Of course their peep ing has been a source ot expense, hut the benefits of a Hock ol sheep in keeping down weeds and brush on a farm almost compensate lor care.

Dem “Tormulles.” “I wants to fin’ some white man dat knows sumthin’ ’bout torna- dics,” said an old colored man, as lie sat down in a Griswold street tobacco stoi c the other day. “Well, what do you want to know about them ?” “Waal, sail, I/.c hearn dat dey am caused by yviud. Am dat lack “Yes,tornadoes contain more or less wine), I believe.’’ “ISomc folks say dat dey start jn dc woods, an’ odder folks say dat dey begin in dc cl’arin’s. Kin you tell me which am de case ?” “I think they begin anywhere where it happens. ’ “So do I I, sail. Dey is jist as Jikcly to begin in my back yar as anywlier’ else. Dat settles dat point, an’ now I want to ax you bout de signs. How kin we tell W’ben a tornady am coming ?” “I don’t think you can fell.” “No, sail, nop I doan' either. Some folks say dat a pusson has a roarin' in de lied ’bout an hour ’fore de tornady gits along, but 1 doan’ beliebe it.

So with the waves of trou ble in the world; they threaten us but a firm resistance make them break at our feet. It requires no little learning to be correct, no little study to be simple, mid a great demand of lan gauge to be plain. It is your un ducutcd, or at best your lmlf-edu cated men, who confound their au diences with greut puffings of vau lty and exhibitions of bombast. Unceasing vigilance is the only way of safety. “While men slept an enemy came and sowed tmps in the field.” So it will he with our precious fiolds if we are neglectful or sink into a careless slumber with regard to these dangors. In general, pride is at the hot tom of all great mistakes. ^1) the qther passions do occasiouul good but wherever pride puts in its word everything goes wrong, and what might he desirably to do quietly and innocently, it is morally dan gerous to do prpqdly. Soap bubbles are airy things, but they soon burst. Just so it is with inun pulled up with vanity. They make a show for a season—sail on the current, but soon burst, and nothing is left of them. Duty itseif is supremo delight when loye is the inducement to labor. By such a principle the i nornqt are enlightened, the hard hearted softened, the disobedient reformed, and the faithful encour aged. Those who are dishonest in trade are educating all their clppke in dishonesty, and doing all they can to degrade and debauch business, and leave a legacy of dishonest tradesmen to the future.

Never giye all your pleasant words and smiles to strangers. The kindest words and the sweetest smiles should be reserved for home. The very word “humanity” dates from Christianity. No such idea, and, therefore, no such term was found among men fieforp Christ came. Forgiveness and a smilp are the best revenge. But don’t forgive and smile if your heart is not in it.
