Rules for Life.

Make few promises. Always
speak the truth. Never speak evil
of any one. Keep good company
or none. Live up to your engage
ments. Be just before you are gen.
erous. Never play any game OF
chance. Drink no kind of intoxi-
eating liquors. Good character is
above all things else. Keep your
own secrets if you have any
Never borrow if you can possibly
help it. Keep yourself innocent if
you would be happy. Make no
haste to be rich if you would pros
per. When you speak to a person
look him square in the face. Do
not marry until you can support a
wife. Ever live misfortune ex-
cepted) within your income. Save
when you are young to spend when
you are old. Avoid temptation
though fear you may not Withstand
it. Never run into debt unless you
see your way out again. Small and
steady gains bring competency with
a tranquil mind. Good company
and good conversation are the sim
ews of virtue. Your character can
not be essentially injured except by
your own acts. If any one speaks
evil of you let your life be SO that
none will believe him. When you
retire to bed think over what you
have been doing during the day.
Never be idle; if your hands can't
be employed usefully attend to the
cultivation of your mind.

Man and a Lamp.

A story is going the rounds to
the effect that a married lady in the
county, had a birthday anniversary
a short time ago, upon which her
husband presented her with a
pretty piano lamp. He was much
fattered when she told him she in
tended to give it his name, until hc
asked her reasons for SO peculiar a
proceeding. "Well" said she ayou
know dear, it has a good deal of
brass about it, it is handsome to
look at, requires a great deal of at
tention, is not remarkably brilliant,
is sometimes unsteady on its legs,
liable to explode when half full,
flares up occasionally, is always
out at bedtime and is bound to
smoke.-Seaford Ne,cS.

A boy in the Wichita schools
has been suspended for reading the
following essay on pants:
"Pants are made for men, and
not men for pants. Pants are like
molasses; they are thinner in hot
weather and thicker in cold. The
man in the moon changes his pants
during the eclipse. Don't you go
to the pantry for pants-you might
be mistaken. Men are often mis-
taken in pants. Such mistakes
make breeches of promise. There
has been much discussion as to
whether pants is singular or plural.
Seems to us when men wear pants
they are plural, and when they
don't it is singular. Men go on a
tear in pants, and its all right; but
when the pants go on tear its all
wrong"

flowers were in profusion about the
room. About nine o'clock the
grand march began, after which
quadrilles and waltz occupied the
time of the guests until an early
hour in the morning.
Delicious ices, salads, dainty
sandwiches, cake, coffee, etc., were
served in room near the ball room.
A notable feature was the serving
of punch from cake of ice, formed
to represent punch bowl. In fact
every thing that was possible to be
done to create enjoyment for their
guests was done by the bachelors.
and it is very seldom that social
party is given that confers as much
pleasure and enjoyment as did the
bachelors ball.
The dresses of the ladies were
elegant and many of the fair sex
wore diamonds.

Basket Ball.

The liveliest scene we have viewed
at the rink was the game of basket
ball, given by % members Of the
Y. NJ. G. A., last Friday evening.
1t was extremely entertaining to
the many persons present, who were
amused greatly from the beginning
to the end.
At each end of the rink was sus-
pended a basket, and the object of
each team was to get the ball in the
basket. One team consisted Of A.
B. Potter, captain, and A. B. Crow,
John Beekman. Edward Desjardins,
Robert Tough, Harry Kellogg,
Clarence Jones, Charles Mclean,
Pole Lalonde, Morris Alpern and
Thos. Shell. The other team con-
sisted of Will Prince, captain, and
Frank Rudd, Will Comstock, Frank
Crippen, George Windross, George
Widner, William Mcdonald. Err
nest Dyer, George Masters, George
Nicholson and Roy McKim.
The contest commenced with a
rush and continued through the
entire game, each member doing his
best to have his team win, and it
was common sight to see several
of the players laid out on the floor
as the result of collision. At times
"a pyramid of from six to ten players
would be piled IN heap, and all
struggling to get possession of the
ball. 1t was a scene Of activity
and suppleness, deeply interesting
to the observer, but proved a very
painful one to many Of the players,
as those hard contacts with the floor
left numerous sore places about the
legs and bodies. The desperate
struggle was all over the rink floor
now at one end, then in the middle,
then at the side, while the young
athletes moved so rapidly from
one place to another in pursuit of
the ball, that their mum Der seemed
many times. The con-

Last Saturday some men who
were getting ice on the river near
the Huron Lumber Co. mill, had
loaded sleigh with the ice blocks.
Little Arthur Golling and the two
little Pepper lads got on the loaded
sleigh, but the teamster made them
get off. The three lads were on the
ice behind the sleigh when the
sleigh broke through the ice. All
three of the boys fell into the river,
which is about twelve feet deep.
The ice men sprang to the rescue.
Arthur Golling was soon got out,
but before the other lads were res
cued they came near drowning,
having got under the ice. One
sank twice before he was landed
safe.
