WHICH WAS THE FOOL

Yes, Tabby is rather pretty"
"She don't seem to care much for
the admiration OF gentlemen" said u
vivacious girl, who was. evidently,
only too willing to accept all the
homage she could get.
"Still waters run deep" was the re-
sponse Of another.
"Nonsense the girl Is pretty, but
she is, evidently little fool. Why,
II you speak to her she seems to be
frightened. 1 like girl that has got
some snap, and isn't afraid to be spo-
ken to-"
"Tll bet you I'll speak to her. and
make love TO her, too: and there she
comes as sure as I'm alivel Good bye,
friends; I'll report success-perhaps
in an hour"
This conversation had taken place
at the house OF friend, where. by
chance, several OF the students and
one or two young ladies happened to
meet.
The yonng man who spoke last was
some thing OF a favorite on account
OF his fine appearance and easy man
ners. He rushed out on the street
In time TO encounter the girl OF whom
he had spoken, a modest, somewhat
uncultivated, but very lovable girl,
and the niece Of a professor who was
fitting Drake an q dozen other
young gentlemen for college.
"Will you allow me to walk home
with your" he asked, politely lifting
his hat.
Certainly, IL you are going my
way" said Tabby. "You know the
street doesn't belong to me-"
@Oh. certainly; and and won't you
take my arm?"
"No, indeed said Tabby, shortly.

"Of course not; that is, / haven't

don't seem to like me as we'll as you
do the other fellows"
Il don't like fellows, any way" said
Tabby, quietly.
"You must make an exception in
my case" said the boy.

at that time the most enlightened
nation on the globe-a nation Of as
tronomers. poets artists, architects,
armorers-a nation which believed In
the Immortality OF the soul, and Ia a
future of rewards and punishment,
and, which, therefore, ranked hi-hest
in the scale of morality. Earth was a
hell, from which went up in unceas-
lug discord the impr, cation OF rage
and the scream of mortal agony. No
mans life or property, or wife or
child, was safe for an hour. Now
mark what the earth is now-and
know that all this change. from lowest
hell to the confines of heaven, Is due
to the Gospel. And that gospel will
make the world as much better here
after than it is now as the members
OF our Christian churches are better
than Assur-izir-p and his incarnatt

journal

Has now been published for over Half a
Century, and il but just TO say that it has
done more to promote general intelligence
and establish healthy moral and political
sentiment in tie State than any other in
stitutirn. either public or private. 1t Is
the unanimous verdict of the leading news
paper men throughout the country that,
considering its field, THE JOURNAL
has no superior as newspaper IN the
Government. There has been literally
no adverse criticium upon either it's gen
eral or Editorial management In the past
three years, except such as comes from
adverse political Or rival business interests.

A Trick that Cured n Desire for Death.
A young man, suffering from the
reaction incidental TO a spree. entered
a grocery at the north end recently
and unceremoniously knelt before the
proprietor, asking his forgiveness for
being In such a condition. The gen.
tleman thus addressed tried to pacify
him, bu: could not, and finally re.
ferred him to the clerks. The young
persistent then turned to the senior
clerk, and on his knees pleaded to be
shot, offering to sign his own death
warrant. Finding him persistent, the
clerk decided to try and dispel his
morbid desire for death by means Of
a practical joke. So death warrant,
sOlemnly worded in long and s0nor-
Gus phrases, was drawn up by one OF
the clerks. to which the petitioner az
fixed his name, remaining still upon
his knees. The first clerk then drew
a revolver, and ordered the victim to
close his eyes. which was done. A
fire cracker was meanwhile slyly ig-
nited. and placed upon the floor at
the back Of the fellow, who with pale
face and anxious expression awaited
the fatal shot. Suddenly the cracker
exploded, and at the same instant the
young man overcame all desire to
shuttle of this no ortal coil, and with a
howl and bound he was out OF the
store, fully persuaded that his time
had not yet come.--Ne,o Bedford
(Mdss.) Mercury.

Almost every day we hear some
one say the world is worse than it
ever was before, and is growing
worse all the time. To such we COM
mend the following sketch, from the
Interior:
We are having occasion to look
over an epoch Of old Chaldean and
Assyrian history at an age when the
arts, sciences and literature were at
their highest, and when skillful me-
chanic arts supplied luxuries Of all
kinds. Assyria was at that time, in
these particulars, fully abreast with
any nation of Europe of two centu-
ries ago, and yet the earth was as
nearly a hell as one can imagine
without storm of fire and brimstone.
Asshur izlr-pal spent thirty years in
burning, butchering, crucifying. cut
ting off the noses ears and otherwise
manning the people OF the nations
from the east side of the Valley OF the
Tigris to the Mediterranean, and
from Lake Van to the Persian Gulf.
Three times did he assault the com
bined forces OF Ph9nicia, Israel, Syr-
la, Moab, and PhiiisIia. who united
for the common defeuse. Twice they
repulsed him in successive caIn-
paigns, The third attack he made
with the whole force OF his empire.
and overwhelmed them in the valley
OF the Jordan. And then the Assyrian
devil. and his myriads, made them
selyes drunk with innocent blood.
His twenty-seven campaigns were
with no other object In view than to
Indulge his thirst for blood aud his
love for destruction. He records his
work in q stilted style Of seli-con-
graduation and gloritication. He
tells how he crucitied and manned
the people, burnt the cities, cut down
all the trees, and drove off all the
cattle; and how he then made thank
offerings to his gods for his success.
Now mark the fact that Assyria was

Here is how an exchange puts 1t:
We suppose that many people think
that newspaper men are persistent
duns; let a farmer place himself in
similar position and see IL he would
not do the same. Suppose he raised
one thousand bushels OF wheat, and
his neighbor should come and buy .

matter Of only two dollars or less,
and the neiehbor says, Il will hand
you the amonnt In a few days." AS
the farmer does not want TO be small
about the matter. he says all right,
the man leaves with the wheat. An
other comes in the same way, until
the whole OF the Thousand bushels of
wheat are trusted out to one thous-
and different persons, and not one OF
the purchasers concerns himself
about Ii, for IL is a small amount that
he owes the farmer. and OF course
that would not help him any. He.
does not realize that the farmer has
frittered away all his large crop Of
wheat. and that its value Is due him
in thousand little driblets. and that
be Is seriously embarrassed Ia his
business because his debtors treat it
as little matter. But IL all would
pay MIN promptly. which they could
do az well as not, 1t would be q very
large amount to the farmer, and en-
able him to carry on his business
without difficulty. The above CON-
parison is too true of the diniculties

tend with. e .efra-
