FROM what slight actions and
trivial utterances are we often enabled
to read correctly the thoughts, the
feelings, the opinions of those around
US. When we see man bearing tho
honorable name of WilliamW ashing-
ton, issue with demoralized steps
from the door of beer, shop and
snatching his hat from his head ,hurl
it with violence and imprecations
against the pavement at his feet, at
the same time cxclaiming, "My name
is Washiam Wilmington, and / amt
bin to bed nor wept q stink in three
days, but wlin q teller fells me that

Birthington's washday, dashed if l

stinctively that here is man who
does not tako that interest in the
success of the Rowell e. Hoofstitlel

tbropist should.

OUR HELPLESSNESS.

This life Is but farce at best
Our birth a gray and cherries dawn.
Awhile to lingcr!in unrest,
a gloomy eve, and we arc zone.
Our love, our passion, and our hate.
With all our sorrows, joys combined.
Must yield at last to ruling Fate,
And leave with life this world behind.
Our wealth, our honor and our name.
With all that our ambitions crave.
Must fade with lifc's expiring flame,
Their mcm'ry hidden by the grave.
Our deathless souls, that dwell within
These frail and senscless moulds ofc!sv-
The gods Of Sorrow, and Of Sin
Take flight, we know not where, awav.
or what has lowly man to boast.
Where lies his ruling power supremos
lie rules not what he prizes most
The life beyond this fltfu dream.

BE liberal to your farms and they
will be liberal to you. A farm is
very much in one respect like a
looking-glass-it reflects the charac-
ter of the owner exactly. If he is a
man of taste his buildings, fence and
general arrangements of his farm
will tell the tale. No effort on his
part to disguise his real thoughts or
sentiments will avail anything, SO
long as the operations of his farm
belle his words.

ILLUSTRATION BY PICTURES.-One
of the great contrasts between the
School Books used by the fathers
and mothers of the land, when
young, and those now used by chill
dren is the use of pictures. As a
curious means of illustrating the
meaning of words by pictures, look
at the three pictures of a Ship on
page 1851 of Webster's Unabridged
Dictionary,-these alone illustrate
the meaning of more than one hun
dred words and terms far better
than they can by any description in
words.

LAST week the wife of John Ole
son, of Minnecaunne, near Peshtigo,
in this State, gave birth to a girl
baby who had six fingers on each
hand and six toes on each foot. The
extra fingers and toes were success.

is doing all right. A remarkable
thing about the price is that this is
the second child Mrs. Oleson has
had with this surplus of fingers and

THROUGH correspondent to the
Darlington Democrat, from this city,
one Of our boys, wo regret to say,
received the following personal.
"a young man of Mineral Point
is going to start to Chicago, because
at every street corner he is asked
the question, What time is it!'
You say why should they bother
him So Here is the reason: A
few weeks ago he called at the house
of Miss Mary Miller, Ia colored girll
to get his washing; she had gone
out for a while, and he took advan-
tage of her absence to pocket all de
valuables, consisting Of silver
watch and four dollars in money ;
when she returned and found she
had been robbed, she went to Jew
elar who had tho number Of the
watch and told him to look out for
it. In about two weeks after, said
y oung man stepped in to sell the
watch, and was soon brought face to
face with the owner, who compro'
ed with the affair, by him return.
ing the watch and stamps !; but II
,iles him badly, for the boys to ask
him for the timo."
AS this is the first time to tho
knowledge of our citizens that tho
youth referred to has been guilty o
theft, we will refrain from mention
ing his name, and hopo that modi
fed exposure Of his guilt will have
tendency to place him along sid'
with all upright and honest men. III
has qualities essential to make hin
a shining light among his fellows
and should put Men. in practice.
