Suinmcrbill Twp., Xov. 1, laT'.-at.- WHAT TI1K (IIOIU SA.M1 ABOUT THE BONXET. A foolish little mauleu bovglit a foolish lit tle iHinnet, AVith a riblKin, and a feather, an.V a bit of lace upon it ; A Mil that the other maidens of the little town might know it, She thought nhe'tl go to meeting the" next Sunday jnst to show it. lint though the little bonnet was scarce favg- er 1 ban a dime, The geillnj; of it settled proved to le a work of lime ; So when 'twas fairly tied all the bells had stopped their riuging, And wheu she t ame to meeting, sure enough the folks were singing. So this foolish little maiden stood and wait ed at the door ; A.id she shook her ruffles out behind, and smoothed them down before. "Hallelujah! hallelujah!" sang the choir above her head "Hardly knew you ! hardly knew yon !' were the words she thought they a;l. ( Ibis made the little m:iden rent cross. feel so very, Thai she gave her li: tie moulh a twis;, hur liitle head a toss ; For she thought the very hymn they sang was all about her bonnet, , "Willi the ribbon, and the feather, mil the bit of lace upon it. And she would not wait to listen to the ser I mon or the prayer, IJi't paltered down the silent street and hur ! ricd up the stair, I Till she reached her livtle bureau, and in a ; baud-box on it Had hidden safe f.-oni critic's eye her fool ish little bonnet. Which proves, my little maidens, that each of you wilt find In every Sabbath service but au echo of your mind ; And that the l.ttle head that's filled with silly little airs "Will never get a blessing from the Wrmoua or iVom prayers. sixnii), Titn SAiLon. BY TIIE "FAT t OXTEICCTOn.'' Pinbad, lie sailor, was bom in Bagxlad nbojt die year , and it is singular how many poopie of whom we read were bom about ilit! same year. Ilis: falher was a bag-man a bag-dud if youtviH that isto say, a diiininiei" for a haidware house, lie at lengih di pirmf d up quite a foil lino, a'ld hen fcjinbad went to work to Fpond it. Having bagged nearly every other man of mean in I.agdad, lie iried to bag his dad, which was a.i exceedingly bad siu on the part of Sinbad. Young man, let 'his lie a lesson to yon. "Deal" your old g'and-father, don't spare a maiden aunt who has duc.ils, go for a l icli uiH-le. but don't Ihtg-dad ! Suddenly recollecting liim.seif when his fiber's money was spent, and filled with remorse because ihevc wasn't any hi ore of i SWibad went (o sea (how it washim self). One day as (hey were sailirg pleas antly along, making about a knot an hour, wbch was knot an hour too much cou- s'.denng Hie exjiense they v.crc at, tliey werc suddenly becalmed close to a g-'-een island, as they supposed, liecnuse noth'iig but an exceedingly green island would be caught out in the wide ocean so far from lap.d. The captain ordered ihe sail;; to be furled, and allowed the sailo.s logo ashore and "gambol on the green," asthey hadn't seen a faro bank since they left home, and wou'd not, probably, until I hey came to tl.e Eanlis of New Fonndland. No sooner had they landed, howevc-, ':n ihe supiMised island began to tiemble and shake violently, as i hough it had ac cidentally swallowed an earthquake and it had gone down Ihe wrong way. The capta'u shouted to them to re-imbark, as wh;it ihey had ta'-cen for an island was only the back of a prod'gious lish. It was scaly Inisiness staying there, so they jumjK?d into the sea and swam to the ship. Sinbad. who stojijied to sec if there was anything about that lish to "hook," was carried down as the monster dove into Ihe sea. lie came up aga;n, h iwever, for Sinbad was a man who couldn't be kept under, and by means of a spar bo found floatirg on the water he was enabled to sustain himself until, at lenglh, he made land, which was the first thing he had made since he left Ii;.gdad. Looking about carefully to satisfy him self .hat there wasn't anylhing fishy about that island, he proceeded toward the inte rior, and fell into (he hands or some men ', who proved to be servants of the king of the island. 1 hey took him to iheir niasterwho enriched him and sent him home by the j fi i-st Bagdad steamer that touched there. , Sinbad got home with ten thousand se ; quins, which fully justified him in going j abroad, and afforded a fine stquence to his ' adventures. j He then thought he would settle at home, br.t he found so many debts at home to settle that he. changed his mind and went , to sea again. Islands seem to have been the bane of Srnbad s life. He was continually getting I left on some island. And how often have 1 we seen our friends "get left" on lle-aml-so-forth. On this, his second voyage, he I visited an island with his shipmates, went ; to sleep in a charming grove, and awoke in J time to see his ship sailing away, which j seems to have been a way his ships had of ' sailing. j Knowing by