RUNAWAY CAUGHT!

"Drive ahead, my boys" was the sage advice Of
one who knew the necessity Of constant exertiOn
in the accomplishment Of the designs and purposes
Of life. Drive ahead, keep about your business,
no matter what it may be, so long as il is honest,
and you are sure Of coming ont right side up in
the long run. II is not the man who is all impulse
to-day and petrihctiOn tomorrow, who succeeds
in lite but the constant though slow aborer in the
worlds vineyard. We have quite too many fast
men in the world for its good. They are Of no
special benefit to themselves, and certainly not to
anybody else. They are as unstable as waters to-
day one thing, and tomorrow something else al
ways doing something, but accomplishing nothing
The slow, undertaking worker is the driveahead
man, after all his labors, because constant, are
productive, benefceut, and useful.

Another naval officer, nearly as oIEhanded, wrote
thus to the Admiralty:

Ludicrous Scene.

The following ludicrous scene is copied fJh
an article In the April number Of, Blackwood,
entitled "Remonstrance with Dickens" .,,r
One Of the most shameful recollections Of our
almost irreproachable life lies at the door Of that
wag, Dickens We were attending service 10 4

been shown into pew already occupied BY two
old ladies. For time. we behaved with our
wonted decorum, till some absurdity committed
by the elder Weller, Zone Of Dickenss ehaFacters)
Of which we had been reading the night before,
rose up to haunt us. Had we been in the open
air, good laugh would haye relieved Us but

face grew purple, and we saw q medical man IN

more imminent, for India rubber itself must

the shelf on which the prayer book rested, a9d
laughed silently while our tears dropped IKE
rain upon the foot stool. We were now begin
ming to grow calm, when. looking round, we
saw the two old ladies' regarding Us with P'ow
horror through their spectacles and sliding oH
to their own end Of the pew. This set US on
again, and down went our head in vain, ostrich
like attempt at concealment, for our shoulders
and back convulsively agitated from nape b
waistband, told the internal struggle, to say
nothing Of sounds that occasionally. broke forth
noways resembling the responses. Conseiops
that prebendary and preceptOr were regarding
us from their eminence, we again raised our
head with desperate gravity; and shall never ief;
get the agony Of shame with which We boheld

church wardens were quitting their pews with
the faces Of men determined to discharge pain

Some years ago, Cincinnati paper received and
printed the first chapter Of what appeared to be a
most thrilling romance, in the expectation Of being
provided with the concluding portions as might be
needed. The chapter was very iHgeniOusly written,
and concluded by leaving the principal character
suspended by the pantaloOns from the limb Of q
tree over perpendicular precipice. II attracted
the attention Of the press, and inquiries began to
be made concerning the continuation Of the fate Of
the hero. Day after day the victimized publishers
looked for the remaining chapters, but in vain.
They never came to hand. Finding that they had
been sold and wishing 10 put stop the jokes their
contemporaries were cracking at their expense,
they briefly concluded the story thus

My Humble but Beautiful Home.

Oh, give me, when day Is declining,
And sunshine Is flooding the west,
My iVV.clal mound, where, reclining,
can watch the birds seeking their rest,
And listen to their tWittsr Of sorrow,
Whilst through the dew bTeeEes they roam,
To nestle and dream Of tomorrow,
In my humble but beautiful home.
Then give me, when moonlight Is shedding
Its brightness DER dowret and tree,
And stars like an army are treading
To natures own music so free;
And then let me penslvey WANDER
Beneath the dark cedar trees roam,
And there on It's loveliness ponder
In my humble but beautiful home.
when morn the gray orient ls sheetlng
With purple and VeTmilOn hue,
And myriads Of insects are greeting
First rays Of the sun bursting through
Then let me gaze out without measure,
Whilst VaPOrs like sheeted ghosts roam,
With heart Oiled with innocent pleasure
In my humble but beautiful home.
You may tell me Of fame and ambition
OF pOmp and WeAlth's dazzling array
OF those who are high in position,
And homage receive every days
But give Inc the one love dearest,
Away from me never to roam,
Then thou like an Eden Rppearests
My humble but beautiful home.

Pulpit Gravity.

4 minister was preaching to a large congrega.
ton in one Of the Southern States, on the GER
tainty Of a future judgment. In the gallery sat
a colored girl, with white child in her arms
which she was dancing up and down with COM
mendable effort to make baby observe the pro-
prieties Of the place. The preacher was too
much interested in his subject to notice the oc-
casional noise Of the infant; and at the right
point in his discourse, threw himself into an in
teresting attitude, as though he had suddenly
heard the first note Of the trump Of doom, and
looking toward that part Of the church where
the girl with baby in her arms was sitting, he
asked, in a low, deep voice:
"What is that hear" ,.
Before he recovered from the oratorical pause,
so as to answer his own question, the cOlored
girl responded, in mortified tone Of voice, but
loud enough to catch the ears Of the entire con-
gregation
81 dunno, sa, spec It is dis here chile; but
indeed, sa, has been doin' all ! could to keep
him from sturbin' you"
1t is easy to imagine that this unexpected re-
joinder took the tragic out Of the preacher in the
shortest time imaginable; and that the solem-
nifty Of that judgment.day sermon was not lit!
tie diminished by the event.
Another instance, equally confounding to the
minister, happened, we believe, in Richmond,
to hear q preacher of some notoriety. Soon
after he had introduced his subject the cry Of
q" FIRE fire |" in the street very much disturbed
the congregation, and many were about to re-
tire, when an elderly lay brother rose, and said
"If the congregation will be composed, will
step out and see If there is any fire near, and
report"
The congregation became composed, and the
minister proceeded. Taking advantage Of the
occurrence, he called attention to the fire that
would consume the world a fire that would
burn forever in the lake that is bottomless; and
had just concluded sentence OF terrible import,
and not without manifest impression upon his
audience, when a voice from the other end Of
the church, as il in fiat denial Of all he had said
bawlec out:
"Hs a false alarm "
The effect was Iudicrous in the extreme. The
old man had returned but his inopportune re-
sponse spoiled the force Of the eloquent appeal
from the pulpit and even the preacher could
scarce refrain from joining in the universal smile
that passed over the congregation.
Rev. Mr.. 8. was preaching in one Of the Meth
odist Episcopal churches in this city. and there
was in attendance good old Methodist brother,
very much given to responses. Sometimes these
responses were not exactly appropriate, but they
were always well meant The preacher, Usually
lucid, was rather peTplexed, and felt It himself
He labored through the first part, and then said:
" Brethren, have now reached the conclu-
sion Of my first point !" ...
"Thank God!" piOusly calculated the, old
man, who sat before him, profoundly interested |;
but the unexpected response, and the suggestive
power Of it, so confused the preacher, that 1t
was with difficulty he could rally himself to .
continuance Of his discourse.
