Rams Horn Philosophy.
Tomorrow is the FOOLS seed time.
L Ii. !,

Tomorrow is the fools seed time.
A good opportunity is seldom met IN
q beaten track.
1t is hard to kill sin that appears
to pay well.
A doubter is always dodger and
hider from the truth.
More good advice would be taken il
it were given in good way.
Many very good-looking people are
deformed on the inside.
A bad day does not always begin
with dark morning.
A loafer in the church is as worthless
as he is anywhere else.
If some parents would laugh more
their children would weep less.
Many boy has been ruined by be-
inc patted on the head-at the wrong
time.
Whenever the devil sees real good
man he sets about making a dozen
hypocrites.
Two people praying the same prayer
from the heart always raises commo-
ton in heaven.
The devil knows that the only way
he can starve Christian is to first get
him to doubt God.
Going security for friend is one OF
the ways in which much learning can
generally be had quickly.
Let the preachers get the children
now. and in the next generation the
church will have the masses.
Every preachers ambition is to have
a big congregation, but God is more
concerned about having united hearts.
The less preacher knows the Lord
the more he depends upon his head in
the preparation of his sermons.
One trouble with the church is that
there are not enough people in it who
are being prosecuted for righteousness
sake.
Angels can tell about how much
religion you have by the amount OF
rain it takes to keep you at home from
prayer-meeting.

Fable of Laughter And Tears.

Laughter and Tears met one day in
a shady lane. The sunshine and shade
mingled pleasantly there and the
breath of the woods was strong in the
air, as was also the fragrance of the
clover field near by. But the lane was
all too narrow to allow both to pass,
Laughter was boisterons and romped
about so much that he took up a deal
of room, while Tears seemed to be
half blind and could scarcely see her
way.
She said, in voice like the song of a
night-bird:
""hy don't you let me pass? This is
my path"
Mo- replied Laughter, "tnis lane
is mine, and | am in hurry, so you'd
better climb the fence into the dark
woods and walk through the dead
leaves"
why don't you climb the other
fenceP' said Tears softly. "and run
along through the clover in the sun
shine? I'm sure you'd like it better"
Well rejoined Laughter, pleasant
ly, I'm sure | don't want to quarrel
with so gentle a maiden, and so, as
we don't seem able to agree about the
path, suppose turn about and 90 with
youP'
That would be very pleasant, in
deed, said Tears, for am lonely"
so they went on together, through
the twinkling shine and shadow, and
each felt better for the company of the
other
And that, says the Detroit Free Press,
Is why it is that when you meet

CUT RATE TICKETS.
A. b. Greenwald's Success a


A. b. Greenwald's Success as q
Broker.
Many people like to travel, but OBJ
ject to paying high rates for their tickets,
which has caused the institution of
ticket brokers' offices, where cut rate
tickets can be had at considerable
reduction from the charges made by the
railroad companies agents.
Possibly the best known and the most
popular one of these brokers in this
city is Mr.. A. B. Greenwald, who has
one of the handsomest and most COM
Portable offices to be found anywhere, at
the corner of First and Spring streets,
directly opposite the Nadeau hotel. Mr..
Greenwald has taken particular pains
to make his Office attractive. and he
understands perfectly the art of con-
ducting his business courteously and
satisfactorily.
Mr.. Greenwald is member of the
Guarantee Ticket Brokers' associa-
ton, which, besides his we1l-known
reputation as a reliable business man,
gives his customers absolute security in
their dealings with him. He not only
sells railroad and steamship tickets, but
buys and exchanges them, reserves
berths in sleeping cars, has baggage
checked, and in fact attends to all the
wants OF travellers. When it is con-
sidered that he can sell tickets at greatly
reduced rates over all routes desired,
about which the purchaser is absolutely
sure of having no trouble, the secret of
his great success here lie explained.
Travellers can find q branch of Mr..
Greenwald's business conducted at 1873