former experience how use less it was to repine, he sat about examin ing bis island home, lie came upon a ' large white body about the size of a two- story house in a good neighborhotid, fur nished or unfurnished, lie tried to climb it but couldn't, climbing being unknown in that clime. Suddenly the sky became dark, and looking up he saw an immense bird preparing to settle, (something, by le wav, he was never prepared to do.) lie then knew the bird was a roc,' and the smooth, white object as big as a house was a roc egg. Placing his back against the egg, he drew his jack-knife aud waved it wifh a theatrical air around his head, ex claiming - Come on coiue all ! this roc shall fly From her guose-eg as soon as X. The hhd alighted, without paying any attention to Siubad or his jack-knife, and Silt on the egg, as little George Washington went at the cherry tree, to hatch it. Sinbad thought of a capital plan for o-ctting away from this island. He tied himself to the leg of the roc, and when she got tired of sitting she took wing aud took Sinbad, too. . .' Sinbad declared afterward, he was never so carried away with a biid in hislife. Ho was so tickled to cscai-e from the island that he nearly split with laughter. If he had, that bird would have been spoken of I by his son owing friends as "the roc on j which he split." ! Wheu Ihe bird alighted Sinbad hurriedly ! untied the knot and she flew away again, 1 including in her bill a large serpeni. Sin bad was terribly alarmed to find himself (it was bad enough to slay in such a place without being coiuiielled to "find himself") in a deep valley peopled mainly by ser pents. lie thought at first he had been drinking hard, but immediately recollecting that it Mas the easiest thing in ihe world for him to di'-uk. lie knew vhose snakes were not conlincd to his boots. They kept him awake all night, a.id nearly hissed him off the s.ige, a calamity that never befell Ly dia Thompson when she played the char acl er. When daylight appea.cd ihe snakes ieired, out of deference to the roc, who was still hovering a.ouud. Sinbad dis covered that the valley was knee deep with diamonds. He tried to get a way with ihe biggest of .hem t he ace of diamonds, as ore might say but he wasn't the trump to take it. t He laid down to sleep, but was awakened by a great piece of meat f; lling close to h;iu. (This he considered the most re markable event hi his travels, as meat is constancy going up, and never falls.) He saw other pieces falliug, and i hen he re collected the stories he had lead about the ' valley of diamonds aIihoii2h he knew very hjile about ihe valley of -diamonds himself how lnercliams, in order to get, these diamonds, 1 hiew huge pieces of meat down into the valley, into which the dia monds became imbedded. '1 hen, when the eagles convey these pieces of meat to their nesfs to feed their yoppg, ihe. mer chants frighten away the old biid and the diamonds become their meat. Sometimes an eagle ($10) is worih $10,000 in dia monds. If an eaglet had any sense at all, after accumulating such a line nest-egg as that, we should see Mr. l!ag-let it out at good interest, retiring from business on a coipjietepcy. Siubad wanted to get away that is, he wauled to get away w iih as many diamonds as he could so he filled his pockets wi h a precious cargo, and, lying down on i.l face, an eagle came along, picked him p by the seat of his irowsers. and bnand away to her nest, affording him a view of ihe outspreading country lie could not oth erwise ob'ain. The me:ehri:fs were on br.nd as usual for ibeir dollar jewelry, and S; u bad was released on his deiosiiing his diamonds a-s colla'end. Space will not allow us to follow Si ibad in his adven: tires, lie mpde s;x voyages in all. resuming home with more wealth r. id b'::ger stories. He tells elxint rinding il;e cr in 'hor tree, which had only to be t.tppett to nil every "emii.o ' oolrle in c:c:i.ion. We have been tov.-.i", and heard l.Mny big ya' ns told about - lie camp fire, but -be yams Sinbad . teVs about that "cani'lire" beais all we ever hea'-d. . He fell into the handsof ai.i.it one day, a tremendous black fellow as high as a tall palm tree. He had one eye in iheceuire of his head, teeth like those in a two-horse d ag, and ten-penny na'ls on his fingers. He desired to have Sinbad cooked for din ner, but considering him too lean turned him out to pasture awhile, which gave Sin bad an opportunity io Iran for home. Most eople are fam'l'ar with Sinbad's adventure with "The Old Man of the Sea." lie has been referred to occasionally by writers and speakers. He wasn't a very good figure, but ho has been used a good many times as a figure of speech. Siubad met him in one of his wanderings among unknown lands,-and the old gentleman, who appealed feeble, asked to iide on his shoulders.

