Don't shiIIy ShalIy.


There is an anecdote told of Wendell
Phillips which it will do our young men
no harm to remember. 1t is said that
his wife, though confirmed invalid,
has always been an encouragement and
an inspiration to him. When about to
leave her sick chamber to make some
stirring speech she was wont to say to
him, Now, Wendell, don't shilly
shally." How much this has had to do
with his incisive and never uncertain
utterances it might be hard to say. The
words however, shape themselves into
motto not to be forgotten. Whether
you are engaged in the active business
of life or indulging in the precarious
luxury of making love, "don't shiily
shally." In this peculiarly advanced
age, when things are not what they
seem A." when we adulterate every thing
from food to religion, when the word
shrewdness is received as a sufficient ac-
curate synonyme for honesty, the great
want is that uprightness and downright
ness which means what 1t says and says
what 1t means. If you want to succeed
in life try the virtue of that higher law
which commands you not to sand your
sugar and not to shilly shally.

the code not unfrcquently adhered
to by partlsans Of the North against the
representatives of the unpopular South,
and never was this more conspcuously
shown than In 1925 when Fleur de Lis,
afterwards q renowned cup horse, was
run into and knocked down as she was
winning so as to let up Mr.. Watts
Memmon, the favorlte. The Leger of
the year before was marked by an at
tempted fraud which was singularly de-
tected and signally thwarted. Mr.. Gas
colgne's Jerry had been SO highly tried
that his owner and Croft, the trainer,
knew he could not be beaten; neverthe-
less money was laid against the favorite
by the hatful. The trainer was perplex-
ed beyond measure at the confidence of
the layers, but on the eve of the race, as
he was walking by the turnpike gate, he
observed post. chase drawn up for a
moment to pay the toll, and the light
from the lamp hung on high, shot its
unmasking rays into the interior of the
vehicle. The head of Ridsdale, who,
originally Yorkshire footman, ranked
then as great potentate in the ring was
thrust from the window, and conversing
by his side In the back of the chaise
were revealed the well-known face and
form of Edwards, the famous Jockey
and one of famous family of jockeys.
Croft instantly had the secret, for 1t was
Ridsdale's party that had been foremost
in their hostility to the favorite; but
not word did he or Mr.. Gascoigne
breathe TO living soul. The day came
jerry was saddled and Edwards had his
foot in the stlrrup, when he was /" in
vited" to dismount, and Ben Smith
sprang into the saddle, and steered the
favorite home an easy winner. The
ring was hard hit, and the late Mr.. Geo.
Payne, then a young man and heavy
better, lost 100000 1t was thus that
the Duke of Queensberry foiled the con-
spirators who had bought up his jockey
in a 10000 match. What nice

animal saddled; guess I'll ride him
myself" and throwing off his overcoat
showed himself in silk and cords, and
mounting the horse won with ease.

Tricks of the Race Course.

THE defeat of Bend Or,on whom odds
i were betted for the st. Leger last
week was neither the first nor the most
remarkable disaster that had befallen fa-
vorites and their hackers on the historic
Town Moor of Doncasted. The little
town for which resident of the county
of broad acres has so warm corner in
his heart has seen, since first the stake
called after Handsome jack" st. LIE.
ger was run over its course, some of the
most sensational-and scandalous--epi-
sode recorded in the annals of English
racing. Doncaster in the olden time
was famous resort of the nobility and
gentry during the race week indeed,no
other race course is as rich in interest
ing "reminiscences. 1t was there that the
Prince of Wales rode ON a memorable
occasion side by side with the Earl of
Clermont, whom loyal populace took,
in his hood and wraprascal, for the an
tiquated Princess Amilia, His Royal
Highness being Justify cheered by that
loyal populace for his pious devotion to
his grand-aunt. There was cub-huntlng
in those days in the morning, and after
the races, (which began at IL o'clock,
and dinner it was dc rig,teur to attend
the theatre. The county magnates went
up to Doncaster in numbering coaches
with surprising retinues, and it was an
unending cavalcade which poured out to
the Moor. And after the races, when a
North Country horse had won, the inns
saw queer scenes, such as the late Lord
Glasgow knocking down the waiter and
bidding the landlord "put him in the
BILL" or the smashing by a patriotic
Yorkshire baronet of all the mirrors in
the house properly to celebrate the sue
cess of friends horse. And half a
century ago North Country horse had

Putting on.

A preacher determined to preach on
the text, Now is the accepted time
now is the day of salvation" While in
his study thinking, he fell asleep, and
dreamed he was carried into hell and set
down In the midst of conclave of lost
spirits. They were assembled to devise
means to get at the souls of men. One
arose and said, 81 will go to the earth
and tell men that the Bible is all fable
that 1t is not dlvlnely appointed of
God"
No that will not do," said another !;
" let me go; will tell men that there
is no God, no Saviour, no heaven, no
hell" and at the last words fiendish
smile lighted up all their countenances.
" No, that will not do; we can not
make men believe that"
Suddenly one arose, and with a wise
mein, like the serpent of old, suggested,
" No, will journey to the world of
men, and tell them that there is a God,
that there is Saviour, that there is q
heaven-yes, and hell, too-but 1 will
tell them there is no hurry tomorrow
will do, 1t will be even as today" and
they sent him.

