kindly cheerful expression rs of olds
L. N.-We have not time or inclins-
ton to answer all questions propOunded
by correspondents. Neither have We
the mental capacity. An example of
faithful trust in woman was exhibited
by Leeoa who previous to being put
to torture fearing that the pain of this
torture might cause her to reveal her
knowledge of conspiracy, bit out her
tongue so that she might not be capable
of betraying the secret during torture.

T. S.-Courtesy requires gentleman
to remove his hat when conversing

T. r. Sat the 1S0th degree of
longitude or "half round the world
POINT" westward bound vessels drop
day from the calender in going out and
add one coming in or east. Were they
not to do so if they left port on Mon
day and made the trip with the usual
reckoning they would have Monday
on board ship while it would be Tues
day on shore. The 1S0th degree is in
the Pacific ocean and is the place where
two Sundays come together"
Student. Commencement Exercises

Petty.-We have never studied med
icine except to read the anecdotes at
bottom of pages of Ayers Medical AL
manac; the symptoms of calling man

Going to Colorado will do you no good.

Robert, "a DEVILS lane" is passage
between the line fences of two farmers
who cannot keep up one line of fence
without an inclination to put each
others eyes in mourning. 'Tis said his
Satanic Majesty delights in walking up
and down these roads watching the
thorns and brambles growing, and re-
joieing at the waste land and the extra
expenditure for fencing.
Corn Cob.-The correct method of
eating corn on the cob or from the cob
has never been fully determined al

two distinguished persons resulting in
the breaking OF an arm, but arriving
at no definite conclusions. 1t is in good
taste to secure cob with plenty of
corn ON ito feel thankful that 40
much of it is there, and then detach ii
in the most convenient and satisfactory
way. Do not eat the cob.
The DEVILS Camp Meeting could be
established here at any time that suf-
ficient number could be gathered to
listen to the travelling Preachers who
pass through and endeavor to edify
the citizens. Often they remove their
clothing. Make profane sound with
their mouth, and get up such a state of
affairs as would shame the inmates of
a Lunatic Asylum. A vender of
"Summer Sad Irons' preached to-day
and varied the exercises by throwing
stones at his audience. The citizens
are beginning to inquire "What causes
so many outbreaks"
