No bad man is ever brought to re-
pentance by angry words or bitter
scornful reproaches. He fortifies
himself against reproof, and hurls
back terrible charges in the face of his
accuser. Yet, guilty and hardened
as he seems, he has heart in his
bosom and may he melted into tears
by n voice. Whose, therefore, can
restrain his disposition to blame and
find fault, and can bring himself
down to II fallen brother, will soon
find way to better feelings within.
Pity and patience are the two keys
which unlock the human heart.
KISSES. A prominent physician
calls the kiss IAN elegant dissemina-
tor OF disease" He says, fever is
spread by it, so are lung disease. "
He maintains that if the kissing Gus
tom were driven out of the land ''it
would save one-tenth of one per cent.
OF human lives" which are now sac
rificed. Out upon the gnarled and
saples vagabond Evidently kisses
are not for such as he and the old
fox says, the grapes are sour. Let
him devote himself to making our
women healty and blooming that
kisses may be kisses. This can sure

On last Saturday two of our crack
marksmen drove out into the coun-
try in spring wagon to hunt gray
squirrals. AT the edge of the goods
i they lett the wagon stand and betook
themselves to the thickets to go after
their game. In the meantime some
tricky fellow got at and exchanged
the wheels of the wagon, putting the
hind wheels in front and the front
wheel on the hind axles. After a
while the hunters returned, loaded
down with game, mounted the wagon
without suspecting anything and
started for home They had made
some of the distance when it occur
red to them that something was
wrong about their wagon, though
they knew not what. Both got of
to examine the vehicle, but failed 10
see anything extraordinary. They
are evidently short sighted and had
forgotten their spectacles, They
again took their seats and continued
their homeward journey, all the
time feeling that not all was right.
They finally reached home, when
some of our townsmen called their
attention to the queer construction
of their rolling stock. The bystan-
ders called it good Joke and we
think they We're about right.-XiH-
