THE TVO MBS. TRAITOBDS.
There was only one reason for not pro
ceeding to the ceremony that was to make
llosaltha Haworth and Elleray Trafford man
ami wife. That reason was that Dick Traf
iord, Elleray 's younger brother, a vouth a
Lotit sixteen, had not yet arrived from the
city, where he was attending boarding-school.
The day had conic, however, and almost the
hour, and, whatever the came th.it delayed
biru, especially since it was Christmas week,
it was not, of course, thought sufficient to
propone the marriage.
The Traffords were a remarkably hind
some familv-7-so handsome that the family
group would at once have riveted the eye of
even the unobservant. - Mrs. Trafiord was
one of those few genuine blondes who do not
fade early and look like washed ribbons be
fjre twenty years of married life. Mr. Traf
f.ird tuizbt have been mistaken for a South
crn gentleman, so brtmied was his complexion
fo chivalrous his manner. Of three child
ren. Klleray, the eldest, rcsjmbled the fath
er. The two others were a daughter about
f ixhteen, named Lucy, and Dick, the school
boy of sixteen just mentioned. Both favor
-d their mother, being blondes of the pur
est hue. Lucy was just as fresh and tender
as an apricot, and Dick was hardly one whit
lt-i hand-ouie. He was one of those bean
tlful girlish looking toys, who not unfre
(ju.'Dtly uiuke the most masculine men. but

