Princeton Kentuckian, the following is a
receipt for printers drink:
Take one pint of good whisky, stir
in well one spoonful of whisky, then
add another pint of whisky, beat care
fully with spoon, and keep pouring in
whisky. Fill large bowl with water,
and make the servant set it out of your

ROYAL ANECDoTE.--As Joseph H.,
Emperor of Austria, was driving his
one-hnrse cabriolet, dressed in the garb
Of a private citizen, he was accosted by
a soldier, who installing him for man
OF middle class, requested seat in the
vehicle
"Willingly," replied the Emperor;
',jump in, comrade, for I'm in hurry"
The soldier was soon seated alongside
Of the Emperor, and became very To-
quacicus.
Come comrade," said he, slapping
the Emperor familiarity on the back,
'Tare you good at guessing p
Perhaps l am" said Joseph, "try
me-"
"Well. then, my boy, conjure up your
wits, and tell me what 1 had for break
fast''
"Sour krout."
Come, none of that comrade, try it
a gain"
perhaps Westphalia ham," replied
the Emperor, willing to humor his COM
panion.
Better than that" exclaimed the
soldier.
"Sausages from Bologna, and Hook
heimer from the Rhine"
Better than that-d'ye give it upi"
81 do"
"Open your eyes and ears, then" said
the soldier, bluntly 81 had pheasant,
by Jove, shot in the Emperor Joe's
park, ha, ha ~
When the exultation of the soldier
had subsidized, Joseph said quietly:
81 want to try your skill in guessing,
comrade. See if you can name the rank
l hold"
"You're--no-hang it! you're not
smart enough for cornet.''
Better than that" said the Emper-
Or.
"a lieutenant ?"
Better than that"
"a captain2"
"Better than that

"Better than that"

The soldier was now fearfully agi-
lated: he had DOTTED his hat, and sat
! are-headed; he could scarcely articu-
late.
Pardon me, your excellency, you
ARE field MARSHALL"
Better than that" replied Joseph.
"Lord help me-" cried the soldier,
you are the Emperor"
He threw himself out of the cah4so-
lft, and knelt for pardon in the Z.
The circumstances were not forg s4
by either; the Emperor often laos ed
over it, and the soldier received Il marx
favor which he could not forget.

Once IN Grace A7ers IN Grace.-Rev.
Mr.. Adger, of Fulton county, Illinois, is
an old-fashioned Hard Shell Baptist.
The following, says Harper's Magazine,
is specimen of his style of oratory and
illustration, as reported by one who
heard it,

as follers:
"He makeM my feet as Arn's feet )"
which you all know has got three claws

impossible to slide back wards as it
W ould be for coon to come down a
IL zee head first, unless he slipped and

in mind NV somethin' to tell. Last sum-
mer killed coon IL my corn-feld an
sd we'd the skin. This winter l brought
til skin to town; but all the storekeep-
ers said it was NV no account, cause it
was kotched in the summer, and hadn't
no fur. | knowed it hadn't much fur on
to it, but it was big skin, an l tux
great pains in skinnin' on it; an tho't
if winter skins was lawful tender at a

l couldn't get pic for it, an at last

pocket an started for hum; but l hadn't
gone far lefore before l felt it working

was tickled enough when found it was
clean gone at last. But who can de-
scribe my feelings when a boy came
runnin' an hollerin', "IMr. Adgcr Mr..
Adsger? here's your coon-skin !"
Just so my brethring, with religion.
When man has wunst got it, he can't

JVoman's Heart.-There is a period
in the early life of every true woman,
says some writer, when moral and intel
lectual growth seem for time to cease
The intellectual having appropriated
such aliment as was requisite to the
growth of the uncrowned feminine ma
ture, feels the necessity of more intimate
companionsip with the masculine mind,
to start it upon its second period of de-
velopment. Here, at this point, some
stand for years without making step in
advance. Others marry and astonish,
in few brief years, by their sweet
temper, their noble womanhood, those
whose blindness led them to suppose
they were among the incurably heart
less and frivolous.
MODEL CoURTsHIP.-Rob Hall, the
most eloquent of Baptist clergymen
"proposed" to and married a servant
girl, because he was captivated by the
manner in which she put the Goals on,
in replenishing the fire. Abhorring the
usual long and tedious process of wooing
that is, turning for months with alter
nations of love and jealousy, if not, Ro-
ger De Coverley-hke, signing lifetime
for some unrelenting fair one-he brot
things instantly to a crisis. Betty, do
you love the Lord Jesus Chris. p 81
hope l do" "Then, Betty, you must
love me"-and, falling on his knees, he
begged her to marry him. And married
they were, and lived most happily
What an enormous consumption of '.the
stuff life is made Of" especially of the
precious "wee small hours ayant the
twal," might be avoided by the general
imitation of this example, we leave sta
tiscians and political economists to cal
culate.

A Hard Boy.-General Sir Charles
j: Napier tells the following story of
his childhood:
There was in Limerick a great coarse
woman, wife of DR.. -. When she
heard Of my misfortune she said, Poor
boy, l suppose fly kicked his spindle
shanks." Being little fellow then,
though now, be it known, FIVE feet sew
en- inches and a half high, this offended
me greatly; and as the Lord would
have it, she broke her own leg just as l
was getting well. Going to her house
with an appearance Of concern, I told
the servant how sorry l was that a bull
lock had kicked Mrs. - and hurt It's
leg very much, and that [ called to
know if her leg was also hurt. She
never forgave me.
This is very characteristic opening

DEAD LANGUAGES.

We regret TO see in the Ohio Journal
Of Education, a long article by Mr.. J. w.
Andrews, President of Marietta College,
strongly recommending the introduction
Of Lliin and Greek into the public
schools. as IAN integral part of the sys-
tenn" We object most decidedly
Those languages a only be pursued
with success in schools where erery pupil
is a classical student, and every thing is
subordinated TO the m purpose of at
tanning classical knowledge. Classical
schools there should be. There are a
fen minds in every countr- that can be
eourished best with the knowledge con
tanned in the ancient languages. Bur
there are only a few. ln a classical
school of one hundred boys. there are
usually about five who pursue their stu
dies with an intelligent enthusiasm, who
read Virgil and Cicero with a feeling fer
the meaning of the text, as well as an
understanding of its grammatical o
struciion. To the rest, the daily lesson
is mere mechanical drudgery. We
maintain that classical studies are a Spe
eioiiy that should not be provided for
from the peoples purse. Their intro
ductien into the public schools would
have many bad effects, adding greatly
TO the cost of construction, anil diminish
ing the general efficiency of the school,.
