THE Course OF True LOVE NEVER
DID Run SMooTH.-The Grand Rapids
mich Eagle, gives the following 'lit-
tie affair :"
A lady came to this city few days
since from Detroit, in pursuit of her
husband, who had left her bed and
board probably without Just cause or
provocation,' and had taken up his resi-
dence here with a snug little 'grass-wid-
ow,' as boarder The deserted wife
learning the whereabouts Of her liege
lord and the state of affairs, and think
ing that she 'smelt mice'-that all was
not right-procured the necessary doc
uments, yesterday, and had the twain
arrested for adultery. This summary
process brought the parties together
and resulted in an amicable adjustment
Of all the difficulties. They held secret
converse together, giving good reasons
for their past conduct, and explaining
satisfactorily all the dark passages in
their transactions of the few past weeks
when husband and wife took each other
for better or worse to their 'buzzims
again and returned to their homes ir
the City of the Straits.

ASKING LEAVE TO GAPE.-The New
Haven Register tells this good one: A
few nights since, owing to an accident,
the Springfield train did not reach
Hartford until late, and, in consequence,
those awaiting its arrival at the station,
had tedious time of it. Among them
was demure looking Yankee, inclined
to have nap-fxing his feet on the
upper round of his chair, he leaned
back against the wall, and 'went at it.
He was not fairly under way, however
when he was tapped on the hat by one
of the officials, and told that sitting up
sleeping was not allowed in the depot.
'Eh J calculated the astonished
sleeper, mo sitting up and sleeping {!
No, sir-agin the rules of the com
pany,' said the official.
well, | declare, replied the other,
this is mean place Won't you ask
the companyifl mayn't gape;' following
up his query with Stretch that put
the officious official to instant flight.

PLUNGING VS.. SPRINKLING.-About
thirty-fve years ago, there lived in the
town of H., certain DR.. T., who be-
came very much enamored of a beauti.
tul young lady, who resided in the same
town. In the course of time they were
engaged to be married. The DIR. was
a strong and decided Presbyterian
His lady love was a strong and decided
Baptist. They were sitting together
one evening talking of their approach
ing nup'ials, when the doctor remarked;
Il am thinking, my dear, of two
events which shall number among the
happiest of my life.
And pray, doctor, what may that
be 2 remarked the lady.
The one is the hour when | shall
call you wife for the first time
And the other?'
1T is when we shall present our first
born for baptism
What, sprinkling?'
Yes, my dear, sprinklIng.'
Never shall a child OF mine be
sprinkled.'
Every child Of mine shall be sprin-
kled.'
They shall be, ha?'
Yes, my love-
well, sir, can tell you then, that
your babies won't be my babies. So
good night sir
The lady left the room, and the doc
tor left the house. The sequel to this
story was that the doctor never married
and the lady is an old maid.

PEANUT EATERs.-A couple of fel
lows strolled into colored church at
Hartford, short time since, to enjoy
the fin; but when the colored minister
rose up to preach, before announcing
his text, he leaned forward on the pull
pit and looked slowly around on his
congregation.
Brethren, saidhe, may de Lord hab
mercy on all de scoffers.'
A long pause.
May de Lord hab mercy on all de
lafers.'
Solemn pause.
May de Lord hab mercy on de two
peanut eaters down by de door,
The young men did not wait to hear
the benediction.'

child looked into the mill stream.
Where the fish glide in and out,
The dace with the coat of silver,
And the crimson spotted trout.
He plays with the diamond waters,
He talks to the droning bees.
He sings and the birds sing with him,
He runs as to catch the breeze
A perfume from the wood and meadow
Is wandering around the boy;
He is twining garland of lilacs,
And joyous he thinks not of Joy.
He prays in the eve and morning,
For the heavens seem always near.
And he thinks that each childish murmur
Is a charm that the angels hear.
o Lifel o beautiful picture
0 light and perfume, and Lowell
y the grace of the heart that is tender
0 the dream that can lift us abovei
y Life no longer problem,
But something to see and enjoy,
A brightness on stream and on meadow,
A breeze round dancing boy.
Back. back to the fair blue morning
Of wild Hope and fancy wild,
Let me watch the fish in the mll-stream
With the eyes and the heart of child.
