MANI AND THE DEVIL.

THE devil will be satisfied if the rule
of your life is to please yourself.
THE devil never says good-by to a
man as long as he can keep him con-
ceited.
THE devil is never entirely sure of a
man as long as there is somebody living
who loves him.
THE devil always agrees with the man
who says he can't see any sense in try
ing to be religious.
THE devil cheats us out of a good
many blessings by teaching us to be
close with our money.
The devil don't care how much any
man attends church, if he only leave
his heart at home when he goes.
As LONG as the devil can make an out
slider believe he is as good as a church
member, he has a sure hold on him

lowing: Whereas, several idle, gossip
ing women make it their business to go
from house to house, about the island,
inventing and spreading false and
scandalous reports of the good people
thereof, and thereby sow discord and de-
bate among neighbors and between
men and their wives to the great grief
and trouble of all good and quiet peo-
pie, and to the utter extinguishing of all
friendship, amity and good neighbor-
hood-for the punishment and suppress
sion thereof, to the intent that all strife
may be ended, charity revived and
friendship continued, we do order that
if any women, from henceforth, shall
be convicted of tale-telling, mischief
making, scolding, or any other notori-
Gus vice. they shall he punished by
ducking or whipping. or such other pun
ishment as their crimes o. transgres-
