Every word of God is pure; he is
a shield unto them that put their
trust in him.
Whose loveth instruction loveth
knowledge; but he that hateth re-
proof is british.
Boast not thyself of tomorrow;
for thou knOwest not what a day
may bring forth.
He that hath bountiful eye shall
be blessed; for be giveth of his
bread to the poor.
Be not thou one of them that
strike Hands, or of them that are
sureties for debts.
A wholesome tongue is a tree of
life; but perverseness therein is a
breach in the spirit.
Even child is known by it's do
ings, whether his work be pure, and
whether it be right.
There is gold, and a multitude of
rubies; but the lips Of knowledge
are precious jewel.
A lying tongue hateth those that
are afflicted by it; and a flattering
mouth worketh ruin.
Wine is mocker, strong drink is
raging; and whosoever is deceived
thereby is not wise.
The lips of the wise disperse
knowledge; but the heart of the
foolish doeth not so.
By mercy and truth iniquity is
purged; and by the fear of the Lord
men depart from evil.
He that is greedy of gain trou-
bleth bis own house; but he that
hateth gifts shall live.
1t is naught, it is nanght, sayeth
the buyer; but when he is gone his
way, then be boasteth.
A stone is heavy, and the sand
is weighty; but fools wrath is
heavier than them both.
Where no wood is, there the fire
goeth out; so where there is ne tale
bearer, the strife ceaseth. .
Better it is to be of an humble
spirit with the lowly, than to divide
the spoil with the proud.
Counsel in the heart of man is like
deep water; but a man of under.
standing will draw it out.
Death and life are in the power
of the tongue, and they that love it
shall eat the fruit thereof.
A man of great wrath shall suffer
punishment; for if thou deliver him,
yet thou must do it again.
Folly is 10Y to him that is desti-
tute of wisdom; but man OF under
standing walketh uprightly.

There have been hundreds upon
hundreds of editorials lately on the
subject of better country roads, but
it falls on the Bolivar County Review,
published at Rosedale, Miss, to
make the champion argument for the
cause. Here it is:
SERMON.
l. Bad roads lead to profanity;
they make men swear.
2. Bad roads lead to intemper-
ance; men think it necessary to forti-
fy the inner man with few drinks to
enable them to stand the long journey
through the mud.
3. Bad roads lead to cruelty; even
the kindest hearted driver often has
to stimulate a willing team with the
lash.
4. Bad roads lead to poverty; the
wear and tear On wagons, harness
and animals knocks off large per
cent. of profit.
CONCLUSION.
If bad roads lead to profanity, in
temperance, cruelty, poverty, they
lead to the devil.

AN OLD oucLlNa PISTOL.

It Has Seen Forr Centuries OF Service
and Is stili In Good Condition.
Maj. Moore has among his collection
OF curio5 o ducling pistol which was
brought to this country from England
by one Of the earliest scttlcra of Vir-
ginia, says the New York Journal. The
weapon, which is 1int-locls, is fully
four hundred years old and is still in
good condition and if capped with
bit of flint and loaded could be fired.
Tho pistol has Q brass barrel, which
uIscrcws about an inch from the flash
pan. To load it the barrel is I'M
screwed, tho powder poured in and
raancd down. Tho barrel is then re-
placed and the bullet, about three
times as large IS q buckshot, is dropped
in. The sight is on tho side of the
barrel, about midway between the trig-
ger and the nUzzlc. Instead of sight
ing over point Oh the c::trcrnc top of
the barrel, G3 one docs when handling .
modern revolver, the old pistol was
held SO that the sight was taken over
the llnuclzlcS Of the person using it.
The pistol vas manufactured in Lon
don and was brought to this country By
q man named Mason, who was related
to Lord Fairfa-. It remained in tho
Mason family until 1879, when it was
given to al old f5llcr:nan by Mics
Mason, 4 granddaughter OF the man
who brought it over from old England.
The old fisherman save it away AID it
