RAM'S HORN BLASTS.

WanlßK Note* Calling: the Wleke* to Repentance.

Had Lincoln had a nabob for his father, he might not have traveled any farther along on the road to fame than the first shade tree. Shoe pegs have done as much for the world as telegraph poles.

The first step in well doing Is to stop wrong doing. There has probably never been a lion that some mouse did not criticise. You can’t tell much about the size of the man in the grave by the size of the tombstone. Some people think they are nearer heaven than other folks, because they were born upstairs. Many a man misses the bullseye because he Is not even snapping a cap in trying to hit it. When the bra-mble put on its crown and set up for king, it was probably looking straight at a little pigweed. Appearances are always deceiving, and that Is why Satan is still doing a fairly good business as a roaring lion. No -man ever lost his place In the procession that is moving toward the persimmon tree by discovering !his own insignificance. The difference between a wise man and a fool Is that the wise man did his thinking yesterday, and the fool puts his off until day after to-morrow.
