The Deacon Answered.
Vp In New llamitHhlre, where 1 used
to live wlieu a loy (nay Oovernor
'oytn), there wan Bit old deacon who
whs a great deul more pious than honent.
He wan an old hypocrite, and when he"
haddonc a particularly mean thitiK lie'
eased his cotiHcictiee by going out Into
a field, along one tilde of which was a
stone wall, and kneeling heslde It, pray
ing tVie Lord to topphi it over ou him If
lie hud done anything od'euaive to Hint
or wrong in Ills night. Well, we boy
found It out, and one day, when we saw
the deacon making for the atone wall,
we got on the inhcr eldo and waited,
lie knelt down according to hls usual
custom, and went through his umtal
formula, closing with the petition to
have the wall toppled over if lie had
done anything wrong. And we toppled
it Jumping out front under the atones,
the old man cried out in tones of mingled
disgust and alarm: "(lood gracious! '
can't you toll when a man Is joking ?"

Two friends, un T'ligliKhnian and

bedded room at an inn. Being awoke
by a noise in the night, the Englishman
called to his companion tolight a candle.
"Where U It V asked Pat. "At your

crazy f" cried Pat. "How can I see

Hi? The otherdny,H house in Putnam,
Conn,, in which there was a sick negro,
was struck by lightning, and some of
the neighbors going In to see what had
liecome of him, he peered out from ' un
der the bedclothes, covered with splinters
of wood and broken pieces of plaster, '
and coolly asktd : "Am dar goln' to lie
anudder shower, honics V"
0' A recently-appointed Scotch bailie
took his scat, for the first time, on the
magisterial bench. Looking " sternly
around, he thus addressed tho assem
blage: "Hithettti there have been many
complaints as to how impartially affairs
have been carried out here ; but I Intend'
that the business of this court shall In
future be conducted neither partially
nor impartially.'''

SaTT' During cholera times a Glasgow
joiner was asked by a lady, who' was
employing him at some household work,
whether he would have a glass now or
wait till he had finished the job. 'I'll
be takin' the glass noo men,' said the
artisan, 'for there's lieen power a' sud
den deaths lately.'
afiT As a gcncrul thing, these Western
girls mean business. One of them, whose
stern parents had refused to let her marry
a chap by the name of Smith, was heard
the other day to say; I guess we'd lietter
go down to llie gospel shop. Those idiots
won't have It, and I'll marry you or
bust a rib !''

gT'-What is heaven's best gift to
man asked a young lady on a Kunday
evening, as she smiled sweetly on the
pleasant looking clerk who was visiting
her. "A horse'" replied the young
gentleman with a commcudablo cau
tion. Au Irish hod-carrier at work 'on a
building, was complaining of his hard
lot; said he: "If I thought I'd have
to carry a hod in heaven, I'd tie a big
stone round my neck and jump into the
middle of the sue, aud stay there us long
as I lived."
An eccentric old Englishman who
died lately left a will which bequeathed
to his daughters their i ight in A'l notes.'
He evidently believed in the proverb.
"Where there's a will tliere'sa weight."
"A friend of ours," says the editor
of a New York contemporary, "is grow
ing weaker and weukcr every day. Hti
has got so weak now that he can't raise
five dollurs." , ,
A coroner's jury iu the cae of a
man who was killed by a falling icicle,
rendered the verdict tliat he died "front
hard drink."
