Many experiments have been made, but every effort tending to make this rule work both ways has .provwjj,' to be a failure. :So me timee the rule is wrong both ways. The v following is an example. _ - \ ■■ Some weeks ago, the editor of the Weekly Fire Fly and the preacher of Mt. Joeiah church exchanged place*, not only in a nominal way; hut made an actual transfer of property. We take these extracts from the Fire Fly which appeared after the change had taken plsjtce.

The text says that trains going North arrive at 2 o'clock p.m. This cannot be disputed for it was spoken of by Jeremiah the prophet, saying. « Oh, ye generation of vipers, see advertisement in another column.' Mr Small, though, is not this kind of an editor. Well educated and sincere, his light will illumine dark places, and his charity, like a warm mantle, will cover the shivering limbs of the cold and hungry.— ArkansawTraveler.
