Adv. Rippling Rhymes By WALT MASON Argument. I 've never found in joint de bate much profit or pleasure, though I have arguments of weight, and facts beyond all measure. My neighbors sit around all day and argue with out ceasing: they jabber, in their tireless way, until their lungs need greasing. They say the same thing o'er and o'er, a million times they've said it; and in the village not a store will give these alecks credit. They tell how go eruineiits would run if their advice were heeded, and lack the price to buy a ton of coal that's badly needed. Some of their wives are scrubbing floors and others take in wash ing, while all the day these wise old bores are arguing and joshing. There are so many use ful jobs that people should be doing. 1 don't admire the windy swabs, their talkfcst still pursuing. That man will yet he in a box, will yet be swatted dizzy, who leans against a post and talks while other men are busy.
