IMPORTANT DEcrsros-we clip the following

IMPORTANT DECIsION.-We clip the Following
from one of our New York exchanges:
"At recent religious meeting in one of the
tewns in Erie county, in this State, the preacher
undertook to instruct his hearers in their duty at
the coming election. He denounced the present
national administrat tion of the general government
as we'll as the Democratic and American parties
In the most violent manner, and called upon all the
voters in the congregation to for free speech
free Kansas, and Fremont One of his hearers, an
American, being somewhat excited, exclaimed,
sold fellow will bet you ten to FIVE dollars there
are more Fillmore men present than there are of
the negro.worshippers' The offer was declined
by the preacher, and the person making the offer
was complained Of under the statute, for disturb-
ing religious meeting The facts being submit
ted to jury, they decided that the meeting was
not q religious but political meeting, and the
Fillmore man was discharged" e.5s

Low WATER-The Fredericksburg Herald
says that the Rappahannock river has been lower
the last few weeks than at any period within the
recollection Of the oldest citizens. Above the dam
of the Water Power Company the pedestrian

very fountain sources of the river, without much
Inconvenience and nearly dry shod.

Grand River times. [volume] (Grand Haven, Mich.) 1851-18??, 1856-12-24

Good reasons for not fighting duels are in
demand about these times, and we recall none
better than the one given dy celebrated
French duelst by the name of Evermont.-
He had approached perfumed dandy, and
being disgusted with the aroma that met
his nose exclaimed:
How shockingly that man smells"
The sweet-scented party resolved to snuff
the insuter's blood, sent him challange,
which the willy and witty dueliSt declined in
these words:
"Were you to kill me you would not smell
less; and were to kill you, you would smell
the more"
Grand River times. [volume] (Grand Haven, Mich.) 1851-18??, 1856-12-24

The PRESENT QUEEN OF GREECE.-The
Queen Of Greece is woman of thirty-five,
who will not grow old for long time; her
enbonpoint will preserve her. She is of a
powerful and vigorous constitution, backed by
an iron health. Her beauty, famous fifteen
years ago, may still be perceived, although
delicacy has given way to strength. Her
face is full and smiling, but somewhat stiff
and prim; her look is gracious, not afable.
1t would seem as though she smiled provin-
cially, and that anger was not far off. Her
complexion is slightly heightened in color,
with few imperceptble red lines which will
never grow pale. Nature has provided her
with a remarkable appetite, and she takes four
meals every day, not to speak Of sundry i'm
mediate collations. One part of the day is
devoted to gaining strength, and the other to
expending it. In the morning the Queen
goes out into her garden, either on foot or in
little carriage, which she drives herself.
She talks to the gardeners; she has trees cut
down, branches pruned earth leveled. She
takes almost as much pleasure in making 9th
ers move as in moving herself, and she new
er has so good an appetite as when the gar
deners are hungry. After the midday re-
past, and the following siesta, the Queen goes
out riding, and gets over few leagues, at a
galop, to take the air. In the summer she
gets up at three in the morning to 60 and
battle in the sea of Phalerum; she swims
without getting tired, for an hour together
In the evening she walks after supper, in heI
garden. In the ball season she never misses
a waltz or quadrille, and she never seems tir-
ed or satisfied.

The initiative propensitives of Young
America are quite equal to those of the mon

Here the discussion ended, the explana-
ton bengconsidered as good as could be Civ
en- under the circumstances, but Johnny's re-
tentive memory treasured it up.
GA few days afterward, Johnny's cap, as
little caps will do, got somehow out of its
place, and Johnny forgot where he left it.
His mother told him to look till he found it.
"Off he started, up stairs, and down
stairs, and soon his treble voice rang through
the halls, crying out 'deva! DEVIL! DEV-

mother, what in the world do you mean by

"Thc force of example could not fulther

with Johnnys father to be more select in his
use of words in the presence of his children"
There is hint to parents in that story
worth more than quarter.

FASHION, 1886.

Time was when girls their bonnets wore
Projecting half a yard before;
When beauty was thus hidden deep,
Twas something cen to get peep;
But now-oh woman's tickle mind =
They wear their bonnets all behind;
While men their features hide with hair,
The ladies go with faces bare,
And fancy all admire who stare!
So this will pass in liistory's page,
As English women's bare-faced age.
