SERIO-COMIC ACCIDENTAL CHURCH
.-.a VOMIT.,

Last Sabbath was quarterly meeting of the M.
E. Church, and as usual on such occasions, the
the sacrament was administered After the meet
ing adjourned, the members went their several
ways, someto dine with friends in town, some to
their homes in the country. In about a hour, the
doctors were in requisition in every direotion--the
whole membership was seized with a eimultane-
Gus bilious attack and the demand for remedial
agents WAS general. The first smell of the sump-
tuous dinners prepared provoked sudden and in
quotations on the part of all the ortho-
dox members of the respective families. The VEN
cradle Peter Cartwright, presiding elder, for whom
extra preparations had of course been made, re-
tired from the prospect, as dinner came on, a lit
tie bent over, with both hands placed below his
vest buttons, declaring that he didn't feel like
eating One brother is said to have made for his
house, half bent, and with a groan tumbled OF
the bed. and in reply to his wife's Whats the
matter p exclaimed, in a despairing tone, o !
I've got the cholera The epidemic spread all
through the country exciting considerable alarm
and cccasiouing a general casting up account.
But the panic subsidized when it was ascertained
that Antimonial wine had been, by mistake, ad-
ministered to the whole body of Communicates
We understand that Uncle Peter said it was the
first time he ever knew an attempt to vomit the
devil out of the church, Although it was a 30
rious matter. the sinners, owing to the hardness
Of their hearts, did laugh.

TO ACQUIRE A BEAUTIFUL FORM.

Take abundant exercise in the open air, free. at
%tractive, joyous exercise, such as young girls,
when not restrained by false and artificial propri-
cities, are wont to take. If you are in the country,
or can get there, ramble over the hills and through
the woodlands, hunt bird-nests, and chase butter
flies. Be o romp. even though you may be no lon
er a little girl. IF you are a wife and a mother.
so much the better. Romp with your children.
Attend also to your bodily positions in standing,
sitting, lying. and walking, and employ such gen.
eral OF special gymnastics as your case may re-
quire Live, while indoors, in well-yentilated
rooms take sufficient wholesome and nourishinp
food, at regular hours; keep the mind active and
cheerful, in short. obey all the laws of health.
Take a lesson from the English girl, as described
in the following extract
"The English girl spends more than one half of
her working hours in physical amusements; that
is, in a%musements which tend to deyelope, and in
vigorate, and ripen the bodily powers. She rides,
walks, drives, rows upon the water, runs, dances,
plays, swings, jumps the rope, throws the ball,
hurls the QUOT. draws the bow, keeps up the
shuttlecook, and all this without having il forey-
er impressed upon her mind that she is thereby
wasting her time. She does this every day, until
il becomes a habit, which she will follow 10
through life. Her frame, as a necessary conse-
quence, is larger. her muscular system better de-
seioped, her nervous system in subordination to
the physical, her strength more enduring, and the
whole tone of her mind healthier. She may not
know so much at the age Of seventeen as the Am
erican girl as a general thing she does not, but
the growth of her intellect has been slim ulated by
no hot-house culture, and though maturity comes
later, it will last prOportionably longer."-H Hints

A COLLEGE RAT.

In my college rooms at Christ Church, q bach
elor rat had taken up his quarters, but where
these quarters we're | never could find he used
to appear on the floor when all was quiet, and
disappear again on the slightest noise. | never
could catch him, but he was q terrible nuisance,
for he made a great noise running about during
the night. The scout used to put out the break
fast before the chapel hour, and when /
returned | frequently found marks of the rats
paws and teeth on the butter-pat. What be-
came of him in the long vacation | could not tel,
on my return to the rooms he soon reappeared.
AT last / found his retreat: it was under a heap
of papers on a s;de-table. and he had made his
nest in an old college cap. He had lined it with
pieces gnawed off the carpet, and had made a fine
store of provisions in the shape Of bits of bread
cake and cheese. and everything edible he could
about. The collection was SO various that |
made q catalogue at the time.

A RAT-sKIN SUIT.

