ITEMS OF INTKRKST In fasting inatchc3 the winner should be the one who first starves to doath. Mr. Keely, the motor man, has burated a blood-vessel trying to inako tho motor go, A Boston physician says high-heeled shoes ruin the eyesight. He nioy save his eyes by turning them in another di rection. White neckties are so cheap this season that many a sad-faced man has secured a railroad ticket at half fare on the strength of his throat-gear. Life is like a pack of cards. Childhood, best cards are hearts; youth is captured by diamonds; middle age is conquered with a club; while old age is raked in by the insatiable spade. "If I have ever used any unkind words, Hannah," said Mr. Smiley reflectively, "I take them all back." "Yes, 1 suppose you want to u-:e them over again," was the not very smooth reply. A chivalrous young man in Norfolk, Va., knocked a young girl down with a brick bat and broke several of her left ribs, be cause she wouldn't marry him. He was determined to get at her heart some way. Lotta is to be married, it is s-'d, and has gone into training for the ceremony. She thinks that with a few months1 prac tice she can learn to walk from the vesti bule to the chancel without kicking more than five times. A young man who held a loaded pistol to his head and threatened to blow his brains out unless the girl who refused him would consent to have him, was coolly told that he vould have to blow some brains in his head first. He didn't blow. Robinson (after a long whist bout at the club) "It's awfully late, Brown. What will you say to j'our wife, Brown?" Brown (in a whisper) "Oh I shan't say much, you know. "Good morning, dear,' or something of that sort. She'll say the rest." An old judge ot the New York supreme court meeting a friend in a neighboring village, exclaimed: "Why, what are you doing here?" "lam at work trying to make an honest living," was the reply. "Then you'll succeed," said the judge, "for you'll have no competition." After a night's alarm was over and it was discovered that a cat had merely up set a vase, the husband said: "Dear you should never rush ahead of me in that way when you think there are burglars down stairs, for I might want to shoot into them and you might be killed." The poet has referred idlers to the ant for a lesson on industry. The common house fly, however, wears the belt for per sistent perseverance. One of these crea tures will go a thousand times to the same spot on a man's bald head, and yet there is nothing to be gained by it any way. Mrs. Tidince says she doesn't so much object to being hugged by a street-car con ductor as she does to the half-score of hand prints that a day's shopping inevit ably leaves upon her white waist. Either conductors must be less affectionate or keep their hands clean. This is her ulti matum. Skikts and underskirts are now made stf as to form two various narrow points in the back, reaching to the middle of the skirt. The breadth of goods is placed where these points terminate, and either gathered or plaited. By this means all the fullness remains in the back, and the front and over the hips are perfectly plain. A Burke county (Ga.) man rigged him self up as a bear, to have some fun, and he got it, for the inhabitants turned out with dogs and ran him four miles over a stumpy country before he could make them understand that he wasn't a boar; and then they talked of tar and feather ing him for alarming the women folks of the neighborhood, and finally gave him three days to leave the country. He won't play bear any more. Tho Moral Faculties. There is no faculty proper to man of higher import than tho sentiment of re spect and reverence, which when directed to tho Supreme Being leads to adoration. In its relation to the external world, it produces the tendency to look up to obedience. In its relation to mind, it pre disposes to religious feeling and piety. Its existence, in fact, establishes, that m addition to natural religion, based upon a knowledge of the order, beauty, power, wisdom and harmony displayed in the works of creation, thero is also impjanted in us a faculty for worship which is innate in man's own nature, as well as from what he perceives of the outer world. When deficient, the mind is more or less insen sible to respectful and reverential feelings; when too powerful or active, it produces superstitious respect for objects, such of i !, i which either repose on mere dogmas, or have nothing but their antiquity, or gen eral acceptance, to recommend them. Next in importance to tho faculty of ven eration, that which produces the desire of the happiness ot others, and disposes to compassion and active benevolence, un questionably takes rank. The faculty, in its normal and natural exercise, commu nicates mildness and cheerfulness to the temper, and disposes the possessor to view charitably the actions and character ol others. When the faculty is deficient there i indifference to the welfare of others. When in excess or abused, it leads to ill judged charity, to pseudo-philanthropy ura sentimentahsm, and to profusion and extravagance. The conduct in life in con nection with the wise enjoyment of such a faculty is, then, to carefully and incessant ly cultivate so areata gift, but at the same time to restrain its activity within the just bounds of wisdom and prudence. If the faculty of veneration is of high import in our relations with a Supreme Being, and the faculty of benevolence of our relations with our fellow-creatures, so is the faculty of conscientiousness with regard to our selves. It produces the feeling of obliga tion and incumbency, and tlie sense of right and wrong. Justice is the result of this sentiment, acting in combination with the intellectual powers. When the faculty is deficient or neglected, individuals are prone to do unprincipled actions, if tempt ed by interest or inclination. It is the want of conscientiousness which also pro duces that state of mind which has no per fectibility of man; which disregards the immutable distinction of right and wrong; and which has no trust in the ulti mate triumph of truth and justice over selfishness, fraud, and violence. When carried to excess, a faculty in all other re respects so desirable and praiseworthy indeed, so important in considering the future prospects and welfare ot humanity is capable of inducing too great a sus ceptibility in regard to possibilities of er ror in conduct. It induces pangs of re morse, and may even lead to doubt or despair in the mercifulness of tho Supreme Being. w0aM STANDS TO-DAY WITHOUT A RIVAL IN THE WORLD.
