the glasses with evident dread, and
when his master tried to induce him to
take drink he was upon the

MIN to come down; but he refused His
master shook a whip at him; but it had
no effect. A gun was then pointed at

MRy OF Few WoRDs.-Some men use
words as rtlemen use bullets. They say
but little. The few words 60 right 10
the mark. They let you talk, and guide
your face and eyes on and on till what
you say can be answered in a word or
two, and then they launch out SEN
tehce, pierce the matter to the quick,
and are done. Your conversation falls
into their minds as u river in n deep
chasm, and is lost from sight by i,s
depth and darkness. They will some
times surprise you with Il few words
that go to the mark like gun-shot. and
then they are silent again, as If they
were reIoad!ng. such men are safe
counselors ana true friends, where they
profess to be- such. TO them truth is
more valuable than gold, while pret"n.
sion is TOO gaudy to deceive them.
Words without point to them are like
titles without merit. only betrayng the
weakness of the blind dupes who are
ever used TO forward other mems
schemes.
