FACTS.

The man who spends upon his friends
The stamps be needs for living
Will beg some day from them and they
Will not cent be giving.
The man who shows how little he knows
BY talking on all matters
Will at his death wish for the breath
He wasted on his chatters.
The chap who winks wheneer he drinks
And smacks his lips with gusto
Will have the shakes and see big snakes
And find the CUTTERS dust, o.
The man who'll use tobacco chewS
BY begging them from others Sc.
Will grow so mean he will be cen
Discarded by his brothers.
The man who waits before he mates
Until he's old and cranky
Will surely miss life Of bliss
And die unloved and lanly.
The man who beats his way and cheats
And doesn't call 1t stealing
Will find he's lost ten times the cost
OF plain and honest dealing.
Who doth regard his lot so hard
II he will look at others
He'll shout with glee because he'll see
He's blest beyond his brothers.
The man who hears with eager ears
A scandal you may mention,
To others will of you speak i'll
And make for you dissension.

HARD ON FOREIGNERS.
The Different Names We Give to Groups
of Beasts and Birds.


1t is a very curious fact that tn En-
glish language has separate word to
designate nearly every kind of beast or
birds in groups. To be sure, some of
these distinctive terms are used by few
except sportsmen or naturalists, but the
miliar in common speech, especially
where groups of the different animals
are found. We suppose that the use of
each one of these different words was
originally founded on some reason, ety.
biological, geological or ornithologicai,
but it would take much research to as
certain these reasons, and this we have
not time to give due subject. But We
offer table which shows in brief space,
the most of the different terms given to
various classes of animals; perhaps
some of our readers can add to it,
A covey of cartridges,
hide of pheasahts,
A wisp Of snipe,
A bevy of quail,
A fight of doves or swallows,
muster Of peacocks,
A siege Of herons,
A building OF rocks,
A brood of grouse,
A plump Of wild fowl,
A stand of plovers,
A watch Of nightingales,
A Gathering OF choughs,
A flock of geese,
A cast of hawks,
A trip of dottrell,
A swarm of bees,
A school Of whales,
A shoal of behring's,
A herd of swine.
A skulk of foxes.
A pack Of wolves.
A drove of oxen.
A sounder Of hogs.
A troop Of monkeys.
A pride Of lions.
A sleuth of bears.
Also, at the risk of repeating some
of the above oddities of language, we
quote the following newspaper para
graph, which further illustrates the
subject: "A number of sheep together
is called flock. But flock of pretty
girls is called bevy, and a bevy of
wolves is a pack, pack OF thieves a
gang. a gang of angels host, host OF

which cannot will away from her. she

more lately in the presence of a witness
that she would be delighted to leave me

Broadway, New York city, are made the
executors. With the will is filed petit
ton of Bishop Brewer that w R. futile

Whether any effort will be made to over
turn it on the ground of Crosby's insani-
ty Is not known. His wife and family al
legged insanity as the cause Of his suicide,
though the jury which investigated the
case did not return such a verdict.
