We were in disgrace, we- boNs, and the
reason, of it was this: we had -laughed cut
in meeting-ilrhei - To be sure the occasion
Was a trying one even. to more dieciplincd
nerves`. 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

Lois construed into willful disrespect to her

still preserved that trusty air of reProbation
which she held to be a salutary means of
quickening our'eonseienees fur the' future.
It was therefore with unusual delight that
we saw our old friend Sam come in and sit

Val, 1 used to live out in that parish in•

fence; and then I'd catch him by the horns

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.'
" Wit is un evergreen, and jokes of great
antiquity are continually appearing as new.
e can trace .the sentiment contained in
the well-known lines—
. For ha wiz° tights and ruts stray
;tiny LI a to fight another day,'
to Demosthenes, who, when he fled from
the rabble, and was reproached for it, said
that he that flies might fight again.'
" 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. The original 'of this witticism
can be traced to Dr. Arbuthnot, who styled

I well recollect the her; Scott, then
thirtY•four yea's of age, gave to the world
his " Lay of the Last linstrcl," the first of
Ids works Which awakened the enthusiastic
admiration that afterward attended all Ile
wrote. In that poem the spirit of the old
Scottish balluds—the most beautiful of their
class—lived again. In it we had all their'.
fire, their rapid narrative, their unlabored
graces, their pathos, ' animating a story to
winch he had given a certain epic bredth

- Lafayette's Long-lest Watch
•
It is doubtless within the recollection of
many that in the year 1824 Gen,. 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. Oxi
ygen, ty uniting with this gaseous metal;
rusts, exidizes, or burns it, and water is the
rust or ashes. This strange metal, hydro•
etenium, and its oxide play !an important
part in all the operations of ;nature. It is
not alone confined to the little bail of earth
(pea which we live, but it exiats in the stel
lar worlds above us, and in those misty
points of light, the nebtilm, which have so
long puzzled and perplexed the astronomer
and men versed in the physical sciences.—
The recent discoveries by means of the spec
troscope, have proved that thin metal enters
largely into the unformed, chamic,masses
of matter moving in space, of which the
worlds are made. It -is ready, when the
fOrmative act is fully accomplished, to take
its place, in combination with oxygen, as
water, maid in the sustentation -of animal
and vegetable life upon spheres so for dis
tant that our imagination even cannot reach
them.—Fireeida Science.

How to.Fatton Chickens.
' 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,
