PEACH AND HoEEY.-0ld Judge Cole, Of
Texas, was characterized by his attachment
tn the seductive beverage called peach and
honey, and by his hatred of whiskey and whis-
key drinkers!
While holding court at Austin, two men
were brought up on charge of q drunken af-
fray. 1t was plain case: the row had oc-
CURED In the epen street, in open day, aud
there were fifty witnesses to the whole trans
action. So the two deIinquents pleaded gull
ty, by the advice of their counsels and threw
themselves on the mercy of the court.
They were then brought forward for SEN
tencs separately.
"You are guilty of an afrayf" growled the
judge.
Eyes, your HONOR whined the offender,
thoroughly frightened.
Drunk suppose" growled the judge.
"fes, your honor" murmured the prisoner,
with a faint hope that having been drunk
would mitigate the punishment.
"Drunk on rye whiskey, too I'll warrant"
| roared the judge in q voice OF thunder.
"Yes, your honor, drunk on rye whiskey."
"ur. Clerk, record fine of fifty dollars
against this man." cried the judge. Send
him to Jail for sixty davs. ! shall fine the
| next one who is guilty under such circum-
stances, one hundred dollars, sad send him to
jail for six months"
This was poor comfort for the poor unfor-
| tunste fellow whe was waiting his turn, and
row came forward with fear and trembling.
As he passed along by his lawyer, that
thoughtful gentleman whispered in his ear
"When the judge asks you what you got drunk
on, tell him, on peach aud honey"
| He took the stand.
"You, teo, are up here for an ARRAY growl-
ed the judge gnashing his teeth, as If he would
like to bite the prisoner at the bar.

| "Drunk on rye whiskey, too, suppose"
"Oh, no, your honor; never drink whiskey

The judges features relaxed in an instant
Leaning forward and raising his spectacles,

and addressed him with something like ten

"Ahl sir" said the judge blaady, "peach

sir. The court sympathizes with you sir, and
does not regard your offence as very serious.

young man lately volunteered his servi-
ces to young lady from a party. On the
way he becudjelled his brains for some inter
esting topic of conversation to amuse her
With; he could hit upon nothing until they met
several COWS. Here was topic which the
swain Immediately laid hold OF, and with
much simplicity remarked
"Now, amt it strange what a motherly ap-
pearance COW hasfn
To which the lady replied =

COW should have motherly appearance 10 a

TIE UNDISCOVERED COUNTRY.


Gould we but know
The land thai ENDS our dark, uncertain travel
Where lie those happier hills and meadows
low
All, il beyond the spirits inmost csvil
Aught OF that country could we surely know,
who would not got
Might we but hear
Tho lowering angels high imagined chorus,
Or catch, betimes, with waksful eyes and
clear,
One radiant vista OF the realm before US
With one rapt moment given to see and hear,
Oh, who would fear2
We're we quite sure
To find the peerless friend who left us lonely,
Or there by some celestial stream as pure,
To gaze in eyes that here were lovelit only
Their weary mortal coil, were we quite sure /,
Who would endure

A TRIcK.-"My son, take this jug and fetch
me some beer"
"Gve me some money, then, father"
"ay son, to get beer with money, anybody
can do that; but to get beer without money,
that's trick"
So the boy took the jug, and out he goes.
Shortly after, he returned and placed the Jug
before his father.
"Drink, said the son.
"How can | drink, said the father, tswhen
there is no beer iu the Jug"
"To drink beer out of the Jug" said the
son, "when there is beer, anybody can do
that; but to drink beer out of Jug when
there is ne beer, that's the trick"

AN ABRIDGED SERMoS.-Abridgement of a
sermon which took up an hour in delivering,
from these words-"Msn Ia born to trouble"
My friends the subject falls naturally to be
divided into four beads:-
l. Mans entrance into the world
2. His progress through the world. fTS
g. His exit from the world; and
A. Practical reflections from what may be
said.
First, then:
l. Man came into this world naked and
bare;
2. His progress through it is trouble and
care.
3. His exit from it noue can tell where.
4. BIT il he does well here, he'll do we'll
there.
Now, can say no more, my brethren dear.
Should preach on this subject from this
time to next year. Amen.
