Money is All.

This is what they say, l know, but that
doesn't quite make it so. Money is an
excellent thing, and has done a great
work for the world-as the drunken sal
tor said water had for navigation; but
sometimes it SO happens that when man
secures all he aims at, he is rs discon-
,ented as before he had dollar in the
house

chief in this matter; for they will hard

en just about the same thing.

seventeen daughters and that family un-

She grew as keen as an operator in State

but old enough to take the prefix, Mrs,
certainly. Her mother had been look
ing out for her, and she had been looking
out for herself Two or three energetic,
enterprising and likely young men had
bestowed their favors in vain, and two or
three more had concluded that it was no
use for them to try either. So there she
was, pretty well ashore, as you can see

DEATH TO BE ABOLISHED

DEATH TO BE ABoLIsHED-There Is
a community Of Perfectionist. at Oneida,
New York, whose community of Interests
extend to the domestic relations. The
last number of their organ, the Ctrcnlar,
Announces that without any direct refer
ence to Scripture proof, it might be dem
onstrated that, under the regime Of Bible
Communism, death will ultimately be
abolished. The good Office which death
performs is, to keep q constant check upon
the parasite life of Satan in this world,
by removing the different actors from the
scene, thus prolonging the contest between
good and evil If this is the Office OF
death, it is very easy to conceive state
of things in which its miuistration will
not be necessary. Where there no longer
exists the necessity for scattering and
weakening the forces of human nature for
the sake ofdestroying the evil, there
death can no longer subserve the purposes
of God, and will be abolished.

HOW TIE BEAR CAME TO Have 4

How THE BEAR CAME TO HAVE A
SHORT TAIL.-A Norwegian fable salts
factorlly accounts for the short tail of the
bear. The bear, it seems, was once met
by fox who carried load of fish, and
who, in answer to the question how he had
obtained them, replied that he had caught
them by angling. The bear expressed a
desire to know an art 50 useful; when the
fox informed him that he had only to make
a hole in the ice and insert his tail. "You
must stop long enough, and not mind if
it hurt you a little said the friendly ad-
wiser, "for sensation Of pain is sure
sign that You have bite. The longer
the time, the more the fish. Ncverthe-
less, when You have a good strong bite,
be sure you pull out" The credulous
bear followed the instructions and kept
his tail in the hole till it was frozen fast.
When he pulled, the end of the tail came
of; and hence the shortness of the appen-
dage to the present day II Frazer's Nag.

Young Lady I'm a ScraPe--Hoops
and High Heels Ann Church,
The Richmond Whig says:


ga few Sundays ago, modest young
gentleman of our acquaintance attended
the morning service in one of our fash
ionable churches. He was kindly shown
In luxuriously cushioned pew, and had
hardly settled himself, and taken an OBJ
servation of his neighbors, before beau
titul young lady entered, and with grace.
ful wave of the hand preventing our
friend from rising to give her place, quiet
y sunk into seat near the end. When
hymn was given out, she skillfully found
the page, and with aquiet smile that sent
his heart humping, handed her neigh.
Dor the book. The minister raised his
hands in prayer, and the fair girl knelt,
and in this posture perplexed our friend
to know which most to admire her beauty
or her devotedness. Presently the pray
er ws concluded, and the congregation
resumed their seats Our friend respect
fully raised his eyes from the fair form he
had been so earnestly scanning, lest when
she looked up, she would detect him star
ing at her. After aeouple of seconds he
darted furtive glance at his ,charmer
and was astonished to see her still on her
knees; he looked closely, and saw she
was much affected, trembling in violent
agitation no doubt from the eloquent
power of the preacher, Deeply synpa-
thizing, he watched her closely. Her
emotion became more violent; reaching
her hand behind her, she would convul-
sively grasp her clothing, and strain, as
it Were, to rend the brilliant fabric of her
dress. The sight was exceedingly pain
full to behold, but he still gazed like one
entranced, with wonder and astonishment.
After minute the lad raised her face,
heretofore concealed 81 Ehion, and
with her hand madas! zsstakeable
beckon to our friend Hgqufckly moved
along the pew towards her, and inclined
his ear as she evidently wished to say
something,
"Please help me sir, she whispered,
"my dress has caught, and can't get up"
A brief examination revealed the cause of
of the difficulty; the fair girl wore fash
ionable high-heeled shoes; kneeling upon
both knees, these heels of course stuck
out at right angles; and in this position
the highest hoop of her new tangled skirt
caught over them, and thus rendered it
impossible for her to raise herself or
straighten her limbs. The more she
struggled the tighter she was bound; 20
she was constrained to call for help
This was Immediately, if mot scientifically
rendered and when the next prayer was
made, she merely inclined herself uron
the back of the front pew-thinking, NO
doubt, that she was not in praying cos
tune.
