up and down before the door, Prince Ment.

approached attempting to enter. He wa.
stopped by the recruit.
The prince, who had the fullest liberty
OF calling upon his master at any time,
sought to push the guard aside and pass
him, yet the young man would not move,
but ordered his highness to stand back.

HOW AN OLD FARMER SOUGHT
TO PRACTICE ECONOMY.


One day a short time since and old
farmer with his face streaked with
huckleberry juice, went into a dent
lists Office on Main street, and after
staring around few minutes, said to
the doctor: MY wife's mother died a
short time ago an left these ERE old
grinders, an 1 want ter git 'em cut
over SOS they'll fit my wife's mouth
The old man united dirty news
paper, disclosing dirty, disgusting
set of teeth, with the bed-piece about
the size and shape of large horse
shoe. With q loathing he could not
suppress the dentist turned away, re-
marking that he could make a view
set, but could not attempt to fix the
old ones. The old man gazed at him
sadly q moments and continued: Iwish
ye could fix 'em some way, for the old
woman would like to keep 'em in the
family, an ef don't git 'em done then
Satan II be ter pay. I've got the meas
ure of her mouth (here the old man
took a tape-measure from his pocke) ;
'cut FER off about two inches an they'll
slip right in fust-rate.'
sYour mother-in law must have had
fearful mouth remarked tho dent
ist, as he turned the huged mouth-gear
oyer with a file.
yes, she had er mouth like er no.
pen fireplace, and she knoweG how to
use it, too; an she had or tonge long
er'n the blade of er gravel shovel, an
when they got 'er going'-Oh Lord
save us from the wrath to comeI Well
what ye think Think ye can fix 'em ?
l don't care nothin' bout it fuder'n
the old woman's awful sensitive bout
her old dead mother ; an eff I 60 home
without 'em bein' fixed there1l be q
difficulty, fer my wife's er good deal
like her mother, and, when the full
majesty of her wrath busts out, then
whoa, Emmer! for biles over.
But she's nothin' ter what her old
mother was. Now I wish I knowed
how ter talk like old Daniel Webster,
or old Clay, or some of them old spon-
taneous fellers, SOS l could give you
some idee of the awful way that wo-
man would crawl around oyer er
mans feelin's al, paralyze his facul-
tics, an tanterlize him, an pizsn his
very existence-but I can't; words
is useless ter paint her unholy fury.
I've known her to git into tantrums
Monday mornin', an rant, an rave,
an kick up tt ouble with the nabors,
an shrek out maledictions, an froth
round till we had ter call er doctor in
and give her ether, an all because er
hoop happened to git off er washtub.
But she's gone to iine her Numerous
husbands, an eff she don't stir up strife
Oh that other shore across the cold
river of Jordan then 1 shall be disap-
pointed
How many husbands did this aw-
full woman have?' inquired the dent
ist, as he sat siyering at the old mans
recital.
sElevenI killed 1even men, as ye
might say-none on 'em lived over
two years after they married her.
Some on 'em growed idiotic and died
tools; some on 'em got deaf an vast
cd away. They are all restIn' in peace
Cor was fore we put the old woman
DOWN in the old town of Littletown.
Their graves look like er cornfield,
there's 80 many on 'em. Can't fix 'em,
hey? Well, must co. and the old
man went slowly out, while the dent
let mentally murmured. Some wo-