Lave the hair aud eyes, the lips and com
p'exious of cirl.
Little did Rj-aliha Haworth dream what
vas in store for her, when it was proposed
that the bridal trip should be modified so
that Klleray might call in the tnuroin; at
th.? school which Diek was attending, and
It-arn the reasons of hi delay. If "he had
known, would she have consented ? We will
no- stop to answer a question which, after
all, is foulUh and futile, and involves a con
rra jic:ion from the wry nature of thing.
The wedding wai over, the congratulations
were said, the breakfast was eaten, the
rpoeches were made, the pood buys were
bidden, and the new Mr. and Mrs. Trafford
tr-'ttinx into their carriage, commenced that
life the first year of which is said to be so
tantalizing and ru?ged. They took their
iaee in the train, accompli bed their jour
ney in safety, and in due time arrived in the
qniet old-fashioned city of P , where
I'i'.-k's boarding-school was established.
They tiok possession of the rooms which
La i been engaged for them at the hotel, and
text morninp Klleray sot off to see his young
brother, leaving Rosaltha alone.
If he bd had the dimmest suspicion, the
Liindest forelxxling c f what was to take
place, I hardly think he would have left Ro
fa'tha's side for one moment. Just as they
were setting out for P , Lucy had laugh
iiyly warned him not to go there, and had
ruiiindcd hitu of a certain former attach
ment of his a Miss Dorothy Dilworth
' 'm Mill resided there, and who might be
u-.-.puv.'J to be revengeful and Medea-like
ivsard Creusa meaning Rosaltba -now
tl i! hhe had los-t her Jason. Elleray had
v!:tdvi.ileu(!y, remembering, indeed, when
i: ! ;! fancied himself in lovwith one 6f
tiie j'-.tftiest young Quakeresses that P
e-'uM Lo?it, but he laughed it off, and ap:
"-reiiriy the whole affair was forgotten.
Hut could he have guessed who would
l ive entered the private parlor where his
wi?e w:n sitting, a few moments after his
bi k wis turned. I hardly think he would
have risked that walk to Pick's boarding
'li i )1. and tho anxious inquiries he made
ait - !.im.
Mr. S;eadman, the head master, a pom-"'iii-'y
commonplace man, explained that
l'ickhad left the school two days before,
''' I appeared as much perplexed as Elleray
-t thy fact of his not having been heard
frum. He was an intensiy garrulous man,
ar. r'ik-ray found it impossible to escape
fr in him. He inanely gabbled on, untrl
finally Elletay tore himself away in the mid
die of a sentence. Arriving at the hotel, he
found that he had been absent two hours.
He also found a letter awaiting him. Open
ing it, he found it dated from his recent
home. It was written "by Dick, was a hasty
scrawl, and ran thus :
I'll fix you off you see if I don't -for not
waiting for me. I got too late for the train,
and had to wait for the next one, and I
tmuk you all behaved real mean.
Your affectionate brother,
Dick."
Smiling at the boyish terms in which this
note was couched, he put it in his pocket,
and preferred to go tip-stairs to Rosaltba.
Meanwhile, how bad Rosaltba spent her
time? -..-.. '
Listen !
Elleray had been gone about five minutes,
when, without tap or 'knock, or any other
intimaticn, the door of the private parlor
opened, and a lady entering, stood hesitat
ing just inside the threshold.
Rosaltba looked up. - Her visitor was what
is called a gav Quaker. Her toilet was ex
pensive, but extremely neat, and was per
vaded through all its tasteful interchange of
cnlrrr, with one truiet, neutral hue, which
blent it into a rich, yet simple whole. Her
face was so sweet, so modest, sc candid, that
it put you in mind of a magnolia blossom.
She was apparently about twenty years of
age, well formed, and decidedly stylish.
"Is this Mrs. Trafford ?" she asked.
Rosaltba looked more steadily at the new
comer, and an unquiet feeling took posses
sion of her bosom.
"Yes," she said; "won't yon be 'seat
ed?" and rising she offered her visitor a
chair.
The pretty Quakeress 6a t down, and gazed
with u i disguised curiosity at Rosaltha.
"So," she said, "you are Elleray Traf
ford's wife?'
"Yes," assented Rosaltha, once more,
hardly knowing how to accept her visitor's
manner.
There was a moment's embarrassed pause.
"May T ask," said Rosaltha, then, "to
what I owe the pleasure of this visit?"
"Oh, yes ; certainly," replied the Qua
keress, with emphasis. "Jy name my
maiden name, that is is Dorothy Dill
worth." .
Rosaltba half rre from her chair, the
blood atartifig to her cheek. Then ' she
checked the impulse with a half smile at
her jealous credulity, and restating Lei self,
quickly sai l !
"I have heard that h'a'me before."
"From Elleray, perhaps?"
rrom Mr. Trafford?" asked R'osaftha,
wiih spirit. "No: frjm his sister, Miss
Dilworth."
The next moment she regretted having
spoken in a harsh tone, for her visitor' be
gan to show very evident marks of agita
tion. Her fine bluoeyes filled with tears,
her exquisite red lips trembled, and pulling
forth her pocket handkerchief, she hid her
face therein tor a few moments.
A wild, indefinite suspicion sprang into
Rosaltha's heart, and she trembled with tbe
violence- of her fee'iDgs. She constrained
herself to rise, however, to bend over her
weeping visitor, and inquire, with some ap
pearance of sympathy, what was the matter.
For some time the yonng girl refused to be
comforted. At length she raised her head
and she looked more lovely through her
tears,' thought Rosaltha, than when her
features had been composed and. looking
with great effort into liosailha's face, ex
claimed ;
"How can I tell you?"
"Tell me what," exclaimed Rosaltha:
"For Heaven's sake, don't torture me.
Anything is better than this suspense.
What is there, Miss Dilworth, that you
have got to tell me that I ought to know?"
' You ought to know that that is not my
rinv name any longer. You bear the name
that I hav3 the belter right to, and that u
"What?" exclaimed Rosaltha, in horri
fied tones.
"Trafford."
Rosaltha withdrew the hand she had
placed upon the girl's shoulder. The con
tact seemed to sting her with fire. She re
fleeted intensely lor a minute or two, and
then her courage returned.
"You must be insane, she said : Why
do you come here when my husband is out?
Why do you bring me such a tale as this?
i ou dare not coufront him with it. it is
all a falsehood."
"Do I look as though I was acting a
falsehood?" asked the pretty Quakeress,
raising her tear-stained eyes to Rosaltha's
face. "No, Mrs. Trafford, and her exquisite
lips trembled again, "what I say is too true.
I had oo opportunity to warn yoo before, or
I should have warned. I aw your arrival
in this moraine's papers, and I came to
vou at once at the risk of meeting him.
Forgive tne if I render you miserable; but
