Old HOsS You're too Late.

From aboard the steamboats, come some
of the most laughable yarns on record, and
from gentleman who was lately passen-
have the following, which will, we think,
bear reading:
"Among the passengers was pair who
looked like runaways: the gentleman was
a tall, raw bone specimen of the "half
horse, half-alligator" cuss, and the lady
fair match for him. At one of the stop
ping places there came on board very
solemn looking gentleman, who was i'm
mediately set down as a preacher. About
nine o'clock at night, says our friend,
while | was conversing with the "rever
end' gentleman, young man stepped up
and addressing him, remarked, we're GO
ing to have a wedding, and would like 20
have you officiate" 'AlI right, sir" he
replied, and he stepped into the cabin
where, sure enough, the above mentioned
couple stood waiting.
"There had been some kissing games"
and several mock marriages gone through
with during the evening, and | supposed
this was merely continuation of the
sport; and so thought the preacher"
who, could see, had good deal of hu
NOR in him, and was inclined to promote
general good feeling and merriment. The
couple stood up before him, (n good deal
more solemn than was necessary in a mock
marriage, | thought,) and the preacher"
asked them the necessary question, aud,
then, proceeding in the usual way, pro-
n Il
''There was agood deal of fun afterward,
and when 1t was over | left the cabin
and so did the preacher" who remarked
to me that he liked to see the young folks
enjoy themselves. and took good deal of
pleasure in contributing to their fun but
he did not understand why they should Sc
lect him to act as preacher.
"Just then some one called me aside, and
the old gentleman stepped into the state
room, which was next TO mine. When
returned, the door stood open, and the
preacher" stood just inside, with his coat
and vest off, and one boot in his hard,
talking with the gentleman who PLAYED the
"attendant," and who, as | came up, re-
marked, "well, if that Is the case, it is a
good joke, for they were in dead earnest,
and have retired to the same state room"
"The old gentleman raised both hands,
as he exclaimed, 'Good heavens you
don't tell me so!' and rushing just as he
was, boot in hand to the state-room indi-
Gated, commenced an assault on the door
as if he would batter it down, excIaming
at each lick, For heavens sake don't, /

BOYS, HELP Your MoruER.-We have
seen from two to six great hearty boys
sitting by the kitchen stove, toasting their
feet and cracking nuts or jokes, while their
mother, slender woman, has gone to the
wood d-pile for wood, to the well for water,
or to the meat house to cut frozen steak
for dinner. This is not as it should be.
There is much work about the house too
hard for woman. Heavy lifting, hard
extra steps which should be done by those
more able. Boys don't let your mother
do it all, especially if she is feeble wo-
man. Dull, prosy house-work is irksome
enough at best. 1t is long work, too, it
being impossible to tell when it is quite
done, and then on the morrow the whole
is to be gone over with again. There is
more of it than one is apt to think. We
wish some busy, all-day house worker, the
arrangement Of whose house is about as
inconvenient as it can be, no uncommon
state of things, would count her steps for
one day, and let us have the result in miles,
let it be noted how many times she goes
into the cellar, to the wood-pile, to the
pump, up. and down stairs, and especially
how many times from the stove to the but
tery.-Morning Star

A BE eautffuI ParaeraDh.

The man who stands upon his own
soil, who feel that by the laws of the land
in which he lives-by the laws of civilized
nations-he is the rightful and exclusive
owner of the toll he tilIs, is by the consti
tuition of our nature under wholesome
influence not easily imbibed by any other
source. He feels, other things being
equal, more strongly than another, the
character of man as lord Of the inani-
mate world Of this great and wonderful
sphere which fashioned by the hand OF
God, aud upheld by His power, is rolling
through the heavens, part Of his-his
from the centre to the sky.-It is the space
on which the generrtion before moved in
its rounds of duties and he feels himself
connected by link with those who follow
him, and to whom he is to transmit a
home. Perhaps farm has come down
to him from his fathers. They have gone
to their last home; but he can trace their
footsteps over the scenes of his daily la
bors. The roof which shelters him was
reared by those to whom he owes his being.
Some interesting domestic tradition is con-
nected with every enclosure. The favor
ite fruit tree was planted by his fathers
hand. He sported in boyhood beside the
brook which still winds through the mea-
dow Through the field lies the path to
the village school of earlier days. He
still hears from the open window tie voice
Of ;he Sabbath bell which called his father
to the house of God; and near at hand is
the place where his parents laid down to
rest; and where, when his time shall come,
he shall be laid BY his children. These
are the feelings of the owner of the soil.
Words cannot paint them; they flow out of
the deepest fountains of the heart; they are
the life spring Of fresh, healthy and gen.
eral national character-EdwaH Ever-

" Yet he was patient and enduring"

one who had spoken of his perseverance
and endurance.
"No, sir; he died poor, as l have just
said. Nothing that he put his hands to

said the other, "and thought he died

No; he has left nothing behind" was
replied. "The heirs will have no con.

PREsIDESrs.-The following compila.
ton of curious condolences in the names
and lives Of the first seven Presidents of
the United States Washington, John
Adams, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, John
Quincy Adams, and Jackson,) is furnished
by the Boston Transcripts:
Four of the seven were from Virginia.
Two of the same name were from Massa-
chusetts, and the seventh was from Ten
nessee. Ell but one were sixty-six years
old on leaving office, having served two
terms; and one of them who had served
but one term would have been sixty-six
years of age a. the end of another. Three
of the seven died on the 4th of July, and
two of them on the same day and year
Two of them were on the sub, committee OF
three that draughted the Declaration OF
Independence, and these two died on the
same day and year, and on the anniversary
of the Decla alton of Independence, and
just half century from the day of Declar-
alton. The names of three of the seven
end in son, yet, none of these transmitted
his name to a son. In respect to the name
of all, it may be said, in conclusion, the in
itials of two of the seven were the same
and the initials of still two others were the
same. The remaining one who stands
alone in this particular, stands alone also
in the love and admiration of his country
men and the civilized Washing.
ton Of the first five. only one had son
and that son was also President.

How TO CURE BEBF.-To each hundred
pounds of beef, take one ounce and QUAR-
ter of saltpetre, two pounds and half of
brown sngar, five pounds Of Turk Island
salt, and two gallons and a half of water.
Put the whole in boiler, apply the vessel
to fire, and boil until the hard ingre-
dients are we'll dissolved, let it cool. and
pour it on the beef tightly packed, and
then pat a weight on it, and keep it cov-
cred. This will make the finest quality oi
beef.