THE harness of life begins with the

In driving hen a woman is slow

IT is beauty's privilege to kill time

GIVE the average American girl her
choice between going to Heaven and
marrying into the nobility, and see
how few charms Heaven has for her
IKeokuk Constitution.
ONE reason why more people did not
go into the ark is, that Noah neglected
to advertise in the daily papers. There
Is great moral lesson contained in
this fact.
A DOCTOR went out hunting, and on
coming home complained that he had
not killed anything. "That's because
you didn't attend to your legitimate
business" I" said his wife.
WHEN a man has hole in the toe of
one of his socks, and is pulling on q
tight boot, and the sock works up
around his instep, then it Is time to
ask him his private opinion of Panthe-
lam 0r<1,oADv Lon<r;,n
"DO you know When the Swallows
Homeward Fly p" asked a young
man of his inamorata, as he leaned
over the pianoforte. "Of course I do, )"
she replied, in a voice as far apart as a
barber's comb. "They fly home when
they want their grub" And then she
began to sing, "Would I Were q
Bird"
A CLASS was being examined recent
ly in q sea-beaten town of Sussex. The
subject under discussion was the flood.
Among the first questions put was,
"How did Noah understand that there
was going to be a flood?" "'Cause,"
shouted an urchin, he looked in his
almanac"
A LITTLE girl in Philadelphia, when
asked what had been her lesson at Sum
day-School, said, at was about the
ten tigers" "Ten tigers! You mean
ten lepers, don't you ?" "Well, any
how it was about some of the animals
at the geological" There was one inn
pOrtant word in that lesson which had
not been explained.

CHARACTER.

Character is worth more than wealth
or knowledge, fame or power, for it
Is the measure of the man. When a
man is placed in prominent position
of any sort whatever, we say at once,
"What is he worth 2" not "What
does he know ?" but " What sort of a
man is he?' That is the momentous
question that involves all. All others
are secondary. Wealth, knowledge,
fame, power, are most desirable acces-
sions for a good man; but otherwise
they add strength in the wrong direc-
ton. I wonder if the young men and
boys in our land realize that character
is the most important capital to any
and all business transactions. If a
man of large business is looking for a
partner or employe, what does he re-
quire first and most of all +? An honest
man or boy. Wealth and position,
with this first requisite, will be no de-
traction, but nothing without it.
What pillars are to a building, what
the foundation is, and the corner
stones thereof, SO is good character
to q man or woman, boy or girl. The
wise man said, "a good name is rath-
er to be chosen than riches" and he
had no lack of wealth. Remember,
boys-and it will harm none to remem-
ber-that what you are is of infinite
importance; while what you have is
finite in its value; its end is the grave !;
while the former will grow and enrich
its possessor through all the ages of
Immortality. Strive for it as for your
life, for life is naught without it; if a
man die for his house, he is an ever
lasting hero while if he dies for his
wealth, he is a sordid fool. We honor
it in death, if not it life. So teach
us to number our days, as to apply our
hearts unto wisdom"

WHY SHOULD ANY MAN SWEAR

WHY SHOULD ANY MAN SWEAR.
We can conceive of no reason why
he should, but often reason why he
should not.
1t is mean. A man of high moral
standing would almost as soon steal a
sheep as to swear.
1t is vulgar. Although too mean for
q decent man.
1t is cowardly. Implying a fear
either of not being believed or obeyed.
It is ungentlemanly. A gentleman,
according to Webster, is a genteel man
well bred, refined. Such one will no
more swear than go into the street to
throw mud with a clOdhopper.
1t is indecent. Offensive to delicacy
and extremely unfit for human ears.
1t is foolish. Want of decency is
want of good common sense.
It is abusive. To the mind which
conceives the oath to the tongue which
utters it, and to the person at whom it
is aimed.
It is venomous. Showing mans
heart 10 be the nest OF VlperS, ana eve
ry time he swears one of them sticks
out its head.
1t is contemplate. Forfeiting the
respect of the wise and the good.
1t is wicked. Violating the Divine
law, and provoking the displeasures of
Him who will not hold him guiltiess
who takes His name in vain.
It is cheap. A man derives less
pleasure and comfort from this habit
than from any sin lie may commit.
Then, it is cheap, for he gets no pay,
except the wages of sin, which is death.
Every objection urged is well taken;
yet we find SO many of our leading
men indulging in this useless habit.
1t does them no good, and they admit,
yet why will they continue in the hab-
it?
