The Linden Exchange was not do eerted on last Saturday evening until a late hour.

What right has any

Tho boys from Linden F., went to Romney on last Saturday night and installed an ollice there.

The young people mot in the shoo store on last Sunday evening aud organized a young mens' Christian association, and named it for Miss Fannie Edwards. We hope it may do good in keeping tho young converts in line of duty. If there were CO conversions the association should hold them.

By a majority of voterB of this township remonstrating against the sale of intoxicating drinks, or tho licensing of any one in the township to retail spirituous liquors by the small to be drank where sold, does look like the temperance peoplo were in earnest about not

wanting a saloon in the township. Tho greatest revival ever held in Linden was conducted by Miss Fannie Edwards, of Richmond, Ind. She is an evangelist for certain, and people came from ten to fifteen miles to be at her meetings, but ill health caused her to abandon it when GO were at the altar and 4 joined the church at the last meeting.

The revival juet closed here wa9 a good thing for the increase of attendance at the social meetings held here. It makes men and women better. It helpB parents to set a good example before their children. Sister Fannie Edwards labored so hard that her health failed her and she was compelled to rest up.

Hocry Ww\l Beech or rook pleasure in the wonderful colors of precious stones. Ho cared for them uot as jewels, but as crystallized dew'drops and sparks of living fire. Rnskin, too, is said to carry diamonds loose in his pockets, just so that he may take them out and flash tbem in the sunlight for liis own delectation. And now the learned men havo discovered what women havo known always—that diamonds came down from heaven, for no power on earth was great enough to preduee them. This is how scientists claim to have found out tho truth we knew from the beginning. It seems that in South Africa experts have been puzzled finding in blue earth, the natural bed of thorough diamond, stones which had been fractured, and it was evident that no upheaval of the soil could have effected such result. Then the wiso heads bethought themselves to see whether there were any traces of diamonds in meteoric iron, and sure enough such traces are said to havo been found. So now all tho world is ready to believe thai there are really diamonds in tho sky. Speaking of word pictures, where is there one which could bring the diamond more plainly into view than this?

Oyrttern.

"When I was a boy," said the middle aged man, "nobody ever used to think of stewing oysters in milk, though I believe that barbaric practice did hegin just before the war, but. now almost everybody eats them that way, and they cook them that way in restaurants. It seems a pity. The oyster is not tlw least of the blessings vouchsafed to us, and why anybody should want to disguise its gamy and at the same time delicious flavor with milk I do not see. "To stew oysters in milk is even worse, than to dip them in batter before broiling or frying them, when but a thin coat of cracker (lust is all that is required, and even this is likely to be dispensed on broiled oysters by one who has eaten oysters broiled just as they come from the shell. "But it should not lie understood from this that batter can reasonably bear no relation whatever to tho oyster far from it. There is, for instance, the oyster fritter, certainly a very pleasant subject, to dwell upon. But in this case the blessing has been added to the common place, not the commonplace to the blessing."—New York Mm.

SpiirjciMHiV Point* or th#» Preach^riV^ "Mind you avoid inappropriate texts," said Mr. Spnrgeon one day to his college students. "One brother preached oil the loss of a ship with a! hands on board from 'So he bringeth tliem to their desired haven,' and another returning from his marriage holiday: 'The troubles of my heart are enlarged. Oh, bring me our of my distress!' Mind your figures of speech are not cracked. Don't talk like the brother who said, 'I fly from star to star, from cherry beam to cherry beam.' Get among your peoplo or somebody may saying of you, as one old lady said of her minister, that he was invisible all the week and incomprehensible on Sundays. Shun all affectation in the pulpit,, and mind you never get into the goody goody style. One of this sort, said, 'I was reading' tins morning in dear Hebrews.'''—New York Observer.

Christmas Tips.

One of the objections to Christmas boxes, writes James Payu, is that one is seldom quite certain whether oue is giving to the right people. Dumas fells us that he took solne pains to discover one Christmas day what ho was paying for. A second lamplighter excited his suspicions. "I have already made my little present,"he said, "to the. man that lights tho street lamp." "Yes, Eir," returned the other, "but I am the man who puts it out."

Tho Com In tho Mortgage. Tliore is a man in Taylor county who knows how to mortgage cows. The Moutozuma Record knows this man and vouches for him. The man is a fanner, and recently a collector called on him fur the payment ^f a note secured by chattel mortgage.

The farmer was obdurate and gave no satisfaction thai he would ever pay tho note. Finally tho collector said "Well, I'll havo to take tho 11 cows named in the mortgage. "Oh, no, you haven't got a mortgage on 11 cows on this farm." "Why, yes, I have." And the collect|worth or pulled out a copy of the mortgage and read as follows:

on side, one white and red cow, one red

cow with two win to fore feet, one white

cow with red spot on shoulders, one red

cow with white spots on hips, one white

cow spotted with red. Now, how do

you like that.' continued the collector. "Oh, that's all right. I see you've got. 11 mortgages on my old red and white cow. There she is down in the pasture. The boys will go down and help you catch her!"—Atlanta Constitution.

For weeks the cash registers, wliem counted at iio close of the day's business, showed a deficit of several dollars, I and no clew could tie had to explain the mysterious absence of the money.

they will be apart, for Jim was bought by Mr. Hammond, and Wench was knocked down to Mr. Carl, and Uncle Sam's exchequer is richer by $30.50.

No place for sentiment in the quartermaster's department! Of course not, yet "breathes there the man with soul so dead" that he does not believe these two little dumb creatures will miss each t'.ther this night and many a night?

As the sale went on tho teamsters stood on one side like mourners at a comrade's burial on the other, the farmers and ranchmen and contractors and lumbermen from 20 miles around, all there to bid in as cheap as possible tho mules the quartermaster's, department. was done witii. Against the namo ut each mule on the list stood the legend, "Old and worn out. in service."

There were old Rooneyaiul Bevis and Boss and Schaefler and the rest of tho teamsters who have driven and packed these mules over thousands of miles of mountain and prairie. Are they to be laughed at for wearing sad faces now? Yet they bore the ordeal like men good aud true until Jim was led out. Then yon could sire their sleeves, one after another, drawn across their eyes. "This here's awful, boj^s," old Eooiiey remarked. "I can't stand it. I'd rather see the gover'ment bust than see them two mules sold." "You're right, Roonoy," old Bevis spoke. "A gover'ment mean enough to sell tliem two mules ain't fit to stand." But their comments wore stopped by the auctioneer's third and last call on poor little Jim.
