Quiet Hour Thoughts.
By Rev. j. w. Neymun.

BY Rev. j. w. Neymun.
To disregard or excuse your
small sins is to prepare for
greater sins.
Every sower has the priv
ledge of deciding what kind
or harvest he will have.
If you expect to get to heav.
en- when you die you must
travel that way while you live.
You may be sure the Christian
is a backslider who is afraid to
re; d his Bible.
No one can walk far with
Christ who is not on the side
of every thing that is good.
The best thing to do when
you do not know the way to go
is to seek divine direction.
The only person that God
cannot help is the person that
thinks that he can do every.
thing himself.
Ever once in a while you
Will find Il man that thinks that
noise in preaching is earnest,
ness.
He who keeps his eyes fixed
on Jesus will not see so much
fault in his brother.
1t is a serious matter to sc
speak of a sermon that others
will be influenced to reject the
truth.
The man who does his best il
e verything that lie does will
soon find that his skill as {
workman is increasing.
The church m ember that oc
cupies the front seat at the
theatre usually takes the back
seat at church.

topping the Paper.

"Yes. but you could have stop

Occasionally the argument is
met and it is hard to get over
or around, So many OF our
friends ask us to wait till they
come to town, or till they sell
their hogs or hay, or till they can
get the money, we actually be.
lieVe it is an accommodation to
most of our readers to wait till

lose the price of a years sub
scription, while trying to &C

and then we lose. But there
are so many good, substantial
people who pay for what they
get, we soon forget the scoun-
drels who beat us because we
trusted them.
If asked to discontinue a sub.
scription when it has expired,
we do so cheerfully: but if the
reader continues to take it out

and then request it to be stop,

A Good One,

A robust Illinois liar let loose
a story of a man who tried to
kill chinch bug. He fed him
poison, cracked him in the
doors, and froze him in ice. The
bug always came up smiling a
tiendish smile and looking at
man with a sardonic eye FL
nally he carried the bug to a
foundry and dropped it into a
ladle of melted iron. Then he
went off chuckling. Fifteen
years afterwards his wife broke
a skillet she had been using for
some years and that chinch bug

BUYS OLD NECKTIES.

'.I ran across a queer line of busi- ness the other day. said young man about town. II was dressing i'll the morning. when there came d gentle tap at my door. and i'll walked a small, swarthy individual with q big bag over his arm. Excuse me, sir. he said, po- litely. but have you any old cravats you have no further use for? If so, will buy them for cash or give new ones for them l was considerably as tonisheu a the propOSition.' continued the young man. but. like most every body who lives in apartments, 1 had Il lot of old ties of various kinds littering my dresser. and l proceeded to drag them to light. Altogether 1 dug up three doZen--AScOtS. tecES. fourth hands and silk and satin band scarfS. Hardly any of them showed the least signs Of wear: they were simply crum- pied and out of shape. and some of the light patterns were slightly Soiled. They were ties for which I had orig inally paid all the way from 11 cents to S2J0, and I dare say you could find a similar collection ill the quarters of almost any young bachelor i'll the city.
 Well. my swarthy visitor went through the pile with great care. smoothed everything out nicely and finally offered me half dozen new ties in exchange. I supposed, of course. that his stock of new stuff would be of the cheapest and gaudiest description and he surprised me great ly when he produced q sort of haber- daSher's portfolio from his bag and showed me some of the finest and handSomeSt neckwear l have seen this winter. We soon came to terms and closed the bargain. but before the lit tie man left ] pumped him q tri1e as to his peculiar business. He said that nearly all the ties he bought were nearly as good as new. and all they needed was renovating. He took them entirely apart, steamed and scrubbed the lich, heavy silk of which most of them are made. and when put togeth- CT again they could not be distin- guished from perfectly fresh stock. I tried to get him to tell me what he did with his wares after they were reha- bilitated, but on that point he was very vague and all he would say was that he sold 'em around 1 have an idea that they are handled by peddlers and disposed of in the smaller towns. where the fact that they are q little out of fashion wouldn't make much difference."-New Orleans Times Democrat.

KENTUCKY TALES.
Two AmusinG Stories from That State in Which Lawyers
 Figure.

An old, lawyer here tells of two anus ing things which, he alleges, occurred in Kentucky many years ago, says the. Louisville Times. On one occasion a wealthy man died, leaving a fortune, and the heirs became so Gissa dsfed with his will that they went to court to break it. One witness was called who furnished fun for the crowd. In giving his testimony he stated that the deceased did not wish to make d will because of a dream he had had. He was intensely superstitious, and this vision rather dampened his enthusi- asm with regard to making will. And pray,'' asked one of the lawyers, "what was this reuarka bic dream your friend had?''
 Well. sir" replied the witness, he dreamed that he made will, ar2 just as he signed it he saw lawyer coming in the room with a big bag to take all his money away.
 At another important trial which kept things lively a witness was vain, .conceited woman, who fancied sine could teach the lawyer a thing or two. While one of them was cross-exa min ing her she became very saucy, grinned at her husband, who sat in sight. and remarked tartly: Mir. Blank, you needn't worry me with them questions; you jest can't cotch me-"
 Madam" said the lawyer, Heaven knows I don't want to cotch you. and your husband looks like he was sorry he ever did"
 She was swept up and carefully re. moved from the s1aud.
