Approved February 27, 1873. The Josh killings Papers. _ fciuhn' amp milk. Love iz scd tew bo blind, but i kno lots or pheltows in love who kan boo twice ax much iu their gals azi kan. The miser iz a riddle. What he pos sesses he haiot got, and what he leaves behind hiiu he never h .d. Good phisick ia like a fi 1 lie, it fur nishes the tune, while uatur cuts tho pigeon wing and cures the patient. Caution, tho very ofton wasted, iz a good risk to take. Pity iz about tho meanest wash that o ne man kan offer another, i had rather liar a 10 dollar greeabaek that had beeu torn io two twice and pasted together, than tew hare all the pity tbare is on the upper side or the earth. Pity iz noth ing more than a quiet satiifackshun that i am a great better oph than yu am, and that i intend to keep so. Fortune iz like a coquett, if you don't ran after her she will run after you. Did jou ever hear a very ritch man sing ? If i was going to paint a pikturo of Faith, Afection and Honesty, i would paint mi dog looking up io mi face and waggon his tail. Kddie (a very smart boy).?"Pa, how many chickens aro thoroon that di?h '." Parent.?'"Two, my son." Eddio.?''No, there are tluoo. This is one, and that is two; and don't one and two make throe ?" Parent.?"Well, then, your mother may have one, I'll take the other, and you may have the third for your din ner. Tho devil is a pieao kuxe. lie nevm keeps hiz own promises but alwus makes us beep ours. Truth iz az artless az a child, and az purswssive. Thare iz nothing io Xhi? life men pay so hi a price for az tbey do ior repen tance. Laws are made, customs grow; law hav tew be executed, customs execute themselves; laws be^in where customs end* Men who bav a good doal tow say. use the fewest words. Punning iz nothing moro than mjraiekry. The best punster now living iz a mon key; he makes a pun on a louse forty times a day bi skratehing his head. The road tew wealth js a highway; but tho road tew kwowledge iz a bye way. Shame iz the djeing embers tew vir ttw 1 et during the forenoon too often, baz allroddy diskounted hiz dinner. 1 never knu it tuun troubled with mol aukoily why had plenty tew dew, and did it. Good breeding, nz i understand, it, iz giving every n.au hi/, due, without rob bing yburtiolf. 1 dcn'l know ova better kuro for sor row than tew pity b unebody else. Kxpcriencc i/. a grindstun; and it iz lucky lor us if we kan get brightened by it?not ground . We shouldn't forgit one thing: that there iz not n single foe simple on this futstool: eren the best tooth in our lied may fall tew akiug before sunset, and hav tew bo jcrkod out. Ignorance iz tho wetnuss ov prejudice. Anticipation iz koustautly nibbling expekted pleasure until it consumeB it; jia.-i so the school boy, who visits his bus Natur iz jist as honest az a oow. Talk little, but listen loul, iz the way tew make the company ruspekt yu; I mean suspekt yu ov knowing a grate deal more than yu nktully <lo. [f you should reduce the wants ov the people ov Nu York citty down tew aktu al necessity* and jdaia comforts, you would hav tew dubblo the pcrlice force tew keep them from committing sui cide. People, when they find fault w'.lh thcirselt, are generally more anxious tew be consoled than forgiven; and, there fore, when a man begins tew confess hiz sins tew tlie, and sez "thrrr isn't HO hope for him*' i teli him lie ought tew kno awl about it, and l guess iz uioro than half right. What the world wants iz a good exam pies, not so much advice; advice may be wrong, but cxamplei prove thetnselfs. Pride is bogus. Adam at ono time had a right tew bo proud: but he let siu beat him out of hiz birthright. A crowing hen and a cackling ruso lor ?:c very miwlorumate poultry iu a luurily. Az a gineral thing the man who unr rys u woman ov more npjporcrutt than himself, will find the woman more anxious tew preserve the distance ba tweeu thorn than tew bring him up tew her grade or go down tew his level. Titles are valuable ; they make u? acquainted with menny persona who would otherwise be lost auumj the rubbish. Peace ir. the softaud holy shudder that virtew casts. Habits are like the wrinkles on a man's brow ; if you will smooth out the one, i will smooth out the other. It it a darned sight eazicr to find six men who ken tell exactly how a thing o? i.? ht tow be did, than to lind uue w ill do it. Marrying for money iz a meiner way tew git it than counterfeiting. Dispatch iz taking lime bi the ears. Iiurry iz taking it bi the end ov the tail. The miser who heaps up gains tew gloat over, u like a hog iu a pen fitttod for a show. Tho Hired Man. The skilled workman, whoso