II tv'n't vou huied tnn-fc your i.'.iiisa And she looked into Mimmer's lace, aud chins: to him, and smiled through vti tears. "Madame," said he solemnly, "if turn the person alluded to as Henry, permit me tosy that you have made a mis take. Mynamy is Imu -I ; I have no Aunt Martha, nnd 1 don't own a solitary h.U!.i. Oblige ae by letlin- 0 my coat. It i-xeit remark.' Then she b-iri.-.l her h ii!i lil.tK r into his waistcoat, and K-uau to cry harder than ever, and said: 'Oh, Henry, how -how can you treat lue so V How can you pretend that you are u t my husbaud ?' 'Madam,' screamed Slimmer, if you d not cease nipping my shirtboiom ti'.id remove your umbrella from my corn, 1 U.ii'i toil 11 rail the noliee. Let toe go, I say.' "The children are here hi. fM'!littd : 'ihev recocr.ize t'mir d.ar :":uhr. Do you not, children?' 'Yes,' thev exclaimed. 'It ipa-i'- u' 't,ir pa.' And they grappled Slimmer by the t row fif 1 lej: Mud luiug to hie ccat tail. 4 Wo iuat.,' he hrieked, 'Ibis is gettiug serious. L'nhaiid m I say." and he tried to disen gage himself from her embrace, while all the brakeinen, aud the newsboys stood around aud said Ids conduct was infamous. In the midst of his strule a stranger en tered with a carpci-bag. He looked ex actly like Slimmer, aud when lie saw hit. wife iu Slinimei's arms he became excited, and he flooted Slimmer with that caipet 'bag and sat on Lira, and smote Lis nose, and caromed or. his head, and asked him what he meant. Slimmer was removed on a stretcher, and the enemy went of!" iu a cab. He called next day to apologize. His wife made a mistake because of Slimmer's likeness to him. And now Slimmer wishes he may siou be kicked in the face by a mule, so that he will resemble no other hu man beiug on earth. The worst blunder in what was intended for a pretty speech that I ever heard of, however, was perpeliaUd iu modern times by a dignitary o! the church, who was ask ed to marry a youug couple in a country place where he hapieued to be staying, and was also called upon to purpose the health of the bride and bridegroom at the subsequent breakfast. Xow the host and hostess were noted iu the country round as the most genial, and in hand through life ; so the good di vine thought that he might as well turn this Li account in Lis speech. To sum up all our good wishes for the happy pair, whom we have t-eou united this morning,' he said in conclusion, 'we cannot, lam sure, do better thau to express a desire that the result of their union may prove strictly analogous to that of the par ents of the fair bride.' Yhereupou the 'fair bride' went into hysterics, the bridesmaids colored and looked dow n, the master of the Louse blew his noce violently. He w ho had caused all this commotion, wisely sat down and held his jieacr, won dering at the eflectot his iuuocent eompli meut to the host aud hostess. He soon, however, found some one to en lighten him. She is not their daughter at al!,' Lis in formant explained, 'but a neice who came to live with them when her own father and mother were divorced.' There is an old darkey down in Mary land who lately voted for local option, as he understood it, but not as the public generally understand it. The story, a true one. runs thus : At a recent election a friend asked the old man Low he was going to VJte. "Oh," he replied, "the Republican tick- t. I always vote that ticket." "15ut how are you going to vole on local option ?" The darkey, looking up asked, "what is ;at V" "Why, local option is puttiug down li quor," was the reply. "Lors a Massa," said the darkey, "of course I vote for local option ; I voles to put down liquor to the price, tip penny-bit a pint !" An Irish strvent, newly engaged, pre sented to his master one morning a pair of bvois, the lea of one of which was much iongir than the other. "How comes it, you rascal, that these boots are not of the same length r" "I really don't know, sir ; but what bothers me most is that the pair down stairs arc iu the mine fix." Mvw llr lilt ANDY. AVe are sorry to learn that aierman chemist has succeeded in making firt-rate braudy out of sawdust. We are a friend of the teuijierauce move men!, and we waul it to succeed, but w hat chance w ill it have when a man can lake a rip saw aud go out and get drunk with a fence-rail ? What is the use of a prohibitory liquor law if a man is able to make brandy smashes out of the shingles on the roof, or if he can get dcliruin tremens by drinking the leg of his kitchen chairs ? You may shut an inebriate out of a gin shop, and k- p him away from taverns, but if he can iiecome uproarious on boiled saw dust and dosiccated window-sills, any eflort at re form muct necessarily tie a failure. It will be wie, therefore, if temperancu societies will butcher the (ierman chemist before he goes any further. His receipt ought not to be made public. He should be slufled with distilled board-yards until he ncrishes with mania a potu. I 'm i.E Bill was a drover from Vermont, lieing exposed te all kinds of weather, his complexion suffered some what ; but at the Wtl he was none of the whitest. Stopping at a public house, a man ofnotoriouly bad character thought, as Uncle Bill came in, he would make him the butt of a joke, and, as the black face of the weather-beaten man appeared in the door, he exclaimed : 'Mercy on us, how dark it grows !' 1 Uncle Bill, surveying him from head to I foot, coolly replied : Yes, sir, your character and my com-j p'exion are enough to darken any room.' j A MAN writes to an editor for four dol lars, 'because he is so terribly short,' and gets in reply vhc heartless response: 'l).j ? 1 1 stand upon a chair.'

TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE. lr.

Whut a pity that a young man, the hope of his country, the "darling f his parents, should be snatched from all prospects and enjoyments of life, by the consequence of deviating from the putii of nature and indulging in a certain secret habit. Such persons mist before contemplating MARRIAGE, reflect that u sound mind and body are the most necessary requisites to promote connubial happi ness. Indeed without these, the journey tbrough life becomes a weary pilgrimage ; the proseet hourly darkens to the view ; the mind teeouw-s shadowed with despair and tilled with the melan choly reflection, that the happinm of anotln-r becomes blighted with our own. a CERTAIN DISEASE. When the misguided and imprudent votary of pleasure finds that he has imbibed the seeds of this painful disease, it too often happens that au ill-timed sense of shame, or dread ef discovery, deters him from applying to those who, from education and resp.-etabiiity, can alone bcfrieu.l him, delaying till the constitutional symptoms ot this hurrid disease make their appearance, such as ulcerated sore throat, diseased nose, noetural pains in the bead and limbs, dimness of sight, deafness, nodes on the shin bones aud arms, blotches on the head, face and extremities, pro gressing with frightful rapidity, till at last the palate of the mouth or the bones of the nose fall in. aud the victim of this awful disease becomes a horrid object of commiseration, till death puM a period to his dreadful siifteriug, by sending him to " that Undiscovered Country from whence no traveller returns." It is a melancholy fact that thousand DIE victims to this terrible disease, through falling Into the hands of Ignorant or unskillful PRE TENDERS, who, by the use of that deadly Poi son, Mercury, Ac., destroy the constitution, and incapable of curing, keep the uubappv sullerer tNotith aft?r month taking their noxious or In jurious compounds, and instead of being restored to a renew al of Life Vigor and Huppiue, iu des pair leave him with ruined Health to sigh over liis galling disappointment.

It should be surrounded with a fence of small pickets, about tiohleen inches ia length. The nest should be very low; a basin scooped out of the ground makes a very jjood nest, which is only to lie used for ei?s. A duck will lay a much larger number of es if rach one is re uioviti from the ucsl as soon as depooited. That the eus may be readily taken away, the lies is s1ioti!d be made at the front of the house, and one of the Uurds hua upon hinges, so that il may be 8wun: to one bide, aud the picked up.

' A frit ud of mine, near Le Koy has a lare iiumber of iciir Irm-s, both btamlard and dwart.

Every tree thai had ashes around showed unmis takable sitis of improvement by being loaded with 1'ruil. AuU another tiling, he did not lose a single trie from blight, al though a j;reat many were struck with it in the same locality. Now 1 cannot say the ashes saved the trees from the blight, but he thinks they did. At any rate it ii worth irking. I think coal ashes just th tt-iiij; 'or pear trees. Iiurtd Home. BoTS IN IIoitsES.
