Sound to the core, every one.
I'm an eastern city, not long ago,a Sis
ter of Charity was dying, ana at last IRON
4 stupor she opened her eyes ana salo !;
ut is strange; every kind worc that l
have spoken in my life. every tear that l
have shed, has become living flower
around me, and they bring to my senses
an incense ineffable.
May tho records of the New Year be
filed with kind words, and deeds Of char.
ity, that will not only rise as sweet in.
cense in the dying hour, but make our
Ices more blessed, and like the sunlight
on the hilltop, light up every shadow.
"A wholesale grocer in this city, who
became rich in his business, says his rule
always was, when he sold bill of goods
on credit, to Immediately subscribe tor
the local paper of his debtor. So long as
his customer advertised literally and Wig.
orously, he rested, but as soon as he be.
gan to contract his advertising space, he
took the fact a. evidence that there was
trouble ahead, and he lnvar iably went
for his debt. Said he, "the man who is too
poor to make his business known, is too
poor to do business" The Withdrawing
OF an advertisement is an evidence of
weakness that business men are not slow
to act upon.-Ne,o York Times.
The Misses Banning, Of St. Paul,
who are to give the people OF Austin two
evenings of rare dramatic and literary
recltals Feb. 10th and 11th,) are deserv-
ing of big house. Read what the
Pioneer Press, of q recent date, has to
say of them:
1t is no small degree of pride that the
people OF St. Paul should feel, IN count
ing among their number, two young
ladies Of such decided and marked talent
as are the Misses Banning; and it is graf
flying to be able to announce that they
have decided to give entertainments of
high order of excellence, at the princi.
pal places in the State. In the play of
the Unequal Match" they surprised
their intimate friends by the finish and
beauty of their acting.
Both are possessed of rich, finely modu-
lated voices. Every word was thrown to
the remotest point OF the spacious and
densely packed auditorium. This IS the
result of strict and conscientious study,
which has produced the perfection of
meditation and enunciation.-St Paul
Psoneer.P Pros, Dec. 18th, 1879.
