HumOr and Sarcasm.

1t is not everybody who
knows where to joke, or when, or
how; and whoever is ignorant of
these conditions had better not
joke at all. A gentleman never
attempts to be humorous at the
expense of people with whom he
is but slightly acquainted. In fact,
it is neither good manners nor
wise policy to joke at anybody's
expense; that is to say, to make
anybody uncomfortable merely to
raise laugh. Old Ksop, who
was doubtless the subject of many
a jibe on account of his hump
back, tells the whole story in his
fable of "The Boys and the
Frogs" What was fun to the
youngsters was death to the
croakers. A jest may cut deeper
than q curse. Some men are so
constituted that they cannot take
friendly joke in the same light
coin, and will requite it with con-
tumely and insult. Never banter
one of this class, or he will brood
over your badinage long after you
have forgotten it, and it is not
prudent to incur any ones enmity
for the sake of uttering a smart
double enGendre or a tart repartee.
Ridicule, at best, is a perilous
weapon. Satire, however, when
levelled at social foibles and polit-
zeal evils, is not only legitimate,
but commendable. It has shamed
down more abuses than were ever
abolished by force of logic.

DOnsG Hack, Hack, Cough,
Cough!

Cough is symtom by which
various diseased conditions of the
throat, bronchial tubes and lungs
manifest themselves. But wheth-
er it arises from the irritation pro-
duced in the throat and larynx by
taking cold, from an attack of
Bronchitis, from incipient Con-
sumption, or from various other
causes, nothing will allay it more
speedily or cure it more perma-
nently than DIR. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery 1t does not
matter whether It be a recent at
tack, or a lingering cough, the
discovery is. in either case equally
well adapted for its relief and per-
manent cure. In fact, it will cure
a cough in one-half the necessary
time to cure it with any other med
icine,and 1t does it, not by drying
it up, but by removing the
cause, subduing the irritation,
and healing the affected
parts. No time should be
lost in commencing the use of
q proper medicine for the relief OF
a cough, for unless this course is
pursued. serious and dangerous
diseases of the lungs is liable to
result. Golden Medical Discov-
cry is sold by all dealers in medi-
cines.

on supplies to Council Grove, and
flour shipped there for the sufferers
had to be sold for 50 % per nun

the managers OF that road deserves
the detestation of all honest men
throughout the land There has a
feud existed between Council Grove
and that road for several years, the
result of which is q discrimination
against all shippers from that place,

The Escape of q slave Mother
With her Infant i'm her
arms.


A few miles from the Ohio river,
and in Kentucky, lived slave moth
er, who was badly treated by his mis-
tress, and consequently she determin-
ed to be free. She took her infant in
her arms, and started at night for
where an Englishman lived whom she
consulted with respect to crossing the
river, and at what place she might stop
on the Ohio side. He pointed to my
house, which could be seen, as it was
on the top of a very high hill. @Yon-
der, said he, is house in which good
man lives. Go there; go right in; you
need not fear to go in.' The river
was frozen over, and the ice was thaw-
ing, so that the water was running
over it. She waded across. Before
morning the Ice was entirely broken
up, and the river was impossible. She
came to my house; the doors being
unlocked, she went into the kitchen,
made q fire, and dried her clothes. She
then searched and found where my
boys slept, and walked them, and they
took her to another depot the same
night. She was conveyed to Green
field, fifty miles distant from Ripley.
The lakes were frozen over and there
fore she could not get to Canada until
spring. Consequently it was deemed
best for her to stay at Greenfield until
the lakes would be open to navigation.
In process of time her husband fol-
lowed her to Greenfield. When he
arrived there some young men went
to tell her that her husband had come.
When they called at the house where
she boarded, she became alarmed, took
up her child and left in a cold night,
and wandered around the town until
she and her child were nearly frozen.
She was forced to go to house. She
happened to go to a safe one. In the
morning her husband found her. She
was so excited that she did not recog-
nize him as her husband, but when she
discovered that he was her husband
she shouted with joy. Both were safe
" conveyed to Canada.

Hereditary Crime.

Some of the most remarkable
statistics regarding hereditary dis
position to crime that have ever
been collected were lately produc-
ed by DR.. Harris at a recent meet
ing Of the State Charities Aid As
sociation. 1t appears that the at
tention of DR.. Harris was attract
ed to county on the upper Hud-
son, in New York, in which the
proportion of crime and poverty to
the entire population was eXtraor-
dinarily great, there being about
one criminal or pauper to every
ten inhabitants. The recurrence
of certain names among the list of
unfortunates also excited his in
terest, and led him to genealogical
Investigations which have resulted
in the following establishment of
fact:
Seventy years ago, child hav-
ing no other name than Margaret,
was a vagrant about the locality.
There was no almshouse, and it
seems that the girl lived as a wait,
occasionally helped by the charita-
bic but never educated, and never
given a home. She gave birth to
children, who became paupers like
herself; they increased and multi
piled until up to the present time,
nine hundred descendants of the
friendless woman can be traced.
OF this immence progency, extend
ing through six generations, two
hundred of the more vigorous are
recorded as criminals, and large
number as idiots, lunatics, prosti-
tutes, and drunkards. In one
single generation there were TWEEN
ty children, three of which died
young, and the balance survived to
maturity; but mine were sent to
State prisons for aggregate terms
of fifty years, and the rest were
constant inmates of penitentiaries,
iaiIc and aImshoucoc
