STORY OF AN INFIDFL,-UP in Ten
nesee once there was a camp-meeting
held ina notorious neighborhooi and
when at the close of the exercises, the
hat was sent round, roll of notes,
about fifty dollars was found. The
brethren in9hose parts, in those days
being rather poor, considerable specu-
lation was had as to where the fifty
dollars came from and next year it
was decided to keep an eye on the hat
and see if it was done over again.
Sure enough, next years meeting tn ere
was another fifty inst as before, and it
was traced to an infidel reviling coun-
try store-keeper near the camp, and
who was never known to say or do a
good thing for Gods people. So the
elders called the man aside, and said /:
Did you put that ere fifty in the hat ?"
We'll | did !" Mistake, amt it %
No, sirs / never make mistakes.
ITS all right. Afore you chaps cum
around these diggin's preaching, 1
couldn't keep ne'er shoat, nor year
ling no whar, and lost a powerful
sight of truck: and now gentlemen,
keeps the most of theml It's a pay
tng business to keep you here, and
goes in for it,"

earth was an immense ball of matter,
heated to the melting point. That it
has since been undergoing a gradual
cooling process by which crust has
been formed, some biologists say fifty
miles, but which he does not believe to
be over twenty-five miles in thickness.
upon this crust " we live, move. and
have our being From the innate
tendency of all substances to contract
while cooling, and to expand while
heating, this crust is drawn to an i'm
mense degree of tension over the mass
OF interior melted matter; solar aud
lunar Influences acting upon the crust
under this pressure of tension cause it
to crack and break like the ice upon
the sea, forming deep assures through
which air and water gradually force
their way into the depths of the earth,
reaching. the heated matter, where the
air is expanded and the water convert
ed into steam. In this state they rush
along under the crust with rumbling
sound, bending and warping it, form
ing mountain ranges and ocean beds,
hills and valleys; topping over houses
and prostrating men and animals until
it exhausts itself or weak point is
reached. when it breaks forth, swallow
ing up everything within its reach.

Dealing with Thieves.

The following true story is told of
Jacob Sheaf, ESQ.,, merchant in
Portsmouth, in former times:
A man had purchased some wool of
him, which had been weighed and
paid for, and Mr.. Sheafe had gone to
the back room to get change for a
note. Happening to turn his head
while there, be saw in a glass, which
swung so as to reflect the shop, q
stout arm reach up and take from the
shelf heavy white oak cheese In
stead of appearing suddenly. and re-
buking the man for his theft, as an
other would, thereby losing his custom
forever, the crafty old gentleman gave
the thief his change, as if nothing had
happened and then, under the pre-
tence of lifting the bag to lay it on the
horse for him, took hold of it, and ex-
claimed
"Why bless me, | must have rec
koned the weight wrong"
"Oh, no ~ said the other, "you
may be sure you have not, for | coup-
ted with YOU"
"Well, well, we won't dispute the
matter, its SO easily tried" said Mr..
S., putting the bag into the scales
again. There, said he. Il told you
so; knew / was right-made mis-
take of nearly twenty pounds how

The Creation.

The Wilmington Republican says
that Prof. Boyton has delivered FIVE
lectures in that city, on the Creation
of the World, of which that journal
gives the following summary -
His theory appears to be that the
earth existed in the beginning of time;
that it was in a, molten state, without
form and void; that as 1t cooled the
crust was formed, and in the lapse of
ages vegetation sprung up rank and
luxurious; the lower types of reptiles,
those which conid exist in the presence
of large quantity of carbon, appear
ed; huge monsters, some of them ten
times as large as an elephant, and birds
16 or 20 feet high, whose weight he es-
timated at 600 or 500 lbs. From the
great growth of vegetable matter the
Goals beds were formed in which large
quantities of carbon were locked up,
and the earth and air were thus prepar-
ed for the existence of manupon whose
creation the great Creator rested from
his work. This was proven by the
deposits in the rocks, which he regard
ed as reliable history of the world.
He argued that the carbon in the coal
and lime could all be set free, the air
would be destructive to the life OF man
and the higher class Of animals, while
the lower classes, such as frogs, toads,
and reptiles would not be seriously af-
fected. He had proven this by ex-
periments Pigeons died in ten min
utes when the air was filed with car
bon the rat lived ten minutes as long
while the frog and toad did not seem
to be injured in the least.
In speaking of earthquakes, the Pro-
| fessor said that at the creation the

Salutation.

