POTATO HILL PHILOSOPHY.

It Is as easy to be unfair as it Is Important that you should not be. A lie about an enemy is a lie as surely as a lie about a friend, but many people don’t think so. When a young man studies law that isn't the worst of It; the worst of it Is the country not only gets another lawyer, but another politician. Some men drift and drift, and if they miss thier port drift Into a better one. It isn’t that way with me; if I miss my port I go on the rocks. I never had a dollar that was worth, more than 80 or 90 cents. People do not seem to venerate freedom as-much as they formerly did. Several states have prohibited the sale and manufacture of llouor, that weak men may not be free to make fools of themselves. And occasionally a bold man asks why some of the other habits of fools jus not prohibited.—E. W. Howe's Monthly. 1
