A good story is told of a couple of youg
men in Robinson township, who recently
played a successful game of " diamond cut
diamond.” A few days ago, Mr. £ ,
who is very fond of a joke, visited the
house of Mr. H , a professional gen*
tleman not a hundred mile from the
Washington pike, and after chatting a
short time, he took him aside to commu
nicate something very important. With
a fair show of diffidence, Mr. E in
formed Mr. H -that he was going to
be married on a certain evening, to Miss
Jane A-—, the daughter of a well known
farmer in the vicinity, and that he had
come over to invite him to act in- the ca
pacity of groomsman. Mr. H——was
highly delighted in view of the interes
ting occasion, and was particularly grati
fied in finding himself honored with the
proud position of second best.” Mr/
E desired the whole matter to he kept
a profound neeiet, as he had concluded to
take certain parties by surprise. Mr.
H-—-pledged Ins most scored honor that
he would hot breathe it to any Human be
ing. With this understanding the two

The girl* knew nothing of the joke, and,
of course, could not help him out of hi*
dilema. After excusing w heat
he could—without giving any satisfaotorv
reason for his visit—Mr. —-took h«
departure, no doubt leaving the impres
sion upon the mind of Miss Jennie, that
perhaps he had an affection for her.
“ Ba <% sold,” said Mr. H -, to him
self, as he left for home. “ But I’ll give
Mr. E a Boland for bis Oliver.”
The plan was soon laid and we will
briefly relate how it was carried out. Mr.
H had a friend, Dr. S , a practi
ses physician in the neighborhood, and
after relating to him the “sell,” thev
agreed upon the following:
Dr. S——-had in anticipation u a party/*
to which doctors are always invited. It
was to Come off at the house of a lady in
the neighborhood, and the Doctor was to
, Mr ' H of the precise day.—
When the “tune was up,” the doctor was
notified, and so was Mr. H . lie
latter, through a confident, informed his
joking friend E that there was to be
a “surprise party” that evening at the
house of Mrs. j that quite a large
number of ladies and gentlemen had been
invited j that they would all assemble, as
near as possible, at eight o’clock in the
evening, and that they anticipated lots of
fun, as the family knew nothing of the
j lr ‘ ?* r ‘ —was in, heartand hand,
Md at tne appointed hour, he was dressed
from “top to toe.” After reaching the
house, he was ushered in by a young lady,
whom he knew very well, and who was
also let into the secret, (she was there in
the capacity of « nurse,” if occasion should
require it.} Mr. E thought he smelt
the very largest kind of a mice , but when
he was invited by the lady to Step into
the next room, he could not act so ungal
lantly as to refuse. So in he went—
i j re t beheld—well, he has not yet
told all he ..did see—and he might have
seen a good deal more if ho had not cut
his visit exceedingly short, and deter
mined never to attend another “surprise
party." ,
The double joke, so cleverly planned
and so successfully executed, has Created
an immense deal of gossip in the neigh
borhood —and whenever a hearty laugh is
desirable, Mr. H-—’s « wedding,” and
Mr. E ’s “ party” are sure to afford
the necessary material 7
An Elegant Extract.^ — u Generation
after generation,” says a fine writer, “ have
felt as we feel now, and their lives were as
active as our own. They passed away
like a vapor, while nature wore the same
aspect of beauty as when her Creator com
manded her to be. The heavens be
as bright over our graves as they now are
around our paths. The world shall have
the same attractions for our offsprings yet
unborn that she had once for our children.
Yet a little while and all this will be still
ed, and we shall be at rest. Our funeral
wul find its way, and the prayers will be
said, and our mends will all return, and
shall all he left behind in silence npd
darkness for the worms. And it may be
for a short time we shall be spoken of, but
things of life will creep in and our names
soon be forgotten. Da>s will continue to
move on, and laughter and song will be
heard in the room in which we died; and
the eye that mourned for us will be dried,
and glisten again with joy, and even our
children will cease to think of us, and
will not remember to lisp our ntunes.-
Then we shall have become, in the touch
ing language of the Psalmist, "forgotten
and clean gone out of mind.”
When Death Comes. —Death comes
at morn, when the sun is juat'rising in the
east; at noon, when its rays are most re
splendent ; at eve, when it gradually sinks
beneath the horizon; at midnight when it
is entirely hidden from view. It comes to
the babe just commencing to prattie; it
comes to the man of middle age, when the
connecting links binding us . to life are
most strong; it oomds to the aged man
with trembling limbs and faded eye tight,
led along by others; it oomesto the poor,
struggling to obtain a meagre sustenance;
it comes to the man in comfortable cir
cumstances, by whom life is heist employed;
it comes to the wealthy, rolling im afflu
ence and ease; it comes to the motlatigh
ingat his own folly; it comes to the man of
just sense enough to pass through life
easily; it comes to the educated mauglo
jying in his Cicero and Homer; it comes
to the Christian who looks upon it only as a
hap; >ier land. Reader these words are
spoken to you. Will you heed them t
