's table serves only to expose its
Ecompanions of lead.
If every time conscience was wrong
ed it sighed, and every time reason was
perverted it uttered complaints, no one
could live for the moaning which would
fill his soul.
The whole external lie of people
is their language. However profound
ly their habits of thought may be mod
flied, their language at once is sensibly
affected by them.

Carrying Bullet for Sixty Years.

The Danville, New York, Advertiser
tells the following: son Friday, May
%, Moses George, of this village, vet
eran of the war of 1872, who has passed
his eightieth year, extracted from his
groin bullet which was buried there
by the rifle of an Indian, at the battle
of Chippewa, on the 5th day of July,
1915. The bullet struck the inside OF
the right leg near the groin as the
soldier was wheeling into line, and
badly shattered the thigh bone. The
bullet weighs full half ounce and is
concave on one side, showing the i'm.
press OF the bone which it struck. 1t is
somewhat blackened, but beneath a
thin coating the lead is as pure and
bright as it was over half century ago
The results of the wound made by the
bullet were very severe. The limb has
shortened six inches or more, and be.
low the thigh and reaching nearly tC
the knee is thickly SCARED, where
pieces of the shattered bone, over fifty
in all, have from time to time worked
out. The bullet did not return by its
original entrance, bnt came to the sur.
face about four inches above, and was
taken out by the veteran himself with.
out the aid of instruments. He was
overjoyed to get his eyes on the ole
enemy who had worried him so long,

Filtration.

No woman can carry on filtration
with married man that is not GRIM
inal. No woman can fiirt innocently
even with young man. 1t is the first
step toward unbalaucing his character.
Through her he sees other women, and
forms an estimate. The young woman
who enters a family, and wins the af-
fectioDs of the husband and father
knewingly-ands she cannot do it 9TH
erwise-has entered on the road to per-
dition. There is punishment for the
hOusebreaker, but none for the home
breaker, who steals and mars life's best
treasures. Every woman has the best
right to her husband. He is hers in
sickness and hers in health, to love and
cherish, as exclusively as she should be
his. He is to provide for her, honor
and love her. He is her protector
against all the adverse circumstances of
life; no other woman has any right to
his attentions and endearments, and
wife has perfect right to resent such
attentions. A man who saw another
mans arm around his wife's waist,
would consider it case for court, or an
exercise for pistol shooting. Woman
with keener sensibilities and finer ma
ture, feel it deeper. 1t touches the
heart.
A certain sensible friend of mine
says there are two things she will never
allow anybody to meddle with-her
husband and her sewing machine.
Such fiirtations are unworthy of true
manhood or womanhood. They blight
the lives that were created in the image
of God, and make the innocent suffer
for the guilty. All mothers will do
we'll to see that their daughters are not
mentally growing up on the morbid
books in which somebody is always
represented as falling in love with
somebody else's husband or wife, and
'tsoul union' pictured which is in
tended the incarnation of lust. There
are enough men and women to fall by
the force of circumstances, or the de.
pravity of original sin, without edu-
eating any to it. It is well enough to
pull our OK or ass out of the pit; bat we
do not want to dig pits for them to fall
into.
I! Many soul has gone bloOd-stained
into the presence of its Maker, sent
thither by a climax of dark circum-
stances brought about by a woman's
filtration. Don't fiirt. 1t is unwoman-
ly; it is untrue to your sex; it is a
wrong against the mother you revere.
The man whom you are tempting will
not respect you; and, worse, you will
not respect yourself.

SahhafIi-daY Laws.

In 1916 they made law in Massa-
chusetts, that if any one 'contemptuous-
ly behaved toward We word preached,
or We messenger thereof. For ye first
scandale, to be convented and reproved
openly by ye magistrate at some lee
ture, and bound to good behavior; and
if second time they break forth into
We like contemplate carriage, either to
pay e5 intoye public treasury, or to
stand two hours openly upon block
four feet high, on lecture day, with a
paper affixed on their heart, with this,
A Wanton Gospeller, written in cap
ital letters; yet Others may fear and be
ashamed of breaking out into ye like
wickedness."
In 1877 the general court ordered
htat "a cage be set up in the market
place of Boston, and in such other town
as the country courts shall appoint,
wherein shall be put, remain till exam
ined and punished, any one breaking
the Sabbath" For the prevention OF
the PROCLAMATION of the Sabbath, and
disorders on Saturday nights, 'by hor-
ses and carts passing late out of ye town
of Boston," it was ordered that there
should be ward, from sunset, on Sat
urday, until nine of the clock after,
and no cart was to pass out of the town
after sunset, nor any footman or horse
man, without good account of the ne
cessity of his business. Officers called
tythingmen enforced the observance Of
the Sabbath. The law provided that,
as badge of Office, they should have q
black staff about two fOote long, tipt al
one end with brass, about three inches.
This staff soon come to have feather
stuck into one end, with which to tickle
the noses of drowsy sinners, while the
tipt with brass enforced order oa the
pates of unruly boys. In this manner
was the congregation kept attentive
during the sermon, which generally
lasted about an hour and a half, meas
ured by an hour-glass standing on the
plate.

