"CONSIDER ME SMITH,

There is very good story in the papers Of
the day, joke (?) which was played by old
DR.. Caldwell, formerly Of the University Of
North Carolina. The old doctor was small
man, and lean, but hard and angular as the
most irregular of pine knots.
He looked as if he might be tough, but he
did not seem strong. Nevertheless, he was,
among the knowing ones, reputed to be as
agile as cat; and in addition, was by no
means deficient in knowledge Of the mobile
science of selfdefence." Besides, be vas as
cool as cucumber. Well, in Ghe freshman
class, of certain year, was g. burly beef
mountaineer of 1S or 10. This genius con.
ceived great contempt for old Bolus' physi.
cal dimensions; and his soul was horrifed
that one so deficient in muscle should be so
potential in his rule.
Poor Jones-that's what we'll call him
had no idea of moral force At any rate, he
was not inclined to knock under, and be con-
trolled despotically by man that he imagin-
ed that he could tie and whip. He at length
determined to give the gentleman genteel
private thrashing, some night in the College
Campus, pretending to mistake him for some
fellow student.
Shortly after, on dark and rainy night,
Jones met the doctor crossing the Campus.
Walking up to him abruptly, he said:
Hello, Smith you rascal-is that you p
And with that be struck the old gentleman a
blow on the side of the face that Dearly felled
him.
Old Bolus said nothing, but squared him
self, and at it they went. Jones youth, weight
and muscle, made him an "ugly customer" !"
but after a round or two, the doctors science
began to tell, and in short time he had
knocked his beefy antagonist down, and was
astraddle on his chest, with one hand on his
throat and the other dealing vigorous cuffs on
the side of the head.
"Ah! stop. All! stop. I beg pardon, doc
tor! Doctor Caldwell-a mistake-for heav-
ems sake, doctor p groaned Jones, who
thought he was about to be eaten up. 81 re-
ally thought it was Smith,
The doctor replied with word and blow
alternately:
ut makes no difference, for all present pur-
poses consider me Smith J"
And it is said, old Bolus gave Jones such
pounding, then and there, as probably pre-
vented his ever making another mistake as to
personal identity-at least on the College
Campus.

THE NINTH COMMANDMENT.

"Thou shalt not bear false witness against
thy neighbor," is the language of the ninth
precept of the decalogue. There is nothing
more offensive in the sight of God, or more
injurious to society than falsehood. God is a
God of truth, and hates a lie. One of the
characteristics might say the character
istic-of the devil, is that he is a liar. Or
his children, it may be said that they 60 astray
from the womb, speaking lies.
The word neighbor, in the ninth command
ment, we suppose, is to be taken in its Scrip
tural import, and not in the limited sense i'll
which it is often, at present, used. In the
Scriptures, not only those who live near US,
but all men with whom we come in contact,
are our neighbors. This being the case, We
may render the language of the ninth com.
mandment thus: ''Thou shalt not bear false
witness against any member of the human
family" Falsehood strikes deadly blow at
the character and property Of Others 1t is
scarcely conceivable that any weapon can be
more destructive than the tongue of the Sian.
derer. Compared with spotless character,
gold and silver, houses and lands, are trash.
This good name, which the highest authority
says is better than rubies, the tongue of the
slanderer blackens. But by the slanderer,
Naboth lost both his life and his property.
From the wording of the ninth command.
ment, the reference seems to be specially to
the matter of witness bearing. We are not
however, to conclude that we are required to
tell the truth when we are under oath, but at
other times we may, with impunity, tell d
falsehood. Such conclusion would be fool
ishly absurd and blasphemously wicked. IT
is wrong, at any time, and under any and all
circumstances, to tell falsehood. There are
many circumstances in which it would be i'm.
proper to tell the truth. Silence is sometimes
duty. Every person has not a. right to
know all that we may know. Every human
being knows some facts which he ought not
to reveal to his most intimate friend. Blu,
while we are bound by prudence sometimes to
keep silent, it is never our duty to utter a
falsehood. Whenever we speak, God de-
mands that we speak the truth.

THE FEET.

boots that do not fit comfortably and allow
ample space for the proper movements OF the
Joints of the feet and toes bunions, which are

nation of small sac or burss situated over
the joint of each great toe !; weak ankles,
which are very commonly produced by wear.
ing the fashionably made boots with high
heels, together with relaxed condition of
the muscles and tsndens of the leg in-grow-
ing toe nails, which are not only most painful,
but also take some time to be thoroughly
cured, and necessitate actual operative inter-
ference; chilblains, which although they
may and do take place in those that wear
tight boots, are invariably the outcomes
of them, from interrupted circulation; cold
feet, from the same cause; and last, but by
far the worst of Ill, an actual diseased con
dition of one or more joints either of the toes
or the foot itself: All these, then, may be the
wages we have to pay for the comparatively
small pleasure of being considered possessed
of "a pretty foot.
But because you are not to wear tight
fitting boots, it is no reason that you should
90 to the other extreme and wear the hideous
unshaped things that are often seen. All, l
wish TO insist on is that you should be salts
fed with the size and shape of the foot Prov
idence may have ordained you to be the pos
SCISSOR of, and do your best to maintain it in
its natural and healthy condition. How,
then can this be done but by having your
boots made exactly and comfortably to fit
you by never allowing your bootmaker to
measure your foot while raised from the
ground, remembering that your foot expands
quite one twelfth of its length, and laterally
still more, when the weight of the body is
upon it; by having last made the exact
shape of your foot, and always having your
boots made upon it +; by never wearing those
abominable high and narrow pointed heels,
which are positively dangerous, ungainly, and
certain to lead to bad results and finally,
by having the soles Of your boots made OF
fairly substantial thickness, and not of too
soft or porous leather.
By these means, then, you will be enabled
to take the exercise absolutely necessary for
your bodily health, to venture on the long
est walks with no dreaded prospects of dis
comfort, and to retain for your feet in your
old age their normal shape and condition
and the price you will have to pay for this
much.coveted end is the mere loss of the
whispered compliment, dropped from the lips
of ofthoughtless men or ignorant fools, "What
pretty foot!

BARN WEEvILs.-These are, not, as some
suppose, brought into the granary in the
wheat. 1t is an insect that attacks the grain
only after it is harvested. A new granary
should be so constructed as to afford no crev.
ices to harbor the insect, and the door and
other openings should close so tightly at
every point that weevil can not enter, and
whatever spaces are to be left open for venti-
lation must be covered with wire gauze, fine
enough to exclude it. In France, the recep.
tacles are often built of sheet-iron. In an old
granary, known % be infested by weevils,
there is but one Sc fe course, which is to store
the grain elsewhere for two years, at the end
of which time the weevls will be starved out.
"W. K. w." Lancaster county, writes US
that in two cases within his knowledge the
weevils have been starved in this manner.
If the wheat is threshed in the barn, care
must be taken to leave no scattered grain,
and straw is to be stored in the barn only in
case it has been thoroughly threshed.
