Paul was a better trnmpeter than ten thousaijj-1 others, and yet he saith: “1 am nothing.” The smoke, a dusty and obscure vapor, climbs up into the light, rising alxive the pure air around it. Many exalt themselves above their brethern, for gifts and outward things, which are the trapping, and make not the difference be tween man and man ; !md if a man were the taller because lie stood on a hill, or a man had a better body because he had a better suit on, he is the same man still. — We are not to be proud even of our graces, much less of outward things.— Preston. An Old Lady’s Advice to heb Son.— “Now, John, listen to me—l’m older than you, or I could’nt be your mother. Never do you marry a young woman, be fore you have contrived to happen to be around four or five times before breakfast. You should know how late she lies in bed in the morning. You should take notice whether her complexion Is the same in the morning as in the evening, or whether the wash, and towel have robbed ter of her evening bloom. You should take care to surprise her, so that you may see her in her morning dress!, and observe how her hair looks when she is not expecting you. If possible, you should be where you can hear the morning conversation between her and her mother. If she is ill-natured and snappish to her mother, so she will be to you, depend on it. But if you find her up and dressed neatly fn the morning, with the same smiles, the neatly combed hair, the same ready and pleasant answers to, her mother, which characterized her de portment in the evening, and particularly if she is lending a hand to get the brakfast in good season, she is a prize, John, and the sooner you secure her to yourself, the better.” : A Funny Mistake. —One negro, slum bering with his feet pointing to a glim mering fife. Opens one eye, and gets a glimpse of them, as they (stand up in the obscurity. Mistakes them for two little negroes, and cries; ‘Gif fum ’fore mel* and relapses into sleep. After a while, opens the! other eye, and still seeing the in truders, says: ‘Gif fum ’fore me, I say,; I kitk you in de fire if yon don’t; 1 Will, shu’ —’ and again he snores. His dreams not being pleasant, lie soon opens both eyes, and still seetfig the little pests,! he draws up his foot for the threatened kick, but is alarmed to see the enemy advance upon him, and exclaims: ‘Wha, where you cornin’ to, now? Humph!' my own foot, by golly !” “ mister, give me a bundle of hay ?” : ! . “ Yes, my son. ■ Sixpence or shilling bundle ; . . “Shilling.” ; “Is it for your lather ?” ’ i “ No, guess ’taint —its for the boss, nay father don't eat hay |&“Thc quota of Kansas Is officially stated at 1,656. . k Sutherland, who baa been on trial at In* dianapolis Ibr'four dayß roFfllling'BSddy : A. Small, was acquitted on Thon&y.— His wife andthree children’ were in COurt : at the time. After the announcement of the verdict there followed a sceac says the Indianapolis J wnui, not often witnessed .in a court rootn. - SW pViiQMf ; ' thftt wfts —a prisoner npw ; no longer—fell upon his knees, and lifting his eyes toward heaven, uttered an earnest prayer of thanksgiving and praise to the God, whose justice and mercy had been so wonderfully manifested in him. The prayer was irresistibly , elo quent, and when Amen was pronounced. Amen came back in response from every part of the room, and there were tears in. every eye. All rose to their feet; the ac quitted man advanced and took each j un man by the hand with a fervent “God bless you! You have saved an innocent man from shame and disgrace ; you have taken a foul stain from my name.' God bless you!” And to the prosecutor, whose conduct in the case commands admiration from all for fairness and honesty, he gave a cordial “God bless you!” The old white haired father, whose firm trust had sup ported the son in the darkest hours of trial, now melted in fears of joy that his boy was acquitted of guilt, and his own: good name remained untarnished. The J udge, wiping his eyes of the tears that had come unbid den, ordered the Sheriff to adjourn the court. ' Lyceum Eloquence.— Bill Smith, a character in more ways than one, and especially noted for his flights of eloquence, spoke as follows upon the question: “Which is man’s greatest safeguard—the dog, or the gun?” j He espoused the cause of the dog, and after pronouncing an affecting eulogy upon that noble animttl,"he demolished his ad versaries and brought down the house by the following passage: “Soppsin’, for a tjtomentary moment, Mr. President, that you, sir, was travling, and suppose, sir, that night was to over take you, and you should have to camp in some dark howlin wilderness! And, in the black midnight, when yon laid fast asleep in the arms of Metamorpheous, a bar, painter, or other venomous inseck was to spring upon, what good would our gun do you then! And, Mr.'President, your dbg would have said by his forewarnin’ lamentations: ‘ ‘Take keer I look out! he’s a comm!” 1 F amily Records.- —The post office in a town in Dixie, was kept in the bar-room of a tavern a great resort for loungers. An old chap more remarkable for his coarse ness and fidelity than for -hie manners, was sitting there one day with a lot of hie boon companions, when the Methodist minister, a new comer, entered and asked for letters. Old Swipes spoke np bluntly. “Are you the Methodist parson, just come here to preach?”' “I am,” pleasantly- replied the minister. “Well,” said Swipes, “will you. tell ,me how old the devil is?” ' ■ “Keep your own family record,” replied the minister, and left the bouse amid the roar of the company. A Noble Fellow. —‘ln the great battle of Gettysburg, the color sergt of the Six teenth Vermont fell mortally wounded. At once a doxen men rushed up to seize the colors and bear them forward. The poor wounded sergeant grasped the staff with both his clenched hands; his eyes were already dimmed with death ; he Could not see who it was that tried to wrest his -charge from him, “Are you friends or enemies ?” he cried out. “We are friends, : was the reply, “give us the colors.” “Then, friends,” said he,“l am mortally wounded; let me hold up the flag till I die”—so say ing; he fell back dead. Surely, a nobler ; soldier than this poor fellow never lived. O' Wealth is not acquired, aj many persons suppose, by fortunate, speculations : and splendid enterprises, but by the daily practice of-industry, frugality, and econ omy. He who relies upon these means will rarely be found destitute and whosoever ■relies upon any other will generally become bankrupt. “I wish you would not smoke cigars!” saida plump little black eyedgirl to her lover. . - “ Why not smoke as well as ypur chim ney?” ' “Because chimneys don’t smoke lyhen' they are in good order.” He has quit smoking. tSeg“ We heard a good story the o#ier bight of two persons engaged in. a duel. At the first fire, one of the seconds propoed that they should hands and make up, The.other second sauThesawnopar ticular necessity for that, for their hands had been shaking ever since they began! ’ • ' ■" - ■'■-.w' ; Or Never trouble trouble, until trouble troubles you ; tor trouble unmet is often fid.trouble at all. 1 ' V Olfl 4 N0:42.
