"Governor Pennypacker says he

that's because Pennypacker has
gotten SO many roasts from editors,
we suppose.-News-L Leader.
Conscience is one of the worst
dodgers to have in your house; when
ne gets quarrelsome, there is no abid-
ing with him, i'll at lying down and
equally troublesome at rising up. A
guilty conscience is one of the curses
of the world; it puts out the sun and
takes away the brightness from the
moonbeam. A guilty conscience casts
a noxious exhalation through the air,
removes the beauty from the land
scape, the glory from the flowing
river, the majesty from the rolling
Hoods. There is nothing which is
beautiful to the man who has a
guilty conscience.-Spurgeon.
