through it without sinking.
God bless all good women. To their
soft hands and plying hearts we must
all come Mt last.
Put not your trust in money, but put
your money in trust.
When a strong brain is weighed with
true heart, 1t seems to be like balanc-

Controversy equalizes fools and wise

If the sense of the ridiculous Is one
side Of an irrepressible 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

Travellers change their guineas, but
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 9TH

goes all three Of the wicks. Choke the
air out Of the lungs, and presently the
fluid ceases to supply the other oenters
OF flame, and all is soon stagnation, cold
and darkness.
There are good many real miseries
in life that we cannot help smiling at,
but they are the smiles that make
wrinkles and not dimples.
We must have weak spot or two in a
character before we can love it much.
People who do not laugh or cry or take
more Of anything that is good for them,
or use anything but dictionary words,

Here Is balmy little thing,
The nest is built In the tree,
And the apple limbs are showing
Their blooms In the fragrant lea.
The bird to his mate is singing,
The lambkin skips on the hill,
And the rosy clover's springing
Beside the gurgling rill.
Sir Strephon his love is signing,
The cricket begins to chirp,
And the boy In the back yards
The can to be brindled purp.
Above the lake in the hollow
That mirrors a cloudless sky
Is darting the airy swallow,
And the purple dragon-fly.
The bumble-bee in the garden
Runs riot the live-long day,
And Maud in her Dolly Warden
Plucks flowers along the way.
Sir Strephon his love is signing,
The orickets begin to chirp,
And the boy In the back yards
trying
The can to be brindled purp.

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 20.--The latest special
advices from the City of Mexico to the
Globe-Democra says: The authorities
here deny that any of the conspirators
have been shot. Gen. Chavarria is to be
sent to Nucatan. Extreme secrecy is
maintained by the authorities regarding
the trial and disposition to be made by
the Government of the prisoners. The
Diario officially publishes the con-
tents in full of the revolutionary procla-
nation seized at Jordon's house. There
are many strong points in IL against the
existing administration. The conspiracy
had not sufficient backing to warrant an
insurrection, and could not have sue
ceeded in any event for lack of men and
money. The business situation is duller
than ever before known here.
