Common fame is very unreliab lie

madame's gossip than there are iii the
religion of Christ. The mereSt intima-
ton of scandal against a man or a
woman are to many people the most
undeDiabe truths. The more un-
reasonable and extravagant story, the
greater the common confidence in its
truth. Mankind seems to glory in every
rumor of evil, when they are SO exceed
ingly slow to believe anything good.
They are always ready to give full cred
ence to any reports of rascality or error
among their neighbors, but are as ready
to doubt every good act or motive.

Good Advice.

The following from the Kansas City
Journal, gives little side view on the
matter brought before the religious peo-
pie who offered up prayers for Robert
Ingersoll. While the squib is launched
in tone of levity, yet there is consider
able truth in the assertions set forth:
The best way to pray for Colonel Bob
Ingersoll is to do SO in the secrecy of
the closet, then when the petitions are
not answered the public's faith in the
efficacy of prayer will not be shaken,
and Colonel Bob will not be given the
benefit of free advertisement.

so much money that he hired d little store and

vacant. He had wagon with his name on 1t to
carry his supply, and would hire newsboy to
work for him in the morning for cakes and coffee
But prosperity brought competition. Another
man went into the business opposite his store. The
newcomer Mr. Kornfed. has about fifty chairs
