| In Coles County, there lived a man
named Isaac Dodson, and his wife. who
were both firm believers in the prophecy
Of Father Miller, and not doubling for q
moment the correctness Of their proph-
cts calculations, they set about making
active preparations for the evenlful day
that was TO terminate the existence of all
subldnary things.
! Airr having set their house in order
the following conversation took place:
Husband-bIy dear wife, / believe I
have made every preparation for io-mor.
ro~. / have forgotten all my enemies.
and prayed for the forgiveness of my sinS,
and i feel perfectly calm and resigned.
" ife-WeiI, husband, / believe am
ready for The sunni Of the trumpet.
Husband--l am rejoiced to hear it,
But my dear wife, have no doubt there
are many li,tle domeStic secrets which we
have kept hidden from each other, which
had they been known at the time of their
occurrence, mighthaye produced unpleas-
ant feelings, but as we have but one day
more TO I've, let US unbosom ourselves
freely to each other,
Wi.c--W eli, husband, you are right;
there are some hitie Mings that never

/ Husband-No, dear, you begin.
! Wife--No husband, you begin--r SAINT.
/ IIuaband-No; you know. my love.
/ Paul says husbands have the righttoeom.

Christian woman to obey your husband,
and the father of your children. So. be-
gin, love.
Wlo--In the sight Of God, I reckon IT'S
right; 50 | will tell you, dear husband,
our eldest son, son, William, is not your
ciid.
+. Husband Great God Mary! Inev-
er dreamed Of your being untrue to me !
Is that so
/ Wife lin tears)--Yes, God forgive me,
its true. know | did very wrong, but
am sorry for it; but in an evil hour fell,
and'there's no help forit now.

his hair has turned to silk like that which
grows on the grain, and his toes are 50 full
Of corns that he expects to see them COW
