Address DUFFIELD ABUMEAD, Publisher, 7U Bansoin Street, Philadelphia. June 4,1871 1ft 1 JL. HUMOROUS. tWIjiUloJJohnny was preparing for Sun day school, situated some distance away, when his mother saw ono"of their neigh bors approaching in bis wagon. This neighbor, by the way, was called "Tho Rich Man," being both wealthy, kind hear ted nnd liboral to tho poor. Johnny ran out, and tho rich man took him into his wagon, as lie wan going right past the Bun day school. It was a very hot day, and so Johnny took off his shoos and stockings to. keep cool. , , When they arrived tho exer cises had nhoiuly begun, nnd . as tho ninn was going to church about a mile beyoud, and had ngrccd to call for Johnny on his return, ho concluded not to put on his shoos and stockings ngain, but leavo them in tho wagon. So ho tripped lightly into the school, nnd tho ninu drove awny towards church. ' His teacher was just hearing tho lesson which, by tho way, Johnny was not ac quainted with, which was tho fates of tho rich niau and Lazarus. Soon after Johnny took his seat It came his turn to nnswer a question. Johnny, can you toll mo whoro tho rich man went?" "Ho went to tho Baptist meeting, sir," replied tho lad, thinking only of his lato companion. No, no, my son ; the rich man went to Juill," said the teacher, with great im pressiveness, whilo the other scholars were tutoring with laughter. ' Did ho?" exclaimed tho lad in all hon esty. "Then ho has taken my shoos and stockings with him," and up ho jumped, mid seizing his hat, ho put out of the school room aud down the road, to over take tho rich man and recover his property. 3PA sccno occurred in one of our courts says tho Now York Nows, not justiilod by anything in tho returns. Tho judgo is quick spoken, and to a stranger would ap pear somo what testy, although such is not really the caso. A gentlomau called in whilo ho was on tho bench, in relation to. somo business he desired to have transacted nnd, having attracted his attention, was ia tho act of statiug bis reason for the un seasonable interruption. When his Honor turned suddenly and said: " What is your namo, sir?" " Lowder," was the reply. "What is your name?" repeated his Honor, raising his voice. " Lowder," was again the response." Drawing in a full breath, tho now exci ted judge fairly screamed: " What is your name, sir?" " Lowder, sir ; Mark Lowdor," was still the answer. "I'll mark you if you answer mo in that' manner," said tho now thoroughly infuri ated judge to the bewildered applicant for' judicial favor. At this moment a friend ventured to ex plain that tho gentleman's nrmo was Low der "L-o-Wd-e-r," said he, spelling it." " O," said tho woaror of judicial ermine, fully comprehending tho situation, and laughing heartily, "I beg your pardon, but don't that spell Loder?" " No, sir," but I am under the im prossion that had I compelled you to ask once more, tho owner of tho name would have been low enough." CSTho other day a worthy lady of Peo ria dotected hor two sons laughing im moderately. Suspecting that sho was tho cause of thoir disrespectful mirth the good woman involuntarily loosened her slipper and called up the culprits. " Thomas, what made you laugh ?" " Nothing made me laugh ; I laughed on purpose." "None of your impudence, sir. John, why were you laughing at the door just now ?" ' John (eagerly.) " Wasn't laughing at tho door, I was laughing at Tom." Tom. " And I was laughing at John." Tho matron assumod a dignified atti tude. " Now, my boys, what wore you both laughing at ?" Boys (in a triumphant shout). " We were both laughing at once 1" The good lady summoned all her energies for a final effort, and resolved to corner the boys by a settling question. " Now then, I want you to tell me, Tom, what made John laugh, and you laugh?" Tom (indescribablo). "John didn't , laugh a new laugh ; it was the same old laugh." Neither of the boys got whipped, the slipper slid back to Its accustomed place, and to this day nobody knows what those boy's laughed at.

"'Oh I never mind, sir, it's of no consequence ; you can't hurt it." " No, ma'am, it's not that ; but the con founded thing hurts me."
