Righteousness. 
BY WILLIAM F. KIRK. 
I met a wise old fisherman, who sat in a boat 
And argued with me thusly as he calmly watched his float: 
“Old Deacon Flint was telling me, ’twas jest the other 
day, 
That fishing on the Sabbath wasn’t good and wouldn’t 
pay. 
He said it wasn’t righteous; that I orter be ashamed; 
That when the Jedgement Day came ’round us sinners 
would be blamed. 
I never done no man no harm, ner posed to be a saint, 
And I guess that I ain’t righteous if the Deacon says 
I ain’t. 
“The Deacon, he is righteous, but he does some funny 
things; 
.Leastwise, his acts seem funny to us fellers without 
wings. 
He turned the Haskins out o’ doors last Winter when 
twas cold. 
And trimmed old Widow Jenkins when her property was 
sold. 
Me and the Missus took her in; it sure was nasty 
weather; „ 
So I keep fishing Sundays jest to keep both ends to¬ 
gether. 
1 he more I size up Deacon Flint, the more I sorter 
guess 
If folks would just do right we wou’dn’t need no 
righteousness.”

MEMOIRS AND REMARKS OF A RETIRED 
HUNTING ARROW. 
Continued from page 515. 
acquainted with them, he will take no chances 
with them. However, that does not mean that 
he will not shoot at anything unless it is out in 
plain open field. On the contrary, he has had 
six or eight of us lying around in tall grass and 
briers at one time, when rabbits were especially 
thick, but each arrow was carefully marked, and 
recovered at leisure. This art can’t be learned 
from books, but only comes to the archer after 
long practice. 
The archer after climbing a number of 
dangerous trees, decided it was not proper to 
shoot broadheads at an object where the arrow 
had to go up or come down through heavy tim¬ 
ber, and he thereafter used blunt arrows for 
squirrels, pecker-woods and other denizens of the 
tall timber. A broadhead arrow shot from a 
fifty-pound long bow is right difficult to extract 
from a tree or post. 
Squirrel shooting with light weight blunt 
arrows is fine sport when the leaves are off the 
trees, and when you can force the squirrel to 
take to a tall tree, and he climbs up to the 
highest twig. They will do this very often on 
mountainside or where the timber is tall, but if 
jumped on mountain top or where timber is low 
he usually keeps running until he reaches his 
hole, and then you may wish that you had a 
No. io shotgun. However, if he seeks refuge