To Make Marriage Beautiful.

In the first place, let people defer to
laws of health, of sanity, of hereditary
soundness; let them obey restrictions,
consult wholesome seasons, respect the
limits which have been set up by the
common sense of nature. Mutual ie-
norance upon these points is filling
marriage with unnecessary evils; they
not only spoil the physical well being
of family, but spoil the disposition.
Let the work in every house be re-
duced, by reduction of its ambitions
till all the parlors, all the tables, all the
clothes, exactly represent the current
condition of every family; not brack-
ct or ribbon for exaggeration; not a
single room for parade; neither sewing,
washing, eating, securing, company
giving, beyond actual needs, and all
done by the least elaborate methods.
Then, in the second place, reduce, re.
duce to the lowest possible point the
disturbances which arise from ignor.
ance and vanity, from artificial train.
ing; yon simply liberate marriage fol
the more effective discharge of its spir-
itual purpose. The men and women
might still suspect that they were i'll
mated, till life itself pronounces the
bans. Teach children that marriage
only prolOngs their school hours into
dignity of sterner discipline and less
perishable attachments. Warn them
against the physical errors which SO
sap the will that it is humbled and en-
shaved by annoyances which health and
freshness laugh at, and teach them
SIMPLIFY, make vulgar habits and am
billions appear odious to them; ply their
imaginations with austere and noble
forms; tempt them to fall in love, first,
with spiritual beauty, whose service
makes them truly free; then they will
be better prepared to discover that mar.
riage withholds felicity until it has
been learned.

Says cattle raiser: Salt should be
furnished to all animals regularly. A
cow, an OK, or horse needs two to four
ounces daily. Salt increases the butter
in milk, helps the digestive and nutri-
tive processes, and gives good ysppe-
tite. The people of interior Europe
have saying that a pound of salt
makes ten pounds of flesh. Of course
salt only assists in assimulating the
food; it does not make flesh, nor bone,
nor muscle.

POETRY.
John Jenkins'tSermon.

The minister said last night, said he,
''Don't be afraid.of givin';
II your life amt nothin to other folks,
Why, what's the use of livin'?"
And that's what say to my wife, says |,
There's Brown, the miserable sinner,
He'd sooner begger would starve than give
A cent toward buying dinner"
tell you our ministers prime, he IS,
But couldn't quite determine,
When heard him a-givin' it right and left,
Just who was hit by his sermon
OF course there couldn't be no mistake,
When he talked of long-winded prayin',
For Peters and ThompsOns they sot and
scowled
At every word he was sayin'.
And the minister ne went on to say,
''Theres various kinds O. cheatig',
And religions good for every day
AS it is to bring 70 meetin'.
l don't think much of man that gives
The Lord 'amens' OF preachin',
And spends his time the following week
A cheatin' and over-reachin'.
guess that dose was bitter enough
For a man like Jones to swallar;
L
Not once after that to holler.
Hurrah, says /, for the minister
OF course / said it quiet
Give us some more of this open talk;
It's very refreshin' diet.
The minister hit 'em every time:
And when he spoke of fashion,
And a-riggin' out in bows and strings,
A Woman's ruling passion,
And a-comin' to church to see the styles.
couldn't help a-winkin'
And a-nudgin' my wife and says ''Thats
you,"
And l sot her thinkin'.
Says to myself, that sermons pat;
But man is queer creation;
And I'm much afraid that most of the folks
Won't take the application.
Now if he had said word about
My personal mode of sinnin',
I'd have gone to work to right myself,
And not set there GRIMM.
Just then the minister says, says he,
'sAnd now I've come to the fellers
Who've lost this shower by usin' their friends
As a sort of moral umbrellas.
Go home," says he, -'and find your faults,
Instead of huntin' your brothers Z"
Go home" says he, land wear the coats
You have tried to fit to others"
My wife she nudged and Brown he winked,
And there was lots of smilin',
And lots lookin' at our pew
1t sot my blood a-bilin'.
Says to myself, our minister
Is gettin' a little bitter;
III tell him, when meetin's out, that |
Amt that kind of a critter.