A Perjured Witness.

r THINK about 1916 my friend Bron-
Il son Murray, who then lived at Deer
Park, La Sale county, sent for me to
come to Ottawa and defend his hired
man, who, killing neighbor in quar-
rel, had been indicted for murder. A
sudden quarrel had arisen, and the pris-
oner, seizing hickory stake from his
sled, had struck the deceased, one hard
blow on the head, producing death.
| sat down to the trial. supposing 1
had clear case of manslaughter, and
one free from difficulty, and the only
question would be the extent of my
clients imprisonment. There was no
controversy about the quarrel and the
blow, and that death was the result
These facts having been proved, the
prosecution called the officer who had
arrested the prisoner. He was large
muscular man, very dark and sinister in
his appearance, and as he took the stand
i saw him scowl at the prisoner, who
was an impulsive passionate Irishman,
ia way that startled me. 1 immedi-
ately asked the defendant if he ever had
any difficulty with the witness, " Yes,
the witness hates me and threatened to
have me hanged" he replied.
After describing the arrest the witness
was asked:
Did you on your way to the county
Jail, have any conversation with the
prisoner in regard to the killing, and if
so, state what he said" He replied
"On our way as we were riding across
the prairie, asked him what made him
strike the deceased, and why he struck
so hard, Prisoner answered. " D
him, I'm glad he is dead; 1 have long
had grudge against him, and Pm d
glad have killed him."

were alone upon the prairie, and there

Start Her up. Jimmy.

A s THE Overland Express was snort

on its way to New York, the engineer
suddenly whistled down brakes, the
conductor frantically shouted and jerked
the signal line, and with many jar
and squeak the long line of cars was
brought to stop.
The cause of this sudden fetchupn

squarely in front of the engine, and
made the most frantic signals for it to
pause.

horse was sixteen feet high, would stick

confession, which he did, and as 1 ex-

his attention to the fact that some time
had passed between the confession and
the trial, and then asked him why, II In
his direct evidence he had given the
identical words, he could not now on
the stand repeat them twice in the same
way. He thought 1t necessary to
strengthen his statement and said:

read 1t over to-day, and 1t is the very

arose and asked him sternly, Where

" In my pocket" said he.
Produce it," said L. 1 knew that
he had no such paper. He turned pale
the sweat rolled down his face.
On my repeating my demand for the
paper, he refused point blank.
L repeated, You have sworn you
wrote down at the time, on paper, the
statement of what the prisoner said
that you have brought with you that
paper to court have read 1t over to-day
and that you have it now in your pock-
ct. Is that true p'
" Yes" said he falteringly.
"Then," said 1 {" will you produce it
and let me see it y"
mo" said he, "no lawyer shall see
my private papers,"
:" Is there anything on the written
paper besides the memorandum of what
the prisoner said"
Yes, ON the same papers are private
writings which no man shall see."
I" Hold the paper in your own hands,
then, SO that can see and read only the
memorandum. Have you any objection
to that ?" said L.
{" You shall not see any of it," said
he. He was sinking deeper and deeper
in the morass.
Very WE'LL" said l.
" Perhaps you will allow the judge or
the jury to see it, If you don't want me
to see it p''
Nobody shall see it," said he.
This has gone far enough" said L.
{" You have no such paper and never had

committed to Jail, until you do produce
it.
The judge made the order, and as the
hour for dinner had come, adjourned. 1
knew that my client was saved but
not by any skill of mine, but what
hardly know how to characterize. But
think we old lawyers often see results
which indicate that there is something
outside of ourselves or any known
agency, which sometimes leads to the
triumph of truth and the protection of
the innocent.
On the coming in of the court the
witness was forced to acknowledge that
he had no such paper, and the states
attorney said :
81 will not ask the jury to place any
reliance upon this Witness"
A verdict of manslaughter and short
imprisonment was the upshot of the
trial.

Out Of the Garden.

There is beautiful garden in which
God places every child that crosses the
boundaries of life and enters this world.
1t is the Garden of Innocence. 1t is
like the Eden of Adam and Eve. A tree
of the knowledge of good and evil is in
it. The fruit of the tree of life grows
there. Satan has found his way into it,
too. No angel is there to drive the child
out. God does not forbid it there. But
there is one door out of this garden. 1t
is the door of sin. And out from this
garden of Innocence, through this door
of sin, into the realm of guilt, the chill
dren are passing, one by one. They
find this door without guidance; for it
is wide, and always open. They cross
its threshold without compulsion. =
What a mercy 1t is that the canopy of
Christ's atonement hangs over all this
outer realm of guilt into which our dear
children are straying with needless feet

ton Union Agricultural Society will be
held, com mencing on Tuesday, August
24th, 1880, and continue four days. The
premium list has heen thoroughly re-
vised, premiums made very liberal, and
every inducement is offered to the Fair
going people to be accommodated, to
see the many attractions that go to
make up real good time. The Ohio
Farmer, date of Aug. 3Oth, 1879, says:
"Never was better Fair held in Lorain
Co., than the Wellington 2tth Union"
The officers for 1880 are striving to
make the 25th Fair equal any County
Fair, as the officers of several County
Fairs said that in many respects we
outdid them last year:
Large premiums are offered on cattle,
horses, sheep, swine and poultry, and
other animals and articles that may be
offered on exhibition. 1t is now but
fouI weeks to the opening day of the
Fair, and every one should begin to
arrange for the exhibition, and let ir be
said that this Fair excels any previous
ole held in Lorain County. The mater

success, and will not be forgotten in
many years. Everybody is invited
