A pious but illiterate deacon, in
certain town in Massachusetts,, gave a
stage driver a slip of paper, upon which,
he said, were written the names of
couple of books which he wished him 10
call for Mt the book store. The driver
called ut the store, and handing the
memorandum to the clerk, said: "There
is couple of books which Deacon B.
wishes you to send him." The clerk. af-
ter a careful examination of the papers,
was unable to make "head or tail" of it,
anil passed it to the book keeper, who
was supposed to know something of let
tiers, but 10 him il was also "Greek."
The proprietor was called, and he also
gave up in dispair, and it finally conclud-
ed best to send the memorandum back
to the deacon. 1t was supposed he must
have sent the wong paper. As the coach
arrived at the village inn, the driver saw
the deacon standing on the steps.
"Well, driver" said he, ibid you get
nv books to day?"
Books! mol and good reason why !!

"Coulln't read 'ritini Let me SEQ

The driver drew it from his pocket,
and passed it to the deacon. who, taking
out and carefully adjusting his glasses,
held the memorandum at arms length,
and exclaimed. as he did so, in a very
satisfied tone:
"Why. it's plain as the nose on your
face. To Sam u.x--two psalm

CnEERFuLxEss.-The faculty of max
ing the most of blessings is happy one
The Spaniard of whom Southey tells
that he always put on his nagnifying
giassess when lie ate cherries, in order TO
make them seem larger, had tho true
philosophy of life. The good things
that to the share of most men in this
world are not so numerous but TINT they
Will bear little pleasant evaporation,
and 1t is much wiser to make the most
OF them than to grumble because they
are not more numerous. 1t is surpris
ing how narrow means and simple pleas
ure may be eked out by little inyen-
tIcn. Sidney Smith, the great master
OF human happiness, used to cry out,
"Glorify the room," and, the windows
being thrown open, let in blaze of sun
shine and flowers. The ancient Pomp-
CLANS, who were wise in their day and
generation, seemed to have well under
stood the art Of making the most of
everything. Their gardens were very
dimihitive, but by painting the surround
ding walls with plants and landscapes,
their little area became indefinitely en-.
largcd TO the eye of the observer, just as
our shop-kcepers enlarge their premises
and multiply their goods by the aid of
mirrors. 1t is well to glorify our lives in
this way little, by throwing open the
windows and taking an enlarged view of
all our blessings.

Colns are of two kinds. Vegetable
aud animal. Vegetable corn grows in
rows, and animal corn grows on toes.
There are several kinds of corn; there is
unicorn, capricorn, corn dodgcr, field
corn, toe corn, which you feel the most.
1t is said, l believe, that gophers like
corn, but persons having corns do not
like to "go far" if they can help it.
Corn have kernels, and colonies have
corns. Vegetable corn grows on ears,
but animal corn grows on the feet. at
the other end of the body. Another
kind of corn is acorn, these grow OH
oaks, but there is hoax about the corn.
The acorn is corn with an indefinite ar
ticle, but the corn is very a very definite
article indeed. Try it and see. Many
man when he has corn wishes it was an
acorn. Folks that have corns sometimes
send for the doctor, and if the doctor
himself is corned he won't do as we'll rs
if he isn't. The doctor says corns are
produced from tight boots or shoes,
which is probably the reason why when
a man is tight people say he IS corned.
If a farmer manages well he can get
good deal of corn to the acre, but l know
one farmer that mas corn that makes
the biggest aches on his farm. The big
ger crop of vegetable corn man raises
the better he likes it, but the bigger crop
of animal corn be raises the better he
does not like it. Another kind of corn
is corn dodgcr. The way i, is made is
very simple, and is as follows (that is if
you want to know3 You go along the
street and meet man you know has q
corn, and is rough character, then you
step on the toe that has the corn on it,
and see if you don't have occasion to
dodge. In that way you will find out
what a corn dodger is.

Eg The Cincinnati Times tells thi

Eg- The Cincinnati Times tells this
story:
Some three weeks since lady Of our
city, visiting the early morning markee,
purchased pair of fine young chichens,
for which she paid the rather handsome
price ofninety cents. They were con-
veyed to her residence, and being of
that class of good wives who will look to
the kitchen affairs and have all in duo
array when tho husband comes home TO
dire, she supervised The dressing of her
mornings purchase. Strange to say, on
desecting the craw of one of the birds
pie:e of surface mineral gold vas found,
which had certainly been picked up ly
the fowl in its meal of tho day before.
For nero curiosity tho specimen was ia
ken to one of the jewellers who reported
IFS value at 90 cents, and paid the same
for it.
This being the cost of the original in
vestment, and her poultry being without
expense. the lady began to get the gold
fever on the brain, and the news of the
late discovery in CIarmont county has
added TO her zeal in the discovery of this
new mineral region. Early in the NOR
ming she is up and clio ely inspecting the
market for the old man from the coun
try who sod her the chicken with ninety
cents in geld in bis craw. She is not
deferred By one visit nor a dozen, but
with the indsfatigable patience of an ex-
perienced miner who tries and tries
and tries again, she may be seen closely
inspecting the wagons from the rural dis
tricts. Her belief is sanguine as to the
