We can haul you to the Camp meeting and return with safety and with pleasure. But the crowds that ride back and forth between the Camp Ground and the Spring make it unpleasant. When platforms and foot boards are full it is dangerous. We hope our friends will help us out of so much Sunday work. W. F. Smith. The Rosetta Stone.

How about It?” "Well,” said the salesman, “you uro right. It did cost me but 25 cents per meal, but I tell you, sir, it’s worth the other 25 to eat those meals.”—New York Twwes.

It is my mental organization which has become ineffably sensitive by reusou of the critical nature of my duties.” Then he drew from the pocket of his dress coat a well thumbed copy of the score of “Lohengrin.” Opening it at the march, he went over to the organist and said: “What offended my ear was the fact that In the seventeenth bar of tho anda 1 cajio passage you flutted very badly, and in the andante movement you Blurred the appogglatura.
