Preoepta and RractIoea.

A mother had impressed upon the mind of her little boy the importance of keeping the commandments. One day he wes tempted to take an orange from a basket where he could do so without being detected He had not, however, gone far before 1t came into his mind, ''Thou shalt not steal" His conscience was troubled. He thought he would carry 1t back at once, but then it was so nice. He. however, de cided at last to be honest with the command and not to steal. So he re turned it and went away, if not with the orange, with what was better. a clear conscience. When his mother asked him if he had been good boy all the day he was little confused and said:
 "I don't know; pretty good guess haven't broken any of the command ments. but l guess I cracked one of them."-Mack's Monthly.

Spain, and here is the history of it's origin: After the Moors first invaded the country the Christian and Mosleul population became so mixed that it was difficult to say which were MOors and which Spaniards. The Spaniards then hit upon a means by which they could at once distinguish their breth- ren. They did nOt1shave their lips any longer, and they allowed a tuft of hair to grow below their under lips, so that their boards formed the rude outline of a cross. Thus the mustache became a symbol of liberty and fraternity Exchange
