"There nro six things that tbo Lord

All men ought to havo found out by
this tlmo that It Is never safe, cither
for a public functionary or a private in
dividual, to do wrong. It Is neversafo (o
Indulge in swindling, cheating, or bribe
taking. It Is never safo to prnetico cor
ruption, any kind or degree of it. It is
never rafo to I ml ul go in falsehood,
nnv sort of It. It Is never tare to do any
thing which would bring shame to the
doer by being rovcalcd. Ono may fancy
his misdeeds can't be found out, or have
been covered up, or can be so covered; or
that they can't be dented or explained
away bo that peoplo will be deceived
about them: but yet it remains true that
thero can bo no safety for tho wrong
doer, and no security against its expos
ure Though this looks hard to some
people, it is nevertheless In accordance
with the fixed and irreversible moral
law of thlntrs and of being. Tho only
safety for a man, or for p, womnii) Is In re
fraining from wrong and In doing right.

of human history, it was said, ''Bo suro
your sins will find you out."

They had been engaged for a long time,
and one evening they wore reading the
paper together. "Look, love," ho ex
claimed, "only twenty dollars for a suit
of clothes!" "Js It a wedding suit?"
she asked, looking naively at her lover.
"un, no," 110 answered, "it's a business
suit." Well, I meant business," she
replied,
"Civilization," snld a father to his In

cannon ball; the other cuts oil' their
heads with a sabre at closo quarter."
An old lady with 11 large family, living
near a river, was uskotl It sho'dld not

she replied; "wo have only lost three or

Yesterday afternoon thoro was a per
sistant recurrence of ominous slleuco
nnd hilarious laughter among tho two
dozen or moro carriers of tho Easton
Free Frets, that bocamo so monotonous
that wo felt called unon to Investigate.
Wo looked, and behold! tho hoys had
Invented a now game, having all tho
olemsnts of dangerous fun necessary to
perfect enjoyment.
Ono boy stood with his back against
the wall: tho noxt bov stooped down
his head in tho flrat boy's stQuwchj the
third boy stooped with' his head on tho
second boy's back, nnd in this w'ny the
lino was continued back ns far as de
sirable. Then all tho eparo boys took a
running leap in succession, putting
their hands on tho hindmost bov. and
jumped over ns many as possible, to
corao down nt tho end of tho Jump on
a boy's neck with tho force of an infan
tile pile-driver, and tho next boy
comes down on him In tho same way;
tho efforts of tho Jumpers being direct
ed to breaking the line of tho stoopers
or their neckd, cither object nppoarlng
to bo equally desirable and attainable.
Tho position of tho hoy against tho
wall is ono of grent honor and respons
ibility. It requires 11 boy of strong
stomach to onjoy tho process of having
tho bond of another hoy driven into his
waistband by tho continued efforts of
lfi of his fellows. Sometimes tho
jumpers become unbearably enthusias
tic, aim mo uoy agninst tno wan iiuds
It necessary to stop aside to reswallow
his dinner. This gives tho stooping
hoy a chanco to distinguish himself as
his head is Jammed against tho wall so
hard that ho feels his ears stlckitiL' out
under his arms. Sometimes it happens
that a small, consumptive boy gets into
thu lino of stoopcrs, and when a big boy
comes down on hM hack ho breaks in
two, and this causes 11 hiatus that is
immediately filled by tho stoopers in
uioreiir, wno sprawl uu tneir noses and
elbows, while tho retnalalng Jumpers
cavort over thorn like a cavalry charge.
The Mississippi planters havo formed a
combination against tho merchants who
furnish them supplies In advance of their
crops. Tho merchants charge fifty per
cent, profit, and glvo credit for a year.
They claim that their expenses and
losses rcduco tho profit to fifteen per cent
The other day a mean man out in
Western Iowa went off Into a quiet
country piaco and died so quick that his
wife got Ills insuranco money before tho
company had tlmo to fall. The president
says he never felt so swindled and out up
since ho has been In business.
The loss of human life during the great
flood in Ilengal, following the great
cyclone of 1800, has lately been ascert
ained to have amounted to 105,000. It
was estimated nt tho time at near 300,000.
The f-'cioutlflc expedition around tho
world mny, perhaps, be ablo to (ell us
when It returns why a man always takes
offhis boots first when undressing, whllo
a woman begins at her hair-pins.
JTahhowino: Whkat. Secretary
Slratton, of tho Colorado Hoard of
Agniciiituro, in his report to (Jovernor
uouti, among other interesting Inform
ation has tho following in relation
to harrowlugwheat:
Tho practice of harrowing winter
wheat in tho spring of tho year has
obtained to some oxtont in tho West
orn states: and reasoning from itualoirv.
Mr. 1'. M. llluman, ot Iloulilcr countv
a memhor of tho hoard having a
Hold of wheat which failed to havo a
good stand, and whoso general out
look was ovory way Inferior to the
balance of his wheat, decided to
harrow the Hold nruljnoto tho results.
Tho harrow was faithfully applied
when tho young wheat win four to
six Inches high. Many of Mr. llln
man's neighbors who witnessed the
opiMtitiou, wcro very free to express
their opinion that tho wheat would lie
ruined. Such, however, was not the
case, as- Mr. llluman informed me
that immediately after tho harrowing
tho wheat took a better look, and
commenced growing rapidly; anil at
harvest time tho Holds treated gave
tho largest yield.