perhaps my grief has made me selash.
have been miserable myself for the last year
ever since he made mo bis wife
"His wife !" repeated Rosaltha. , It
seems as though the heavens would burst,
or the ground open at her feet.
"I swear to you I am his wife his true
and lawful wife." continued the Visitor. "It
is nearly one year since we were married.
do believe that once when ,1 was innocent
Dorothey Dilworth, he really loved me. Af
ter our marriage we lived together happily
just one week. From that hour to this I
have never laid eyes upon Elleray Trafford;
but I should know him know him any
where at all." . -
She stopped, noticing the change that
had overspread Rosaltha's face. It had
become very pale, and she swayed backward
as though Ehe would have lallen. in an in
stant the arms of the other were around her
and the visitor would have touched her lips
to her cheek. But Rosaltha, recovering
herself, pushed her coldly away.
. "You have had vour satisfaction," said
Rosaltha,' "You have taken your revenge.
Leave me. If it is any satisfaction, for you
to know that you have ruined my peace for
ever, enjoy that satisfaction, but leave me ;
that is all I ask." --
A moment's compunction overshadowed
the fair face of Dorothy.
"Do not let us part as enemies," -she
said, stretching forth her hand. "See, I
would have kissed you if yoo would have
left me. I hear you ao ill will. I owe you
do grudge. I have taken no revenge. Only
I'oould not bear my load of misery any
longer alone, and wrong as it was, in order
to make you a sharer in it, I have made you
miserable. Forgive" me. Let us part as
friends, never to see each other more. Let
us be as sisters. But as for that man "
"flush 1" said Rosaltha, raising her hand
"not a word against him, though he has
treated us both so shamefully. He is your"
husband. You have the best right to him.
Do you think I could live with him after
this? Never. He is fo Ae no more from
this moment, so far as anything more than
remembering him goes, than if he had nev
er be-n. To love him and live with him
any longer would be a crime in the sight of
nearen and man. Do not go I You must
stay until he returns. Then, together, we
will confront him !"
Even while she was speaking, steps were
heard in the corridor, and the next moment
Elleray Trafford entered the room.
The sight he met there was a strange
one. Rosaltha stood facing him. standing
by the mantlepiece, Jber form erect ard
prond, her hands tightly clenched in one
another. At the centre table sat Dorothj,
her face buried in her pocket handkerchief
among the books and picture i, and her
shoulders heaving convulsively, telling the
struggle within her breast.
He looked from one to the other, in amaze
ment, and an undofinuble expression passed
over his face. To the day of her death
Rosaltha never forgot it. He passed over
to her, and would have taken her hand, but
she repulsed him.
"Don't touch me," she said ; "you
She tried to pronounce the harsh word,
but memories of the golden hours of her
courtship overwhelmed her, her lip trem
bled, and she burst into tears.'
"For God's sake, what does this mean?
Rosaltha', won't you speak to me? What is
this mystery? What does ths woman want
here?"
He turned tor confront' Dorothy, but her
face was stiff hidden, and her sobs filled the
room. Rosaltha it was who commanded
herself and spoke first.
"Here is your wife ask her?" she said,
pointing fo Dorothy. t "From this hour, El
leray Trafford, you are no more to me than
if you had never cro-sed my path." "
As though by an inspiration, and without
any process of logic, Elleray strode up to
where Dorothy was weeping.
"Who are you, woman?" he cried ; and
laid a strong arm upon her tender shoulder.
The head was still bowed. Shame, or
fear, or anguish, still caused the gentle face
to be concealed, although the sobs cauic fast
and thick.
Elleray paused once more, looking first at
one woman and then at the other, in what
Rosaltha took to be well-affected extremity
of surprise. A second time he laid his hand
upon tho woman's shoulder, and tlm time
with a still rougher hand. '"
"Who are you?" he shouted. "Speak,
or "
"Me? O, I'm Dick !" exclaimed a voice
almost inaudible, through its smothered
laughter; and the next moment the visi
tor's head was thrown back and peal after
peal of utterly irrestrainable boyish laughter
ran through the parlor.
Elleray and Rosaltha stood there like peo
ple in a dream, utterly failing at first to com
prehend the situation. Meanwhile, there
sat their visitor, every moment exploding in
a fresh volley, and pointing and gesticulating
at them in a most unladylike manner.
"Don't speak to me! djn't coune near
me!" he exclaimed, his face growing scarlet
with laughter. "I shall split, I know I
shall! O, what fun I what larks! By jingo!
1 said I'd make you pay for disappointing
me, and so I have. Mi.-s Dorothy! Elle
ray's first wife ! O, you to simpletons ! O,
it is too good 1 Don't interrupt me, please.
Let me have my laugh out !"
03" he went again into another series of
explosions, and Elleray and Rosaltba, hav
ing nothing else to do. followed him, at
length understanding how matters stood.
Yes, it was Dick his naturally girlish fea
tures, completely disguised in his borrowed
feminine apparel. He had missed the train
which was to have taken him to tbe wed
ding; and bad arrived home some hours af
ter it was over ; had left home afer sending
his brother a letter calculated - to deceive
him as to bis whereabouts ; had stolen a
quantity of his sister Lucy's disused clothes
in order to act his part, and stayed at the
hotel all night, in order to watch his chance
in the morning.
Half an hour afterward he went upstairs,
and soon made his appearance in the attire
of his sex.:
As East India Leuend. When the
lofty and barren mountain was first lift
ed into the sky, and from its elevation look
ed down on the plains below, and saw the
valley and the less elevations covered with
verdant and fruitful tiees, it sent up to
Brahma something like a murmur of com
plaint. "Why thus barren? Why these
scarred and naked sides exposed to the eye
of man?" And Brahma answered, "The
very light shall clothe thee, and the shadow
of the passing cloud shall be as a royal man
tle. , More verdure would be les light.
Thou shalt share in the azure of Heaven,
and tbe youngest and whitest cloud of a sum
mer's sky shall nestle in tby bosom. Thou
belonged half to us." So was the mountain
dowered. And so, too, adds the legend,
have the loftiest minds of men been dower
ed in all ages. To lower elevations have
been given tbe pleasant' verdure, the vine
and olive. Light light alone, and the deep
shadow of the passing cloud, these are the
gifts of the prophets of the race.

