Thrift and economy are two ex-
cellent traits for anyone to possess,
but they may, like all other traits,
be carried to extremes and become
a nuisance. To illustrates: OF the
seven hundred inmates at the Old
Prison, who were asked to contri-
butte small amount to the apple
aud candy fuEd, nine of those hav-
ing accounts in the Office refused.
One of the nine is reputed to be
worth over $4,000, and yet he re-
fused to help make things cheerful
by a small donation of two bits. .
Our feelings are too deep for words.
Let it suffice to say that none of the
nine received any benefit from the
fund.

J. a. r., Aug. 18th, 1870.

Leo is your birth sign.
You are passive in disposition, do
nestle in taste, and emotional in
feelings. You should have a sunny,
happy nature; loving flowers, pic-s
lures and music. You yield to SUR
roundings and have great trouble In
overcoming cbsticies. You bear
trouble rather than fight it. You
are very sensitive, and always hop-
ing for the best. You laugh very
easily and seldom. cry. Not good
tc argue. You would make a fine
decorator.
Keep on being happy. Your fut-
ure depends on the same. The one
who loves flowers and music is not
bad at heart. Leo is the Sign of the
Heart.

They pass above the common head.

A dainty quip and fancy leave;
For being of the common folk,
The obvious is my only joke.
The wits choice egert dies the

Or hardly it has drawn it's breath;
The joke that all men understand
Goes merrily Throughout the land:
The jests that suit the comic page
Live on through each succeeding
age,
No lapse of time in mist can cloak
The meaning of the obvious joke.
The famous scholars bright conceit
Will fade before the Zany's bleat;
The first Jack Pudding's silly jape
Our life can still to laughter shape;
The chestnut saved in Noah's Ark
Till Doomsday GENES will make
its mark;
Mankind's last laugh it will evoke,
Because it's such an obvious joke.
