B.ing late at night, almost every one had
left this popular exchange of the great
Northwestern metropolis, and the clerk

Daniel Webster told the following an
ccdo,e Of old Father Searl, the minister Of
his boyhOod. 1t was customary then to
wear buckskin breeches in cold weather.
Onc Sunday morning in autumn Father
Scarl brought his brecches down from the
garret; but the wasps had taken posses-
sion during the summer, and were having
a nice time of i! il them. BY an effort,
he got out the iutruders and dressed for
meeting. But while reading the Scripture
to the congregation, he felt dagger from
one of the enEagcd small wasted fellows,
aud jumped around the pulpit slapPing
bis thighs. But the more he slapped and
danced, the more they stung. The people
thought he was crazy; but he explained
the matter, by saying, "Brethren, dom
be alarmed f; the word Of the Lord is in
my mouth, butthe Devil is iu my brecches..' -

A DIFFICULT QUESTION ANSWERED.
Can any one tell why, when Eve was
manufactured from one Of Adams ribs,
hired girl was not made at the same time
TO wait on her? We can, easy. Be
cause Adam never came whining to Eve
with a ragged stocking to be darncd, col
lar string to be sewed on, or a glove to
mend, "right away, quick, now.' Be
cause be never read the newspaper until
the sun got down behind the palm trees,
and then, stretching himself, yawned out
"Ain't supper most ready, my dear 2
No, he. lie made the FIRE, and hung the
teakettlo over it himself, we'll venture,
and pulled the radishes, peeled the bananas
and did everything else be ought to. He
MIXED the cows, fed the chickens. and
looked after the pigs himself. He never
brought half a dozen friends to dinner,
when Eve hadn't any fresh pomegranates,
and the mango season was over. lie
never stayed out till eleven o'clock to
"ward meeting" hurrahing for an out
and-out candidate, and then scolded be-
cause poor Eve was sitting up and crying
inside the gates. He never played bill
lizards, and drove fast horses, nor ehoked
Eve with cigar smoke. He never loafcd
around corner groceries while solitary
Eve was rocking little Gains cradle at
home. In short, be didn't tbiuk she was
especially created for the purpose of wal
ting on him, and wasn't under tie impress
sion that it disgraced man to tighten his
wifes cares little. That's the reason
that Eve did not need hired girl, AID
we wish it was the reason that none Of

of the body The liver becomes torpid and fails to
secrete not ouy this virus, but also the bile from
the blood Both the virus and the bile accumulate
