A great many people despise n
dude, and indeed he is not the best
looking animal that runs at large, but
in order to be dude one must have
money, and to he a dude lie must
spend it freely, and of course he is
not supposed to work, which gives
business for the tailor, the optician,
the shoemaker, the laundryman, the
barber, the bootblack, and, in fact,

It ought to be mutually agreed

over the preachers will want to begin

She has been an active christian,

ministeriug to their needs, warning
sinner and exorting him to repentance
She seemed to ne perfectly resigned
and calm through her spell of sick
ness that took her away. In spite of
the best physical skill and marked at
tention as well as gifts of affection she
continued to get worse, and Saturday
evening the last battle was fought.
In spite of all that was done to STAY

cold skeleton hand upon her heart, 50
warm and soft to her, it ceased to
beat and she fell asleep in the Saviours
arms as calm and peaceful as the
babe in its mothers arms. Blessed
are the dead which die in the Lord.

If two men start to travel together
in the same direction at a moderately
slow gait, and one Of them should DC.
casionally stop to talk, and the other
move right on, the one making the
stops would be terribly surprised at
night to see how far his companion is
ahead of him. The same argument
holds good in reference to work. a
man pretending to work will not get
much done if he stops to converse
with every man passing by him.
Standing and talking is said to be as
tircsome as working. We have no.
ticed a great deal Of this kind of
working ON public roads, which large
~ accounts for the depleted condi.
ton o: the treasury and the unfnish-
ed condition Of the roads.
