For thou'st thief in either eye
Would steal it back again.
Why should two hearts in one breast lie,
And yet not lodge together?

If thus our breasts thou sever?

PRlDE.-"IIow foolish, how absurd how
runouS, how blindly destructive of its own
objec, does pride appear! by attempting
to soar, it only plunges itself in the mire
and. while endeavoring to erect for Itself
IL throne, it undermines the ground on
which it stands, and digs its own grave.
1t plunged Satan from heaven to hell; il
banished our first parents from paradise,
and it will, in II similar manner, all who
indulge it. 1t keeps us in ignorance OF
God, shuts US out from his favor, and pre-
vents us from resembling him, depriveS
us, in this world, Of all the honor and
happiness which communion with him
would confer; and in the next. unless
previously hated, repented of and renounc.
ed, will bar forever against us the dool
of heaven. and close upon us the gates OF
hell. 0, then, my friends, beware, above
all things, beware of pride. Beware lest
you indulge in it imperceptibly; for it is
perhaps, of all sins, the most secret, sub.
lie and insinuatng. That you may detect
it. remember, that he only who seeks aflel
God in his appointed way, is humble; and
that NIL who neglect thus TO seek him, ar,
most certainly proud in heart. and conse
ouently, an abominalon unto the Lord -

POULTRY KEEPING BY BOYs.-It is one
of the most promising indications of char
acter when boys show disposition to earn
something. This desire to hold something
in lee-simple is the very opposite of tramp
ism. Among boys the enjoyment of own
ing, buying and selling is very keen, and
is often gratilied in the getting of knives,
old watches and trinkets, and making ex-
changes with each other. Who does not
remember the wonderful dicker and trade
Of his boyhood? 1t was only the begin
ming of development, or, rather a self
education. This matter should not be per-
mitcd 10 90 without some guidance. Pa
rents and guardians should take an inter-
est in it, not exercising u meddling inter-
ference, but inspiring confidence, so as to
be able to cooperate, plan and watch the
results.
Now comes scheme that is just right.
How can we teach II boy business habits
better than by giving him an opportunity
to"run " u hennery? The accounts must
be accurately kept; there must be buying
and selling; there must be bantering;
there ought to be profit! A miniature
business springs up; inasmuch us it is
real why is not it rs good rs business
college? 1t may be better; for it may
prevent spending time in the streets, or
away from home, perhaps among ques-
tionable companions. \ love of home is
fostered by the ownership of flowers, small
fruits and poultry. A fondness for the
finest things produced in our climate-to
cultivate them, if belonging to the vogeta-
Bile kingdom; to breed, foster, and pet
them, if belonging to the animals not
only source of keen enjoyment, but indi-
Gates good traits and certain elevation of
character above that which is british.
Young people should be deltIy guided,
step by step, through pleasant paths, with
here and there II little job of earnest work,
made easy by social froic and recreation,
which come after in their proper place.
With little encouragement, boys may
become quite familiar with the points of
excellence in high class poultry, pigeons,
and other pets, and learn the best methods
Of breeding and management.
They may learn when and where to
purchase supplies to the best advantage,
and how TO sell the surplus products so as
to give the most profit with the least eX-
pcnse. A pleasant sclf-reliance and good
business habits may be growing, and, at
the same time, II love for nature, for re-
finement and humanity.

| A PARROT S PRACTICAL JOKE.-In his
new volume on the voyage of the Chal-
lenger Sir C. Wyville Thompson relates
IN incident which may be cited in proof
that animals are not destitute of the sense
of humor. The vessel stopped at the port
of Bahia, Brazil, and some of the voyagers
went to Santo Amaro, II town about twen-
lv miles distant There Il new line of
tramway had recently been laid with
sharp incline to II steamboat wharf. DR..
Thompsons party arrived in season to take
the trial trip on the tramway. As the
truck that carried the party went down to
the incline, the agonized cries of child,
followed by low mOanS, were heard APP
parently from beneath the wheels. In
stanty the brake was applied and the
truck stopped with sudden jerk. The
scientific party jumped out and looked
around and under the track in vain. A
lot of swarthy native children stood near
the rails looking on vaguely and curiously
but not us if anything had happened to
any of their number. When the passen-
gers, mystified, returned to their seats, II
parrot, hanging in II car. on the truck,
burst ont in loud, mocking laugh, and
was ut once recognized rs the performer
in the previous screaming and moaning.
Although DR.. Thompson is not familiar
with Bahaian patois, he is convinced that
the observations addressed by the truck
drivers to the parrot included some vigor~
Gus language.

Neuralgia, Nervous Headache, and Tic
Douloureux.

