A COMMON BLUNDER. 1T very Of
ten happens whea person is excited
and wishes to utter a sentence In
haste, that he puts the cart before
the horse as the saying is. We
heard of an amusing instance, which
happened at a revival meeting at
Wooster, Ohio, not many years ago.
The Rev. Mr.. Snyder was an enthusi-
astiC deVOtee, spoke very fast and
II loud. Among the divines present was
aMr. Woolley, an eloquent man.
After one Of the Songs of Zion had
been sung with an JUNCTION, the con-
gregation instinctiyely kneeled, and
Bro. s. sung out at the top of his
lungs Brother make WooAey pray
Ti Our informant says this was the
first occasion and the only one on
which he ever heard a burst of laugh
ter in church. Nevertheless, Brother
Woolley made one of the most elo.
quent and expressive prayers on that
occasion he ever heard.

Dan Jones has a wife, an amiable,
accomplished, and beautiful lady, who
loves Him devotedly, but she finds too
many bricks in his hat. One night he
came home tight, and was not very
much astonished, but rather frighten.
ed,t 10 find his worthy lady sitting up
for him. She always does. She
smiled when he came in. That also
she always does. "You stayed out
50 late" she said, "that l feared YOU
had been taken sick"
'Hic-ain't sick, wife; b-but don't
you think I'm a little tight"
"a very little, perhaps. my dear,
but that is nothing--you have so
many friends, as you say, you must
Join them in a glass once in a while"
Lh"WifeyOu' re too good-the truth is,
lam d-drunk."
"Oh, no, indeed, nv dear--I'm
sure that even another glass wouldn't
hurt you. Now suppose you take
glass Of Scotch ale with me, Just as a
night-cap, my dear?"
'You are too kind, my dear. by
half; I know I'm d-drunk."
"0h, no, only julep too much,
love, that's all?" r'Well, take a glass
Of ale at any rate; it cannot hurt you,
dear; ! want one myself before |
retire"
The lady hastened to open a bottle,
and as she placed two ttlmblers before
her on the side board, she put in one
avery powerful emetic. Filling the
glass with the foaming ale, she hand
B ed that one with most bewitching
smile to her husband. Suspicion came
cloudily upon his mind. She had new
er before been so kind to him when
he was drunk. He looked at the glass,
raised it to his lips-then hesitated.-
Dear, wont you just taste mine, 10
make it sweeter" said he.
Certainly, love, replied the lady,
taking a mouthful, which she was very
careful not to swallow. w
Suspicion vanished, and so did the
ale, enetiC, and all, down the throat
Of the satisfied husband. After spit
ting uttthe taste, the lady finished her
glass, but seemed in no hurry to re.
tire.
She fixed a foot-tdb of water before
an easy chair, for which the husband
was curious to know the reason. Al
few minutes later, the gulp and splurge
from the throat Of the husband gave
the answer. is
10Y The brick was gone when he rose
from the easy chair, and he nevera after
carried one home to his wife.

feet is heard, the folding doors are
thrown open and a strong, surly. look
ing, bull-headed ''navvy," !" whose legs
had been smashed by q railway acci.

on the table. His face is damp and
Pale,--he casts an anxious, eager look
around, then with shudder closes his
eyes, and lies down on his back.
The chloroform apparatus is now
applied to his mouth, and dead ST.
lence marks the general expectancy.
The mans face flushes-he struggles,
and some mufled exclamations are
heard. In minute or two more, the
gentlemen who has charge of the chlo-
roform examines his eyes, touches the
eye ball--the lid ,winks not-.the oper-
ator steps forward, and in a trice the
limb Is transGxed with the long bistou-
ry. Some intelligence now animates
the patients face, which bear a look
Of drunken iollty. HHal,ha, ,ha Capi-

barred, and the operator saws, while
the patient shouts,

O. your tricks, Jem! Hold your jaw,
will you! Who can sing when you're
making such a blessed row? What,

endeavours to hit out, narrowly mis-
sing the spectacles Of a gentleman in
Whlte craVat, who steps hastily back
and exclaims,
"Hold him fast!"
The leg being now separated is
placed under the table, and the arte-
ries are tied, with some difficulty, on
acconnt Of the unsteadiness of the pa
itient, who, besides his pugnacity in
general, has quarrel with an imag-
mary bulldog, which he finds it ne.
cessary to kick out of the room.
