" An honest lean is the noblest work ov God;" this fanrus saying was writ- ten, in grate anguish ov harte, by the Alexander Pope, just after baying a - good family boss. VERBAL Vioe.—Induigenee in verbal vice soon encourages corresponding, vices in conduct. Let any one of you come to a familiar tone, and do you suppose, when the opportunity occurs for commiting the mean or vile act, he will be as strong against it as before 2 It is by no means an unknown thing that /nen of`correct lives talk themselves into sensuality, crime and perdition. Bad language easily runs into bad deeds. Select any iniquity you Please ; suffer yourself to converse in a dialect, to use slang, to speak in the character of one who relishes :it,. anal need not tell how'sooe your sense will lower down to its level. Becoming intimate, with it, you lose your horror of it. To. be toomuch mush xith bad men . i and ie bad places, is not only unwholesome to a man's morality, but unfavorable to ,his faith and trust in God, It is not eery man who could live as Lot did itt Sod- om, and then be fit to go out of it un- der God's convoy. This obvious prin- ciple of itself, furnishes a reason not only for watching the tongue, but for keeping ourselves as much as possible out of bad company` of bad associate, "Beek-biters—fleas. What animals aro often seen at funerals? Black kids. A depraved punster says he shall sniok&if he chews too.

Monday, Jackson, bliss,, was unnsu- ;ally excited by the exhibition in the Courier -Herold' office of a hand of wood which grew out of a grave iu Yorkville, Gibson county. 1t was brought into our office by Capt. G. S. Andrews,, of that county, who gaye us its history. A abrin named William. Herron was walk- ing with his wife one Sunday evening ,not long since, ancl, in passing an old l'leglected graveyard tear the public :read, she saw a gust bush with a hunch hof mistletoe on its top, and requested her hasba.tnd to get it for her, He went and out the top off the bush, and colunienoed breaking off the mistletoe, when to his surprise and terror he dis- cocered that the wood underneath pre- sented' the, perfect foam of a hums n Hand. Capt. 'Andrews, hearing of the wonderful discovery, Went to the house 'of Mr. 13erron,.who, feeling rather uu ;comfortable over the thought' that he tilt it from a grave, :and perhaps hav- ing some theory as to its supernatural ;signifieauee, very willingly let Captait' Andrews have it. There are citizens oft this city to whom beth Carat. Andrews sand Mr. Herron are known„ and they are vonehcd for as trutiiful men,' but `the hand itself is proof enough of the truth of their• statement concerning its growth on a bush. The bush from tallith it was cut was six feet high, and the hand: was on the top, pointing ur- ward, presenting the position of the. tniuister's handsn' •1 1 tis le llouoall Ong the benediction. It v � as about Oe size of L six-year cad child's s l ani, With ton g. slender fingers like those of a person very rnech emaciated by sickness. The 'Wood has enlarged formations on each finger and the thumb,. representing or eorrespondiug with the joints ou the human hand. The most remarkable feature about it is the natural appear- ance. of the nails. They had a kind of flesh color, and the balance of the hand whore the bark had beenentirely re- moved, looks ghastly. white. The' first impression it makes upon you is the same experience in handling a skeleton' and a large majority of those who see it `regard it with the same subdued, 'half -superstitious awe inspired by the presence of a corpse. Mr. Andrews says the glove from' which it was Out supposed to be the grave of a very de- vout Methodist minister by the name of Buteaer, who was buried there many years ago. 1Row to carry an Ox to Market. This is from a correspondent at Ri- viere du Loup, Canada : When the Grand '1'rnnk Railway of Canada was 'completed in 1860, many of the farmers had never heard -of; much less seen, a railway, but it soon got reported around' that: -passengers could travel by it, and even cattle. A backwood.smau who was indebted to a country merchant was pushed by the latter for payment of the amount due, and the only means of liquidating the debt was taking a fat ox to the Quebec snarl -et, For this purpose- he tied his ox to the back of his cart and drove to the railway station, a distance of nine iniles. On surveying the train, and seeing an iron railing around the .elitt- foh m of the hind car, he concluded that that was the place to tie his ox, which be accordingly diel, taking a place in a second class car himself forward. Pre- sently the train began to move slowly. The speed increased; quicker and quick- er and quicker it went. The poor man got very fidgety, Yr the speed ser stir1 increas- ing until large drops of sweat became visible on his brow. By this time the conductor hadreached this car to col- lect the tickets. Nearly out of breath, the plan ran to him, exclaiming : "IV1y dear conductor, lily ox will ne- ver be able to keep up this pace ; it is not possible," Your. ox Keep up this pace 1 What do you nreltn ? I don't under- stand you. Have you oxen on board?" "Not on board, of course, I tied him to the railing of the hind car." " You tied your ox to the railing of the hind car ? Who told you to do so ?" " No one ; but that is the way eve al- ways do in the country, Of course the conductor could not stop his train' before reaching the next station, when, needless to say, on look. ing n„ for the ox, they found attached to the rope a pair of horns, with a small portion of the neck. Mr. Bergh could scarcely call this cruelty to animals, as it was not 'ing tended, ' The humane conductor .made a col. lection among the passengers on the spot, realizing a larger amount than the "ox would ,have brought at the mar- het; which leo presented to the crest• fallen farmer, who immediately rettlrn- ed house, vowipg he would never have oe xlltake n to the market byrailtva s,gaith.
