Very Clever.

The pastor of one Of the churches of
this city, says the Syracuse Journal, was
catechising the pupils of the Sabbath
School, and asked them among other ques-
tions,
''Where is God ?"
Various answers were returned by the
children, after which the minister pro-
ceeded to explain the omniscicnce of the
Deity, concluding his remarks with the
admonition:
Remember, dear children, that God is
everywhere"
The words had hardly escaped his lips
when a rustic little fellow rose up and said
to the pastor
"Please, sir, did yeu say that God was
every where p
"Yes, my son, everywhere"
ais he in my pocket?
Yes, he is in your pocket
"Well, guess I've got you there" wa.
the triumphant retort, cause hain't go
any pocket"

Taking the Starch Out.

A capital example, writes reader, of
what is often termed "taking the starch
out" happened recently in country
bank in New England. A pompous, we'll
dressed individual entered the bank and
addressed the teller, who is something of
wag inquiring: &
lis the cashier inf"
Mo sir" was the reply.
f"Well, am dealing in pens, supplying
the New England banks pretty largely,
and merely suppose it would be proper
for me to deal with the cashier ?''a o.f
81 suppose it would, said the teller
"Very we'll, | will wait"
The pen peddler took chair, and sat
composedly for full hour, waiting for
the cashier. By that time he began to
grow uneasy, but sat twisting in his chair
for about twenty minutes, and seeing no
prospect of change in his circumstances
he asked the teller how soon the eashie,
would be in. -
"Well don't know" said the waggish
teller, "but | expect him in about eigh
weeks He has just gone up to Lake Su
perior, and told me he thought be shoulC
come back in that time. Hiaa esz
Peddler thought he would not wait,
| ssoh, you can stay if you wish, sai'
tho teller, hlandly. 1--WE have no objec
ton to your sitting here in Gay time, an
you can probably find some place wher
they will be glad to keep you at night
The pompous peddler disappeared with
out another word.

MARRIAGE CERTIFIcATHs,r7Itis is esre-
oially important Just now that Clersymen
in marrying couple SHOULD not neglect
to give certificate OF the marriage, or TO

death of soldier, the widow must have
certificate of marriage before she eau
