A West II ill minister picked urf a frown wasp on the sidewalk recently, . and, with a view to advancing the in stcrest of science, carried it in the hoiso and held it by tho tail wliilo ho warmed its cars oyer a lamp chimney. His object was to see if wasps froze to death, or merely lay dorms nt during miner, lie is 01 me opinion tliat they lio dormant, and of tho dormant Mt kind at that, and, when they re vive, lie says, the tail thaws out first, for while this one's head, right pver the lamp, was so stifT and colli t lint it could not wink, its probe worked with such inconceivable rapidity that the minister couldn't gasp enough to keep up with it. lie threw the vicious thing down the lamp chimney, said he didn't want any more truck with a dormant wasp, at which his wife burst into tears and asked how he, a minis ter of the Gospel, could use such language, right before the children, too. Bishop Ames tells a story of a slave master in Missouri, in the oldeu tituo of negro vassalage, who said to his chattel: "Pompey, I hear you are a great preacher." "Yes, mssa, de Lord do help me powerful sometimes." "Well, Pompey, doti't you thiiik tho ' negroes steal littlo things on the pla tation r'I'se mighty 'fraid they does, roassa," "Then, Pompey, I want you to preach a sermon to the negroes against stealing." After a brief re flection, Pompey replied : "You 6ee, massa, dat wouldn't never do, cause 'twould trow such a col'ness cover de meetinV - , A few days ago a matt came iri irom the country who had a terribl'pain in his stomach, lie was ailment up, and his face wore ah expression of agony that was pitiaLte to see. Ho asked a boy if he knew where thero was any liquor sold iu town, saying be couldu stand it much longer if ho didn't get some. The boy eyed tho stranger for a moment, and then said : "Mister, I cannot tell a lio I don't know where they aoll liquor in this 'ere town, but if you'll give me some terbacker I'll show you where all the fellows go what's got pains in their stomachs." Alloona, Tribune. , "Eat your bread, Charles do not fling it away," said a learned and good Judge to one of his family, add ing "for who knows in the vissitudesof this life, if you may not some day want it." The old gentlemen had to cough, look loarned and goaway.when the youngster and go away, when the youngster answered more logically, "If I eat it, how can I have it when I want it?" This is the result of a learn ed Judge having chilren. One of the boys just before return ing to Cornell, the other day, sent a young lady fiiend of his a' cake of iuoiu s unest variety of toilet 6oap, with the request that she would draw no inference on receiving such a gift. The next day the young man was somewhat astonished when he received a letter from the young lady contain ing the present of a line-tooth comb, withe request that he would draw no inferences therefrom.

The correspondent who asks us what measures he 6hall adopt to keep agents out of his house, is informed that we know of but oue plau urn that is to act fire to his house and bum it down. "The honey-moon is well enough," said a prudent belle, "but what I want to see beyond that is the poniisa of a fine harvest-moon." Nearly everybody knows that near ly everybody lies, and yet nearly eve rybody says: "What everybody says must be so." The policy of John Morrissey is de llued to be a long pool, a strong pool, and a pool altogether. It is more blessed to give than re ceive, but it is much more difficult in these times. No longer do they say "according to Hoyle." Now it is "according to Schenck." 7 .. The charity that begins at , home isn't the kind "covers a multitude of sins."
