When writing an article for the press, Whether prose or verse, JuBt try To utter your thoughts in the fewest words. And let them be crisp and dry; And when it is finished, and you suppose It is done exactly brown, Just look it over again, and them? Boil it down. Science and Religion.?Has any pro so author ever stated the true case between science and theology better than tho English poet Clough, who thus wrote: "When all is thought and said, The heart still over-rules the head; Stilt what we hope we must believe, And what is given us, receive.

Vain men always a-spire to places they cannot keep. Mrs. Snidkins says her husband is a three-hande? man?right hand, left hand and a little behind hand. The young woman's lament in sultry weather " Oh, my crimps !" Vanitas, vanitatum! Love without money is something like patent-leather boots without soles. As ; ohnrity covers, so modesty pre? vents, a multitude of sins. BjAt ft recent spelling match one man spelt it "pasnip," and got beet. Be slow to choose a friend, and slower to change him.
