SOUR WORDS.

1: They indicate o sour origin.
They show that the heart is in an
acid state. The hearer Of such word
can not but have his own, and not
very complimentary opinion Of the
speaker. q
2. They make .he speaker himself
more sour. Words reach upon
those who utter them. AS kind
words beget kindness, and increase
the power of it in the soul, SO. sour
words increase the bad temper
of them who uses them. They add
fuel to the FIRE and augment to the
heat.
8. Sour words dangerously tend
to make the hearer sour. They Gre
ate an atmosphere which he
breathes, and the virus is likely to
penetrate his soul and make him
sour, too. Vinegar gives its own
character to any thing it can reach.
So it is not the fault of the sour in
heart and speech that they do not
spoil all the sweetness that there
is about them.
4. Sour words are all but certain
to give sourness to the countenance.
The face is tell-tale of the heart,
and the hearts sourness, rising to
the lips in bitter words, has won
derful power over all the features.
Look on the countenance as the
owner is using sharp and bitter
words. Do you see smiling June,
or a scrowling November?
5. Sour words are not soon for
gotten. Sharp and piercing, they
enter, like iron, into the soul. AS
with hooks of steel, they hang on to
the memory. All that you can rec
ollect of some people is the sou.
words you have heard them use.
Now, my young friends, if sour
words indicate sour heart, and
make the speaker more sour, and
make hearers sour, and give sour
countenance, and make ones sour.
ness long and painfully remembered
there are FIVE reasons why these
words should never be found upor
your lips. Let the last ones you
have used be the last

TIE NEGRO NORTH And SOUTH.

"There is considerable trouble
EbetWsen the North and South rela.
tive 10 the treatment Ofthe aegroes
down in Dixie said ex-C Congress-
man Tom Ochiltree last night at the
Hoffman house, ''and that reminds
me .ef-one-ofeurT exasdarkies nam
ed Sam, whom / used to have in
my service. Sam could read, and
in the newspapers he had seen SO
much of the love the people OF the
North bear for the .colored man that
he concluded the North was the
place for him: So to Iowa he went,
where he was pretty we'll treated.
The people there called him Mr.
and shook hands with him, and
talked politics with him as if he
were an equal, but nobody seemed
anxious to have Sam work for him.
"After while his money was
gone, and he then concluded the
best thing for him to do was to go
back to Texas; SO he started on foot,
hoping to. pick up enough food on
the way to keep him. going. The
first place he reached was a farm
house, where man from New York
lived. The farmer was very polite,
but when food was mentioned, said
times were hard and he didn't be-
lieve he had any thing to spare. He
tried several other farmhouses, but
always with the same result-every-
body was polite, but nobody gave
him any food. For two or three
days be didn't have anything to eat,
until finally he came to a. place
where a man was out in the front
yard moving grass. To him he teld
the story ofleaving Texas,of his luck
in Iowa and of his desire to get back
to Galveston, and of his great hum
ger. Before he had concluded his
story, the farmer interrupted hima.
"You black idiot p he exclaimed,
why didn't you bave sense enough
to stay in Texas?' Sans face
frightened instantly, He almost
fell on his knees for joy, and he cried
out: Boss, you dunno how glad /
is to see you. When did you leave
de Souf yourself? Oh, boss, but /
is glad to git 'mong friends agin.'
Go in the house there, you black
fool, an git some chunk. Perhaps
you will know enough, another time
to stay where you belong"

WEALTH AND EDUCATION.

In an imminently commercial age
money is pre-eminently powerful,
but power is always dangerous when
it is not under the self imposed res
traint of mind. An uneducated
rich man can only go on making
more money. His house is filed
with pictures and statuary that he
cannot appreciate, his library is
stored with books which he never
reads and would not understand II
he did read them society fatigues
him, amusements bore him, and, Sc
he abandoned himself to the passion
OF accumulation. Culture would
have mode him happier as we'll as
a more useful man.

Extravaganza in matters of liquor
drinking is by no means confined to
those who can afford it. Most of
those who drink are guilty of an ex-
travagance which they can not at
ford. The consequence is that some
body else. must pay for their indul-
gence. And that somebody is
everybody;gfor the man who buys
liquor which he cannot afford allows
his family TO run short OF the neces-
saries of life or else fails to pay for
these things after having bought
them. In either case the trades
men suffer, and though them every
industry in the country suffer, and
everybody whose income is in any
way dependent upon the country's
prosperity must feel the loss though
he may not be able to trace it to itt
source.
