"Plain-Spoken" Persons.

There is class of people who pride
themselves on their honesty and frank
ness because. as they tell us, they SAY
just what they think throwing out
their opinions right and left, just
as they happen to feel, no matter
where they may strike or whom they
may wound. This bOasted frankness,
however, is not honesty, but is rather
miserable impertinence and reckless
cruelty. We have no right to say what
we think unless we think kindly and
lovingly, no right to unload our jealous
les. envies, bad humOrs, and miserable
spites upon the hearts of our neighbors.
If we must be bad tempered we should
at least keep our ugliness locked up in
our own breasts, and not let it out to
wound the feelings and mar the happi-
ness of others. If we must speak out
our dislikes and prejudices and wretch
ed feelings, let us go into our own room
and lock the door and close the windows,
so that no ear but our own shall hear
the hateful words. If any man seemeth
to be religious, or even morally decent,
and bridleth not his tongue that mans
religion is vain and his character is un-
principled and base. Detroit Free Press.

Never laugh at mans misfortunes,

SMITH & MURRAY.

We cannot afford to enter 1893, un. til we've paid our respects and hearty {, thanks to good old 1892. The year that IS past brought us increased busi- ness beyond our plans and dreams. The year was filled with opportunities; and we'd have been blind not to have accepted them. The chances for liberal trading were grand. It has seldom been the privi- vilege of a business house te have the for tune to pass over to their patrons so many ex- ceptional values brought about by constant watch in all markets for break in prices, thereby securing for our trade the best possible values. 1 We'll begin '93 with a brighter future than any i preceding year.
 On Tuesday, Jan. Sd, we inaugu- rate Special Sale of Dry Goods that will command attention all over western New England. For several months past we have been searching for Dry Goods wherever an op- portunity presented itself in the way of break in prices. While we do not welcome such state Of affairs yet manufacturers will make too many goods; partners will disagree-some Of them die stocks have got to be sold cash got to be raised These and other circumstances give us the priv tlege to offer to an apprec1attve public the best values we've ever known of in Dry Goods.
 Also great January Sale of Ladies' Muslin Underwear. This branch of our business requires but little comment. Con- mencing last April we made contracts for this class of goods with prominent manufacturers on the most advantageous terms, the result being an aggregation of goods and low prices that will play an important part in this great sale. Noth- Ing unworthy is offered.
 In connection with this sale every department in the house will offer special values.
 The sale begins TUESDAY, JAN. Sd, at a. m. SMITH & MURRAY,

-Willimantic had one of it's (of late not infrequent) sensations last week in the raiding of a noted gambling place.
 Some of those found there when the raid was made, evidently in resentment of newspaper comment on the affair, after themselves answering to the charges of frequenting such a place, had Geo. E. Hinman, editor of the Willimantic Journ- al, arrested on the same charge, the ob- ject being not only to drag his name into the affair, but also those of large num- Der of others summoned as witnesses. MT. Hinman stood trial and was acquit- ted, no proof whatever being brought against him stronger than that Hinman is member of the Thread City 'cyclers, which organization had a room in block next to the poker rooms.
