MEN OF FEW WORDS.

Some men use words as rihemen use bullets. They say but little. The few words go right to the mark. They let you talk, and guide your face and eyes on ani on, till what you say can be answered ill Il word or two, and then they launch out A sentence, pierce tue matter to the quick, and are done. Your conversation falls into their minds us river in deep chasm, and is lost from sight by it's depth aud darkness. They will sometimes sur- prise you with few words that 50 to the mark like gunshot, and then they are silent again as if they were reloading.
