No Use for TrOWSerS,

On the morning of the well-remem-
bered meteoric shower in 1888, Old Pey-
ton Roberts, who intended making an
early start to his work, got up in the midst
of the display. On going to his door, he
saw with amazement, the sky lighted up
with the falling meteors, and he concluded
at once that the day of Judgment had
come. He stood for moment gazing in
speechless terror at the scene, and then
with yell Of horror sprung out Of the
door into the yard, right in the midst Of
the falling stars, and here, in his efforts
to dodge them, he commenced a series OF
ground and lofty tumbling, that would
have done honor to a tight rope dancer
His wife being awakened in the meantime.
and seeing old Peyton jumping and skip
ping about the yard, called out to him
to know what in the name Of sense he
was doin' out thar dancin' around without
his clothes on But Peyton heard not
the judgment, and the long and black ac-
count he would have to settle made him
needless Of all terrestrial things, and his
wife by this time becoming alarmed at
his strange behaviour, sprang out of bed,
and running to the door, shrieked out at
the top of her lungs
'Peyton, say Peyton, what do you
mean, jumpin' out thar! Come in and
put your trowsers on.
Old PeytoD, whose fears had near O.
verpowered him, family answered as he
fell sprawling on the the earth

Modelling with others sometimes brings
US into scrapes, and thereby one of the
elders Of a church made " bad worse. y
A young fellow entered the church and
took his seat with his hat on. An elder
noticing it stepped up and requested him
to take it of. His request not being
complied with, he came to the young man
a second time, and seeing he still hesita-
ted, the elder gently lifted it off, when to
his (tbe elder's) chagrin, outrolled quar-
Of SlseN-barkS on the floor, making more
noise than was consistent with the rules
of the church.

ster, composedly, "see what you have

Her maiden name was Catharine Snip
She was born in Allentown, Northampton
county, Pennsylvania, on the 26th of Ju-

ofage. She remembers the occurrence Of
the principal events Of the revolution, and
frequently provided food for the Ameri-

lection of General Washington. InI79O,
when forty-six years of age, she was mar
ried to John McElroy, a revolutionary
soldier, by whom she had seven children,
four of whom are now living, two of them
being twins. She had a remarkably vigor-
Gus constitution, and often assisted her
husband in the mill before they came to
Philadelphia. She would take up a bag
containing l12 pounds of -four with all
ease, and place it on the back of horse.
She still retains much strength and activi-

of her friends are endeavoring to sell that
she may invest the proceeds and receive
a more comfortable maintenance, without

RI- The following anecdote was rela
ted to writer in the Jerseyman of thi
week, in a farm house in Virginia, during
a night spent there some six years ago.
"In December, IL, towards the clos,
of a dreary day, woman and an infan
child were discovered half buried in The
snow, by little Virginian, seven year:
old. The lad was returning from school
and hearing the means of some one Ill
distress, threw down his satchel of books
and repaired to the spot from whence the
sound proceeded, with frmness becming
one of ripper years. Raking the snow
from the benumbed body of the mother,
and using means to awaken her to sense
of her deplorable condition, the noble
youth succeeded in getting her upon her
feet the infant, nesting on its mother
breast, turnedits eyes towards their youth
full preserver, and smiled, as it seemed,
in gratitude, for its preservation. With
a countenance filed with hope, the gal
liant youth chcered the sufferer on, himself
bearing within his tiny arms, the infant
child, while the mother leaned for support
on the shoulder of her little CONDUCTOR
any home is hard by" would he exclaim,
SO oft as her spirits failed, and thus for
three miles did he cheer onward to hap
py haven the mother and child, both of
whom, otherwise, must have perished, had
it not been for the humane feelings and
perseverance of this noble youth.
A warm fire. and kind attention, soon
relieved the sufferer, who, it appeared
was in search of her husband, an emigrant
from New Hampshire, recent purchas-
er of farm in the neighborhood of--,
near this place. Diligent enquiry for sew
several days found him, and in five months
after, the identical house in which we are
now sitting, was erected, and received the
happy family. The child grew up to man
hood-entered the army-lost an arm at
New Orleans, but returned to end his
days, solace to the declining years Of
his aged parents"
Where are they, now?" I asked the
narrator.
"Here," exclaimed the son. al am
the rescued one there is my mother; and
here imprinted on my naked arm, is the
name of the noble youth, our preserver"

Old Plaster.

1t is not perhaps generally known that
old plaster from the walls of buildings, is
one of the best maa1aatres that can be ap-
piled to apple trees which have become
decayed from age and, its conse quences,
disease. If the soil about the roots of an
old apple tree, be removed to the depth
of foot, and over circle of eight or
nine feet in diameter, and old plaster fill
ed in, say eight or ten bushels to tree,
from weeds and grass, the tree so treated
will, in nine cases out of ten, revive, and
manifest almost as much vigor as in its
youthful days. And if, furthermore, to
the benefits resulting from this application,
we add those Of pruning, and scraping
the bark, and washing down with water
made Of ashes (or ley) the health will be
fully restored, and gratis inserted in the
trees, will succeed as well as if placed in
the limbs of the youngest and most thrift
ty trees in the orchard. There is prin-
ciple in old lime, which renders it peculiar
ly valuable for this use, and which, where
ever its virtues are u'aderSt0ot1, will always
secure it from being thrown into the gut
ter or the ditch. 1t is also an excellent
ingredient in compost heaps, and for pla-

STEALING PIN.-A young girl hav-
ing been convicted Of larceny in the Court
Of General Sessions at New York, she was
brought up for sentence on Monday, but
her counsel moved in arrest of Judgment
on the ground that the article stolon was
not sufficiently described in the indict-
ment. 1t was merely alleged that she
stole "a pin,' without setting forth wheth-
er it was breast pin, clothes pin, or a
brass pin, and as pleadings must always
be construed strictly in favor of the pris-
oner, it was argued that, for aught that
appeared on the face of the indictment,
the pin stolen might have been of triaing
value. The Court, therefore, acting on
the maxim de minimis non curat lex, dis
charged the prisoner. 1t is said that IN
point of fact the pin stolen was diamond
one, worth about one hundred dollars.
