PUT THAT IM:UDENT RASCAL Our
While the congregation were collecting at
church on certain occasion, an old, hard
featured, skin and bono individual was
seen vending his way up the aisles, tax
ing his seat near the pulpit. The Off
ciating minister was one of that class
who detested written sermons, and as for
prayers, he thought they ought to be ma
tural outpourings of the heart. After
the singing was concluded, the house as
usual was called to prayer. The genins
we have mentioned did not kneel, but
leaned his head devotioually on the back
of his pew. The minister began by say
ing:
Father of all, in every age, by saint
and sage adored"-"Pope," said low
but clear voice, near old hard feature
The minister, after casting an indignant
look in the direction of the voice, contin-
ued-"whose throne sitteth on the ada.
mantine hills of Paradiso"--" Milton,
again interrupted tho voice. The minis.
ter's lips quivered for a moment, but re-
covering himself, he began-"we thank
Thee, most gracious Father, that we are
permitted TO assemble in thy name,while
others, equally meritorious, but less favor
ed, have been carried beyond that bourne
from whence no traveller returns
Shakespeare" Interrupted the voice.
This was too much. "Put that impu-
don't rescal out" shouted the minister

same calm but provoking manner

MIXING BABIEs.-Some time ago there
was dancing party given cup north,p
near Weaverville, Cal. Most Of the la
dies present had little babies, whose moi
sy perversity required too much atten-
tion TO allow the mothers TO enjoy the
dance. A number of gallant young men
volunteered to watch the young ones
while the parents indulged in "break-
down." No sooner had the women left
the babies in charge of the mischievous
devils, than they stripped the infants and
changed their cloths, giving to one the
apparel of another. The dance over, it
was time to 90 home, and the mothers
hurrledly took each baby, in the dress
of her own, and started, some of their
homes ten or fifteen miles of, and were
far on their way before daylight But
the day following there was prodigious
row in the settlement. Mothers discov-
cred that a single day had changed the
sex Of their babics--observation disclosed
startling physiological phenomena, and
then commenced some Of the tallest fe-
male pedestriansm. Living miles apart,
it required two days to unmix the babies,
and as many months to restore tho moth
ers to their naturally sweet dispositions.
To this day, il is unsafe for any of the
baby-mixers TO venture within the terri
tory. Bost Post.

From the New England Farmer.
Just Fifteen Years Ago.


I'm thinking Of the place, John,
Where oft we used to roam,
That little cot beneath the trees,
We called our forest home.
And well know you'll ne'r forget
Whater your lot below,
That dear old spot we loved so well,
Just fifteen years ago.
I'm thinking Of the school, John,
The master, too, so grim,
And how, when he would turn his back,
We twain would mimic him.
The master sleeps deaths dreamless Sleep,
The bright green turf below,--
Our childhoods home has vastly changed,
Since fifteen years ago.
Last summer time, I wandered, John,
To where we used to play;
The school house was not on the hill,
The brook had dried away;
The old mill-wheel had ceased to move,
The cottage was laid low
The faces were not those we knew
just fifteen years ago.
/ wandered to the churchyard, John,
And stepped beyond the wall
The graves were many, and the grass
Ger them grew thick and tall
Upon tue stones / read the names
OF those who slept below,
And they were names we loved 10 speak
Just fifteen yearsego.
With saddened heart 1 turned away,
And gained the dusty road,
And from the spot so dear to me,
With rapid step l strode;
/ could not bear to look around,
II made me sad to know
That all were gone whom we loved,
Just fifteen years ago.
My eyes are wet with tears, John,
They are falling while / write,
Friends that we loved are cold in death,
And / am sad to night;
But, John, our sorrows soon will end,
Life's stream will cease TO flow,
And we rest where first we played
just fifteen years ago.
