TO ask a post master or clerk
to put stamp upon your letter, is
n breach of courtesy that, upon re-
Election, no lady or gentleE an would
commit. 1t is simply asking for
the use of his mouth us licking
machine--a use to which most peo-
pie would decidedly object. Imagine
the condition Of the poor mans
stomach and tasting organs at night
after performing for the community
a-day's service Of this kind. which
everybody has the same right to ask
as You have. "Sozodont" couldn't
swecten his breath or his disposition
When your p. NJ, declines to lick
your stamp, don't go to eayortin
round, and talking race track latin
to the boxes, and accusing him of
being above his business, and fright
ming him to death with the assur-
ance that yeu'ye got some influence
with the department yet, and get on
your "dig" and shake your head
ominously at him, but vote him
man Of taste and sense, and click"
your own stamp instead of him.
Uncle Sam furnishes everything
needful for his childrcn's use except
Government spit.
Men sometimes over shoot the
mark in finding fault with others.
The best way, il your neighbor has
a fault that should be corrected, is
to go to him privately, point it out
to him in a kindly manner, and
thus show him his mistake. If n
man has good sense he. viii not only
thank you for the kindness, but win
endeayor to profit by tiff for no
other reason than that he desires to
merit your good opinion. To snarl
at a man because he is wrong, is to
rate yourself unworthy Of confidence
BE manly and your faults, however
glaring will meet with less DISPOSE
tion to criticisc and more to aid YOU
in reformation. No man is perfect
that is impossible. because VIC are
told that only God is perfect. Man
| is conceived i'm sin and brought
forth in iniquity," therefore it is
impossible for the finite to reach
the infinite, but you can be always
true to the higher and better in
stincts of your nature, Judge not
lest We be judged" Set not the
seal OF condemnation on a man, be-
cause it may be that the difficulties
he battles against would be more
than you could possibly overcome.
To be just is to strike the golden
mein that opens the way to the
hearts Of men.
| There arc almost always some
people in every community who inn
agine themselves, to use common
phrase, Every smart, and they are
generally Of the busybody kind.
| One Of those can do more harm in \
town or neighborhood than dozen
good people can set at rights. No
minister ever comes into a place but
what these .'smart" ones, can pick
any amount of flaws in his every
day walk, or his sermons are always
too long or too short, too soft or
too hard, or che can't preach" and
a hundred other imaginary imper-
fections which the less prctcntious
never think Of mentioning. But
these knowing ones do not stop here;
for no enterprise was ever started
bnt what is entirely contrary Ia their
views. Other folks never build a
pig-pcn, smoke house. a barn, a
dwelling, a school house or church
to suit these babblcrs; and no ncws-
paper ever was run" according to
their ideas of the business, and
won't have nothing to 40 with it,
aud Ill keep everybody else from ii