One Too Many. At a watering place a few weeks since, one of ihe boarders, a young lawjer who had a room on the low er lltior opening on to the porch, was treat ed to a conversation usually intended for the ears of only one. Soon after he hrd ret ired for the "night, chairs were moved on the porch ouLsido his window, and directly he heard voices low, but. earnest j voices principally a man's voice, and as 1 lie waimed to his subject it grew so loud i that our friend was not only kept awake ; but could not avoid hearing what was said, j The young man was pouring forth the tale of his admiration his ardent love, as ; steadfast as the polar star, as fixed as ada mant. She seemed to like it very well, but didn't pay yea or nay. So t he adorer went tn in the same strain he happy that she would li? ten, she happy that he would siieak. This contiu..ed from twelve till two in the wee hours when the fair one made a move. The wretched si-oon begged that she would tell him his fate then and there, but she would not. At last she said, "I w'dl tell you at nine in the morning." Iniajrine their honor and surprise as a wild cry came from the sleepless lawyer's i room : "For God's sake don't come b;ick before ten, aud I will be on baud to hear the rcst.

No sir '.-.Max Adder, TllK XKW liKrAllTMKST ix BY 31 AX ADEI.EE ! . I .1. Alfred Brimmer, Esq, editor and proprietor of TU Morning Glory,, having observed the disposition of persons who have been bereaved of their relatives to give expression to their feelings ia a ioet- lcalfoim, reflected that it imght perhaps 1 be a good thing to introduce in his paper a department of obil ua.y pxmfery. He con- j sidered whe:her if, when an individual in serted fifiy cents' worth of death uotice,- i the establishment should consider eralui- nmsiy uan a aonar's wui tU ol mortality stanzsyv his paper would not at once bo coine the most popular vehicle for tb6 con veyance of that peculiar form of melan choly rntelligence to the public. And Mr. Brimmer rigidly estimated that, as most newspaper readers-wem to take a deeper interest in such sepulchral news than in informatian of any other kind, the journal containing the bvrgest supply would have the greatest uumber of subscribers. So Mr. Brimmer determined that he would, as an experiment at any rale, en- ' gage an obituary poet for a short time, wi. h the purpose of giving- him permanent i employment if the plan seemed to take with Uie public. Accordingly he sent for ; Mr.- lieuiingion Ott, a const ructor of verses, ' who had frequently contributed to the col- ! whips of The Morniwj Glry poems of what would have been considered by a fas tidious student of English literature of an , appalling and revolutionary character. I Miv Brimmer soon effected au engage- ment with the baid, by which it was agreed that Mr. Ott should take a position mi the olhce for a short time, and whenever a death-notice at rived he should immediate- . ly endeavor to gihid out some verses ex- . pressive of ihe situation. i "lou understand, Mr. Ott," explained ' Brimmer, "Jiat when the death of an in- , dividual is announced, I want you, as it ' were, to cheer the atflic:d family w ith the ; j resources of your noble art. I wioh you to throw yourself, you may say, into their situatiou, and to give them a verse or two ' alxmt the corpse which will seem to be the expression of the emotion of Ihu hearts of the living." j ''To lighten the gloom, m a certain : sense. I suppose'.'" sr.id Mr. O't. j I "Precisely 1 Lighten the gloom. Do ; notinotuu over the departed; bnt rather take a joyous view of deaiii, which after j all, Mr. Oit, is, as it were, but the en- i I trance to a belter life. Therefore, I will j advise yon to touch the heart-strings of the aitlicted with a tender hand, aud endeavor, for instance, to divert their minds f;om contemplation of the hoi ro.sof the tomb." j "I'll tiirow cll'sia-isfcis" said Mr. , Ott. "in siu a a uianjcr iliat peop'e will watu tuea L lends die for ihe sake of the jxietry." ' "But above all," continued the editor, "if t.e a hi ight view of the matter r.lways. I Make the sunshine of smiles, as ii, were, i buist through the tempest of tears; ami, if we don't make The Morning Glurg hum around among the mourners of this town, my name is not Brimmer." j He was right. It did hum. . j 1 lie next day Bemi.-gtoii Ott went on du y, and Brimmer ran down to ihe sea shore for a breath of fresh air. All thro' ; ihe day deaih-noticcs came pouring in, aud, when one would reach Oit, he would seize it aud study it up to ascertain the particu lars.

