From experience7 and observat ion. . Boils are unlike anything else. The reason of 'this is boils arc boils and noining.Glse bat boils. Thev are of different sizes V acceding to lootion, and the disposition of the patient. ' We have, seen them on the head of a fretful ba.;y,- and then they were as large as the babv's headl We doiVfc know the rea- son of this,' bat 'suppose the boils be came trotted by the unpardonable squal ling of the baby and grew large just for spite When you have a' .boil if you will lie down and give it tlie most ele vated position on' the bed it will thump for a little 'while, and then if von will only lie still it; will conclude you are a hard case, and go to sleep. But if it thinks you are awake it will make you sensible of the fact that it is living at your expense. Boils are of different shades of color. " Sometimes .they are blood-red, then they are ready for war. But if you ever see one that is not red, and one that docs' not constantly re mind 3 011 ot its exact -position on jour hody, voir may concl ude that it is some thing else and not a boil. Boils are very ,iuuiccommodating. They never "V1V ftliuivllrtrfl nvonf- Vl-lnvn n fVllrr,o clothes fit tightest. The reason of this is, they love tobe cai-esscd. Boils love company, for where one makes its ap Iearance, others lollow and'tlien " thej hold a. convention to decide how long it must be before they break. Boils are ambitious, inasmuch as each one is de termined, to excel all the Others in the Olympic games that is. jump further than any other boil in the assembly. Men love boils, only Avhen tliey belong to somebody jelse. If you want to be considered as having violated the golden ' rule, just hit your neighbor's boil. A man will go out In the woods and "cuss" his boil for a whole half a day ; but if you only strike it caressingly he is mad and ready to knock you down. WrC have known a man to be one hour, after he retired, trying' to find a place in which to fit his boil. Boils and tight shoes do not agree 'on the same foot; the man . wants to gt the shoe off while the boil wants to get the foot off. The Doctors say .that boils are worth five dollars each to the Doctor or. some one else who has not the boil. If you ever have a boil on your nose, I advise you to keep that nose out pf other peo ples business. Men have great respect, for boils. W'e have known many a man who would sit down on his wife's iash-.ionabler-bonnet, or on his cherished i baby; but who ever saw a sane man that would dare to sit down on his boil? Boils are impetuous and very often odoriferous-. -We will stop tor fearsome one has "already said that we have burst ed our boiler. He walked into our oiik-e." -'lookins: as cold and sad as the. interior department of a cemetery in midwinter. We glance up, and, shuddering, waited anxiously to hear what he might say. He turned his haggard face full upon us, and said : ''Is this where you make newspapers and advertise dead folks ?' . : W'e an swered in the affirmative. Then sail be, "1113' wile is .Heart ana 1 want you to give her a notice not that it will do her an' good ; for she is beyoud tl realm ot the rainbow. .But it Will con sole her friends ; for' they will be glad to hearot her even after death,'sincc she was a' good woman the mother of ten sons, '-.whom she brought up together witn two otner nigger Doys.

We arose from, our scat to but he was gone. One month ago it would have taken only a cart load of sand to have filled tliat hole- near the well now it will take a' cartload, and in one month more there will be at- that place, a young well and next an earthquake.

She sat in the parlor by the. piano and gazed lazily through the window into the kitchen, where she saw her mother ironing her white tucked, frilled, gored, rufhed dress, She turned aside from the scene, and sweetly sang, "What is home without a mother."

LYou see, her Pa had gone to Orange, church, two miles from this place, and the little girl, as most little girls will do, depended too much upon that idea of fruit. The Rev.
