THE EXPRESS. Cedartown, January 10th. AM. SORTS. Tlic laborer is worthy of his ex celsior. SUigh-riddlng nlfords k. k.—cold comfort. The prodigal’s return—Gold comes to par. A model buy-word—Cash. Nothing was made in vein, except human blood. It is a good artist who can draw pay. With tho shrewd legislator “it never too luto to a—mend.’ Judicious hanging is a need of the times. If the Boston I’ost can be believed, no ghost need spectre go to heaven. A man takes no interest in a bad investment. The inebriate’s song—This is the way I long have sol. Practicing in a pistol gallery is deer shooting. Actions speak louder than words, in pantomime. Isn’t a biliard player a baize ball player—what think cue? Garlic is said to be a sovereign remedy for gout. There is no reme dy for garlic. A New York shopkeeper has writ ten on his door; ‘Every one shuts this door but you.’ • In fishing for pickeral through the ice you want to cut an angler hole. It is not good for mail to he alone, unless ho holds both bowers anti the ace. Mary had a little Inmh. It wub roasted, ami she wanted more. Spring ch ekens and new maple sugar continue to cornu in ns usual. Children raised in the lap of lux ury are u long time in learning to go alone. Yuungimnn,jin beginning the jour ney ol life, don't take tho train from tho wrong deep-owe. It lias snowed so much in England this week that the little island looks like Itobinsou Crusoe’s white-peak- ed hat. White ice at 890 per ton, it is no •wonder that our young folks are ob liged to skate on rollers. The King of tht Keejee Islands is ■aid torelishj’Uaby Mine’very much. He likes it well done, too. ‘Set solid,’ as the prill ter said when the chair Ije sat down wasn’t - there, And he landed on'tho Hour. J A hint to ladies who will wear out side pockets. Have your purses mude up to look like prayer books. A poor tire is a pokerish thing in cold weather. Yes; oud u great bore, too. It cannot be that ‘all flesh is grass.’ Grass gets its dew—about the only thing tliut does ill this world. Thera are two kinds of men who tell the truth—one from forces of ciroumatnhecs and the other for a change. When Cleopatra speaks of her "salad day,” does she menu her in fancy, when she was dressed by sume cue else?’ The New York Mail knows ol a married man who was never asked to take the chair in domestic affairs but once, and then tho family were moving. A man with a cold in his heuduis- likes togire event io his feelings in clniroh, und consequently gets down on his sneeze while there. A fellow out SVest got a sentence ,of twenty years for stealing horses. That is what might be called an Ev- arts sentence. It was very long. If “every mail is ilie arohiu.01 of bis own fortune,’the most of them had better abandon architecture and go to sawing wood. A great writer says: ‘Some people are born Christians,’ Hut there’s mo occasion for worrying over the mutter; they generally outgrow it. When a joke is U9 old as the hills it has little vulley. O, it hasn’t, eh? Then you don’t know u circus clown getB 8125 a week. A la Punch; What is difference between last year und this one?

A young lady Buid to her lover. ‘Charley, how laris it around' tile world?’ ‘About twenty-four inolies, my darling,’ replied lie, us Ins arm enoircled her watte. She was all the world to him. Here is u horrible one from the fiend of tho New Haven Register: "•Don’t venture on the thin ice, just yet, boys. If you should break through you might take a bad cold, D(1 perhaps have a cotllu fit.’ THE NEW LEAF. JANUA11Y 1 New Year, Seventy-eight, No beer— Water straight! No joke— Mighty true!

Reel’s thill— Weak stuff! Whisky skin Good enough. Ilia Favorite Foon.—Mr. Eon- gears started a conversation the oth-r evening on favorite foods. One pro ferred venison, anotherphensiint, and so on, und bo on, till It came to tli ■ Hon. Eougears himself to name his favorite- “Gwacious, 1 don’t know, you know?’ he said; but Miss Neid- elwytte. tile celebrated lecturer, who wus present, suggested*—thist les.—[Judy, A Reckless Si-endthhift.—Po lice Court Justice: “Well, und you no •livings?’ ‘Yes, sir; about seventy-five cents.’ ‘All, yes, I see; and you’ve gone and spent it all in hideous or gies. Six months.’ THEY ALE WANT IT, Because it is a family newspaper of pure, sound reading lor old and young, and it ooiitniiis a reliable and comprehensive summary of nil the important news. THE NEW YORK OBSERVER, the Best Family Newspaper, publish es both llie religious and secular news that is desired in any family, while- all that is likely to do harm is shut out. It devotes four pages to reli gious news, und four to secular.

We do not run a benevolent insti tutions, and we do not ask for the support or olmritr. We propose to make tile Best Newspaper that is pub- lislied, and wo propose to sell it as cheaply us it cun be afforded. Eet those who wont pure, sound, sensible, truthful reading, subscribe fur it und let them induce others to do the same. We are now publishing in the, Observer tile hi lory of “Jsan The.