When his day's work was done, OU went home wiih a conviction that The Morning Glory had finally robbed death of its terrors, aid made life comparatively valueless. In tho morning Mr. Ott proceeded calmly to the oftice for the purpose of embalming in sympathetic ve.'-se the memories of other departed ones. As be cane near to the establishment he observed a crowd of live or six thousand people in front of it, slrug , gling to get into the door. Climbiug a tree, he overlooked the crowd, a;:d "could see within the office the clerks sellin-r pa pers as fa.-t as they could handle llieni, while the mob pushed aud jammed and yelled in frani-ic efforts to obtain copies the presses in the meanwhile clanging away like mad. Upon the cuibsLoue in front of him there was a line of men streichiag down the street for fo;;r squares, each man engaged in reading Tus Morning Glfru with an earnestness that Mr. Ott had never before seen displayed by the duUous of that sheet. j He went around to the back of the office and ascended to the editorial rooms. As ! he approached Ihe siauclunt, loud voices I were heard wiihiu. Mr. Ott deiei mined 1 , to a .certain ihe cause before entei ing. He i obtained a chair, and. placing it by the j side dooi, he mounted and peeped over the door through' the transom. There sat J. ' Alfred Brimmer 'holding The Morning Glory in both hands while the fringe ' which grew in a semi-circle around the edge of his bald head stood straight out, until he seemed to resemble a gigantic -' gun-swab. Two or three persons stood in fiont of him in threatening attitudes. Ott heard one of them say : "My name isMcGIue, sir ! William Mc- Glue !

I he man in Camden who read Dr. Kitchener's reei'ie for scaring off a savage dog, is convinced i now that the theory will not hold rotxl in practice. Kitcheners inslmc-ions were: "Put your head down, look lietween your legs, and rufh at the infuriated animal backward." This man in Camden got over his neighbor's fence and arranged himself according to instructions. He then bncke.1 nr tnn-aol Lb niylil doe; n fi ll a series of jeiks. If I)i. Kitchener had been present he would have been convinced that ihe dog was not scared. It approach ed the man with velocity and sieved his nose with tenacity.

As Ihey were opp-site the pasture of Mr. Kinney, Parks said to his comrade, "You hold my coat if you want to see some fun." Whereupon Parks got over the fence into the pasture, and getting down upon all fours, proceeded toward a two year old bull for the purpose of fright ening him.

