Josh Billings On Infidelity.

Did you ever hear ov a mans renouncinr
Christianity on hiz deth-bed, and turning in
fide?
Gamblers, nor free-thnkers, haven't faith
enuff in their profession to teach it to their
children.
No atheist, with all hz boosted bravery. haz
ever yet dared to advertize hiz unbeleaf on hiz
tune stun.
never haV met free thinker yet who didn't
beleave hundred times more nonsense than he
kan find in the Bible ennywhere
1t liz alwuss safe to follow the religious beleaf
that our mothers taught us,-there never waz a
mother yet who taught her child to be an in
fidel.
A man may learn infdeity from books. and
from hIz associates, but he kant learn it from
hiZ mother, nor the works ov God that surround
him.
If an infdel could only komprehend that he
kan prove more bi hiZ faith than he kan bi hiz
reazon, hiz impudence would be mulch less
offensive.
Unbeleavers are allwuss SO reddy and anxious
10 prove their unbeleaf, that l hav thought
they mite be just leetle doubtful about it
themselfs.
The infidel, in hz impudence, will ask WI to
prove that the flood did occur, when the poor
idiot himself, kant even prove, to save hiz life,
what makes one apple sweet and one sour, or
tell Will a hens egg liz white, and duk's egg
blue
When l hear noiZy infldel prOkaimng hiz
unbeiief. l wonder If he will send for sum
brother infidel to cum and see him die l guess
not. He will be more likely to send for the
orthodox man, who engineers the little brick
church just around the kOrner. ri

Glow about that story in the Washington

own business replied that was doing So
and turned to walk away. The next instant he
had me by the neck and planted two blows in
my face. He was a very big man. at least six
feet tall. l couldn't break from him at first,
but managed to run him against the bar. Then
got free. l struck him one with my left which
made him draw back. and then gave him
swinging blow with my right over the left eve

What became of the major?"

to choke me and given me two blows

Mustachcs and Whiskers.

Letter 10 the Editor of the London Spectator
Mr.. Freeman, in last weeks Spectator, tells us
that in the days of Sir Roger de Coverley the
hair on the upper lin kept the name Of "whis-
kers." This was not the only name, however,
as the following passage from Robinson Cru
soc" will SHOW. quote Macmillan's re
print of the edition Of l7l9: my beard had
once suffered to grow till it was about a quarter
of Yard long, but as l had both Scissors and
RazOrs sufficient, l had cut 1t pretty short, ex-
cept what grew on my upper Lip. which had
trmm dintO large pair of Mahonleton Whiskers,
such as had seen worn by some Turks, who

tho the Turks did; of these Muschatoes or

to hang my Hat upon them; but they were of a
Length and Shape mOnstrous enough, and such
as in England would have pass'd for irightful. -

The Highland EFeaddress.
From the London World.

hear on undoubted authority that change
in the headdress of our Highland regiments is
imminent. The gallant and time hOnored feather
bonnet is to be superseded by hybrid helmet,
heavy and cumbersome to be covered with dark
blue cloth and swathed in ellis of tartan green
red or yellow. according to the corps. Over the
surface appear an ola pod'ida of devices

Scotch heraldry can confer; while, to crown ALL
the lion rampant of Scotland surveys the motley
chaos at his feet, and. fixed by brooch to the
side, a tall red-and-white plume energies, rem
derng the whole edifice lopsided. The mere
specific gravity Of this armor would add mo-
mentum to charge, and would inspire sable
bosoms with misgvngs. But despite these adj
vanta@es, the anticipated change is viewed with
intense dIsfavor by every gallant Highlander in
her maestY's service

''Who broke the matct?"
"His father. You see Charlie is clerk in a

he met Minnie at Mrs.--'s masquerade last win
ter, and they fell in love. You remember she was
dressed in the character of a flower girl. and
wore the same white tarlatan, though cut
shorter, that she graduated in two years ago.
Well. you know they went on excursions dur

awfully in love. My gracious! don't see how
they could have been so desperate. They deter

when everything had been arranged. one day

ClipDcd Horses.
Icks County Intelligencer.

From the Bucks County Intelligencer.
Horse clipping is growing In popularity, and
many clipped animals may be seen now where
one was seen few years ago. Some people
think it cruel to clip horse, but there is at
least question whether it Is or not. Any one
who has driving horse to take care OF finds 1t
so much less trouble when the beast is clipped
that he will have it done. and blanket we'll " hen
the horse is standing out. 1t is Just possible
that sympathy may be wasted In plying Clipped
horses. and it is certain that remonstrance is
wasted by those who inveigh against the prac-
tice.

At Ancona, In Italy, 100 priests have held

Boston's Law and Order league never brings
a suit on evidence obtained by spy In that
way it finds places where liquor is sold, but
waits for other and legitimate proofs before
commencing an action.
Bummers have been at the font this year at

have had things their own way. ''Some MEM

Every commune, every mir is gov
emed just the way 1t wants to be. The
Russian mir IS the perfect realization OF
the perfect commune dreamed of BY
certain Occidental socialists. The prop
erty of the commune is indivisible, and
as each has always more land than i,
IS possible to cultivate. regular con.
ference is held every year and decis-
ion made as to what part of the soil
shall be planted and what products
shall be cultivated. Every soul in the
village is employed in the work and
after harvest the profits are equally di-
vlded. The mir" has the privilege
of banishing lazy or worthless char
acters. 1t a crime be committed all the
inhabitants are held responsible until
the guilty party is found. In the same
way every member of the community
IS held responsible for the payment of
taxes. But in practice things do NOT
run 50 smoothly by any means as the
theory ofthe system might lead one to
suppose. There are pleny of lazy folks,
turbulent and dangerous characters,
ambitious men, and over all these tow.

the second part Of Louisa M. Alcott's
charming child story, "Little Pyramus

All big and little people who are

about big and a little pet of which
John R. Coryell writes. They are re-.
spectively an elephant seal which was
once tanned by a sailor, and which was
the Largest Pet in the World" and a
Breton midget sheep" SO small as to
hide behind a bucket. There is also
an entertaining chapter on army pets

amusing anecdote of how General
Grant once had to gothirsty.
The two popular Serials, "The Tink-

Edward S. Ellis, are brought to emi-