The expressions used as saIutations
among different nations, have some
thing characteristic and interesting.
even for the most casual observer.
In the East, some of these express
sions SAVIOR, in more or less degree,
of the Scriptures, and of the serene
and patriarchal sentiment of the inhab-
itants. The salutation used by the
Arab, "Salem,n or "Shalum,n means
peace, and is found in the word Jeru-
salem. The Arab salutes his friend
thus, "May you have happy morn
ing"
The Turks have formula which
can only be used in a sunny cline
May your shadow never be less"
The climate of Egypt is feverish,
and perspiration is necessary to health,
hence the Egyptian meeting you, asks,
How do you perspire 2"
Have you eaten !? Is your stom-
ach in good order ?" asks the China
man, touching solicitude which can
only be appreciated by nation of
gourmands.
GOOD cheer" says the modern
Greek, in nearly the same language
that the ancients were wont to greet
their friends.
The Romans, who were robust, and
laborious, had energetic salutations,
expressing force and action :-"Salve"
-"be strong" ''be healthy" and
Gould facias ?"- "What do you {" or
"What make you 2"
The Genoese, of modern times, say,
Health and wealth." which is very
appropriate for commercial people.
The Neapolitan devoutly says,
"grow in sanctity" The How stand
you 2" of almost all Italy, forcibly in
dicates the nonchalaice of the sunny
land.
The Spaniard, grave, naughty, and
Indifferent, wishes you ''Good morn
ing" to which we respond, At your
service, SIR"
The ordinary salutation of the Ger
man is, "How goes 2" To bid one
adieu. he says, "Iive quiet and happy"
This last plainly exhibits his love for
the simple joys Of life.
The travelling Hollander asks Hoe
warts go Pillow do you go ?''
The thoughtful, active Swede demands,
"Of what do you think Z" while the
Dane, more placid, uses the German
expression, Live well, "-"Live WELL
But the greeting of the Pole is best
of all Are you happy 7"
The English have the Good bye,"
a corruption of the words "God be
with you," and some others; but that
which exhibits best the character of
the English, is, How do you Go ~
The Comment "vonz porter vous ?"
of the French, How do you carry
Yourself" is equally characteristic of
the free and easy Frenchman.

Fun at Home.

DON'T be afraid of little fun at
home, good people. Don't shut up
your house lest the sun fade your car
pets; and your hearts, lest hearty
laugh should shake down some of the
musty old cobwebs there IF you want
to ruin your sona, let them think that
all mirth and social enjoyment must be
left on the threshold without, when
they come home atnight When once
home IS regarded as only place to
eat, drink, and sleep in, the work is
begun that ends in gambling houses
and reckless degradation. Young peo-
Pile must have fun and'reIaxation some
where if they do not find it at their
own hearthstones, it will be sought in
other, and perhaps less profitable.
Therefore let the FIRE burn brightly at
night, and make the home-nest delight
full with all those little arts that pa
rents so perfectly understand.
Don't repress the bouyant spirits of
your children; half an hour of merri-
ment around the lamp and freight Of
a home blots out the remembrance of
many care and annoyance during the
day, and the best safeguard they can
take with them into the world is the
unseen influence of bright little do
nestle sanctum.

Alfred and the Beggar.

ALFRED THE GREAT, who died in the
year 900, was man of a most amiab,e
disposition, and, we would hope, of
genuine piety. During his retreat at
Athelney, in mersetshire, after his
defeat by the Danes, beggar came to
his little castle, and requested aims.
His queen informed Alfred that they
had but one small loaf remaining, which
was insufficient for themselves and
friends, who were gone in search of
food though with little hope of success.
The king replied =
Give the poor christian one half
of the loaf He that could feed FIVE
thousand men with five loaves and two
fishes, can certainly make the half loaf
suffice for more than our necessity"
The poor man was accordingly re-
lieved, and Alfred's people shortly af-
ter returned with store of fresh pro-
visions

