AN old Dutch farmer had handsome
daughter, named Minnie, who recently
joined the Methodist Church, against
which the old farmer was somewhat
prcjudiced. The young minister under
whose instrumentality Miss Minnie was
converted visiting her frequently, ex-
cited his suspicion that all was not
right. Accordingly, he visited the
church one Sunday night and seated
himself, unobserved, among the con-
gregation.
Soon after taking his seat the minis
ter who was preaching from Daniel 9TH
chapter, 18th verse, repeated in loud
voice the words of his text, "Mene
meme, tekel upharson," upon which the
farmer sprang to his feet, seized the
afirighted girl by the arm, and hurried
her out of the house. Having reached
the yard, he gave vent to his felings in
the words:
81 knows dare vas something's wrong
und now | schwarcs to 'em."
"Why, father what do you mean"
asked the bewildered girl.
"Did'nt l." shouted the old man
striking his fists together, and stamp
ing his foot "did'nt | hear de parson
call out to you" ".Minaie, Minnie, tick-
Ie the parsOn."

A BIG SCARE.

| MARK TWAIN tells the following sto
ry by,a fellow passenger, who, bantered
about his timidity, said he had never
been scared since he had loaded an old
Queen Anne's musket for his father
once, whereupon he related the follow
ing:
You see the old man was trying to
learn me to shoot black birds and beasts
that tore up the young corn, and such
things, so that | could be of some use
about the farm, because I was not big
enough to do much. My gun was a lit
tie single-barrcl shotgun, and the old
man carried an old Queen Anne's mus
ket that weighed ton, and made re-
port like II thunder-clap, and kicked
like mule. The old man wanted me
to shoot the old musket sometimes, but
| was afraid. One day, though, got
her down, and so took her to the hired
man and asked him how to load her,
because the old man was out in the
fields. Hiram said "Do you see them
marks on the stock-an X and a "?
Well, that means 10 balls and . slugs-
that's her load"
but how much powder?"
"Oh, he says" sit don't matter; put
in four handsfull."
SO loaded her up that way, and it
was an awful charged had sense enough
to sec that-and started out. | leveled
her on n good many birds, but every
time went to pull the trigger | shut
my eyes and winked. / was afraid of
her kick. Towards sundown / fetched
up ut the house, and there was the old
man resting on the porch.
Been out hunting, have YEP"
" Yes, sir" says l..
What did you kill ?''
"Didn't kill anything, sir--didn't
shoot her off was afraid she'd kick"
Il knew very well she would.)
"Gimmus that gun !" the old man
says mad as sin. "Do you see that sap
pling?"
l saw it and began to drop back out
of danger. And the next minute heard
an earthquake, and the Queen Anne
whirling end over end in the air, and
the old man spinning around on one
heel, with one leg up, and both hands
on his jaw and the bark flying from that
old mans shoulder, was set back few
inches, and his jaw turned black and
blue and he had to lay up for three days.
| havn't been scared since.

a Lesson FOR LAZY WIVEs.-One
day sturdy peasant was at work in the
field amidst storm and rain, and went
home in the evening, tired and drenched
to the skin. His loving wife said: my
dear, it has been raining so hard that
could fetch no water, so have not been
able to make you any dinner. AS you
are wet through / shall be obliged to
you to fetch me n couple of buckets of
watcr-you cannot get any wetter.' "
The argument was striking; he there
fore took two buckets and fetched some
water from the well, which was at Il
considerable distance. On reaching his
hous", he found his wife comfortably
seated by the fire; then lifting one buck
ct after another he poured the contents
over his considerate partner, "Now,
wife," said he, "you are quite rs wet as
| am, so you may rs well fetch water
for yourself; you can't get any wetter."

SO teach u.s. Lord. through each event of life,
A calendar, thus strict and wise, to keep,
And. needing not the daily storm and strife,
That like the clouds, across Its surface, sweep,
still may we note the sunbeums as they fall,
And like the dial mid st. Marks fair flowers,
our MOTTO through all change, whateer befall,
be, 81 number none but the cloudlcss hours.
SO, let us gather up the sweets Of earth,
To fill the record Of each passing day,
Nor, in our nightly rcverles by the hearth,
Remember crosses that have blocked our way
The lovllcst flower of earth is seldom found
without its impcrfections, howe'er slight -
Amid the farcst roses thorns abound
And sweetest pleasures too must have thel
blight.
SO let us seek the good in human hearts,
And save to remedy, touch not the i'll;
The wheat with tares together often stands,
Yet may the same one garner never Ill.,
Then let us wait, In watchfulnoss and prayer
And cheerfnlly perform the mission ours
Striving, II skies above he false or fair,
still to "numbcr none but the cloudless hours.
"None but the coudless hours" o, Lord to keep
None others be on Mom'rys tablet writ,
In Joys will we forget the tears we weep,
When stern adversely above us sits;
With grateful hearts enjoy each blessing given,
Nor sigh for pleasures that IAN come no more:
Could life below more perfect be, kind Heaven,
For erring mortals would have less in store.

a SPORTING bet was recently made
by n person residing ut Andover, that
he would carry n man on his back u
quarter Of a mile in Il couple of minutes,
and some little interest was created by
the match. The carrier and the man
ready to be carried appeared at the start
ing point, when the former protested
himself quite ready to carry the man,
but not his clothes, and as the person
who had unwittingly laid the wager de-
clined to be carried through the streets
without his habiiments, the stakes
were claimed and handed over, much
to his chagrln and the entertainment OF
the bystanders.
