How the Devil Lost.

We clip It from an exchange paper, and
respectfully call the attention to itof GER
tain persons who feel disposed TO spread
in the newspaper line:
4 Young man VINO actually desired

soul for eternity If he could be supplied

He became a fillibaster, and fitted out
ships and armies, but bis banker honor

Candor and Courtesy.

Hawthorne used to say, "God may for
give sins, but awkwardness has no for
giveness in heaven or in earth" If for
awkwardness wesubstitute undue candor,
we might still be speaking temperately.
You do not invite to the christening the
caller who looked kindly but firmly at
your pretty baby, and said she thought
this child would be rather goodlooking,
as he resembled his fathers family. 1t
may be safely said that the person who
assures us that We have fallen Off five
years in one viii never be dear in men,
ory. She has spoken the truth, but from
henceforth We shun her as ifshe were
modern Slpphira. II we feel self-elated
to tell our friends the unpleasant things
which have been said, no matter how
tlulhfully, about themselves or those
dear 10 them, We must expect to share
in the cdium OF the message delivered
By the laws Of some Occult science not
yet formulated we become in a measure
what we are told we are. To the woman
who mas said we look dead and faded
every tinge Of yellow in our skin responds.
and we believe that much time passed
in her society woald convert us into
mummy. When with those in whose
love and appreciation we have confidence,
we bring forth the answering fruits Of
worth and loYeliness, while tine con-
sciOusness that our associates consider US
stupid and unamiable has a tendency TO
paralyze every brilliant attribute and
unselfish action. Kindness, kindly ex-
pressed" ike the witch-hezel wand,
makes the desert blossom ike a rose,
while the follower Of undue candor loses
half the sweetness and fruitage Of life.
Are we to infer, then, that candor aud
courtesy are antagonistic? BynO means
but We believe that yeracity should be
governed by the rules Of the old nursery
game of How, when, and where" TAe
manner Of speaking the truth divinely
taught held this injunction, "in love-
The eandor that publicly criticises or
that points out defects at the time and
place where these defects cannot be
remedied is objectionable. The SUN Of
the whole matter is this; while the love
oftruth should be the cardinal point Of

enough TO embraced ethe gracious precedent
Of the heroine Of wisdom in whose lips

\ curiously addressed letter la.ely
passed through the post office at Madrid,
which was deciphered and correctly
deliyed, notwithstanding all difficulties.
The address was perfect rebus- At
the left-hand side was the figure Of a
lady il was ciea-, therefore, to which
sex the recipient should belong. over
the lady's head the sun was rising, hence
her name was inferred to be Aurora
For her surname stood hill with a
castle at lis foot, which gives Us "Mon-
testy Castillo"
Next comes the town, for which the
plan of a city was drawn, on which the
AlhambIa was leeible. This indicated
Granads, but in order 10 leave no doubt
possible, a pomegranate was drawn beside
the plan. To complete the address a
number was indicated in one Of the
streets Of the city plan.
The postal authorities took three days
to study this curiosity, and then triumph
antly delivered the letter to @Ssn0rita

Printer.

May he be shod with lightning and
compelled to wander over gunpowder.
May he haYe sore eyes and a chestnut
burr for an eye stone
May he never be permitted to kiss a

May CAS- Nightmares trot races over his

May his boots leak, bis gun hang FIRE,

May his coffee be sweetened with flies,
and his sauce seasoned with spiders
May he never strike oil, and be con-
tinually blest with nothing.
May his friend run off with his wife,
and his children take the whooping-
cough.
May his cattle die of murrAin, and his
hogs destroy his garden.
May the famine stricken ghost Of an

May his daughter marry one eyed

Various Kinds of Newspape r
Patrons.

The newspaper man has some friends
that the world knows not Of or if it
does it finds them out accidentally.
There is the old subscriber who reads
the paper religioasly, lives by it, swcars
By it and viii die its frieni and sup
porter. His children read to each other
from its columns they read the 'ads'
and all. When that paper says a thing
he is firmly convinced Of its truth. He
knows it is just 50, and you had as well
undertake to Pot the rock Of Gibraltar
on wheelbarrow and cart it across the
Atlantic 10 the Worlds Fair as TO move
him from his opinion. If his paper
stated that when the food subsided the
ark rested on the top Of a sassafras stump,
he would not rest until he had harmoniz-
ed the statement with the facts as set
forth in his family bible.
And then there is the fellow who asks
10 have his paper stopped because he
takes more papers than he can read.
Very often the fsctis ne can't read much.
More often he thinks it would be less
expensive to borrow It OF his neighbor
than get it direct from the Office. We
always feel sorry for his neighbors when
man stops hispaper.
Another friend whom the editor sets
a high estimate on, is the farmer who
always comes up to pay his subscription
every year when he pays his taxes.
That's business.
Another occasional character is the
man who doesn't subscribe, but comes in
every week and buys a copy Of the paper.
That's extravaganza.
Sometimes d fellow stops his paper be
cause the editor said something that
didn't exactly coincide With his precoa-
ceived notions. That's foolishness.
Usually on his list are a few persons
who tell him what they think Of the
paper. fit hes said somsthing good
they pu. their hand in that Of the editor
and say so. That's right.
Sometimes an uusanctifed soul will
take the paper for three years and then
order it stopped without paying for It.
That's call and cussedness combined.

save the fatal ive in the condemned cells.
We had seen the workshops, the dining
room, the tiny sleeping apartments, the
chapel painted by a c)nyicts pencil with
scenes from the Prodigal son" As We
turned to 90 away the attendant called
10 me
Look yonder.'
There was a little girl, the daughter Of
an official of the prison, surrounded BY
three men in stripes. How they kissed
her innocent flce and almost wOrshiped
her as she stood among them with the
sunlight playing aronnd her slender
form

prisoners car see them, they viii watch
them by tie hour and spend days in

thing alive, they will catch, tame and
