The Burlington Hawkeye gives the following parable as a hint to young men of a pugilistic turn :— " Don't car..'y your pet hobby too far. Take notico of the shoulders and legs of 1. in; n before you sass him. Out here 01: West Hill there is a goal that for thr c long years has butted everything 1 ad everybody the brooding empire i Hurlingfcon could send him. He lie the circus posters before the \aste was dry, and when the advance agent remonstrated, the goat just stood up and crowded the rash man clean through the bill stand. He once upset a happy hay waggon, jammed his head through the end of a wood shed, and flattened Officer Hoefer up against a brick house. And one day last week he wandered down into a saw-mill, and butted the flywheel— only once. When he came down his neck was bent He couldn't make a dent in a sack of meal now. Young men, be content with reasonable victories Some day you, too, may run against a flywheel,"
