Advice About Guns.
Boston Courier.

An interested philanthropist
gives the following advice to
sprouting sportsmen: "Don t
point your gun at yourself. Don't
point your gun at any one else.
Don't carry your gun so that its
range includes all your hunting
companions. Don't try to find out
whether your gun is loaded er not
by shutting one eye and looking
down the barrel with the other.
Don't use your gun for walking
stick. Don't climb over a fence
and pull your gun through muzzle
foremost. Don't throw your gun
into a boat so that the trigger will
catch in the seat and the charge be
deposited in your stomach. Don't
use your gun for a sledge>hammer.
Don't carry your gun full cooked.
Don't carry your gun with the ham
mer down. Don't be fool. Don t
you forget il"
Knoxville daily chronicle. [volume] (Knoxville, Tenn.) 1870-1882, 1878-11-17

We do not mean that it is
the duty of any man to sup
port another in idleness and
general worthlessness. This is
not benevolence. But is easy
to ascertain who are deserving and
who are not,..and this is not always
done.
If those who occupy our pulpits
will speak little more plainly on
many subjects which will naturally
occur to their minds, they might
accomplish a great deal of good.
In calling attention to the preva-
lent vices of the age, and their con-
nectian with men who pass with the
world as ChristianS-Christians in
name at least-Mr. Talmage is or
the right track, and if his example
in that respect is followed, it will
result in no evil, and may do good.
