Young ladies' designed to avail themselvs of

A STORY OF LEAP-Y EAR.-Sam Smith
sat at home, on New ears day, in dlsha-
bile. His beard was unshayed, his hair
was uncomed, and his boots we're unblacked,
and he was leaning back in a picturesque
attitude, with his heels against the mantle
piece, smoking cigar. Sam thought to
himself that it was leap year, and how glo-
rous it would be if the ladies could only
be induced to pop the question, in accord
ance with their ancient privileges. As he
sat watching " the smoke which so grace
fully curled," his fancy glowed with the
idea. How delightful it would be to have
the dear creatures fondlng on him, and
with tender chances endeavorlng to DO the
agreeablel As he meditatcd his heart soft
ened, and he began to feel sqcamlsh wo-
manish sensibillty dilIusc itself over his
feelings, and thought he would faint with
propriety the first time young lady should
squeeze his hand.

That nations protesting belief in Christ
should couple glory with war, is mOnstrous
blasphemy Their faith, their protesting faith
is, love one another" Their practice is to
cut throats: and more, bribe and hoodwink
men tothe wickedness. The trade of blood
is magnifed into virtue. We pray against
battle, and gloriiy the deeds Of death.-Doug-
