Statistics of Joking.

One HieroCles, in the early Christian days,
spent much of his time in researches into this
highly momentous subject, being the first
author upon il. he lett beh md him, as the har-
vest of his labors, Il jokes, which we may
securely believe were all that to his kuo wledge
existed up and down the world, after as many
as 500 years of its Christian life were spared,
in addition, as many people are aware, to
previous 1000. Twenty-one Jokes in $500
old world made joke once in about $50 years,
and then took breath. What stale, worn,
threadbare thing that first joke must have been
whennthe second joke was made The stock of
fun was, Of course, comparatively rich then;
there was glimpse of fertility. What an eX-
traOrdinary run there must have been upon the
little stranger! So that we see that for As CEN
1urles the world was in the habit of preparing
its jokes with a stuDendous degree of delibera
4ion and forethought, and the inhabitants of the
universe (who lived, however, snugly in q tiny
corner of it), maintained themselves Tespecta-
bly, and comfortably during that period on
ton was impending. The world was meditat-
ing speaking. jocularly) a gigantic and
astounding spring. From Il jokes, the Hero
clean legacy, to q millions was like one step
aCCOmpli he'd in a moment; or. in ordinary
language. in about 1900 years. Everything is
comparative. Those first as centuries ioked so
slowly that we got somehow into a way of look
ing at them as if they had been mere chronolo-
glcal atoms. Adding 13 new centuries to the
old 45 brings us very nearly down to the age in
which we live; for arguments sake, say quite
content? May 81 900, 600 Jokes be regarded as
high-water mark? The greatest nation in the
world ought to rest and be thankful with such
a marvellous fortune,

SWEETS OF WoMAN,s LIFE.

A babe al rest on a mothers breast,
Too young TO smile or weep,
Conscious OF naught but mothers love-
SO sweet Is infants sleep.
A child at play in meadows green,
Plucking the fragrant flowers,
Chasing the bright-wingel butterflies
SO sweet are childhood's hours.
A maiden fair as early dawn,
Radiant with every grace,
Gladd'ning the eye that looks on her.
So sweet Is beauty's face.
A softly blushing, downcast look,
Mumur of startled dove,
Answering another's tender words
So sweet is maiden's love.
A white-robed virgin, kneeling low,
Before Gods altar bows.
Forever join'd two hearts and hands
So sweet are marriage vows.
A youthful mother bending DER
Her irst-born, beauteous boy,
Forever hers till death shall part
So sweet mothers Joy.
The matron in lifes autumn time,
With young life clustered DER,
Her children's children clasp her knees, -
So rich in autumn's store

The ComNe PRocnAsrAr1,oN.-Iti is

The COMING PRoc1AAEATIoN.- is
stated that the President has pre-
pared proclamation declaratory of
the restoration of peace, and of the
right of the Southern States and
people to representation in the Ma
tional Legislature. Mr.. johnson
could not select o better time than
the present to issue such a proclama-
ton. The people expect it, demand
it; it will be hailed with acclamations
by the masses everywhere, except in
those New England districts where
the popular mind has been complete
ly perverted by the teachings of ia
naticism. The radicals are losing
heart. They would not rail so vio-
lently against the President if they
did not feel his power and fear it.
They are conscious that the verdict
OF the people is against them, and
that the supremacy that they gained
from the opportunities offered by
civil strife is vanishing from their
grasp. The fever is over, the pas
sions engendered by war are subsid-
ing, the multitudes are yielding to
the influence of reason, and appre-
ciate the policy that is due to the
emergencies of the hour. The in
cendiary appeals of demagogues fall,
If not unheeded, at least impatientlv,
on the public ear All men who re-
fleet calmly upon the situation ac-
knowledge the wisdom and states
manship of the Executive action,
and the country is ready to support
its Chief Magistrate in the consum-
nation of his plan of reconstruction.
Such being the popular sentiment,
let Mr.. johnson take advantage of it
to push the political war with vigor.
The bluster of the radicals betrays
their weakness. They require the
stimulants of noisy wrath to sustain
them from dropping at the very crisis
of the conflict. They exhibit all the
symptoms of desperation, and, after
the first ebullition of their frenzy,
will come their exhaustion, their
hopelessness and complete discomft-
ure. The President can gain moth
ing, may lose much, by temporising.
His enemies do not spare him; let
him not spare them. He has to deal
with fanatics who will use every wea-
pom within their reach to annoy, to
weaken and to crush him. But, sup
ported by the popular will, he wields
au influence that can put down all
opposition. He has taken up the
gauntlet; now let him call to his aid
all the decision and energy of his
character and push the battle to an
end.-NeaD York NepS.

LuD1cRous SCENES IN A CHURCH

LUD1cRoUs SCENES IN CHURCH.
An aged clergyman, speaking of the
solemnity attached to the ministerial
Office, said that during the whole term
OF forty years that he had officiated
therein, his gravity had never been
but once disturbed in thepulpit. On
that occasion, he noticed a man
directly In front of him, leaning over
the railing of the gallery, with some
thing in his hand, which he afterward
discovered to be huge chew of to-
bacco, just taken from his mouth.
Directly below sat man fast asleep,
with his head back and mouth wide
open. The man in the gallery was
intently engaged in raising and lower
ing his hand, taking all exact obser-
yatlon, till at last, having got it right,
he let fall his quid, and it went plump
into the mouth of the sleeper below!
The whole scene was so indescribably
ludicrous, that for the first and last
time in the pulpit, an involuntary
smile forced itself upon the counte-
nance of the preacher.

Presentment of the Grand jury
Spring Term, 1866.

spring Term, 1906.
The Grand Jury having considered and
examined the various matters of public
interest which demand their attention,
make the following presentments:
The Boards Of Commissioners of the
District, upon the faithful and jealous dis
charge Of whose duties its welfare and
prosperity SO materially depend, have been
causes beyond their control, to perform
those duties in manner satisfactory to
themselves or to the public
The Commissioners of Public Buildings
have been able only, and with the greatest
difficulty, to provide Offices for the officers
OF the Court; while the Court House and
jail buildings, so essential to the good
order and preservation OF society, are still
IN ruins, and must remain so until the peo-
pie recover, to some extent, from the ex-
haustlng war so recently waSed tor their
independence.
The Commissioners Of Free Schools have
been forced to discontinue their 1abors for
want of the usual funds necessary for the
support OF the schools; and the Commits
sloners OF the Poor have, for @ like reason,
been compelled to abandan the poor Of the
District to the charity of neighbors, but
little removed from pauperism themselves.
me public roads, 10 many parts of the
District, are almost impossible, owing to
the want OF the necessary funds to repair
the bridges, the destruction OF our old and
cherished system Of labor, the ignorance
OF the Commissioners, for long time, as
to the mode Of reaching the negro in his
emanclpated condition, and the uncertainty
which still exists as to whether the wards
Of the nation will be allowed to obey their
orders. In this state of things, the Grand
Jury canno5 Censure these boards of public
officers, but would earnestly urge them to
put forth rem ewed and increased efforts to
organize their respective departments, and
to endeavor, as speedily as possible, to
meet the re Iuirements Of refined and
enlightened community-remind them
that the mac linery of State Government
has again been put in motion-that laws
have been enacted which are adapted to
our changed condition-taxes levied, ap-
preparations made, public offices filed, and
that the State, struggling to regain her
footing, confidently expects that all her
officers will faithfully and earnestly dis
charge their 'espective duties.

this, the stove, agitated by his jarring
blows, rolled over on the floor.
