THE MEANEsT SORT OF LIAR.

Scandal Mungers" was the subject of Rev. W.
J. Young's sermon in Calvery M. Z. Church
South, Baltimore, on Sunday night last. He Sc
lectei for his text the proverb "Whoso keepeth
his mouth and tongue keepeth his soul from trou-
ble." No member of the body, said the speaker,
is more unruly than the tongue, and none causes
more trouble One of the first uses it is put to is
to the SANDER of neighbor. There is no crime
more common, and it is as bad as many crimes
that are held to be worse. There is not one per-
son in hundred, said he, who does not SANDER
his neighbor. The listener is as bad as the scan
dal monger, and often worse, for he encourages
his neghbor. Such people only see the wrong
side of mans character. They never notice his
good qualities. No man is without better side.
There e. hundreds Of men who are going to ruin
because no one will say kind word to them and
appeal to their better nature. Why is it that the
criminal when he comes out of Jail becomes worse
than he was before? Because society refuses to
recognize him, and he sinks deeper, seeking that
friendship in the lower strata which he cannot
obtain elsewhere. The speaker then spoke pity
ingly of those people who find fault with every
man they meet As rule, such a person is apt
to possess the very faults he complains of in
others. If a man studies himself fully, he will
find he has as much as he can do looking after
his own soul. scandal monger is apt to
things with a distorted vision. If he told the
truth you might endure him, but he does not. He
lies in every case, disappearing and classifying
the facts. A slanderer is the meanest kind of a
liar. He stabs in the back. Give every man
chance for his life. Meet him face to face, and
strike him fairly. Do not lie in wait for him and
hit him when he is not looking, and has no OPP
portunity to defend himself. 1t is strange thing
how the world likes to see man down. The
newspapers daily have columns about man who,
through one mistake of his life, was ruined, and
the people eagerly read such information. Many
who condemn him have never faced the tempta-
lions that man has encountered. Again and
again he has overcome them, yet all this is for
gotten when once he makes one wrong move;
and all combine to crush him. 1t is sad that
they should be misunderstood and not apprecia-
ted. All the good man has done is forgotten
by the world if he once goes wrong. In conclu-
sion, the speaker advised his hearers if they could
mot speak kind words of their neighbors, not to
use slanderous remarks. Like seeds scattered
along roadway, once spread among the people,
they can never be recalled. An injury of this
kind cannot be made good.

STORIES OF THE WAR ILLUSTRATED IN
EVERY ISSUE.
APAPER FOR THE HOMES OF THE LAND
SPARKLING AND ORIGINAL IN EVERY
FEATURE.

On the first of January next, new departure
in every feature of the Weekly TIMES will be
made. Every number will be literally illustrated
in its War contributions, which have so long
been specially in its columns, and in its Stories,
which will be greatly enlarged from the pens of
the best writers, and in current History, Bio
graphy, Politics, Art, Science and the leading
events of the day.
The time has passed for the weekly journal of
the city to fill the place of newspaper. The
daily newspaper from the great centres of news
now reaches into every section OF the land.
Every inland city and every town of Importance
have their daily newspapers, and the local week
ly, with the wonderful progress in provincial
journalism, meets every want that the daily news
paper fails to supply. The metropolitan weekly
of to-day must be much more than newspaper;
it must be q magazine of family reading; it must
lead the magazine in popular literature; it must
lead in popular illustration, and it must meet
every requirement of the intelligent reader OF
every class.
STORIES OF THE WAR will be published in
each number from the ablest writers who partici-
pated in the bloody drama of civil strife, and
each will be profusey illustrated The most en-
tertaining and instructive STORIES from the
best writers of fiction will appear in each issue,
with illustrations.

Earth in the Stable,
Scientific american.

Nothing will purify and keep stable so free
from odors as the free of dry earth, and every
one keeping horses or cattle will find 1t pays to
keep a heap of it at hand, to be used daily. A
few shovelfuls of earth scattered over the floor
after cleaning will render the air of the apart
ments pure and wholesome. The value of the
seasons manure pile may be largely increased by
the free use of such absorbents. The strength of
the gases and liquids absorbed is retained, and is
the very essence of good manure. ~

What the compositor asks (but at present can
not obtain is, not that the and u be made alike
but that each have its distinctive shape; not that
the be made similar to |, but that it be crossed
or else formed after the fashion much in vogue
namely, a stroke more or less sloping, with loop
in the center on the side farthest from the letter
following it; and lastly, that the 4 be dotted, an
omission which seems to meet with great favor
among authors, though it is very tantalizing to
the compositor, since in bad manuscript the un-
dotted may be taken to represent either C, e, or
r, or even be supposed to form part of what in
reality is the letter But if the is were dotted
and the is crossed, few complaints would emanate
from printing offices, or, indeed, ever be heard,
SO great an aid is the due placing of these letter
belongings in the task of deciphering.

A Sample of Fire and Birthstone.


A West Scotland clergyman was
going to the Highlands for his holidays
and being very fond of the "Nabob
Pickles he took a bottle with him.
The "Nabob Pickles" are extremely
hot and should be sparingly used.
Arrived at the hotel he placed the
bottle on the table and took out one or
two of them. A Yankee was sitting
opposite and got his eyes on the pickles.
stranger, pass the pickles, please"
The clergyman said: "These are
private property, but you are welcome
to them" lie passed the bottle across
the table. The Yankee emptied half
the bottle into his plate and stirred
them we'll up with his spoon. He took
a big spoonful but they were not long
down when he drew long breath and
said: ooh, dodgast it! Look here,
stranger, 1 guess you are q parson ?"
"Well, I am clergyman and preach
the Gospel" "Look you here" said
the Yankee, I have heard them preach
about fire and birthstone, but you are
the first one ever knew who carried a
sample bottle"

Some One Must Have Put Them There.
Here's story of how stumping for
Congress was conducted years back.
Blackburn and Marshall were running
for Congress, and as usual each said
hard things about the other AT last
the personalities became so bitter that
twas feared an encounter would ensue.
Finally, to smooth matters, the friends
of both parties made them promise to
go unarmed. AS was customary in
those days the contestants journeyed
together, and it so happened one night
that both had to sleep in one bed.
When the hour for retiring came both
appeared reluctant to diSrobe. Looking
at each other in silence for minute or
two Blackburn spoke up and accused
Marshall of being armed. This was
Indignantly denied, bat in removing his
clothes Blackburn caught sight of the
butt end of pistol, and calling Mar
shalls attention to it said "Now, Mar
shall, you see I'm unarmed." Then, as
Blackburn pulled off his coat two pis-
tolls and knife dropped to the floor
Joe gave them sad look and said: 81
wonder who put them in my pocket"
Both men then shook hands and agreed
that honorS were even and the best feel
ing existed throughout the rest of the
campaign.
