FOUR CR0QUET STRIKES AND NOT A
SMILE.

A great shout went up from the
spectators and players as the pro
fessor walked on the ground with his
little mallet firmly clasped in his
right hand and his trousers neatly
turned up at tho bottoms. He wore
white waistcoat aud apparently was
the only cool mPI in the company.
"Will he do it2" " is asked anxiously.
The professor hac wagered the ice
cream with Mr.. Ford of his own club
that he would make the middle wick
ct across the ground once in four
trials. Every one held his or her
breath. The professor leaned over
his mallet and hit the ball sharp,
pretty tap. 1t jumped in the air and
flew with malicious velocity straight
toward Mr.. Tree. 1t struck him on
sensitive part of the knee He
turned pale and slipped over the
boundary board with mere haste than
dignity. Il haven't got the range
yet" remarked the professor, glanc
ing sharply in the corner where the
Rev. DIR. was surrounded by Ia
dies. They took the hint and moved
off. The second ball went into the
ground and came out behind the
shooter. He looked at his mallet
closing one eye and sighting along
the handle. "Give me another"
Another was brought. He took long
and careful aim. The third ball rose
in the air like toy balloon and fell
heavily upon the bald head of Prof.
Jacobs. Ice water applied by the la
dies relieved the pain. The professor
now had the whole field to himself.
Part of the spectators retired into
the houses and surveyed him from
the attic windows: the bolder ones
peeped out Of horse stall in the
small barn near by. The professor
had not smiled. "The sun shines too
bright" he said. just then the sun
went behind cloud. The professor
did not stop to take aim. The ball
hit the third wicket, caroamed from
there to the turning stake, and back
through the two wickets and the
cage, which it made with a slow
roll. It was fine sight to see the
professor walk to his seat after this
feat. ''That shot was never made be
FORE" he said simply, and the specta
tors, who had now ventured from
their hiding places, agreed with him

PLANTATION PHILOSOPHY.

In de eyes OBJ de worp luck makes
smart man outen fool.
Oars only a mighty short step
'twixt selfishness an dishonesty. II
is strong selfishness dat makes man
steal.
De man wild thinkin' mind is
neber alone 'cept when he's in COM
pany, an is neber in company 'cept
when he's alone.
De man what doan care ter be
credited wild de work what he himsef
does, amt keen ter gin credit ter oder
people fur what da do.
Too much 'portance ken be laid ter
de opennsss OBJ de eye. De owl is
got heap bigger eye den de fox, but
he amt got half as much sense.
De dishones' man often looks up
while de homes man locks down
De smut head OBJ wheat STAINS un
straight but de real head oh grain
bends ober.
When a man wanster prube ebery-
thing what he says Use sorter 'spic-
ious, but when he wants ter bet on
eberything he says, I knows dat he's
liar.
When a rich man is short in bis
accounts. folks says, 'what a pity
but when a po' man is short, da say,
''what rascal dat feller is. l apers
knowed dat he was a thief"
Imitation is sometimes priced high
er den de 'riginal. De mockin' bird
what caws like de crow is more
'spec.ed dan de crow, but he suffers
on dis account, fur de white folks
puts him in a cage. It is a pity dat
all imitaters amt shet up.

APHORISMS OF OLIVER WENDELL
HOLMES.

You may set 1T down as a truth
which admits of few exceptions that
those who ask your opinion really
want your praise.
Memory is a net One finds it full
of fish when he takes it from the
brook, but dozen miles of water
have run through it without sticking,
God bless all good women. To
their soft hands and plying hearts
we must all come at last
Put not your trust in money, but
put your money in trust.
When strong brain is weighed
with true heart it seems like bal
ancing bubble against wedge of
gold.
Controversy equalizes fools and
wise men in the same way-and the
fools know it.
l find the great thing in the world
is not so much where we stand as in
what direction we are moving.
Ii the sense of the ridiculous is
one side of an impressible nature,
it is very well, but if that is all there
is in a man he had better have been
an ape and stood at the head of his
profession at once.
Travellers change their guineas, not
their characters.
There are three little wicks to the
lamp of mans life, brain, blood and
breath. Press the brain little, its
light goes out followed by both the
others. Stop the heart a minute,
and out goes all three of the wicks.
Choke the air out of the lungs and
presently the fluid ceases to supply
the other centres of flame, and ali is
soon stagnation, cold and darkness.
The scientific study of man is the
most difficult of all branches of
knowledge
There are good many real miser
les in life that we cannot help smiling
at, bui they are the smiles that make
wrinkles not dimples.
We must have a weak spot or two
in character before we can love it
much. People that do not laugh or
cry or take more of anything than is
good for them, or use anything but
dictionary words, are admirable sub
jects for biographers. But we don't
care most for these fine pattern flow
ers that press best in the herbarium.
Faith always implies disbelief of a
lesser fact in favor of greater.
The Broad Church, l think, will
never be based upon anything that
requires the use of language. Free
masonry gives the idea of such
church. The cup of cold water does
not require to be transplanted for a
foreigner to understand it, The only
broad church possible is that which
has its creed in the heart and not in
the head.

an angel for a governess and feed on

things that everybody says and no

Or, halfway up the mountain-peak,

Herein lies comfort for my pain:

IL ny not triumph in success,
Despite my earnest labor;

The efforts of my neighbor.
But, though my goal l never see,
This thought shall always dwell with me:

There lies nameess strength i'll this:

which the Governor refused to sign

which the Governor refused to sign
after adjournment was one IN re-
lation to licensing railroads. The
original of this bill was drawn up
by the Railroad Commissioner; It's
design was to oblige the railway
companies to report their annual
earn ngs and mileage, on which tbs
license fee is b sed, to the Railroad
Commissioner instead of to the State
Treasurer. 1t was amended by the
Legislator 40 as to "exclude side
tracks" from the report of mileage.
The Attorney General and Railroad
Commissioner Fl ed their opinions
with the Governor that there were
grave fears that this particular ex.
emption of "side-tracks" might be
80 construed as to allow the rail
road companies TO report spur tracks
in their mileage, and by thus IN
creasing the same, place themselves
in different class and get lower
license imposed. Under the present
law, AZ construed, both side aud
spur tracks are excluded. 1t was
evidently considered by the officials
named, that the act as passed might
develop into a very vicious one and
affect pending litigation on this
very point.
Among the bills which received

TIE public is no doubt surprised
at the growth of the non-polyga-
nous Mormon Church as shown by
the large attendance at the Kirkland
reunion. 1t appears that this branch,
at the head of which is son of the
man who introduced polygsmy
among the Mormous, has been grow
ing in strength upon the borders of
the polygamous church. In Idaho
alone there are said to be 10000 of
the reorganized Mormons who are
AZ bitterly hostile to the Salt Lake
Church as the Gentiles themselves.
II was about forty years ago that
polygamy was made feature of the
Mormon religion, aud about thirty
years ago that it was boldly pr
claimed The Kirkland meeting is
made up of persons who have gone
back to the original creed which
does not approve of polygsmy. This
branch, it is said, is making converts
among the polygam US Mormons in
/ Utah. May success accompany
their noble undertaking.