The Chicago Tribune gives an amusing
account of the adventures of an amiable
old gentleman from the rural districts, who
had been wavering between orthodoxy and
heterodoxy for some time. He came into
the city to hear Robert Collycr preach. It
was his first visit to Chicdgo. Stepping fn
to North Clrtk street horse car, he rode out
as far as Turner Hall, where many of the
passengers alighted,- and perceived a crowd
of people, and inquired of the conductor if
that was Robert Collyer's church. The con
ductor, at the simplicity of the question,
promptly answered in the affirmative, and
our curious inquirer passed into the Hall. :
He saw a vast crowd of men and women
sitting at small tables, drinking beer. This
rather staggered him for a moment but he
reflected that they were possibly receiving
the communion. So he sat down at a table
and looked around him. Presently a young
man with a white apron came up and asked
him if he had ordered. No, he replied, he
was not exactly a member of the society,
but he came to hear Mr Collyer. The
youth with the white apron stared and pass
ed on. Very soon a number of gentlemen
stepped on the platform, with trombones,
and fiddles, and cornets, and began to play.
These Unitarians have aquier way of wor
shiping, thought the old gentleman, but I
have been living out of the world ; that is
the matter I suppose. He thought it
would come out all right when Coliyer
came on. But after the music therewas
"communion," and after a long interval
there was urisfc ? rrml by-nna-by a man
dressed in tights came forward and com
menced to swing rotina pole, ihen as-
other inan. dressed like the first, went
through a course of exercises of the cross

