4 Quarter of Mutton.

Extract from letter to the Cover.
nor of Arkansas:
Il send you by John Cobbletree, one
of my neighbors, quarter of mutton
and a mess of young squirrels. | dc
this just because l like the course you
have always took. killed the squir.
rels yistidy, an L know they air fresh.
Thar amt nothin' nicer than young
squirrels. l eat 'em sometimes till 1
am iii to pop. Now let me say some
thing about the mutton. 1t Is fresh
an fat, an l hope you will enjoy it.
One of my neighbors lost sheep the
other day, an he has accused me of
stealin' it. He has had me arrested,
an l am now in Jail. He came to my
house, an grabbed holt of q sheep that
had jest killed, but managed to
keep enough to send to you. | am
mighty fond of sheep meat, an when |
am right hongry ken eat it till l am
fit to pop. My trial will come on in
day or two, an the way things are
shapin' l am afeerd they will put it to
me jes fur joke. These folks out
here air the prankinist set of people L
ever seen. They air allus happy when
they kin git joke on a prominent man
like me. L wouldn't be surprised if
they carry the joke so far as to want to
send me to the penitentiary. This
would hurt my chances for the Legis-
lature. don't want to be beat, but if
they keep me shut up very long the
other Teller will git ahead of me. At
ter you eat your mutton 1 wisht you
would write note to the Sheriff, an
tell him to let me out. Say, / forgot
to tell you that the gran jury has been
let into the joke, an that they have
brought in joke of an indictment
ag'in' me. They may try me, an pass
the joke of sentence on me before
your note gifts here, so 1 wish you
would write out pardon after you eat
: your mutton, an tell the Judge that L
am free. i know the joke will tickle
you, and you may make the pardon
just as arusin' as you please.

Dead Souls.

An old physician remarked lately {:
There is no study in human nature so
difficult TO me as certain class of
young girls. L spent q part of this
summer with two specimens of this
class. They had the usual amount of
capacity for observing, and understand
Gated at much cost to their parents I;
both were constant attendants at
church.
L saw nothing in their faces, man
ners, or bearing to argue that they
were imbecile. Their mother was an
invalid, nearing the grave. Nothing
could be more touching than the pa
tient, appealing gaze with which her
eyes followed them, watching for some
signal of affection. But they had eyes
and thought for nothing but a gown
they were making. They were used to
her love, her illness, even to the thought
of her death.
II walked out with them through
a great forest, under the solemn stars.
They saw no beauty, no sublimity in
them. They chartered necessarily of
the new trimming of their bonnets.

trees and stars. The only thing APP
parently to which they were not used
were the changes in ribbons, puffs, and
founces.
Il went to church with them, and
listened to the great 'Te Deum' which
has come down to us through many
ages, and filled the hearts of countless
worshipers of God. They nudged
each other while they sang it to look at
beaded cloak in the next pew.
"We physicians now test the temper
ature of a patients body, and if we find
it below a certain degree, know that
death is already in the heart. When l
find so low a degree of temperature in
the words, actions, and thoughts of a
human body, begin to fear that the
soul within is cold and dead beyond re-
call"
Old John Bunyan taught us the same
lesson in his picture of the man with
the muckrake, who necessarily scraped
together the foul, perishable stuff, and
kept his eye bent on it, while the great
world opened around him, and the
wind blew, and the sun shone, and God
waited for him behind them all.

is it that we gather p Youths CompdH.

Survival OF the FitteSt.

"No, Parson," said Farmer Thistle
pod resolutely shaking his head, good
and evil amt equally distributed in this
world, not by long chalk. See, here
l drop into the ground one e. ain of
good wheat. Now. straight away after
that one wee little atom of good come

bugs, army worms, wire worms, blight,
rust, drought, mildew, freshets late

what it has to struggle agin. But then,

up a CHEEKY red poppy and hurl it over
into the highway, reckon if 'twasn't so
good as it is we wouldn't take the in
terest in helpin' it along an fghtin for
its life as we do" And with shout
that scared the very guinea hens into
silence, he started the dog across the
field to warn away party of young
people who were swarming over the
fence to gather few armfuls of wheat
to make winter baskets. brooklyn