moral character is faultless, forms one of the noblest typesofour American oivilizati >n Such workmen can be found, not only iu tho machine shops but on tho farm Such men hate not dreamed themselves into position, but have formed fur them selves characters that are of value and worth, and their services are always in doinnjad. The model hired man is one who is an early riser; one who looks af ter the most trivial matters about the farm. 11* he sees anything tint ought to be done he docs it as soon as an oppor tunity occurs Let it Only I'c a fence rail, a plank that is wanting, it is re placed in its proper position. A groal many little things arc being constantly ? Handed of the hired m an; but prompt attention to theni is a matter of very great importance to his employers, The working-man on the farm should eudcavrjr to take ns much interest iu seeing that everything is dune at the right time, and iu tho best possible way ac the employer himself In thi^ way he will render himself useful?nay, al most indispensable -to any thorough going fanner who fortunately contrail iho services of suoh a man. Rousting;, Ann Strong was a sad llttlo boaster. I he ugh she ment to speak the truth, she was so vain and thoughtless that no <>no would believe her. She always wanted a long lessen. She would say, "I oan loam it all, it is it is not too harl for mo;" though when her class was called out to be examined, sha was often sent back to hor seat ta study. * I f anything was to be done at home or at school, Ann would always say, "I know how, please let me do it j" even if it was a thing she could m do at all. Ann's teacher wished some one to point to the name of the cities on a large map, so that all the girls in the class might knew where to find them. * Oh, let mo do Unsaid Anu, 'I know how as well as can bo.' ?Yes, you may do it," said Miss K*.1 ton: but Ann could not poiet to a single name that her teacher cilled. 'You are like a silly little pigeon I used to hear about when I was a Ulis? girl," said hor sister. A bright eyed little girl, raising hor right hand, 'Oh, please tell us all about the pigeon.', * 'The story,' replied Miss Eaton, 'as that when the pigeon first came into, the world, all the other birds eame and ofTered to sbo^ her how to build a nest." 'The cat bird showed her its nest, nil made of sticks and bark; and the spar row showed her theirs, which were woven with moss and hair. But the pigeon, walking about in a very vain Wn>y, aud turning her head from side to side, said: 'I know how; I know how to build my nest as well as toe best of ., yislc/M litt you f Then tho black bird showed his nest, which was fastened to some reed*, and -wuug over the water, and the turtle dove said hers was easier to build than all, for it was quite flat and made Only of sticks laid to together. Hut the pl?j ?v>n turned her pretty head as before and said. ' I k now how.' 'At 1-ist all the birds left her. Thea tho pigeon found that she did not know how at ail: and she went without a nest uutil a man took pity on hor, and built a pigeon house and put some h?y into it. 'Now, children', though the story of the pigeon isenly a f.iblo, and net trno, yet you may loam a vary useful ken son. 'Little bops and girls who are vaiu boasters, arc- laughed at by others, and deoeive themselves. Like the silly pig eon, they say: 1 know how " but they ofteu lind to their sorrow, when i; is too late, that they do not. llomcmbcr, my dear children, that whou you once learn to do anything wall you will uot need to boast of it. Oilitig Harness. The fallowing recipe is scut us by A. Tait, of Howard county, Kansas. He thinks it is the best he has ever used, and it is se simple that any one may easily try the experiment: Take about half a gallon of oil, and put in a shallow pan or basin, and dip the harness in, one pioco or raoro at a time; then strip the oil ofT of the strap with your fingers, Jetting it run back into the basiu; hang up to dry; repeat the dipping of the harness two or three times until it will take no more oil. A little lamp black added helps the looks very much. After the oiling take a rag and rub off the harnoss, and you will find the hardest leither and tbo stiffest lug have become very pliablo and will re main so from one to three years, ^ou. may leave thorn out iu the rain a dozen times; and you cannot sco but thoy are us pliable as before the water touched them. And not only that,but the rata and mice will never touch them. If they are dirty, it is u jt t ece&saiy to clean belore oiling. The pardoning power has been t*kep away fioin the Govern jr of Iowa
