There is good deal of preaching
IN a smile.
The best way to kill falsehood is
to let it lie.
The parson at the wedding is the
I right man in the rite place.
1t is now in order for our merchants
to sell twine by the cord.
Life is quarry, out of which we are
to mould and chisel and complete a
character.
If the earth was covered with flowers
all the year round the bees would get
| lazy.
Very often a soldier, while ha wing
the highest motives, will leave the
army furlough purposes.
The well-mace girl is not generally
the old made. On the contrary, she
is frequently very fresh.
Comparison is everything. A very
ordinary looking girl, in railroad Car
filled with men, looks lovely.
Do not lie, adversely discourage
You. Were it not for the kicks which
1t receives the football would never
get up in the world.
The country churches, nowadays,
are thrown in much disorder, by the
country folks all staring at the hat OF
the summer boarder.

Don't Start KumOrS.

Damaging truths are bad enough.
Damaging untruths-or truths per-
nlciously exaggerated or purposely col
ored-arc worse still. In these times,
when business confidence is none too
firmly established. it i'll becomes any
man to endanger by word Or insinua-
ton the confidence that may exist be-
tween creditor and debtor. Many a
bank has gone down in consequence of
a run excited by false alarm; and the
shores of commercial history are strewn
with wrecks Of countless firms whose
downfall was brought about by the
sudden commercial demands of suspi-
cious creditors.
Business is built on credit.
Credit is built on confidence.
There is no surer way of undermine
ing mans business than by giving
credence to and circulating rumors
about him. The man who stealthily
applies the torch to a building is no
more despcable than he who applies
the firebrands of distrust to the repu-
tation of a business establishment. II
is with this thought that we say that
those men who indiscriminately dissem-
mate incorroborated rumors are guilty
of an act for which there should be a
| fitting punishment t.-Durham Sun.

result of the game was a score of II to 0