In headaches caused by disordered
state of the nervous system or Tic Dou-
loureux, we urge local treatment as be-
ing the most rational and most satisfac-
tory. No remedy, we can safely say, will
relieve the suffering more speedily, or
with SO little annoyance to the sensitive
patient. as Lawson's Curative, which is
for sale by all respectable druggists. One
application will frequently entirely dissi-
pate the pain and soothe the sufferer to
a refreshing sleep. The Curative is a
nerve tonic, acting by ABSORPTION. pene-
trating quickly to the diseased nerves and
restoring them to their normal state
When this is accomplished the pain
ceases. 1t is for this reason we direct
that the spine (the nerve center) should
be thoroughly rubbed with the Curative
as well as the parts which are painful.

Gould and some of his brethren in the
church are squirming and squealing, and
want US to stop. All right. We desire,
as much as in US lies, to live at peace with
all men, We never commenced quar-.
rel with any man, and no man ever forced
US into quarrel that he did not regret,
before he got through. that he had done
so.
We have made the following PROPOSE
ton to Gould and his church:
If he will never mention our name, or
the name of our paper, or refer to US or
our paper, or anything that is in the pa
per, either directly or indirectly, we will
treat him, and his paper, and his church,
in the same way.
We appeal to all fairminded men and
women, if this is not a fair, generous, and,
magnanimous offer. Now they have the
matter Of peace or war in their own
hands. If they want peace, they can
have it; if they want war, they can have
that; and may the devil take the hind
most

How He Loves Him

He was large, fat, burly man, on
whose head the frosts of many winters,
the contents of many barrels, and many
sleepless nights spent in debauchery, had
left few faint streaks of white. He was
trying to look dignifed, but he only sue
ceeded in looking beastly. A few loafers
were idling about him, and as he looked
upon them, he broke forth in this strain:
1.-The poor laboring man, is the man
whose interests we're looking after The
Democratic party cares nothing for the
rich man. Didn't we nominate Emmitt,
a poor wagon boy, who offered the work
ingmen of Waverly so cents day, and
board themselves? Yes sir, we look out
for the poor man. No fifty cents day
for US. if you please
At this point one of the loafers asked
him who did want to pay fifty cents day,
as he would like to have job during
these Democratic times.
"Oh, that's Mackley's price; he never
said anything of the kind, but then you
know, we must have some kind of story
to catch the doubtful voter with, so we've
started that" And the big, burly man
threw back the lappels of his vest, and
leaned upon his huge cane, and tried
again to look dignifed.
In few moments, man came along,
Carrying a dinner bucket in his hand
He looked tired. He had evidently been
toiling hard, all day. He saw the big
burly man with the beastly countenance,
and calling him to one side. asked:
Won't you go an have a glass o beer
with me?'
And the big, burly man. whose heart
bled for the poor laboring man, did walk
right into the nearest saloon, and without
hesitation, or objection did consume ten
cents worth of lager beer, for which the
poor laboring man paid, thus robbing his
children of loaf of bread, in order that
the big burly man might enjoy his beer
And the big burly man then went back
to the loafers, and tried to convince them
that tn at workingman's family were lit
orally starving that he couldn't make
enough to keep them above want, that
he was a Democrat, and always voted
that way in order to better his condition
and that he had been voting that way
and with that object, for ten years.

A Duel.

They had another duel over in Mary
land, the other day. This was about the
size of it. The two brave young men
faced each other, firmly grasping their
deadly pistols.
Gentlemen are you ready p solemnly
asked the seconds.
["Yes |" answered the brave young men
Fire, one, two, thr-
At the word zone" one of the young
men threw away his pistol and took a
bee line through corn patch, thinking
the other fellow was pursuing him.
At the word "two," the second young
man slammed away his pistol, leaped a
high board fence, "heeled it, around the
corner of barn, and hid behind peach
tree. The last heard of them was that
number one was seen peeping out from
between the leaves in a tobacco patch,
while number two had crawled under the
barn. Each declared his honor entirely

On last Saturday night j. L. Jones
and David Davis had political meeting
at Cornelia Furnace, and on their way
home, about half way between the Fur
mace and Berlin, at about eleven o'clock
at night, they heard great noise and
racket in cabin by the side of the road.
They stopped to listen. when several
stout men came out with clubs in their
hands. When they found who the men
were, they compelled them to 60 in. 1t
was country frolic, and Jones and Da-
Wis had to take part. They gave Jones,
as his partner, girl that weighed nearly
200 pounds, and as Jones does not weigh
quite that much, he had sorry time
wrestling with her in the dance; but
they had jolly time.
We suspect that the young orators
made more friends, and more votes, by
their participation in this social amuse-
ment. than they did by their speeches at
the Furnace. e-..aEs
