Parson Lothrop bad exchanged Pulpits with pqrson Sumnieral, •of North' Wearem. - New, Person Summeral v. - as n man in the very outset likely to provoke the rithibles of unspiritualized . juveniles. Ile was a thin, wiry, frisky little man, In a pow dered white wig, black tights and silk stock ings with bright knee buckles, round, dark, Snapping eyea. and a curious, liigh,.cracked, squeaking voice, the very first tones of which made the children stare and giggle. The news that Parson Summeral was going to preach in our village spread abroad among us no, a' prelude to something funny. It had a flavor like the charm of circus act ing; and on the Sunday morning of our, Story we went to the house of. God in a very Itilnrious state, all ready to set oil in a laugh On the slightest provocation. • , The occasiim;Was not long wanting, Par son Lothrop had a favorite dog yclept Trip, whose behavior in meeting_ Was notoriously far from that edifying pattern which befits a minister's dog on Sunda) a. Trip Was a nervous dog, one that never could be taught to conceal his emotions or to reOpect con ventionalities. If anything about the -per form:nide In the singers' seat did - not please him, he was apt.to express' himself irr a lu gubrious howl. If the sermon was longer than suited him, he would gape with. such a loud creak of hie jaws as would arouse ,everybody's attention. If the flies ,disturb ed his afternoon's nap, he would give sud den snarls or snaps; or if anything troubled hie dreams, he would bark out•in his sleep in a manner not only to dispel his own slum bent, but those of certain worthy deacons and old ladies whose 'sanctuary repose was thereby sorely broken and troubled. For all these reasons Madam Lothrop had been forced as a general thing to deny Trip the usual sanctuary privileges of good family dogs in that age, and shut him.-up on Sun days to private meditation. Trip, of course, was only the more set on )Iqt-rid/Ince, and would- hide behind doors, jump out of windows, sneak throUgh by vva..e`tind alleys, and lie hid until le second bell ,hud N done tolling, when sr 'den!). he would appear in the broad aisle, innocent and happy, and take his seat as composedly as any member'octhe congregation. Imagine us youngsters on the qui vice with excitement on seeing Parson Summeral frisk up into the pulpit N wttlx all the vivacity of a black grasshopper. We looked at each other and giggled very cautiously, with due respect to Aunt Lulea sharp observation. At first there was only a mild, quiet situ- reeriag: of giggle, emprestetl tireOroualy within the bounds of proprieti. -und , wP puckered our muscles up mith stringent Yes! elution whenever we caught the apprehen= sive eye of our elders. . But when directly after the closing notes of the tolling Of the second hell Master Trip walked gravely up the front aisle and seat ed himself squarely - in front of the pulpit, and raised his nose with a critical air to ward the scene of the forthcoming perform-f ance, it was too much for us—the repress ion was almost convulsive. Trip wore an alert, attentive air, befitting a st,undr ortho dox dog who smells a possible heresy and deems It hie duty to watch the performance narrowly. Evidently he felt called upon to e.c.‘o who and what "sere to occupy tLut pu:cit in his master's absence. Up rose Parson Sutnmerai. rind up went Trip's, nos; vibrating w:tli intense atten tion.

What- especially moved her in dignation was that the more she rebuked and upbraided the more I laughed, till the tears rolled down my cheeks, which Aunt Lois construed into willful disrespect to her authority, and resented aceordingty. By auuchry evening, as we gathered around the fire, the reactio- mom undue gayety to sobriety bud taken place, and w e N ‘eie, in a pensive and penitent state.

It was therefore with unusual delight that we saw our old friend Sam come in and sit Outsell quietly down on the block in the chilling) , corner.

The Growth.,of Jokel An article in a lute number of the Brittch Quarterly Renew gives nit insight into the instory of many •sittici:eis that have be come famous, as well ea divulges the pro cess of manufaeture through which many excellent jokes-have had to go before their authors could pass them oil as spontanedus. " Wit;" it says, '' is not always so spon taneous us it appears. Impromptus' are ()fan polished by the midnight oil. Thus Sheridan's celebrated description in -. the Elduse of Commons of Dundas as one ' who generally rssorts to his memory fur hie jokes, and to his imagination for his facts,' went through many changes before it 'came out in ite, present brilliancy. The following are some of the earlier forms of the witticism: ' lie employs his fancy in his narrative, and' keeps his recollections for his wit.'r When he makes his jokes you applaud the accu racy of his memory, raid 'Lis only when he states his facts that You admire the flights of his imagination.'

