A GOOD Joke is told on one of our clever
saloon keepers, which is too full of genuine
humor, ''under pressing circumstances to
be lost :
4 short time ago, a representative of the
Green Isle stepped into the saloon of the
person above alluded to, and with a counte-
nance full of inquiry said
can have you got any good rye whis-
ky?"
eyes, very good, the best in town. said
the saloon man.
Can have you any halfpint bottles, my
good MANI"
"Yes,' was the reply.
Gam will you plaise to fill one with your
best rye whisky for me?"
"Of course" said the obliging dealer, and
after reaching for the required flask, and
spending full half hour in cleaning it, re-
paired to the cellar, drew half pint of his
Bourbon and presented it to the gentlemen
in waiting.
''Pat' took the bottle, raised it to his lips,
swallowed about half of its contents, and
then, after making the appropriate face over
it, said, in very confidential tone
will you plaise sit this to one side till
call for it ?"
The saloon-keeper, smelling a large sized
rat trap full of small MICE" carefully slowed
| away said half-flled pint. The fellow never
called for it, but took this novel way of OBJ
| tanning drink.
"And the bottle, never fitting, still is sitting

\ pleasing incident occurred in the church
of the Messiah, corner of Ninth and Oliver
streets, St. Louis, recently. The minister,
DR.. Elliot was delivering q discourse with
q view of soliciting aid for the furnishing
poor of the south. In the midst of his re-
marks, while speaking 'peace and good
for moment on the gallery balustrade, then
spread its wings and lowered over the minis

pulpit. Every face was radiant. 1t seemed
as if Providence smiled and the minister,
referring to the messenger of peace, asked
and received a liberal donation.

OLD MAIDs-Never be afraid of becom-
ing an old maid, fair reader. An old maid
is far more honorable than heartless wife,
and "single bessedness" is greatly superior,
in point of happiness to welded life without
love. "Fall not in love, dear girls-be-
warel' says the song. But we do not agree
with said song on this question. On the
contrary, we hold that it is good thing to
fall in love or get in love, if the loved object
be a worthy one. To fall in love with an
honorable man is as proper as it is for an
honorable man to fall in love with virtuous
and amiable woman and what could be q
more gratifying spectacle than sight so
pure, so approaching in its devotion to the
celestial? No; fall in love as soon as you
like, provided it be with suitable person.
Fall in love, and then marry but never
marry unless you do love. That's the great
point. Never marry for "home' or a hus-
band" Never degrade yourself by becom-
ing party to such an alliance. Never sell
yourself, body and soul, on terms so con-
temptible. Love dignifies all things in en-
mobiles all conditions. With love, the mar
riage rite is truly a sacrament. Without it,
the ceremony is base fraud, and the act
human Dissertation. Marry for love, or not
at all, Be ian old maid" if fortune throws

AN ELOQUENT PAssAGE.-The finest
thing George b. Prentice ever wrote, is this
inimitable passage
at cannot be that earth is mans only
abiding place. 1t cannot be that our life is
a bubble, cast up by the ocean of eternity,
to float a moment on its waves and sink into
nothingness. Else why is it, the high and
glorious aspirations which leap like angels
from the temple of our hearts, are forever
wandering, unsatisfed? Why is it that the
rainbow and cloud come over us with beau
ty that is not of earth, and then pass off to
leave US to muse on their lovliness? Why
is it that the stars, which 'hold their festival
around the midnight throne are set above
the grasp of our limited faculties forever
mocking us with their unapproachable
glory? And finally, why is it that bright
forms of human beauty are presented to our
view and taken from us leaving the
thousand streams of our affections to flow
back in an Alpine current upon our hearts :?
We are born for higher destiny than that
Of earth. There is realm where the rain
bow never fades where the stars will be
spread out before US like islands that slum-
Der on the ocean, and where the beautiful
beings which pass before us, will stay forev
in our midst