WriAT Makes the Wind Blow. If tbe
question were, "Who makes the wihd
blow ?" all our young friends would have a
ready answer ; they know that God con
trols all the forces of nature. But he us
es means. The tuir-is his grea wind mak
er. To understand its action, think of ihe
air as sC great Ocean like water, but much
lighter, entirely surrounding the globe
Tbe sun shines upon this ocean of air, arid
through it on the earth, heating them both
and iifiparting most heat at the earth's sur
face. But the "sun's rays shine more di
rcctlv down on some parts than on others
and therefore he:it them more. 1 bus, it is
always hotter in the region of tTie etfiaior
than at the polls. Now heat expands a
fluid, making it lighter, and when part of
the air is expanded by heat, it rises", arrd
the c-ol. r, heavier surrounding ah rushes
in to fill its place, and thus wind is produ'c
ed. The following simple experiment will
show iust h.iw this works.
Fill a lursre tin pail with water, in which
scatter some fine bread crumbs. Place
burning lamp under the middle of the pail
and the crumbs will soon begin to rise, car
riedup by the heated column of water, and
then making a curve toward the sides will
sink downward, and pass in a horizontal
direction aljng the earth's surface. In

air in different places bits of light cotton
or drv thistle blossoms, and yott will see
how the air is moving to each point
Living by tbe Dat. I compare, says
John Newton, the troubles which' we have
to undergo in the course of the year to
bumllc of faggots, far too large for us to
lift. But God does not require us to carry
the whole at once. He mercifully unties
the bundle, and gives us first one stick
which we are fa carry to day, and another
which we are to carry to-morrow, and so oft
This we might easily manage if we would

William Jay puts the same truth in anoth
er way. We may consider the year before
us a desk containing three hundred and
sixty -five letters addressed us one for eve
ry day, announcing its trials, arid prescft
bing its employments, with an order to o
pen daily no letter but the letter for the
day. Now we may be strongly tempted to
unseal before-hand some of the remainder,
This, however, would only serve to embar
rass us, while we should violate the rule
which our Owner and Master has laid down
for us. "Take, therefore", no thought for
the morrow, lor the morrow shall take

An amusing mistake recently occurred in
the newspaper report of the speech, in the
House of Peers, of Lord Westbury, on the
common law and chancery powers of the En
glish courts, in which the speaker stated
that "the justice administered in the one
class of courts was a terra incognita to the
practioners in the other." Baron Westbury
has a defective enunciation, and the report
ers, incorrectly catching his lisping accents
in the spacious chamber of the Peers, unin
tentionally put into the mouth of the speak
er a yet stronger and truer expression tha
the one he used, substituting "a perfect ter
ror for a terra tncognita.

An Economical Stockholder,'
A' good story is told ef a' gay and festive

one of those CcrrrscientrOus men' who insisted

"Say, mister, what do you ask for an

'One cent apiece," was the reply.
"I guess as how I'll have one," said the
stockholder. .
The bivalve was duly opened upon a plate;
and he was invited to "pitch in."
''Say, mister, is this all there is for a

Yes."
Can't you afford to give us another?

Well, some swallow it whole, and some

"It won't hurt a fellow, will it though ?"
"Oh, no."
So stockholder "went for it." and in a-

keep it company. "Nobody hurt."

