Richard X is tin incorrigible j youngster of 1<? who has shown a tendonc to lay the blame of his misdeeds on other shoulders. His favorite scapegoat was the family feline. A jar of sweets could not be opened, or a hit of ginger-* bread purloined, or a vase broken to atoms, without a lame excuse of Dick's, "I guess it was the I cat," calling forth his mother's reproaches: "Richard, you must not lay tho ^ blame on the cat of all the wickedness you are guilty of in this house." Not long after oue of these upbraiding*, in Sunday school, his teacher asked Richard the que#-1 tion, apropos of the devil's power on earth. 44Who is responsible for the wickedness of this world?" It was with a mixture of a contrite spirit and the old habit that little Dick answered: '4 Well, 1 sunnosn that I'm noi-Ht II ! J blame. But?1 think our cat has her paw in it." An Old IdM.

In the in-I troduction of his new history ?>f British India, to he published to- | I morrow, Sir William WilsouPunter, former member of the Indian legislative council and . former president of Oio -Indinnj education commission, referring! | to the advent of the United j States asacolonizing power, says: i "America starts upon her career j of Asiatic rule with an amplitude of resources and a sense of moral I responsibility which no previous I state of Christendom brought to the work. In her splendid and ditlicult task she will bo trammeled by no Portugese inquisition of the 16th century nor by the slave colonization of Holland in the 17th, nor by the synioal rule for gain of the rulers, which for a time darkened tho British inquisition of India in tho 18th. "The United States, in the governrnont of their dependencies, will represent the political con^ science of the lbth century. I hail their advent as a now power for good, not alone for the island I races coming under their care, | but also in that great settlement of European spheres of influence in Asia, which, if wo could see aright, form the world problem of our day."

Wateroe Messenger. ' Citizen" Josh Ashley hasiuaclo several visits to the State dispensary and he refers to liquors shipped to tho dispensaries as "concentrated extract of rat juice." ? In view of this it is pretty safe to assume that Mr Ashley will coil tine his drinking from the dispensary to sample packages only. A gentleman met him on the train the other day, says tho Sumter Freeman, and Mr Ashley told him of his visit to the dispensary "in order to observe the bottling process." Something got the matter with the machinery. The vats / "into which the liquor is poured and where it is diluted with water" wore examined. Commissioner Vance made a "haul" of "dead rats and mice?about two bushels in all, and the scum was as green as ever you 'seed' on a mud hole in Summer time." This brand is for sale exclusively at the "moral institutions" of the State. None genuine unless labeled 'chemically pure rat juice' Make no mistake.

If you would increase your hap. pines* and prolong your life, forget your neighbor's faults. Forget all the slanders you have ever heard. Forget the temptations. Forget the fault finding, and give a little thought to the cause which provoked it. Forget the peculiarities of your friends, and only remember the good points that make you fond of them. Forget all quarrels or histories you may have heard by accident, and which if repeated, would seem a thousand times worse than they are.? Blot out as far as possible all the disagreeables of life ; they will come hut they will on'y grow larger when you remember them, and the constant thought of the acts of meanness, or, worse still, aialice, would only tend to make vol) morn familiar /"VI. j v amutftiti*! t? inn viiviu. v7u" literate everything disagreeable from yesterday, start out with a clean sheet for today, and write upon it for sweet memory's sake only those things which are lovely and lovable.
