Don't.

Don't insult poor man. His muscles may be we'll developed.
 Don't cclor mccrschaums for 9 living. It is simply dying by inches.
 Don't throw dust in your teach CTS eyes. It will injure the pupil.
 Don't worry about the Ice crop. Keep cool, and you will have enough.
 Don't turn up your nose at light things. Think of bread and taxation.
 Don't boast of your pedigree. Many a fool has had wise anccs- tor.
 Don't buy a coach to please your wife. Better make her a little sulky.
 Don't write long obituaries. Save some of your kind words for those living.
 Don't imagine that everything is weakening. Butter is strong in this market.
 Don't publish your acts of char ity. The Lord will keep the ac- count straight.
 Don't mourn over fancied gricv- anccs. Ride your time, and real sorrow will come.
 Don't put on airs in your new clothes. Remember your tailor is suffering.
 Don't be too sentimental. A dead heart properly cooked will make savory meal.
 Don't ask your pastor to pray without notes. How else can he pay his provision bill?
 Don't finger where ''your love lies dreaming" Wake her up and tell her to get breakfast.
 Don't put off subscribing for the paper. Send in your name without further delay.

Influence of the Press.

On the intelligent and local press of the country the hopes of the nation depend. The people look to the press for correct in- formation, and on this they base their judgement on governmental affairs. A bad paper conveys a moral poison wherever it circu- lates. If it is edited with com manding ability it's power for evil is greatly increased, and this is still further enlarged in pro portion to it's circulation. How vital, then, Tn view of this, be- comes the necessity of supporting good papers. D
 Every citizen who'beileves in public and private morality should extend liberal support to his home paper. His first duty should be to strengthen th:t. If he has patronage, It should go to the local organ before a dollar is sent to a paper at a distance. The principle of home protection should be applied to the local papers of the country. &8 @
 Fort Smith Herald: On the night of the 14th inst. lightning visited, the home Of Mr. James Mathis, on the Van Buren road, and took the stove-pipe for its mark. The lightning went down the pipe, literally demolishing it and the stove, and passing through the floor, doing no other damage. Mir. Mathis and family were in bed. in the room, which was filled with smoke somewhat on the birthstone order, and none of them were hurt.
 Same night large tree on the Fishback place was struck, and tom into shreds which were scat tered far and near, and reused the inmates of a house near by, who imagined the day of reckon ing was not far off.

Live Within Your Means.

Live within your means. This is a good rule for office holders and business men generally. When the man of moderate in come endeavors to live as expen- sively as a man of wealth his flu ture can be easily written: little enjoyment, periods of anxiety, burdensome debts, desperate struggle to keep up appearances, ultimate bankruptcy, and red flag to notify the neighbors that the sheriff is master of the situa- tion. One half the dishonesty of the present age springs from this foolish practice of initiating the style of others. The man of a thousand year wants to live equal to the one who receives five, he in turn, aspires to make as big show as the. one who re. ccives ten, and the receiver of ten labors to keep pace with the one who counts his income among the fifty thousands. Is it any wonder that so many iail in busi- ness or forfeit by their miscon- duct the confidence of their friends? We must come back to cur old-fashioned way of living, and this can be done only by obeying that injunction, Live within your means. Life is alto gethcr too short to destroy it's en- joyments by taxing soul and body to keep up false appearances. Contentment comes with moder- ation; mental suffering and keen anguish with extravagance. To the young man just starting in life, we say, live within your means. To the man of business pursuing success, we say, live within your means. To the office
