Conscience is too often the butler in a home of policy. ,; When the “ghost" walks, the printer and his best girl ride. Many people never see the points in the fork at the end of the road. ’ It seems impossible for an embalmer ever to put life into his subject.

He is merely resting his voice and his heels for chaos later on. *»>• A barrel of sentiment is not so great as a little lift to a poor woman carrying a heavy basket. A New Y’orker found a diamond in his hash the other day. We found a hair in ours once. The buoyancy of a glass of effervescing spirits is all on top.
