Those who talk yolubly upon theil
joys and their griefs are not generally
those who are capable of the profound.
est happiness or the most intense suf
fering. Those who can put into ready
words the sanctities of love, and fluent
ly express all its hopes and fears, hav,
seldom penetrated to its depths. Thos,
who utter glibly and unrestrainedly
all their upward str1vings, their senti
ments of contrition, their feelings O
reverence, their desire for worship
are not usually the most truly relig
.ious or devout. For all that is highest
deepest, and most profound in human
nature silence is a better exponent
than speech. Not only is language IN
adequate to convey the truth of suc1
things, but they are themselves draw
down from their high estate by being
made subjects of ordinary converse
ton. Reticence on such matters is bou
salutary and becoming.

A sick soldier who was ordered to
a sanitarium on a mountain summit
found on arriving there that but one
room in the house was unoccupied, and
that so shut in that no one would take
1t. A young school mistress had the
best room in the house, having en-
gagged 1t long before because Of the
grand view from the windows. When
she heard Of the poor fellow lying in
bed all day with only a dense wood
for prospect, she had the clerk ex-
change the occupants of the two rooms,
bargaining that her little plan be kept
a secret.
If your walls are so narrow
You cannot see far,
Knock hole in the ceiling

The little schoolmistress did better
She knocked the hole in a brother

The Kentucky Court of Appeals held,
in the recent case of Knauer VS.. The
City of Louisville, that a city cannot
pass an ordinance which fixes the fees
to be paid public contractor for the
removal of the carcass of an animal
out of the city at such sum as that
the owner of the carcass could not
pay them and realize anything out of
the body, as dead animals are not per
Sc nuisances, and that an ordinance
which thus confscates the property of
the owner and gives it to the public
contractor would deprive the owner of
property rights in the animal which do
