To THE DowNHEARrED.- an ex.
change: Come, now, be cheerful; if you
cannot pay your debts Immediately, do
the best you can, and pay them as you
are able. "Care killed a cat" If you
have not fifty cents to luxuriate upon the
delicacies Of the season, appropriate half
the amount for something more substan-
tinl and wholesome. Kiss your wife, II
you have one; if not, kiss some pretty
girl and marry her Immediately acts
Of desperation frequently result happily.
IL you have children, romp with them !;
If you have none, romp with your neigh.
bOrs'. Look upon the bright side of ev.
erything--put on cheerful countenance
keep your mind in the right trim. and
if you find that your native town does
not support you, pack up and 60 to
another. At all events, be cheerful.

LOVE OF A WIFE--Let the electric fin
ger of love once touch the citadel of the
soul, and the batteries of the universe
may thunder before it in vain. Whether
it be affection for an aged parent, de-
formed offspring, or q friend in time of
trouble, that one imperiShable sentiment
is superior to time. But there is deep.
er. higher, still more enduring faith-the
free will offering of woman's heart
Be the idol of her affections ever so un.
loveable, so lowly in life, SO despised by
the world, so Knocked at by fortune, so
tortured by the persecution of creditors
or the law, she clings to him through
evil and good report, and as fragments
fall from the altar of home, she breathes
the breath of purity and love on the scat
tered embers and swears the oath of fidel-
ity--" AS God liveth, nought but death
shall part me and thee"

CONCLUSION OF A HARD SHELL SERMON.
:" My brethren and sisters eff a man is
full ofreligion you can't hurt him! There
was the three Arabian children; they put
EN- in the fiery furnace, hotter, seven
time hotter, than it could be het, and it
didn't SINCE har on one of their heads
And there was John, the Evangeler they
put him--and where do you think they
put him, brethren and Sisters9 Why,
they put him into a caladronic of bilin'
ley, and they billed him all night, and it
didn't faze his SHELF And there was
Daniel, they put him into lions den
and what, my fellow travellers and respect
ed auditors, do you think he was put IN
lions den forH Why, for praying three
times day. Don't be alarmed, brethren
and sistren; | don't think any Of you will
ever get into lions den."

A VALUABLE PROFESSIONALLY .Scien-
tWc american describes a breastplate
which, it is said. is being extensively
worn by the officers and men in the army =.
1t is composed of thin spring steel, and is
worn between the cloth and lining of a
common military vest. 1t has two leaves,
which lap at the edges when the vest is
buttoned, SO as to cover the entire chest.
1t weighs only three pounds and a.half,
and can be worn with ease by any officer
or soldier during the most active exercise.
1t is very strong in proportion to its
weight, as it can resist the thrust or a
bayonet or sword, and it will repel the
bullets of muSkets and pistols at ranges
which would otherwise be fatal 10 life.

Nor GREAT ENOUGM.-Frederick the
Great is reported to have said, in refer
ence to troublesome assnilant "This
man wants me to make martyr of him,
but he shall not have that satisfaction"
VeSpaSion told Demetrius, the Cynic,
" You do all you can to get me to put you
to death, but do not kill a dog for bark
ing at me-" This Demetrius was a man
of real spirit and honesty. When Caligula
tried to cOncilate his good word BY a
large gift in money, he sent it back with
the message: "IC you wish to bribe me,
you must send me your crown" George
the Third ironically asked an eminent
divine, who was just returned from Rome,
whether he had converted the Pope. mo,
sire, | had nothing better to offer him."

LITTLE THINGS. minutes taken
from tive hours seems a very small affair.
and yet for a workman to be behind ten
minutes every fore and afternoon, de-
frauds his employer out of two hours a
week, or nearly ten and half days in a
ye9S. At $3 per day, this would amount
20 $50 per year--practically stolen, and
often by men SO conscientious that they
would deem it q sin to take an apple from
a neighbours orchard without permission.
How hard it is to come up to the Golden
Rule: All things whatsoever We would
that men should do to you, do ye even so
to them. And who wonders that this
requlsition was called the " straight gate, a"
into which men were exhorted to enter,
and which, it was said, few men would
be able to find. )?

The impenetrability of the rhinoceros'
hide is stated by recent English hunters
to be fable. which arose solely from the
fact that walking-sticks and whip:stocks
as hard as horn are prepared from it by a
tedious process among the natives of cum
tries which the animal inhabits. A COM
mon buckshot will in reality 60 through
the hide with perfect ease. The same in
vulnerability has been asserted of the nl-
ligatOr, and it has been disproved by
killing the monster with charge of bird
shot fired into his right side, through the
heart. The eye and the vent are always
mentioned as his only vulnerable spots.

A MODEL CRIER.-An old paper, turned
up in general cleaning up, contains the
following:
In beautiful town Of North Carolina,
an old court-crier, who had grown gray
in the cause, and as deaf as beetle, was
in the habit of calling the names of wit,
nesses (Which he generally managed to
get wrOng) from the second story window
of the court house, in such a stentorian
voice as to be heard with distinctness a
square or more. On one occasion, in the
course Of very serious and somewhat
important suit, the presence of a witness,
named Arabella Hanks, was needed. The
crier, like parrot, sat nodding on his
perch, when he was aroused from his
slumber by an order from the Court to
call the witness. Looking anxiously at
the Judge, with his hand behind his ear,
in order to catch the sound correctly, he
said:
"What, your Honor ?"
"Call Arabella Hanks, said the Judge.
Still in doubt, the poor crier rose from
his seat, and said again, with a much
puzzled look:
"What, your honor"
"Call Arabella Hanks, crier, and delay
the business Of the Court TO longer" said
the Judge, much provoked.
The old crier, thereupon. with coun.
tenance indicating both doubts and des-
peration, proceeded to the window, and
in his loudeSt voice called out:
%" Ydtter Belly Shnnks! Yaller Belly
Shanks ! Yaller Belly Shanks! come into
COURT"
1t is needless to say that the serious
ness Of the Courtroom was rconvulsively
dispelled; and quiet was restored only to
be again disturbed by the laughter caused
by the crier, who in answer to the Court
as to whether or not the witness answer
ed, said: mo, your Honor; and don't
believe there is such person in the coun.
ty, for I've lived here forty years, and |
never he'erd of him before I"

A GENTLEMAN entered shop in which
vegetables were kept for sale, and inquired
ofthe proprietor il he had any onions.
"Onions, onions, repeated the puzzled
vegetable dealer, onionsl no, sir, | be-
lieve not"
After the gentleman had gone. the per.
picked vegetable dealer scratched bis head
for a moment, and then as if struck with
. sudden solution Of the mystery, he ex.
wonder if the darned, eter-
nal, ignorant fool didn't mean inyens!"

house by shooting him with the slop. pail.