" The germ of Douglass Jerrold's joke, that it was better to be witty and . wise than witty and otherwise,' is to be feund in - a littlie be„ilt of ' Conceits' published in 1010. In the same work is the evergreen joke of the man Gun, IN ho, having been charged by a judge for tale-bearing, was desired w give a goLld report in future. "Lord Lyndhurst used sto say of .Lotd Campbell when he ‘l , rote hi:s Lives of the Chancellors,' that he had added u new pain to death.

Lafayette tnade a tour of this country*, attended by such an ovation as offered,lperharis, the grandest spectacle' of a nation's tribute to a hero the world has ever seen; During his tour, v. Idle on a visit to 6012:1e town in the State of Tennessee,. the General was myste riously robbed of his watch, la valued sou venir,which had been presented to him (in 1781) by Gen. Washington. Directly upon the robbery becoming- known, most strenu ous efforts were made for its - recovery, :but; despite the'fact that the Governor of Ten nessee offered a reward of one thousand dollars for its return, not the,sltghtest trace , orit was thereafter obtained, and Gen. La• fayette was eventually compelled' ti , return to France resigned to the thought t _at the precious gift of his dear friend was lost to him forever. The years passed on, and 'with their lapse men's recollection of the circumstance faded away. Lafayette died in 1884, and for a space of forty-eight years the stolen watch bore an unknown history. At •the end of that time, but u few days ago, a gentleman residing in this city, while visiting Louis yille, attended an auction ,eale at a junk shop, where, istrange to relate, _IM found atnon the articles offered a watch which. upon examination, he discovered to be the song -lost watch of Lafayette. ; Suffice it to say that he eagerly purchased it, and quick ly formed the resolution to transmit it to The family of Gen. Lafayette, now residing in Paris. The watch is open-faced, of.gold - , with a double case, and may; be remarked as of a peculiar appmance, being of oril) ordinary size, but nearly as thick as it wide.. The outd v cao bears upon its entire surface carved tldures representing the pie iurb of Mars (Aiding a crown''. `to the God dess of Peace, who is surrounded by lei emblems, while over all appear the stern implements of war, hung high out of read).

What is Wattri - May I be permitted to ask and to answer the question, what is water? I suppose some of my readers are ready to make the Dog berry-like reply, " Water, sir, is ,water."— That certainly reaches the point by a verj short cut, but to the thinking, inquiring man it is not quite satisfactory. Let us an swer the question from the standpoint of the chemist. Water is rust. The red pow-. der that fails from iron which has long been subjected to the action of moisture is rust of iron. It is the oxide of a metal, and so is water. Water is the rust of hydrogeni tin, a true metal. This wonderful element ro hunian 'eyes have ever looked upon, and probably never will, as in its free state it exists only in the form of ati' invisible gas. • Quite -recently science 14 demonstrated experimentally what has long been suspects ed, that hydrogen gas is'a metal, and caps ble of assuming a solid forrn - in alloys.

' It is hopeless to fatten chickens while they are at liberty. They Must be put in a prop• er coop; and this, like'recrst other poultry tppertenanoes, need not be expensive.- To fatten twelve fowls, a coop may be three feet long eighteen inches high, and eig_h_t• eeu inches deep, made entirely of bars. No part solid—neither top, sides nor bottom. Discretion- must l be used, according to , the :.=ixe.of the chickens put up. They. do I not Avant room; indeed, the closet they are the better—provided they can all stand up at the same time. Care must be taken to put up such as have been accustomed to be to gether, or they will fight. If one.is quar relsome it is better to remove it at once, as like other bad e..amples, it soon finds imi titters. A diseased chicken should not be put up. Thefood should be ground oats; and may if either, put up in a trough or on a flat board running along the front of the .coop. It may be mixed. with either water or milk —the latter is the better. — It should be well soaked, forming a pulp as. locale 4.5 - cati- be, proVided it does not , run eff the board:—. . they must be well fed three our id* times a' day—the first time as Bovaafter daybreak as may be oossible 'Or convenient and then ut intervals of. four lents.,Each meal should be as much and no more than they.. can eat up clean.