On another occasion, Mr.. Sheafe

thus detected by the shrewd dealer,

Where is my Mother now she lives no more on

Her spirit took its fight long years ago;
Why need weep that she has gone,
Is not this-world home Of weary want and
woe?
Where the pretty birding dies. and sunsmers
pass away;
Where flowers bloom in the morning, and fade
at close of day
Where is my Mother now notin the easy chair,
BY her. fayorite window, where the sunbeams
lay,
Across the open Bible, on the little stand,
Just she left them, when she went away.
The flowers beside the easement, seem to weep
that she is gone,
And puss sits by the empty chair, and looks so
sad and lone
Where is my Mother now ? the roses by the
door,
Bloom not as they used to do, in days gone
bye;
In vain trim and train them, and water with
my tears,
The pretty buds just open then they
droop and die.
'Twas dear Mother placed them there, and they
miss her careful hind.
But she is gathering roses in fairer, happier
land
Where is my Mother now I? sometimes dream
ing think,
That see her once again in yonder chair;
oh, then I'm happy, the house seems bright
with joy,
And the sunbeams nerer were so bright and
Then Father smiles so kindly, and the roses
bloom red
But, ali, | woke, to kM0ac alas that Mother
dear is dead
Where is my Mother now? God took her home,
And her frail body rests in the grave to-day;
Why should weep? He doeth all things WE'LL

The Judges Saw Logs.

IN the village OF W., lived a
man who had once been Judge of the
county and was known all round by
the name of Judge l.. He kept
store and saw mill, and was always
sure to have the best of bargain on
his side, by which means he had gain
ed an ample competency, and some
did not hesitate to call him the {" big
gest rascal in the world !" He was
very conceited withal, and used to de-
light in Dragging of his business capa-
city when any one was near to listen.
One rainy day, as quite number was
seated round the stove in the store, he
began as usual to tell of his great bar
gains, and finally wound up with, "No-
body ever cheated me nor they can't,
neither"
f" Judge said an old man of the com
pany, give cheated you MORN you
ever did me-"
How 2" said the Judge.
If you promise me you won't go
to law about it, nor do nothin', I'll
tell or else | won't; you are too
much of law character for me p
Let's hear let's heart" cried
half dozen voices at once.
well bear you out in it-go on A"
I'm promise" said the Judge,
"and treat in the bargain if you have "
"Well, do you remember that wag-
on you robbed me OFF"
never robbed you out of any
wagon" exclaimed the Judge; "I
only got my own :"
Well, made up my mind to have
it back, and"
But you never did 2" cried the
Judge.
Yes, [ did, and interest too !"
How ?" Numbered the now enra-
ged Judge.
Well, you see, Judge, / sold you,
one day, very nice pine log, and bar
gained with you for lot more. Well
that log / stole off your pile down at
the mill the night before, and next
day | sold it to you. That night I
drew it back home; and sold it to you
next day, and so | kept on until you
bought your own log of me twenty
seven times /"
That's an internal lie y cried the
mad Judge, running to his books and
examining his log accounts; "you
never sold me twenty-seven logs of
the same measurement
"I know it," said the vender in
logs, "By drawing it back and forth
the end wore off and, as it wore |
kept cutting the end off until it was
only ten feet long-!just fourteen feet
shorter than it was the first time you
bought it and when it got so short,
I drew it home and worked it up into
shingles, and the next week you bought
the shingles, and then I concluded ]
had got my wagon back-and in my
pocket book"
The exclamation of the Judge was
drowned in the shouts of the bystan-
ders, and the log-drawer found the
door without waiting for the promised
treat. And to see mailman, yor
have only to ask the Judge if he was
ever shaved

RAILROAD DISASTER. A railroad
accident took place a short time ago
in this State, upon which occasion the
attorney of the road visited the scene
of disaster, to satisfy the claims of
the injured parties After paying for
black eyes, bloody noses, and cracked
crowns all around, at the appraised of
the injured he supposed his business
over, when he was saluted by tall
Yankee, with feet like snow shoes, a
bell-crowned hat, and blue coat over
arm, with
Wall, Squire, what are you going

Oh, nowhere to speak of, Squire,

The dollar came, of course.