Lips.
bips'
ldn for smiles and kisses


Lips were made for smiles and kisses.
Birds cannot smile, flowers cannot kiss,
nothing on the earth can smile and kiss but
man. A smile is the color love wears, q
kiss is demonstrative expression of affec-
ton. smile is the light in the window of
the face, kiss is the swapping of loves
fire in the heart
smile has come TO be in these degen-
crate days often a meaningless thing; Il
kiss. through the custom of its indiscrim-
mate use. is frequently but little more.
This yulgarization of the kiss is prof
anation. 1t should be one of the hottest
demonstrations of the soul, but among some
people-not all-and especially between
bubbling over, demonstrative femininity, a
kiss pops n good morning, whiZZes good
evening, sputters here and fzzles there. I'M
til a sensitive refinement causes us TO set
our teeth, brace our lips, and abide the
shock as hest we can.
Indeed, IL has come to such pass that
even Miss Prim is obliged 10 look sharply
TO the dew on her lips, or ten to one it Is
spirited away on some graceless mustache.
All of which is high handed sacrilege,
and We herewith enter our protest and leave
the further discussion of its propriety to
the sages.
In seeking more light upon this tantaliz-
ing subject, we are convinced we cannot do
better than consult the poets. 1t would
seem from the exuberant fashion in which
they gush over Intoxicating kisses, "dewy
lips, aud heaven born smiles" that they
have doomed the market and made corner
in the commodity.
The bards. so far as we have been able
to find, have neglected to sing of masculine
smiles and kisses. What however, is more
| tha 80
mention mans kiss?
The faint tiutter of the mustached corners
of his mouth, the gentle parting of the full
lips, and then the round, hearty laugh. ac-
companied by the sly twinkle of the bright
eve.
That is one kind of a masculine smile
There is yet another, a description of
which we will have to omit-he generally
goes out between acts to indulge in it.
When you come TO investigate a mascu-
line kiss you will find that, strictly speak
ing, there is no such thing in nature-it is
always a mixed matter.
But to return to the poets. II was Shak-
speare who told us what a womans lip was
for. He says:
Teach not thy lip such scorn for il was mado
For kissing, lady, not for such contempt"
Commenting upon this quotation, not
long since, gentleman presumably well
up in the science remarked that, Judging
from these words, Shakespeare was in the
habit of kissing only one lip of his sweet
heart, and If that were so he had lost
| half the delights of the operation. When
any kissing was done it should be spread
all over the mouth. Perhaps some mex
perienced youth may profit by this hint.
fold Shakespeare was priggish in his ideas
of kissing. il would seem Byron was pos
sessed OF the opposite qualities, expressed
| by the same word, with the letter Il omitted
-piggish. In speaking of lovely woman,
he says:
/ Il love tho sex and sometimes would reverse
The tyrant's wish that all mankind but had

One neck, which he with one fell stroke might
pierce.
NV wish is quite as wide, but not as bad;
That womankind had but one rosy mouth
To kiss them all Mt once from north To SOUTH"
Byron certainly lived before his time-he
would have made such dear, delightful
Latter Day Saint"
We do not recall any exact quotation, but
there has been great deal of nonsense
written about lips so bedaubed with nectar
that bees would leave the dewy rose to sip
their sweets. If there ever was such an
idiotic bee it must have been long time
ago-none are ever discovered at that
in that respect.
A kiss is an unfailing barometer. The
initiated can tell "the signs of the times"
invariably. IL is sure indication of n cold
wave if the young lady's best beau tells her
her kisses are ever so much sweeter than
the girls across the way.
There Is sure To be storm if the young
woman's father catches him in the act.
There will be heavy clouds in the sky if,
when he is just about to kiss her, he stops
short and asks her shows her mother"
The rule is just as sure when the girl has
been eating onions.
If he puts his arms around her like a
bear and almost smothers her when he
kisses her, they are not married. IL he
comes up with his hands in his pockets and
gives her q. tasteless smack, the probabili-
ties are that they are.
After all, what would a girl be without
lips? She might be blind, and yet be beau
full. She might be bald, and yet wear some
other woman's hair. But if she had no lips
! life would be a desert drear.
All, it is woman's lips that try mems
souls!-ARnie +. Myers, an Chicago

Bad LAWYERS Good Judges.

"Yes," said the old fellow who had
been beaten for Superior Court Judge
at the last election; "yes. bad lawyers
always make good Judges. Most bad
lawyers are given to conscience and
honesty"
"Well-Judge-
"That's all right. I'm bad lawyer.
That's why 1 wanted to be Judge. 1t
saves you lot of trouble and teaches
you your business when other lawyers
fill you up with facts and figures of
the law. a good lawyer can never be
trusted on the bench. He's always LA
BILE to give decision against the clev-
crest lawyer in the case, just to show
his smartness. A bad lawyer on the
bench doesn't take law so much as JUS
tice into consideration, and no defend
ant or plaintiff ever yet was injured by
common-sense decision. 1t is fall
lacy of our great republican form of
government that the voice of the peo-
pie spoken through the ballot box
purities the men elected and that the
election of lawyer to the bench de-
stroys all the weakness of human ma
ture that he may have had before. In
the divine government publication pre-
cedes election. In the human govern
ment election precedes publication. l
don't believe lawyers any more hon
est when they make him Judge than
he was before. They call him lawyer
until he becomes a Judge, then he is
spoken of as a distinguished jurist. -