An ingenious individual of Liskeard, Cornwall,
has for some time past been exhibiting himself in
a dress composed from top to toe of rat-skins
which be has been collecting for three years and a
half. The dress was made entirely by himself;
it consists Of hat, neckerchief, coat, waistcoat,
tIowsers, tippet, CATERS and shoes. The number
of rats required to complete the suit vas six hun
bred and seventy and the individual, when thus
dressed, appears exactly like one of the Esqui-
maux described in the travels of Parry and Ross.
The tippet, or boa, is composed of the pieces of
skin Immediately round the tail of the rats, and
is q very curious part of the dress, containing
about six hundred tails-and those none Of the
shortest.

A YANKEE STORY.

The Yankees, ] am told, take advantage Of the
cannibal propensi;ies in the rats. A clever Yankee
being much troubled with rats, and being deter
mined to get rid of them, tried every possible plan,
but without success. AT last he got a lot of rats
and shut them in a cage: they dcvoured one an
other till only a single one was left. He then
turned this one loose, who, excited with tho blood
of lis fellow-rats, and having become a genuine
cannibal, killed and ate all the wild rats he could
find on the premises.

Amid the eager throDg,
Preaching like Paul at Ephesus,
In burning words and strong.
Again l see a lonely man,
OF spirit sad and mild,
Who hath his little dwelling place .
Amid a region wild.
The wild flowers of the desert
Grow round him thick as weeds,
And, in their beautiful array,
Of holy things he reads.
The red is the dear blood of Christ,
The white, the pure from sin,
The yellow is the seamless robe
Christ was appareled in.
All four-leaved flowers bring to bis mind
The cross whereon he died
And every thorn the cruel spear,
That pierced his blessed side.
/ see him as he unused one day
Beneath a forest bower.
With clasped hands stand, and upturned eyes,
Before an open flower;
Enchanting with a fervent Joy,
81 have found the Passion-howerl
1.-THE Passion of our blessed Lord,
With all his pangs and pain.
Set forth within a little flower,
In shape and color plainl
Behold the ladder and the cord
With which his limbs were tied;
Behold his five deep, cruel wounds
In hands, and feet. and side.
behold the hammer and the nails;
The bloody crown of thorn;
And these his precious tears, whom left
Of God and man %forlorn!
"Up, I will forth into the world, .
And take this flower with me,
To preach the death of Christ to all,
As it has preached to meW
And thus the good old passion-Aower
Throughout the world was sent,
To breathe into all Christian hearts
Its holy sentiment.
And in the after-times, when kings
OF Christian fathers came;
And to profess the faith of Christ
No longer purchased shame:
When abbeys rose in lowered state
And over wood and dell,
Went sounding, with a royal voice,
The stately minster-bell:
Then was the abbey-garden madu
All with the incest care;
Its little borders quantity cut
In fancies rich and rare.
And there they brought all %curions plants,
With sainted names; q flower
For every saints day of the year,
For every holy hour
And there was set. in pride Of place,
The noble passion-fower.
Ard there they kept the pious monks,
Within a garden small,
All plants that had a healing power,
All herbs medicinal.
And thither came the sick, the MANNED,
The moonstruck and the blind,
For holy flower. for wort of power
For charmed roo, and rind
Oh. those old abbey -gardens,
With their devices rich,
Their fountains, and green, solemn walks,
And saint in many q niche!
l would l could call back again
Those gardens in their pride,
And see slow walking up and down
The abbot dignifed.
And the fat monk with sleepy eyes,
Half doing in bis cell
And him, the poor lay-brother,
That loved the flowers 90 we'll
That laid the ~abbey-gardens out,
With all their fancies quaint,
And loved a little flower as much
AS his own patron saint
That gardened late and early,
And tw;ned into a bower,
Wherein be set the cruoifx,
The good old possion-Aoweri
Oh, would I could bring back sgsin
Those abbey gardens old.
And see the poor lay-brothsr
So busy in the mould;
Tying up his flowers and thinking
The while, with streaming eyes,
OF Jesus in the garden.
Of Eve in Paradissi

So Nancy got the punishment that she
did not deserve then, and which she did de-
serve the day before, and neither grandmoth-
er or baby attempted to defend her, for the
first was by this time weeping bitterly over
the slandered innocent, and the said inno-
cent was too highly amused at the grotesaue

under the inaiction, to do,anything butto
clap her little hands and laugh merrily.
