What the mischief do vou suppose voy want with

You re ill have to go to the Stale Legislature about

in fact, It is simply ridiculous Your religious
people there are too feeble in intellect, in morality,
in piety, in ererything, pretty much. Yon had

can't issue slock on a corporation like that or if
rou e-mtld, It would on'y keep you in trouble all
the time. The other denominations would ebnsr

down. Tbey would do with it just as they would
with one of your silrer minor out there Tbey
would try to make all Iho world helicra it was

W'bat is lams ? Fame is an ace ideut. Sir Isaac

a tneial disoorery, truly, and one which a mil
lion wen had made before bitn bat his parents
were influential, and so they tortured that litlle
circumstance into aomething wonderful, and, lo .'
the simple world took up the shout, and in a'most
the twinkling of an rye, that man was famous.
Treasure these thoughts.

Messrs. rl, Waixk, 'I l (lentlrinen :
It is a delicate question about this Indian trail,
but handled with proper deftness and dubiousness,

and onward thence lo Tomahawk, thus making
the route cheaper, easier of access to all who can
get at it, and compassing all the desirable objests
so oonsidui-ed by oiners, and, therobire, conferring