"No."

eight of tbe aforesaid crackers. Stock

about to depart, feeling greatly refreshed.
when he was advised to keep his money,

he wss wtljome to tl e oysters. Hetrok the

A Yant ee Trick. One of our peculiar,
slab sided, gaunt Yankees lately emigrated
and settled down in the West He as th
pictare of a mean man, and as he put him
self to work in good earnest to get his house
to right-, the neighbors willingly lent him a
hand. After ho had got everything fixed to
his notion, a thought struck him that he
had no chickens, and he was powerfully
fond of raw eggs. He was too honest to
steal them, and too mean to buy them. At
last a thought struck him he could borrow.
He went to a neighbor and thus accosted
him :
'"Wall, I reckon you hain't got no old hen
nor nothin' you'd lend me for a few weeks,
have' you ; neighbor?" "
"I'll lend you one with pleasure," replied
the gentleman, picking out the very finest
in the coop.
The Yankee took the hen home, and then
went fo another neighbor and; borrowed a
dozen of eggs. . Ho then set tbe hen, and in
due course of time 6he hatched out a do ren
chickens.
The Yankee was again puzzled ;' he eoufd
return the hen, but how was he to return
the eggs ? Another idea arid who ever
saw a live Yankee without one he would
keep the hen until she laid a dozen eggs.
This he did and then returned the hen
and eggs to their respective owners; remark
ing as he did so:
"Wall, I reckon I've got a3 fine a' dozen
of chickens as yon ever had your eyes on,
and they didn't cost me a cent, tiuther."
A good' story is ford by ffre New 1fork
Ilerald'm correction with' the late arrival of
the steamer Smidt alt that port. As soon as
the captain1 of the 6teamer had touched the
dock he was accosted by a newsboy,- who
6houted out : "Here's the Evening Tele
grunt all about the safe arrival of the
Smidt 1" He stopped the urchin and asked:
"Vat's dat you say about der Smidt ?"
"She's got in all safe; nobody drownded.
Take a paper, sir?" "Yaw ; but votter toy-
vel's der matter? Ah, ha f yaas, I hafes it.
I made der passage too quick. Py tam ! 1
go right 'vay to der agencies and ' makes a-
pologize." And he started off in so great a
hurry as to forget to pay the newsboy for
the paper he had taken. The joke will be
best understood when we state that last year
the "Smidt" was out 6ixty days between
Breman and New York, while she made the
last trip in ntty days, burely there was
room here for congratulation:
A Jerseyman's-Mistake. iA country
man walked into a New York bar-room the
the other day. and called for a glass of ale.
Having swallowed the refreshing teverage
with great inward satisfaction, he laid five
cents on the counter and was proceeding on
his way, when the barkeeper stopped him
and blandly intimated that the price of a
glass of ale was ten cents. "Whatl ten
cents for a jlass of ale ?" exclaimed the
worthy old Jenwyman, with a look of in
dignant surprise ; and then while he
brought from a bulky pocket book there
quired additional currency, bis counten
ance settled into an expression of mournful
resignation as he plaintively continued,
"Ten cents a glass for ale, eh ? Well, if I
had ever suspected that, I'd have took
whiskey."

