VULGAR LANGUAGE.

There is as much connection be-
tween the words and the thoughts, as
there is between thoughts and &C
tions. The latter is only the ex-
preston of the former, but they
have power to react upon the soul,
A young man who allows himself to
use one vulgar or profa"e word, has
not only shown there is a foul spot
upon his mind, but the appearances
Of that word he extends the spot,
and inhames it, till by indulgence, it
will polIute and ruin the soul. BE
careful of your words as of your
thoughts. If you can control the
tongue that no improper words are
pronounced by it, you will soon be
able to control the mind and save it
from corruption. You extingush
the fire by smothering it, or by pre-
venting bad thoughts from bursting
into language. Never utter a word
anywhere which you would be
ashamed to speak in the presence Of
the most refined female or the most
religious man. Try this practice a
little while, and you will soon have
command of yourself.

Cor OFF AT THE WRONG STATION
The death of one of the oldest cit
liens of Brook field recalls an Incl
dent 10 her career which happened
some fifteen years ago,
She was going to Stanford to visi
a daughter, and took hor seat in the
cars for the first and only time il
her life, During the ride an acct
dent occurred whereby the car il
which she was seated was thrown
down an embankment and demolish-
ed. Crawling out from beneath the
debris she spied man who was hello
down in a sitting posture by his legs
being fastened.
SIS this Stamford 7" she anxiously
inquired.
The man was from Boston. He
was in considerable pain, but he did
not lose sight of the fact he was from
Boston so he said
No, this is a catastrophe
On calculated the old lady,

This was SO evident as to make q

At Columbus, Ohio, on Saturday
afternoon, Albert E. Martin, clerk
in the county treasurer's office,
while working at his desk, in which
a loaded revolver was placed so as
to be handy in case of any attempt
at robbery, suddenly turned to the
cashier Of the office and remarked:
Say, CarseiIius, what day of the
week was it that Frank Deshler,
the bank teller, committed suicide3'
Carseilius answered, poor Frank
killed himself on Saturday, but why
do you ask such a question Y Mar
tin replied, Then I'll shoot myself
on Saturday, and at once picked up
tie revolver and raised it to fire,
when Carseilius sprang to his side
and selling his arm, cried out, 'Oh,
Al, DON'T but at the moment the
revolver was discharged and Martin
fell to the floor. The ball entered
near the left nipple and passed di-
rectly through his body. When
asked why he had sought to take
his life, Martin replied, why did
You stop me Pm tired, so tired
of life Martin connot recover.

games Of both hand and football. re-

vehicles. A gentleman coming In his
buggy over the Divide from Virginia. an
evening or two ago, was stopped BY .
party Of boistsrous fellows who were
having a game Of football. and came
near frightening his team into running
away by kicking the ball beneath their
hesis. and then rushing noisily about
them. He begged them 10 dssist, -
one Of his horses was . young colt and
easily frightened, but the only reply he
got was: go to hi Cd d-n
He had TO wait some
little time before be saw

high time that the proper officers inter.
fered. and put . stop to this dangerous
sport before some one gets killed or
hurt. There are plenty Of other places
for the sport, aud mono Of IL should be
allowed in the main public street. The
first man or boy caught d u hereafter
