DON'T PAY YOUR MINISTER.

Don't pay your Minister. wouldn't, If
were a church and congregation. I'd pay
two dollars a yard for my dresses, eight
dollars yard for my bfoadcloth, and not
"a sou for the W"rd Of the Lord and the life
blood of the minister: What's the use of
paying for going to mee,ing-iorking over
silver for sermons that can just as well
have for nothing? The minister will preach
anyhow and if his sermons ale pinched
out nf him, what matter is ii needn't
know anything about it, and ! shall have
grace given me TO improve by the discourse
| without paying any money, of which there
isn't very great plenty in my pockets just
now. ] can 60 10 church three times a
day, and no. lose cen, by it, either. I'M
mense profits Catch me paying my min
lister, when can have beautiful sermons
glorious discourses--so cheap. Catch me
paying my minister, when know so we'll
tha, good, round salary would spoil him.
Like as not, ii would make him feel SO good
lha, he'd black up his boots, and pu. on the
polish until his dear people could ell see
their faces in them. Before I'd know ii.
he'd be G. the tailor's, (for the very first
| time, too, since ne hsd oeen my minister
and when Sunday came, I'd take up my
head after had finished my desotion-and
what would see! Oh my eyes my min
isle, coming up the aisle, shining sll over
like Moses. How handsome he looks how
radian, he is! And how ,ha. new sui! O
broadclo,h gisens! When he gets through
preaching, say: How fat that sermon
was! What's 60! into him? Why, have
been paying him, and he's cot something
extra to thank God for. That's all that all
him. POLLY PRIMMER.

GIRLHOOD.

A sweetness in the morning air,
A witching laughter in the woods,
A group of maidens everywhere,
With glowing cheeks and flowing hair,
And not sorrow or care
Within their dainty hoods.
AnSilesAeetness in their limbs,
A tint ofhtorning on their brows,
Their postures full of girlish whims;
No dappled fawn SO nimbly skins
Along the silver lakelet hrims,
Beneath the dripping boughs!
They are ruthless, romplng rout,
Nlarauders Of each nook and glen;
They disappear with song and shout,
They beat the forests all about,
And ferret timid flowers out,
Then come in glee again.
Such knots of flowers, and knots of girls,
With beauty in their busy eyes!
One plaits a cluster with her curls,
Another in her fingers twirls
A nosegay rich with liquid pearls,
A tell-tale in disguise.
Oh! girlhood is guerdon fair
That still is left recreant race;
There's witchery in its wayward air
SprinklIng the sunshine everywhere /;
Alas that later years impair
Its simple, guileless grace! -

PARsoN BRowNLow's OPINION OF HAIR
RIEr BEEcHER STow.-The redoubtable
Parson is out upon Harriet after The follow
ing fashion.
This long longued visionary woman, and
calumniator of the South, is now in Europe
where she is being lionized by the haters OF
American institutions, and Republican llber-
ties. She is the daughter of old Lyman
Beecher, Presbyterian Minister, and has
two brothers who are Ministers of the came
Church. But her husband is also Minis
ter, and at presen. we believe is Professor
in Andover College. They are all AbolI-
lionists both male and female and the lying
book styled Uncle Toms Cabin, is believed
to be The joint production Of the entire family
manufactured for the occasion andss means
of raising the wind. Her Lsdyship ii is we'll
understood, is the most talenled member OF
old Lyman's family. Blu, mercful God
she presents to the world the most hIdeous
physognomy ever gszed upon by the eye
of man! She is as ugly as Original Sln-an
abomnation in the eyes of civilized people
A tall, coarse, gar looking woman-stoop
ehoudered, with long yellow neck, and
long peaked nose--through which she
speaks-an abomination in the ears OF Sou
lhern negroes who ns.inc'vely turn up
their flat noses at the ides of using the ma
sal organ to aid the organ Of speech. A
Daguerreotype Of her LadyshiP which we
have seen, sours the stomach Of Southern
gentleman; bu. lay aside ar. and present
the reality, and big black negro is sffected
with the intensest horror! Pigeon-toed.

SOMETHING FOR EvERYBoDY.-He whose
