A Mormon with plurality OF lean wives

Sitting Bull has fairly turned farmer. He

Victor Hugo's latest epigram, sent to an
audacious lady autograph Aend in Michigan,
is this: ''To love is to act" Yes, not in
frequently to act like a fool.-Boston Herald.
I'VE do not live broadly enough" said Pro-
lessor Swing, of Chicago, in his Sunday SER

When we were ten years old we used to
think, while gazing in the window OF a

Blaekwood says of George Eliot's mode of
composition: 'She was the most careful
and accurate among authors; her beautifully
written manuscript, free from blur or era
sure, and with every letter delicately and
distinctly finished, was only the outward
and visible sign of inward labor, which she

never given the chickens chance 70 show
what they can do. Many a good farmer
who keeps his horses, cattle and hogs in a
good warm barn, well fed, allows the poultry

the summer months, bat even then it would
pay much better to feed and water regularly
twice each day. Last winter we kept half q
dozen Plymouth Rocks in g good warm
place, and was surprised when our good
wife told Us the amount OF eggs we had got

Payments, and that if they continue TO do so
he will thrust them back "to their old in
feriority," celebrated clergymen said in
dignantly that ST John in the Book of Rev
Citations was mistaken in the number of

tribute 70 an old friend, says:
Horace Heffen, who died at Salem, Ind, sun
day, was an extraordinary man 10 many other re-
spects than his size and weight. He had brain
commensurate with his body, and in an intellectu-
81 struggle was hard man to down. he had the
ability 10 make great man in law and politics.
and doubtless would nave made great man II he
had been possessed OF viii power enough TO over
throw an appetite which has caused ruin and dis
aSter to so many OF our ablest men. In the last
session OF the Indiana Legislature, Horace He1ren
stood by himself, aud was by odds the most able
man IN either branch Of the Assembly. He repre-
senied the people of the State with honor and
credit and won the respect ana confidence OF the
members of the House ana Senate, irrespective of
politics, he wasa true and good Democrat, ar
deny devoted 10 the great principles OF his party
handed down By jefferson and Jackson, the faith

he loved as he w6s fierce and unrelentng 70 those
whom he hated Like most large mens be vas a
