A MIRACLE OF HoSEsTY.-At party one evening, several contested the honor of having done the most extraordinary thing Reverend gentleman was appointed sole Judge of their respective pretensions.
 One produced his tai!ors's bill. with receipt attached to it. A buzz went through the room that this could not be outdone, when A second proved that he had just arrested his tailor for money that was lent him. "The palm in his" was the generous cry. when third put in his claim. |" Gentlemen" he said, cannot boast of the feats of my predecessors, but have returned to the owners two umbrellas that they left at our house."
 I'll hear no more Y cried the astonished ar- bitrator. This is the very acme of honesty : it is an act of virtue of which never knew any one capable. The prize-' " Hold !" cried another II have done still more than that"
 1mpossible!" cried the whole company Let us hear"
 ' 1 have been taking my paper for twenty years, and paid for it every year in advance" He took the prize.

Siz hundred pieces of this cloth are sewed together at the ends. making string over fifty thousand feet in length and this is run slowly rapidly gradually. topsy-t y-turvey and by jerks through over under between bars, bolts, tubs. v,.ts. eogs and cylinders mixed up with soda. asnhaltum

vY- Pluck is an important requisite
in ones composition. An instance
showing its intrinsic value to man in
tight place occurred not thousand
miles from Grand Rapids few days
since. When one obtains the privilege
to build fence around building of
public instruction, with the consent Of
the proper thorities-though Mr.. A,
3 or G orders him to quit because the
distance to his stable is much more cir
cuitous-he shows good pluck III tell
ing Mr. A, B or G, or any other man,
that he will stick his head In the hole
intended for the post, and threaten to
spank him and put him to bed, if he
don't "dry up and that too speedily.
1t may be crime to build fence
around a school house, and thus pro
tect the grounds from the encroach
ments of cattle, hogs, and other sae
sects, but 1--WE don't see it.''
