We heard pretty good story the other
day, where an honest faced Hoosier went to
a fancy store in Cincinnati, in hunt Of a
situation. The proprietor was sitting in
the counting>roam, with his feet elevated,
contemplating life through the sottenng
influence Of cigar smoke.
Our Hoosier friend addressed him as fol-
lows:
"Do you want to hire any man about
your establishment"
The clerk looked indiiferently, but seeing
his customer, concluded to have little fun
out of him, so he answered very briskly, at
the same time pulling ont large and cost
" handkerchief, and wiped his nose on it.
Eyes, sir: what kind of situation do you
want?"
"Well, I'm not particular. I'm out Of
employment and almost anything will dc
me for awhile. "
Yes, can give you a situation, if it
will suit you.
"What is it? What's to be done, and
what do you give?'
swell, want hand to chew rags into
paper and if you are willing to set in you
may begin at once
Good as wheat? Hand over your rags.

The Hoosier saw the "sell, and quietly
putting the handkerchief into his pocket
walked out, remarking:

Ever since the award of premiums at the
Paris Exposition, the public have been bcr
ed with statements concerning the claims OF
the Howe, the Florence, the Weed, tbs
Wheeler 4 Wilson. and the Grover x Baker
manufacturing companies to the first honors
(?) of that affair. The machines OF each
of these companies are claimed to the best
because the manufacturers received medal
or ribbon to that effect. And so many
obtained the same prize we can't see where
the honor comes in. Now, the Singer Sew
ing Machine was not placed on exhibition
at the Worlds Fair in Paris, for the very
good reason that it does not depend upon
medals or ribbons tor its success. The
merits of this machine rest upon its ever
faithful performance of all that Is claimed
for il. and having been adequately used in
all parts of the civilized world, and award>
ed the peoples verdact in Its favor, it can
we'll afford to stand aside and let its feeble
rivals find what they can in the worthless
awards of fair committee. 1t is fact that
the Singer Machine has been less advertis-
ed than any other, and yet SO highly is 1t
esteemed that only last year, (lS67,) for
example, five thousand more machines Of
the Singer patents s6M than other sewing
machines now before the public. The sim,
ple and natural increase of the business of
the Singer Company for 1867 was seven
thousand machines, which increase is equal
to three times the entire sales of the Empire
Company, and nearly t,oice the entire sales
of the Weed Company for the same period.
In the same year the business ofthe Wheel
er & Wilson Manufacturing Company fell
aft twelve thon.and These are facts which
viii stand investigation, but we doubt wheth
or the manner in which medals and ribbons
of the Fairs are obtained will bear any scru
tiny at all. Wonderful improvements have
been made in the Singer Sewing Mashn.
and it is now the best machine for famil!
and manufacturing purposes, Its sales II
this vicinity are already very large and th
demand is still increasing. 1t is light. dn
rable, simple and noiseless. and ought !
find place in every family in the land.

A crippled beggar was striving to pick mp
some old clothing that had been thrown
from the window, when a crowd Of rude
bows gathered about him mimicklng his
awkward movements and hooting at his
helplessness and rags. Presently a noble
little fellow came up, and pushing his way
through the crowd, helped the poor crippl:
ed man to pick up his gifts, and placed
them in bundle. Then as he was running
away, voice above him said, Little boy
with a straw hat, look up." A lady leaned
from and upper window, sad earnestly:
'God will bless you for that. AS he walk

Yours, &C.,

DURING the political campaign Of 1866
General Joe Geiger was speaking in Butler
county, Ohio. The audience was attentive,
with the exception of one fellow who inter>
rupted the General with pointless remarks
and questions At length Geiger said
Young man, you seem to have mighty
open countenance in the dark; suppose you
bring it little closer to the stand, so that
we can take squiut at its beauty? The
fellow, urged by those around him; was sins
pie enough to go forward, when Geiger,
with great solemnity, said
Young man, have you ever searched the
Holy Scriptures"
Certainly have.
"Have you ever read in the New Testa-
ment Of the man who was advised to be
born again?'
Yes"
"Wen, my young friend, that was the
counsel of inspiration. For the sake Of
yourself. your relations, and public meet
ings, follow it, go through that interesting
process, and the next time you are born be
still 6orn.'
As the young person meandered from the
front. General Geiger observed. THAT was
Christian work in me. | have put spir
ihal stopcock on that sinners wind pipe,
and if he will view it on the right spirit, it
many be the means of saving him."

The uncle of Hans brings to light another
coincidence: ....
Many persons regard the name Hans

significant one. 1t is not the name he was

then gave Rim all the cider he wanted to
drink, thinking he was German. When he
went among the Irish clan, he told them
his name was Patrick, and they also gave
him cider. By and by he came to party
consisting about equally ofFrcnch and Irish.
When they inquired his name he replied
''Le Connor," Here he was again treated
to cider In the evening they all gathered
together for jolifcation, when some of
them addressed the boy as Hans, some as
Patrick, and some as lie Connor. Contra
dictions followed, and there was about TO be

A Lively Scare.

Two whisky friends, who had been on n
prolonged spree, wondered into livery
stable The OTHER night, and were allowed by
a man in charge to lie down on ted in this
Office to sleep off the fumes Of alcohol. Now
it happenedsthat there was young puppy
under the bed in basket. Suddenly one
of the men woke up and heard succession
of smothered barks coming from some direc-
ton, he new not where. Waking up his
companion, he said:
".Jim did you hear that barking?"
Jim dd't of course, because the dog had
stopped barking He listened and hearing
nothing told his friend it was fancy, there
was no dog barking-he had better go to
sleep again.
Didn't you here the dog, thought urg~
ed the other, growing suddenly excited, the
sweat starting out Of him.
"No, you fool" said tile other

shrieked and attempted to jump out Of bed.
But Jim clung to him, and finally. by
soothing conversation prevailed upon bin
to lie still, and afer while the, frightened
hummer went to sleep. Jim didn't, how
ever. He was wakeful from nervous recrea-
tion, and conscience which man feels when
he is coming out Of debaueh- Suddenly
the puppy under the bed began to bark
gain, It was low, muf1ed sound that
seemed to come from the air, and there was
something SO mystic, ious and weird in it that
jim, who sal bolt upright in, bed shivered

ears, protruding cyeballs, and when he
caught the sound once more he clutched his
sleeping companion with frantic energy, un'
til his teeth ratified, and sh.ieked:

The hostler was alarmed and came run.

puppy who had caused so great agitation
was found. Jim and Bob got sober at length
and they havn't been on spree since.
