A Ni.r.iirv i.ovnt In ca-ljr life so curly tint I cannot remember the removal my fatiicr "pulled up stakes," and carrying with lura the household good, went from Bourbon county, Kontueky, where I was born, to Ohio. Notwithstanding a rough-and-tumble struggle; with tlio world, he had a hard time to pot on, owning to a numerous and rapidly in creasing family. "Well, family mat ters had not much improved when I had reached my tliriteenili or four teenth year. At this time there lived in the neighborhood a young man named kkinner. Hohad inherited a well stock ed farm, was good looking, and made a strong profession of religion. This latter qualification caused him to find peculiar favor iu the eyes of my fath er, who always was blinded by pro fessions of extra piety. This fellow had a strong "hanker ing" after one of my sisters, who was a very pretty girl. To her he was particularly distaseful. She seemed always excessively annoyed at his presence. Yet he was ever at her side. She dared not dismiss him en tirely, for fear of the paternal anger. Things went on in this way for a year or two, and as I partook largely of my sister's hatred to him, I resolved to get rid of him in some way. I cast about for a plan for some time, but nothing occurred which gave me the slightest hope of being successful. At last, returning home one summer night from mill, I found the family at their nightly devotions. Passing by the windows of the room in which they were assembled, I saw that Skinner was thero, and pretty soon discovered that he was nodding, and finally his head dropped. Now was my opportu nity. I stole slyly into the ball, and reaching thro hnll door, which was slightly ajar, aud close by w hich Skin ner was, 'on bended knee,' I reached in and quickly pulling his chair from under him, he rolled heavily, as a sound sleeper would, upon the floor. The noise alarmed all. The old gen tleman stopped in the midst of hi 1. most iuterminablo prayer, and saw the fiosition of Skinuer. All the family anghed outright; even my mother uiiled. Skinner tried to pick himself op as rapidly as possible, but he touched the old man upon his tenderest point. It was evident, from his rubbing his eyes, that he had slept under tho old gen tleman's ministrations; aud had not my father a reputation far and wide Tor the fervency and strength of his ministrations, and was not Skinner his professing brother? It was too much. Slowly, yet most dignifiedly did the old man approach hira. "lie gone, hypocrite!" he cried in thunder tones. "Never enter my house again." Skinner was thunder struck? lie felt that he could make no apology which would not add to the insult. He had no suspicion of tho exterior force which had so suddenly aided him to fall. He at ouco found his hat, took up his line of march, and com pletely crestfallen, passed by rue as I stood grinniug in tho shadow of the porch. At a suitabje time I entered, got .my supper, and was told by ray broth er in hurried whispers what had hap pened. I then stole off to bed, affect ing ignorance and laughing most heartily, as I ensconced myself in the sheets, at the completo success of my pian. 1 m "How are von. rnuntf" unid nnto.l wag to a spruce-looking specimen of vue genus anoo. "fc:rr exclaimed the indignant swell, "who are you and why do you call me count T" "Why I saw you counting oysters, last week, and I supposed you were of royal blood." . Snob vamosed. At a spiritual camp meeting held at Dubuque, Iowa, last week, a inedi umistio response to tho question, "How long will it rain?" was: "The clouds keep pouring out water; and o long as the clouds keep pouring out it will rain." And then they knew all about it The logio of the young wife is irre sistible. She: "We' are ono, dear, now that we're married, are wo not?" He: "Certainly, my darling; why?" She : "Oh, I only wanted to know ; bo cause, if we are, I must have been dreadfully iuebriated last night." Give a boy a market-basket of gro ceries to carry home and he will swing it across his spiue, beud half way to the ground aud groau with agony, but give hira that weight of base ball bats and he will skip along as merry us a potato bug in a ten-aero lot. A lacy fellow falling a distance of hily leet, aud escaping with only a few cratches, a bystander remarked that he was "too slow to fall 1'uHt euough to hurt himself." It is singular that miueral waters are only beneficial to the wealthy. Wo never knew a phyuiciuu to, adviso a poor man to go to any wutoring-pluco. "Our inside contains to day," says a couutry editor, " 'Dyspepsia,' 'Crooked Whiskey,' 'A Choose Kestauraut,' aud vurious othor interesting articles." Why is a church bell inoro umilile lhaii u church organ ? Because one will go when it is tolled, but tho other will ixi 'blowed' first. Tho children iu Florida sny they Jive on sweet potatoes iu the summer and on slrungurs iu tho winter.
