A Weak Bell.

The following anecdote of DR.. Ly-
man Beecher was told by former stu
dent of Lane seminary, present at the
time. Even now he cannot refer to ii
without laughter.
There had been an unusual number
of cases of hardness in chapel attend
ance, and the blame was laid upon the
chapel bell. DR.. Beecher waxed sarcas-
tic over the frequent recurrence of this
excuse. until one morning the students,
assembled as usual, found the services
unaccountably delayed. At last DR..
Beecher, In dressing gown and slippers,
with hair like the quilts upon the fret
full porcupine, came jerkily down the
aisle, mounted the platform and deliv-
cred himself of the following explana-
ton:
Didn't hear the old bell. Makes no
more noise than lambs tail rung in

A Little Learning.

We have been often told that "a little
learning is a dangerous thing" and we
may be just as we'll assured that little
bread is not the safest of all things. 1t
would be far better to have plenty of
both, but the sophism of those who use
this argument is that they represent the
choice between little and much, whereas
our election must be made between little
and none at all. II the choice is to be
made between small portion Of infor-
nation or of food and absolute igno-
rance or starvation, common sense gives
its decision in the homely proverb, Half
loaf is better than no bread. New

A SURE CURE.

Would you know cure for "the blues"
dear friend7
Just list to my rhyme minute.
Then copy with care the recipe penned,
And in study or chamber pin 1t.
Look UP somebody whose daily life
Is sore fraught with want or sadness.
Bethink how with blessings your lot is rife,
What reasons you have for gladness.
'Tis wonderful, friend, how many we'll find
Worse off than ourselves around us,
Whose greater griefs once brought to the
mind,
With shame at our plants confound us.
But stay not yet, scarce half is done
To work the cure intended.
Strive to tighten the load of some burdened
one,
See one heart at least befriended.
All, here lies the secret of sure delight.
When We seek the sorrows to Danish
OF a suffering brother, In sudden flight,
Behold, all our own do vanish.

The prisons of Morocco are the worst

They are left dependent on their friends

the government provides only bit of

keep them alive.

than it does in this locality this sea-

Grass cutting is over. and the hum

Mr.. +. II. Cureton is teaching the
Burgundy school; has turned out one
graduate in six days. Is that good ?
That beats Rev. George Buford; it took
him thirty days to send out two. But
Mr.. Cureton is an expert, and has no
foolishness in his business; consequent
ly they come through sooner.
H. r. Henderson's spring was brok-
en- into recently and several crooks
taken out that contained twelve or fif-

Several Queries.

Editor Register-Would it be vic
lation of the law for citizen to Shoot
some of these night providers, who are
continually disgracing our town by
their lewd conduct on the streets? AND
if violation of law, do you think the
officials who so persistently refuse te
discharge their duty in other respects
would be equally derelict in this par.
ticular instance? If chance shot al
a crowd of these vile creatures should
take effect in the person of one of the
city officials, do you think the remain
ing authorities would prosecute the
perpetrator any more vigorously than
they have done other offenders of law
and decency in the past?
