TooTH-PULL1NG IN KENTUcKY-The last
one comes from Warren. He came all the
way to get tooth pulled that had robbed
him of four nights sleep. He sat down, and,
just as the doctor was applying his forceps,
changed the expression of bis face and said,
'Tos&>hsre Doc, how much is this business
going to cost fellowF' FIFTY cents" re-
piled the doctor. "Can't you do it for less ?"
said the man with the toothache. "No."
Then we can't trade" said the sufferer, and
he rode back to Warren county.-SoHsville

It is better to see dog shake his tail in your
presence, than to growl. A kind word falls on
hardened, sinful heart like spring water on
the thirsty stomach of the weary traveller
Some people 60 through life with sorrowful
look, as if their only and best friend had just
died. This look, not like the moon or seasons
which continually change, is to be seen all
the time; rain or shine, frost or snow, that
funeral-like aspect on the countenance can be
seen. Others, the moment they enter your
presence throw rays of sunshine all around
you; joy sparkles in their eyes, and the coun.
tenance gives evidence of peace Of mind
with God and man. No man is so foolish but
he may give another good counsel sometimes
and no man so wise but he may easily err if
he take no other counsel than his own. He
that was taught only by himself had fool

Sir Walter Scott, the Scottish poet and
writer of historical fiction, said he had never
met a man of whom he did not acquire some
kind of useful knowledge. There are some
persons who are so puffed up with their own
opinions that they consider the opinions Of
others not worth snap when compared with
theirs. Their little minds are like eggs
whether sound or otherwise-so full Of them
selves, and encrusted with so hard shell,
that nothing else can penetrate them. Such
would make 6rst-class inquisitors and be ready
if not to apply the torture, to persecute those
who might differ with them, even to the des-
truction of their business, if possible, and de-
priving them of their daily bread. Fortu.
nately, in these days Of tolerance and general
intelligence, such men, sooner or later, lose
their influence and "Gnd their level" In the
society Of even such persons, some remark
will occasionally be made whereby we may
profit, if only to teach US how humble we
should be, and to pass lightly over the short.
comings of many whom we constantly meet in
business or recreation. To err is human to
forgive divine. Charity covereth multitude
of sins. Let us in the coming year endeavor
to help the poor, give counsel to the weak
overlook the failures of our fellow mortals
and the next year will find us happier and bet.

person who has travelled much on the cars
cannot have failed to notice the man at every
stop, who, with can in hand, goes about oiling
the axles. If he did not do it, in little while
the friction would be so great it would set fire
to the wheel, and ruin both car and engine
So it is with human life. 1t needs oiling with
the sweet balm of human love and sympathy
at every station. The New Year is one of the
great stations where all stop to dine, and while
we are dining let the oil can 60 round and
lubricate the wheels of life, so they may run
smoother. Thus will the New Year be made
happier than the old, and life be increased in

No SABBATH.-In a prize essay on the Sab
bath, written by a journeyman printer in Scot
land, there occurs the followowing passage
Read it, then reflect for while what dreary
and desolate page would this life present
if the Sabbath were blotted out from our
civilization
"Yoke-fellow! think how the abstraction of
the Sabbath would hopelessly enslave the
working classes with whom we are identified
Think of labor thus going on in one monot-
onous and eternal cycle, limbs straining, the
brow forever on the rack, the fingers forever
straining, the brow forever sweating, the feet
forever plodding, the brain forever throbbing,
the shoulders forever dropping, the loins for
ever aching, the restless mind forever sche.
ming. Think of the beauty it would efface,
the merry heartedness it would extinguish, of
the giant strength it would tame, of the re.
sourses of nature it would crush, of the sick.
ness it would breed, Of the projects it would
wreck, of the groans it would extort, Of the
lives it would immediate, of the cheerless graves
it would permaturely dig! See them toiling
and moiling, sweating and fretting, grinding
and hewing, weaving and spinning, sowing and
gathering, moving and reaping, raising and
building, digging and planting, striving, and
struggling, in the garden and in the field, in
the granary and in the barn, in the factory
and in the mill, in the warehouse and in the
shop, on the mountain and in the ditch, on
the road side and in the wood, in the city and
in the country, out at sea and on the shore
in the days of brightness and of gloom. What
picture would the world present, if we had

HoL1NEss.-Holiness Of life is not an indif-
ferent thing. God requires it, and those who
are sincere Christians earnestly pursue it. 1t
does not save, but those who have saving faith
desire it and seek it. There is something Sc
riously wrong where it is disregarded. The
Scriptures tell US that without it no man shall
see the Lord. The reason is obvious. We
cannot get to heaven without Christ, and they
that are Christ's have crucifed the flesh
with its affections and lust. The godly life
of Christians in olden times was a powerful
argument in favor of Christianity. 1t should
be so still. Those who are careless about
holiness are not only ungrateful to God, but
they also disregard the welfare both Of them
selves and neig ghbors. It is of prime impor.
lance to see that we have pure doctrine, but
we must not forget that where this is sincere
ly believed it will result in pure living.

My DEhE SIR:-The Democratic Con-
vcntion which met last week, acting
under misrepresentation, put me in nomi-
nation for the office of Governor of this
Tate. This its members would not have
lone if they had known the facts regard
ing my health. For many reasons |
ought not TO be their candidate. Duty
demands that should decline the prof
icrrd honor. While | am CRATE
iul for the friendly sentiments which
prompted their action, my dcclination is
compelled by obstacles which / cannot
overcome. For some months my health
has been intirm, and recent illness has
untitled me for mental or physical exer-
lions. My own opinion, confirmed by
the Judgment ofmy physicians, convinces
me that | am unable to perform
the duties devolving upon the Governor
of New York | could cheerfully Sacri-
fee my own purposes and feelings to
meet the wishes of my friends. | would
not hesitate to peril my
health to uphold those princi-
pies in which | believe, or to promote
the public welfare. But l feel that |
should sacrifice the interests of the party
which placed me IN nomination if | nc
cept its action. Even the superior
strength of the party with which l act
could not elect the ticket with the known
fact that its nominee for Governor Was
unequal to the pertormapce OF the labors
ut that office. l could not conscien-
tiously enter upon them. | cannot do
my friends the wrong of placing them
in false positions by trying to do so. |,
therefore, feel constrained to decline the
nomination.
While it Is a great sorrow to me that
| cannot, on this occasion, meet the
wishes of those to whom am deeply in
debted tor so many favors, yet l am sat
ished that my action will only subject
them to some present Inconvenience
which, in the end, will prove to be their |
advantage. 1t is not an unusual thing |
to have vacancy upon the ticket, nor a
difficult matter TO fill 1t In the main,
the action of the convention will give

ACQUITTED.

Capt. B%umgardner, prosecuting attor-
ney, at the conclusion Of the evidence, said
that while he had always considered the
escape of the murderers of Mr.. Slower as a
reproach to the county, and while he would
pursue to the end any probable trace OF
their whereabouts, yet he could not see in
the case here presented anything to war
rant the detention Of the prisoner. Ifthere
could, by any possibility, be a conviction,
it could only be done on the evidence OF
the witness who had heard the alleged con-
~fession, and the magistrates could see now
that if they were on a jury they would not
convict OF that evidence, as it stood after
the testimony of the other witnesses.
Magistrates Vanlear and Coiner an
nounced their decision to discharge the
prisoner, which was done, and the old man
was heartily congratulated by his friends,
especially by the constable, who brought
him, who sang out in a stentorian voice:
"Come out of there, Spencer, I want to
take you back to Nelson"
