COrrecl Speaking.

All young people should acquire 10
early life. the habit of correct speak

early as possible. any use Of slang
words and phrases. The longer you
live the more difficult the language
will be: and if the golden age of youth
the proper season for the acquisition of
language, be passed in lbs abuse, the
unfortunate victim, if neglected, very
properly doomed 20 talk slang for life.
Money is not necessary To procure
this education. lie has merely 10 use
the language which he reads instead
of the slang which he hears; TO form
his taste from the best Of speakers and
poets i'm the country 10 treasure zap
choice phrases in his memory and
habituate himsefto their use, avoid
ing at the same time that pedantic
precision aud bombast which show
the weakness of vain ambition rather

Wind Your OYn Business.


Those are just the words. Had we
looked through "Web,ter's Unabrid-
ged' We could not have found four
words that expressed so entirely our
meaning as these. We believe the
four words were made with direct re-
ference 10 the grumbling growing
mischiefmakers.
People who never mind their own
business are very much such a class
Of animals as the cross, surly, whihet
dogs, that are always barking, biting
and nabbing somebody. We wonder
10 they would appreciate a lecture?
We will ask them a few questions just
90 ind out. Don't you think the
world and the people in il will live
and prosper without the tremendous
anxiety you carry ON your shoulders
by keeping an eye on everything and
everybody in the whole neighborhood
and world besides? Can't Mrs. A..
make sweetcake without your lying
awake nights for fear there is going To
be "a wedding and you will not be invi-
ted3 Can'tJeunie haNeanew gown but
you must Immediately see it and know
the price, and for whit special occa-
sion 10 was purchased, or die of eur
iosity? Can't neighbor b. aud his
wife go by but you'll bet they're going
10 see somebody and have sighted
YOU
Did God make you and us ON pur-
pose suyerntend His universe, and
everybody's affairs and assume the
control of the free Will" he gave men?
Is this the purpose and plan Of our eX-
istence and destiny, TO forever be
meddling with somebody's business?
10 gives Us that tired feeling TO think
Of the pains some people takesto gath
en- the smallest item Of news. They
leave their own garden 10 grow full of
weeds while they are trying TO hold up
before everybody, the few they pull
from their neighbor'-. They do every
thing but mind their own business.
They never speak Of their own fault
or follies. No,indeed. by the time the
whole town is criticised and judg-
ment pronouncedt, they have not
moment left TO do more than con-
graduate themselves ON their own
good works.
People who don't mind their buis-
ness bring more misery into families,
societies and churches than everything
else combined. They turn the pleas
ant. peaceful stream of good will unto
loathsome pool.
Winding our own business will
make peaceful homes, happy neigh
bors and a sweet con science that will
make "a, know why Jesus loved
the peacemak rs and said Of them
blessed are the peace makers,
for they shall he called the children
Of God.
Now this Is plain talk, but if the
shoe does not fit you, then do not put
il ON. but shoulc it iit the longer you
wear it the better it will be for you
and the entire community.
