Words of Wisdom,

Show me people whose trade is dis
honest, and | Will show you people
whose religion is sham.
Childhood often holds q truth with
its feeble fingers, which the grasp of
manhood cannot retain, which it is the
pride Of utmost age to recover.
Many persons sigh for death when ii
seems far of, but the inclination van
ishes when the boat upsets, or the loco
motive runs off the track, or the mea-
sles set in.
Mere bashfulness without merit is
awkward; and merit without modesty,
insolencc. But mOdesty with merit
has q double claim to acceptance, and
generally meets with as many patrons
as behOlders.
To feel much for others and little for
ourselves, to restrain our selfish and
to indulge our benevolent affections,
constitute the perfection of human
nature.
The utmost excellence at which
humanity can arrive, is Il constant and
determined pursuit OF virtue without
regard to present dangers and adyan-
tages.
To do an evil action is base; to do q
good action without incurring danger
is common enough; but it is the part
OF good man to do great and noble
deeds, though he risk everything.

! Horse That enjoyed q Joke.

-
Horses have a sense and very fair
understanding Of what fun is. II hao
one once" writes Cailfornia iadys
ssthat objected seriously to being caught
up again after he had been turned into
pasture, and lie would give all the trou-
Bile he possibly could. If l took the
halter and attempted TO catch him he
would let me come quite close to HIM;
but Just as was about to throw the
straps around his neck he would lower
his head, throw up his heels and DART
off, looking back to see whether L loi-
lowed. After his repeating this ma,
noeuvre half dozen times, 1 wouia
turn to leave In disgust and walk rapid
ly away. Then compunction always
seized the horse, and he would come
trotting up behind me, set his teeth
carefully in the sleeve of my dress and
Jerk at it, as much as to say: "There,
can't you take joke? | was only in
fun, and I'm ready TO come with you.'
And it takes only SO short a time to
make horse love you and lose all fear
of YOU. At one time was acquainted
with horse in Alameda whose reputa-
ton for gentleness did not equal his
beauty. He was large, handsome
bay; and when l first approached his
keeper, big, burly, English hostler,
with the purpose of tanning the horse,
and with handful of sugar, he refused
to let me GO near him. "Couldn't allow
it noways miss" he said; "that 'orse
would bite your 'and right OFF If you
'eld it out to i'm with the sugar."
persevered, however. The 'orse didn't
ssbite my 'and right off, but took his
sugar like lamb; and less than two
weeks from that time he would whinny
and paw the ground with impatience il
he heard my voice In the stable and
did not come directly to him. TO be
sure he had nearly squeezed me to death
against the side of his stall; but it was
sheer good will and affection, not
viciousness; for William, who had hur-
ried up pale and scared, stood speech
less to see that he neither struck at nor
bit me.

Aspecial to the Cincinnati Enquirer. Of
Saturday, from Delaware, Ohio, says:
jaime McKelyey, young man oftwenty.
four yean Of age, whose place ofresidence,
until the last few years, has been in Bel
mont County, Ohio, took his departure
from Radnor Township, six miles west Of
here, in this county, rather prematurely q

Of somewhat prepossessing appearance,
and never lets his chances, like sunbeams,
pass him by to form the acquaintance Of
the fair sex, Of which he was a general
favorite. Among his numerous admirers
was Miss Maggie Trickey, whose parents
reside in the same vicinity, and are what
might with propriety be termed genteel,
well-to.do people, and Maggie, who is Just
budding into womanhood, and Is sweet
sixteen, or will be in February next, is a
perfect blonde and possessed Of a yoluptu.

present condition. For some months past
she has been keeping company with Nc.
Kelvey, and permitted him to do pretty
much as she pleased, and the fact that,
SONS few days since she discovered her.
self to be in pretty fair way to become a
mother ere she was wife, leads to the
supposition that she allowed her sutton to
do pretty much the same.
No sooner did she learn her condition
than she became possessed OF the desire
to procure father for her unborn child,
Not wishing to give publicity to the mat.
ter, she merely dropped a note in the
office OF her gay Lothario, requesting that
he call to see her and make some sort o!
restitution. The note had not yet reached
its destination ere Maggie changed hel
mind concerning the publicity portion Of
the affair, and finally concluded to place
the young man within the grasp OF The
law that he might be more available wher
wanted. A warrant was sworn out before
Justice OF the Peace John A. Gone, OF Rad
nor Township, who, in due course Of time
had the young man before hin

Geo. c. sturgtss and John A. Hutchinson
Address A Big Crowd.
MouNDsyTLLR, August IA,

Editors InbIlISsncer.
This has been q lively afternoon fol-
Moundsville politically. The Republican
didate for Governor, Hon. George O,
Sturgiss, delivered one Of the soundest
arguments it has been our privilege to
hear. He contracted the two political par
ties in manner that was certainly con.
vincing to all who heard it. He clearly
showed that the Republican party is the
party OF progress, that 1t always had been
so, and that It's principles are destined TO
rule our country in the future II we
still 90 on progressing. Hon. John A.
Hutchinson, our next Congressman, fol-
lowed in short speech full OF wit and
humor, but he was 30 hoarse that he cou d
not continue as long as the audience wish
ed him to do. The court room was crowd.
ed, and among the number were quite a
number OF Democrats, whom we hope
had quite enough to convince them OF the
errors OF their ways.
Mr., Hutchinson informed theaudience
that on the fourth Of March, 1881, he ex.
peCted TO take the place now occupied
by the Hon. Ben Wilson.
Tho audience was an enthusiastic one,
and during the speeches OF both gentle
men they frequently gave vent to their
feelings In the widest applause. Score
one for Marshall county. She will give
at least FIVE hundred majority for both
Sturgiss and Hutchinson.
