Whistling.

I never knu good whistler but he'd

posed of pucker and wind, and these
tew accomplishments denote vigger.
Sum people always whsle WHARF
thare il danger. This they do to keep
the fraid out of them. When | was a
boy, l always considered whissling the
next best thing to kandle to go down
cellar with in the mite time.
The best whisslers l hev ever herd
hav been among the negroes, q make
this remark with the highest respekt to
the accomplishments of the whites). 1
have herd South Karoliny darkey
whistle so natural that mocking-bird
would drop a worm out ov his bill, and
talk back to the old boy.
A fust rate whistler IL like mid
dling-sized fiddle, good for nothing
else; and although whissling may keep
man from getting lonesome, it won't
keep him from getting ragged.
| never knu bee hunter but what
was good whistler, and don't kno of
any bizneSS on the breast ov the earth
that will make man so lazy and use
less, without aktually killing him, az
hunting bees in the wilderness.
Hunting bees and writing sekondrate
verses, are evidence of some geenyus,
but either of them will unfit man for
a good days work.
| don't want any better evidences ov
the general onesty there is in whistle,
| than the fact that there amt nothing
dog will answer quicker than the whis-
sic ov his master; and dogs are as good
judges of onesty as any critter that
| lives.
1t is hard to phool dog once, and
it is next to impossible to phool him a
sekend time.

For "THE UNION" :"
BELIEF.
BY BESSIE ALLEN.

Better to trust and be deceived,
Trust once, aye, many times again,
Than lose thy faith in all mankind,
Believe all things were made in vain.
If thou hast found one base, untrue,
Who has thee some injustice done,
View not all through suspicious eye,
Is't fair to judge of all by one?
Oh, lose not then, thine old belief,
Though finding many false, unkind,
For mayst thou not, though oft deceived,
All unawares true heart find?
Better believe in any creed,
Than think and reason till thou be
skeptic and in time shall doubt
Of God and immortality.
But if thou hold to thy belief
In God and own how great thy need
Of His sustaining strength and grace,
1t matters not what is thy creed.

See here,' said the managing editor
kindly but firmly to the young man who
had Just come to do to the fires and dog
fights and assume general charge OF
the entire paper; you must be little
more careful in your grammar and
spelling. You make too much trouble
for the compositors and proof-reader.
You say in this article 'he had went
and I'VE have never saw Then you
spell Separate with two p's and four
e's, and you say I'VE have come to the
conclution' and that we are horratide
at the bear ideea.' Now you must be
more careful and
saw well, look here, Shorty cried
the young man, give a fellow chance.
You got to remember I've been in col
lege for eight years and haven't had a
chance to learn anything about the
English language. All the time we
could spare from rowing and football
was absorbed on Greek and Latin, you
know The managing editor forgave
him and promoted him to the carrier

The Worlds Telegraphs

Last year there were strung about
this mundane sphere 100000 miles of
telegraph line The United States out
ranks the world as far as the telegraph
is concerned, both as to extent Of wire
and number Of messages sent Last
year there were 65,000,000 messages
sent in this country to 100000 in
Great Britain, 100000 in Germany.
and 100000 in France. Russia
sends about l0,00o,000 of kilograms
year. Switzerland 100000, Spain g.
100000, Turkey little over 100000,
Belgium 100000 and Austria 9,000,.
900. Mexico has 460 telegraph offices,
and it sends about 100000 kilograms
year. Japan has l25 offices and sends
nearly 100000 kilograms a year. 1t
is a characteristic fact, showing the
progress of the two nations, that the
japanese, with smaller territory and
much less population, send three times
as many messages as China.
With the 65,000,000 kilograms sent
last year, the United States had 1000
telegraph offices and 154,650 miles of
lines. The mileage is larger to-day
than then, and the wires are more
generally used. Of these messages
the average cost per message OF those
sent by the Western Union was thirty
and nineteenth cents, and the average
profit per message was fifteen and six
tenth cents. In 1868 the Western
Union had about one-tifth of its pres
ent mileage, and its charge per mes
sage was on the average over twice as
great At that time it made profit
of forty-one cents per message In
1884 the Western Union had l45,000
miles of wire. 1t sent more than A.
100000 messages and took in nearly
s20,000000 in receipts.-Cleoelond
