Slimmeu's I'keik'AMEXT. Slimmer j
r.-:i!iy deserves pitty, for it certainly was j
uncommonly rouh on him. He was o- ;
iiii up to leading the oilier i'ay, anil w hen j
he reached the depot lie happened to look I
iat ihe hidies room. A womau vat there j
with a I .! iil'lusjiiai- and three children, j
niul !. -.v simmer .'ic. rushed at j
him.

I H. lltii:n-l' was amazed, indignant,

stii: aliw ? II tv'n't vou huied tnn-fc your

lace, aud chins: to him, and smiled through
vti tears. "Madame," said he solemnly,

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

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.'
Most farmers keep ten or a dozen barrels ,
of Cider in their cellars on the same plea as j
that of '.he Dutchman, who said he always
kept rive or six barrels of t-auer kraut in

A bandy is a chap who would be a lady

themselves by improper indulgence and soiiiary

learned from evil companions, or at school, the
etlects of whieh are nightly felt, even when
asleep, and if not cured, renders marriage impos
sible, and destroys both mind aud body, should
apply, immediately.
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

A Dl'lk House. A shelter for ducks

house. It el ould not lie higher titan five

rear. 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

summer. ' A frit ud of mine, near Le Koy
has a lare iiumber of iciir Irm-s, both
btamlard and dwart. Last spriu he :alh

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