J'ff Gardening. The "Fat Conti ilmU.r" say ; We have recently moved into anew bouse, aud yes terday morning my wife. Mrs. lioggs, asked ine if I thought I could get the roses for the front yard. Told her I knew a man who had got a lot of early rose potatoes, but it wasn't the l ight time of year for put ting them out. (1 have au idea that ground j is much belter employed in raising a pota to than in raisin z flower, unless it be a i barrel of llour.) Wife said I hadn't a bit of taste. She then gave mca memoran dum of roses she wanted. I was busy all day, but just as I was alout taking a car i for home, I thought ,of t lie roses. I referred to the memoraudi memoranda aud found the following: "Ciet a few geraniums, fusthias, helio fropes, roses, bourbon, miming rose, 'I'rai rie Clueen,' golden tea-plant, vines, Eng lish Ivy,' andeving Jew, seeds, etc." I studied it bard, but it was sliiditly in comprehensible. She bad evidently got thirtgs mixed up. However, I wentto a florist's aud told liim w hat I wanted. Said I : "Give me a few geraniums, and a few shes, ami " "A few what?" asked the flower-man, looking puzzled. "A few she," said I turning very red, I know, for I couldn't tell for the life of fire what my wife wanted of a few "shes" about the place, as she could never live in j the same house with another woman, j As the lloi ist looked more staggered than I ever, 1 handed him the memorandum, -when ! be burst into a loud laugh. Why man," he cried, "it sfuschias 6h wants?"' And then roared again. "Well, whatever it is, give me a couple of yards of it anyhow, front atwl back yard, too." Yoti see I was mad.- I got the things the memorandum seemed to ca'l for, at the various places, and went home. "Here, Mrs. Boggs," said I, testily "aro the things for your front yard." "Why, what is this?" she cried, as I thrust a two-gallon jug upon her among o( her thiAgs.- "Bouibou, nay dear, I found it on tha memorandum. Pretty things to set out in the front yard, though. How long d j you s'pose it'll stay there, with the neighbors we've got ?" "Boggs you are a fool. That item was a 'Com bon Hose.' But what is this nasty little book?" holding up a dime novel, with a Iiigldy-colired title-page, represent ing a gorgeous squaw on a liery and un tamed mustang. w "'I bat? Why you ordered it, didn't you? That is Iluiining Ife : or. The Piairic: Queen. one of Beadle's best." M.w',ie carried it at ami's leugt It, and threw it into the stove. Then she took the jiig of Bourbon and emptied it, into the back gibier. While she was gone. I c"licca!td Alexander Ibimas's "Wandering -Tew,"' which I also had pnrehas ed. for I began to see that I had made a terrible blunder in filling that order. (I have since ascertained that "Wandering Jew" is a vine, but how Was I expected to know all about it t) Not st Mrcn of a Jokh. Quite an amusing joke was perpetrated at a certabi boarding-house in Hudson hist Saturday night. One of the boarders, a very modest young man, had occasion to be out lau ' and the Test of his household thought they would play a joke on him and this is the way they d;U it. 1 uey rigged up a figure supposed to resemble a female, which they put in his bed, and they hung on a chair a skirt, on another a set of corsets, hung a dress over the footboard and ornamented the bureau w ith fate hair, Jiair-pins and fixings thus giving the room the appear ance of being occupied by a lady. At a late h mr the owner of the room re- , turned and lit the gas and his eyes bdieM such an array of articles as they were not j wont to gaze upon; but though his eyes were : surprised, his nose did not go back on him, i for it "smelt mice." and be proceeded ' quickly to gather up the fragments, did , them in a bundle, and hid them under the J barn. Sunday morning he apjH-ared at i tbe table as though nothing had occurred, 1 and could not lie prevailed upoti to see any j ko at all. The result was that the insti i gators were obliged to remain at homo I from church for want of hair, and boots. ! and things and bad to ask the bashful ' young man at last to return them. What : he wants to know is who got the joke played on them. "I'se De Lady." Capt. Hughes and Joe Alexander were on their way to Sioux City. We all know that Hughes is a Gree ley man, while Alexander is for Grant. On the train a discussion arose between them ; as to the politicsof the passengers and they concluded to take a vote. The conductor was requested to canvass the train, and in a shoit time returned with the following result: Greeley, 11; Grant 4. "But," says the cot duetor, '-there is another vote for Grant that I have not counted. It was cast by a lady." "God bless the lady !" exclaimed Alex ander, jumping up. "Where is she? I want to kiss her ! "Ilea, sah ! I'se de lady dat voted for Massa Grant !" shouted a voice in the fur ther end of the car, and an American Lady 1 of African descent blacker tha i the ace f ! spades and weighing about tiOO pounds jumped up and stretched her arms loving ly toward Alexander.