The Oneida Disaster.
" The Tribune publishes Yokohama cor
respondence of the Oneida disaster.' The
writer says the whistle of the Oneina was
blow and three guns fired", . stiW Cap Win
Eyre of the Bombay declares he neither saw
nor heard a signal ; yet the steward of the
Bombay, on his arrival at Yokohama, asser
ted tihat the Oneida had bcetf run into and
cut to the water's edge. But tbe worst of
the story is' the evidence of a British Lieu
tenant, that Captain Eyre told him he had
"cut the whole quarter off a damried Yan
kee frigate, and served her bloody well
right" Captain Eyre's own evidence is
to the effect that the collision was too slight
to be much regarded, and his' pilot told him
a spit of land' was near and there wai no
danger, and that he was a good fifteen min
utes looking after the ill fated ship.
The statements of Captain's clerk Crown
ingshield and Master Yates agree that the
Oneida's whistie was blown fierce'y, ml
that if the Bimbay had stopped or sent
boats, nearly every man would have been
saved. YaUs says as the ship was fast
sinking. Captain Williams, who was on the
bridge, was asked to get on' board, but re
fused saying, "No, I shall stay in my shij
if she goes down." Lieutenant Comman
der Muldaur walked up and said, "Sir the
ship is going down"." "1 krtowit," said1
the Captain, "but wba can I do ? 1 have
repeatedly asked for boats, hut could1 not
get them." , At this moment the' shlp'ret-
tled, the smoke slack came over and forced
the cutter from tbe ttetp'i s?d4; and she
went down stem' first . I hauled the Cap
tain's clerk, William F. Crowningshield, on
board, md made a great effort to save' Lieu
tenant Commander f tew :rt, but he sunk
just before I reached him, saying as he
went down, "for Clod's sake save me.'" He
was quite ill at the time;
Captain Eyre' has been suspended from
the British service for six months for his
inhuman and wilful regleet in not going to
the relief of the "Oueida and her perishing
passengers. '
While we are just rejoicing over the re- j
turn of silver pieces to our legitmate cur
rency the Canadians are rejoicing over the
prospect of an early r?dd snee Of all they
have got. American' silver has hmg been
called S nuisance in' Canada, Strenuous
efforts' hd'vff been' made by' the' merchants
there to get rid ot it as' a' circulating medium
by resolutions arrti all 6ther kinds of infor
mal enactments". A Montreal priest recent
ly announced from1 the alter, according to
report, that fees' Would betaken in Amer
ican .silver only at a discount of twenty per
cent, and finally f'btt Ottawa Parliament
has enacted that twenty per cent, should
be the legal discount upon it, the half dol
lar passing for forty cents and the other
coins proportionately. We may, then, soon
expect that our silver pieces will flow back
in abundance to our side of the line, where
they are fully appreciated. Thus it is that
everything combines to bring us back by a
healthy and natural course,' to specie pay
ments, without the necessity of any violent
action on the part of Congress.
"Sfpare the rod and spoil tbe child"," is
the fine old educational maxim which raised
wales" on many a juvenile skin. Out in
Gr5e'nfield, Indiana, a" teacher has carried
the" prifwiple to extremes. The "child" in
this case" bteing a young iiTan, a poker was
substitrJted for the "rod." Unfortunately
the educational prospects of (He pupil were
spoiled. The p'ofter finished him, and there
is CW pupil less in t he Greenfield school.
A clergyman arid one of his elderly par
rishoncrs were walking home from church
one icy day last wirite'f. when the old gen
tleman slipped and fell flat on his back.
The minister, looked at him a moment, and
being assured tb'art he Was not ' much hurt.
said td hint, "Sinners stand on slippery pla
ces." Tbe old gentleman looked np, as if
to assure himself of the fact, aud said,
"I see they do ; but I can't."
The following "floater" may be relied on
as a correct statement :
9 right smarts make a heap.
4 heaps make a pile'.
3 piles make a" lot.
4 lots make one' gob.
8 gobs make one' scad.
3 scads make one oodle.
5 oodles make a dead load.
2 dead loads make tnore'n a mule can eTy.
. When the Baptist Mission" Board met,
fifty years ago, they reported one mission,
one missionary and one convert, itlBurra'ah.
When the Board meets in May next, fhey
will report; missions, 13; stations and 6ut
stations, 1,800; churches, "50; converts.
50,000 converts daring the yar, 4,000.
Spotted fever prevails to an alarafng ex
tent in Davies, County, Indiana, and many
deaths are occurring. Out of a school of 4
thirty-five scholars at Jit. Zion school
bouse in the German settlement, thirteen
of the pupils all of them girls died of
the disease in two weeks.
' A New Orleans paper laments the decline
of the Bar in that city, saying that while it
has increased to more than four hundred
members, candor compels the admission that
not one-fourth of them are lawyers in tbe
true sense of the term, but merely attorneys
for collecting claims. .
it is a mistaken idea that manliness and
stoicism are inseparable that a tender
regard for the feelings and interests of oth
ers, ii wek and nnmanly. A heart insensible-
to sympathy claims greater affinity
with tbe brute than tha man.
