The Wellington enterprise. [volume] (Wellington, Ohio) 1867-188?, 1881-01-20

From the lips OF an Irishman heard the
following. He was an honest faithful day
laborer, but given to much conceit and the

yourself you talk ironically, little more
would put you on the track Of waubasity.

"X" wants to know why 3 man may not
have a respectable sized boil Of good moral
character on the end OF his proboscis without
having every man who meets him ask:
"well, now, Y, how much cider did it take
To give your bugle that color? not less than
two to four barrels, 1 suppose?" "Ah, you
must be a local optionist," etc, etc, all Of
which is interesting and complimentary to a
fellow who has been laid up for three days
with one of those aforesaid improvements to
his countenance. But you should have
heard him tell how, while lying down read
ing out of bound book, and getting a little
sleepy, the hook slipped from his grasp and
and fell square on that already too much
abused ornament, bringing him back to

been heard over in the northwestern part of
the town without effort. He declares that
the only convenient place for o boil, is upon
your neighbor with whom you have a dis

The Sunday-school Institute held In the
Church lsst week was es-
pecially profitable to those who could as
teachers put in practice the suggestions
made. We had the opportunity of hearing
discussed only the topics assigned to y.
8. Albright, d. C. Foote and r. H. Kinnison,
and the evening addresses of Mr.. Pond, all !
Of which were worthy of the close attention |
they received. The answers to the written |
questions gathered up were assigned to dif- |
ferent members of the institute, men and |
women, to which the replies were ready and |
clear. Mr.. Pond is the most indulgent of |
and gives such prompt praise |
and encouragement as will incline pupils |
never to be afraid to undertake the task as
signed them. Professor Kinnison saw proof |
Of the moral progress of the times, in the in |
attention paid to and sums expend-
I'd in religious, educational, reformatory and
work; in the greater unity be-
tween different denomination of christians,
who agree in all essentials for extending the
Of Christ, and for elevating the
standard of individual piety. The Young |
Mems and other Christian Associations,
whose work has been so signally blessed in
the waste places, and establish
ing religious worship, mission Sunday
the nucleus OF future chapels and |
self sustaining societies, he alluded to as
something that would have been impossible
/ few decades ago, and as one Of the happy |
outgrowths Of moral and religious progress.
