HONORABLE CoND1r1oNs.-Many years

HONORABLE CoND1r1oNs.-Many years
ago, in what is now fourishing city
in this State, lived a stalwart blacksmith,
fond of his pipe, and of his joke. De
was also fond of his blooming daughter,
whose many graces and charms had
ensnarcd the affections of a susceptible
young printer. The couple, after a
season of mutual billing and cooing,
Engaged" themselves, and nothing but
the consent ofthe young lady's "parient
prevented their union. To obtain this,
an interview was arranged, and Typo
prepared a little speech to astonish aud
convince the old gentleman, who sat
enjoying his pipe in perfect content
Typo dilated upon the fact of their long
friendship, mutual attachment and hopes
for the future, and like topics, and taking
the daughter by the hand, said :" l now,
sir, ask your permission to transplant
this lovely flower from it's parent bed"-,
but his "phelinks" overcome him, he
forgot the remainder Of his rhetorical
flourish blushed, stammered and finally
wound up with" from its parent bed,
into my own y The father keenly
relished the discontinue OF the suitor,
and after removing his pipe and blowing
a cloud replied =: Well young man,
l don't know as have any objections,
proAided you marry the gall first !"

RELIGIOUS EXCITEMENT IN New YoRK
CuY-The New York correspondent of
the Philadelphia Ledger, writing on the
2sth ultimo, says:
The prayer meeting excitement ap-
pears to have reached its eliminating
point, in many of the churches to-day.
Some of the clergy, in the Baptist and
Methodist Churches, related facts and
incidents which would almost justify
the suspicion that some mighty superna-
tural agency was at work, turning over
mems minds from the pomps and vanities
of this wicked world, and all the sinful
lusts Of the flesh, to the Kingdom that
is not of this world" Men have come
forward voluntarily and made restitu-
tion of ill-gotten gains, from ten cents
up to hundreds and hundreds of dollars,
while others who have been leading a
life of fragrant sins for years past, have
all at once by means of the spiritual
grace received at the daily prayer meet
ing, become servants of the Lord.

V1Ner-UN.-We have a friend--or,
with the emphasis Of the inimitable
Toodles, we have a friend, who, for.
the nonce, we shall call : the Major"
though his right to the prefix is some
what questionable. Now the Major has
had, through life, one besetting sin, and
that is an unconquerable love Of GER
tain game of cards known as vingt-un,
which is the French for twenty-one.
This well known game, a fat wife and a
large family, are about the only weak
ness that can be laid to the Majors
charge. How often he has been married
the record sayeth not, nor is it important.
Suffice it that during over thirty odd
years of the Majors welded life, as his
wealth increased and his hairs became
gray, one after another, in regular sue
cession, his. board was honored with the
presence of miniature editions of him
self, until the number had reached
twenty, when the Major concluded things
had gone far enough should be stopped.
But they didn't, as the Major in due
time found out, for he had calculated
without consulting his wife. There,
were indications of another bond Of
union and well spring Of happiness.
The Major became nervous, for his
nomenclature was exhausted. In his
he finally declared that the
coming heir to his name and fortunes,
whether boy or girl, should be named
Vingt-Un.
In vain the old woman demonstrated.
The Major was inexorable. The new
conner, being the twenty-frst, should
wag his way through life with that
appropriate title. In an anteroom the
Major awaited the announcement Of the
little strangers sex. The nurse ap-
peared, and to the Majors horror,
whispered the terrible little word
twins | Busted, by thunder" yelled
the Major, "why didn't l stand on
twenty 7"
