On Sabbath last, in one of our

produced an almost irresistible feel

who found it impossible to deny
the drowsy god was one of our
most successful business men,
whose honest efforts to throw off
the somnific influence he was un-
der were witnessed by several look
ers-on. At last he succumbed; his
eyes went shut and failed to come
open again, and his head began to
nod to this and that neighbor quite
fanliliarly. Presently the sleeper's S
head slowly bent toward its owners
wife, and continued to sag, sag, sag,
in that direction, until delicate
sprig on my lady's hat pointed di-
rectly into the ear of the snoosing
husband. One more lurch of the
head on "that line" would cause
the tapering sprig to enter, and pc
culiarly affect the sensitive portion
Of that delicate organ, and several
persons in the gallery were giving
breathless attention to the scene,
fully anticipating an extraordinary
denouement when the connection
between the ear and the sprlg
should be effected. Atlast it came,
the heavy head made another sag

passed into the ear as nicely as if
it had been pointed by rogulsh

the nodding gentleman so intense

look of ineffable sheepishness that
settled upon the face of the late
sleeper, when he became fully con.
scious of the Righteousness OF his
position. Wife looked savage, In

In many parts of Europe, says
a continental traveller, during the
prevalence of cholera, the inhabi-
tants wear a small bag filled with
camphor next to the skin. The
bag contains about one ounce of
the gum, and is renewed once q
week. From my personal obser-
vation, says the writer, l can tes-
tify that the mortality among
those who adopted the above prac-
tice was extremely small in COM
parison to the number of deaths
among those who used no precau-
tions to save themselves.
