LAST FoND LOOKS. When lady Eve are

Of fashion, has got her bonnet and gloves on,
and is perfectly ready with her parasol in her
hand, she always goes back to the looking
glass to take last fond look. Upon our ask
ing ga dear handsome duchess" if this was
not the truth, and the beautiful truth, she
had the charming candor to state:
eyes my dear Punch, it is the truth, but
not all the truth. No woman, take my word
for it, is satisfied with one look. AT least, l
know that I am not, for (and hefe our duch-
ess laughed as though she was plea ed with
herself and all the world) [ don't mind tell
ing you, Iinraria5ly take .toaz good ones.
The first look in the glass is for myself, that's
fair; the second is for my husband, that's
nothing but just; the third is for my friends,
that's only generous and the fourth is for
my rivals, that's only human nature. If the
last look satisfies me- ten | know it is all
right, and i assure you I never take any

Inclined to be GuarFeIsOnie.

There was once little slim-built fellow,
rich as Jew, riding along highway in the
State Of Georgia, when he overlook man
driving drove of hogs, by the help ofa big
six-foot-two specimen Of humanity. Stopping
the last named individual he accosted him:
81 say, are these your hogs?'
''No sir | am working by the month"
'What pay might you be getting, friend %
ssTen dollars month and whiskey thrown
in" was the reply.
sWell, look here! I'm weak, little in
offensive man, and people are apt to impose
upon me, dye see. Now, I'll give you twenty
FIVE dollars month to ride along with me
and protect me, said Mr.. Gardiner. But,
he added, as a thought struck him, how
might you be on fight? ?"
F'Never been licked in my life" rejoined
the six-footer.
"Just the man I want. Is it bargain y
queried Gardener.
Six-footer ruminated.
'.Twenty-6ve dollars, double wages moth
ing to do but ride around and smash fellow S
mug occasionally when he is sassy"
Six-footer accepted. They rode along till
just at night, they reached village inn
Gardiner Immediately singled out the biggest
fellow in the room, and picked fuss with
him. After considerable promiscuous jawlng,
Gardiner turned to his fighting friend and in
timated that the whipping Of that man had
become a sad necessity. Six-footer peeled,
went in and came out first best.
The. next night at another hotel the same
scene was re-enacted, Gardiner getting into
row with the biggest man in the place, and
six-footer doing the fighting.
At last, on the third day, they came to a
ferry, kept by huge double-fsted man, who
had never been licked in his life. While cross
ing the river, Gardiner as usual, began to
find fault, and blow The ferryman natu-
rally got mad, threw things around, and told
his opinion Of their kind. Gardiner then
turned to his friend and gently broke the in
telligence to him ''that he was sorry, but ii
was absolutely necessary to thrash the ferry
man."
Six-footer nodded his head, but said moth
ing. It was plainly to be seen that he did
not relish the job by the way he shrugged his
shoulders; but there was no help for it, So
when they reached the shore, both peeled
and at it they went. Up and down the bank,
over the sand, into the water, they fought
scratched and gouged, bit and rolled, till al
the end of an hour the ferryman gave in.-
Six-footer was triumphant, but it had beer
rough work. Going up to his employer he
scratched his head for a moment and Their
broke forth:
.sLook here, Mr.. Gardiner, your salary
/. sets mighty well-but- I'm--of- the opin
ion-that you're inclined to be quarrelsome
Here, I've only been with you three days
and I've licked the three biggest men in the
country [ think this firm had better dis
solve: for you see, Mr.. Gardiner, I'm afrai6
you're inclined to be quarrelsome, and | reck

Dramatic Serm0n--CuPi0us Scene in, a
Church.

A correspondent of the Buptist Journal,
(Missouri,) gives an account of dramatic
sermon, which, though not quite equal to the
famoas dagger scene Of Burke, in the House
Of Commons, is yet worthy of place among
the illustrations Of popular preaching: His
text was ''He that is without sin let: him
cast tha first stsne"
Last Sabbath, as 7 stepped into the House
of God, heard some one say that he hadno
fellowship for rebel in Church or State,
coupling q profane word with the term. My
blood was chilled in my veins, and the above
text rushed into my mind like pealing claps
Of thunder. 1t was my lot to preach that
day /; 90 | determined to use the text to the
best advantage, God being my helper. Tread
a chapter, sang hymn, and prayed. arose
from ny knees, vent out, and procured
stone CT come four pounds weight Coming
back, [ took my stand with stone in hand
All eyes we're fixed on me; some appeared
to be frightened; others laid their hands on
their reviewers, preparing for battlea as though
