Advantaaes of Madness.

The truth is fear. that madness
mas great advantage over sanity
Sanity Is always careless. Madness Is
always careful There is a great deal
of falsehood in the notion that truth
must necessarily prevail There is this
falsehood to start with-that if man
has got the truth he is generally happy
And If he Is happy he is generally
lazy TIE incessant activity, the exag
gcrated intelligence. generally belong
to those who are little wrong and
Just a little right. The whole advan-
tage OF those who think that Bacon
wrote Shakespeare, says Gilbert j.
Chesterton, writing In the Illustrated
London News lies simply In the fact
that they care whether Bacon wrote
Shakespeare. The whole disadvantage
OF those who do not think 1t lies In the
fact that they do not care about II.
The sane man who Is sane enough to
see that Shakespeare wrote Shake
speare Is the man who is sane enough
not to worry whether he did or not.

Tho Crafty Brother.

A man had two sons. The elder was
yirtuous and dutiful the younger wick
ed and crafty. When the father was
about to die, he called them before him
and said II have only two things OF
value-my herd of camels and my
blessing. How shall | allot themT
"Give to me-" said the younger son,
"thy blessing, for It may reform me.
The camels should be sure to sell and
squander the money"
The elder. Disgusting his Joy, said
that he would try to be content with
the camels and plous mind. 1t was
30 arranged, and the man died. Then
the wicked younger son went before
the cadi and said: Behold. my brother
has defrauded me of my lawful her
ltage. He Is 30 bad that our father, as
Is well known, denied him his blessing.
Is II likely that he gave him the cam
els?"
So the elder brother was compelled

bAstinadoed for his rapaclty.

We are sorry to learn that many
orchards have been badly damaged
the past winter. No trees have been
injured in this vicinity that we have
heard of. In the winter of 1866 there
were many apple trees killed and in

peeled off readily and the trees died.
Farmers who have lost apple trees
don't be discouraged, plant more
trees and cultivate well and you will
have nice growing trees. Nothing
pays better than good orchard.
