scuruple to use lady'sname in reck-
less manner, shun them; they are the
worst members of the Community;
men lost to every sense or honor,
every feeling of humanity. Many a
good and worthy woman's character
has been forever ruined and her heart
broken by lie, manufactured by
some villain, and repeated where it
should not have been, and in the pre-.
sence of those whose judgment could
not deter them from circulating the
foul and Dragging report. A SLAM
der is soon propagated, and the
smallest thing derogatory to a wo-
mans character will fly on the wings
of the wind and magnify as it cir
culates. until its monstrous weight
crushes the poor unconscious victim.
Respect the name of woman. Your
mother and sister are women, and as
You wonld have their fair name un-
tarnished, their lives unembittered
by the slanderer's tongue, heed the
i'll your own words may bring upon
the mother, the sister, or the wife of
some fellow-creature. fIIfe

The Way it is Said.

The Sultan awoke with stifed scream:
His nerves were shocked by fearful dream;
And omen of terrible import and doubt
His teeth in one moment all fell out.
His wisemen assembled at break of day,
And stood by the throne in solemn array.
And when the terrible dream was told
Each felt shudder, his blood ran cold;
And all stood silent, in fear and dread,
Wondering what was best to be said.
At length an old soothsayer, wrinkled and gray,
Cried, "Pardon, my lord, what have to say
"'Tis an omen of sorrow sent from on high
Thou shalt see all of thy kindred die.'
Wroth was the Sultan; he CRASHED his teeth,
And his very words seemed to hiss and seethe,
As he ordered the wiseman bound with chains
And gave him a hundred stripes for his pains.
The wisemen shook as the Sultan's eye
Swept around to see who next would try;
But one of them, stepping before the throne,
Exclaimed, in loud and joyous tone:
"Exult, head of happy stated
Rejoice, o heir of glorious fate!
For this is the favor thou shalt win,
Sultan-to outlive all thy kin!''
Pleased was the Sultan, and called a slave,
And a hundred crowns to the wiseman gave
But the courters they nod, with grave, sly winks,
And each one whispers what each one thinks:
swell can the Sultan reward and blame;
Didn't both the wisemen foretell the same?"
Quoth the crafty old Vizier, shaking his head
$50 much may depend on the way things said!''
Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1884-08-18
A ROMANCE.

Father. ,.4
Thus spoke fair girl, about whose
sweet young face clustered a bang
like solid stone wall around fow-
er garden, and is whose voice were
mingled the soft notes of the flute
and the silvery notes of dinner-bell
half an hour late. The person add
ressed was cold, hard man, with
iron gray hair and corkscrew whiskers,
and with that stern look in his eyes
which prompts a man to go elsewhere
to borrow a dollar. He was sitting
in his office reading the morning
paper. aet
Well, girl, what is it? he replied,
looking at the head lines of Chicago
grainmarket dispatches.
Father, Gerald has asked me to
marry him, and I have accepted him.
| don't doubt it..
Yes, father; and I thought that I
would tell you, so it would not sur
prise you when he asked you for me.
Don't worry yourself, girl. Don't
worry yourself. will not be half as
much surprised as Gerald will, my
darling, and he refectively threw his
right leg up over his left knee and
run his hand carefully around the toe
of his boot. 9jae9a asfs
