The Mean Nan Got Concerted.


There was great revival in the rigion where
old Smithers, as everybody called him, lived,
and it took hold If him one day. Smithers was
dreadful mean man, oppressive to the poor and
all that, and never paying debt if he could
help it. He bad been known to turn poor
widow, with family of small children, out into
the streets of ~ cold winters day, because she
was unable to pay rent for the miserable shanty
she had of him He was only known as "Old
Smithers," although he wasn't very old
either but we have noticed that mean men have
the frefx 'od'' attached to their names generally
when their neighbors speak of them.
Old Smthers "took habit" as they say in
Wisconsin, to attend one of the ''protracted
meetings." He was struck with conviction the
first night and hopefully converted, as he claimed,
the next. After his conversation be was an
nounced 10 address his fellow sinners and sin
neresses on the following Sunday afternoon. The
news that old Smithers had got religion spread
all about tine neighbornood. Some doubted it !;
said he was putting it on so as to skin folks a
little closer others, more charitable, said it
so mean in the future if it was
When Sunday afternoon arrived the church was
crowded. The entire neighborhood turned out
to her what so mean man as old Smthers would
say for himself after passing through conviction
and conversion. All was still in the church when
old Smithers arose to speak. He began by telling
what mean man he had been all his life He
said he had probably done more mean things
than any man of his years and opportunities
living, and if there was any mean thing he had
failed to do it was either because he hadn't
thought of it, or there was no good chance.
After going somewhat into details regarding his
meanness, astonishing even those who thought
they knew him best with the recital, and
declaring his utter unworthless, he resumed his
seat.
There was brief pause, after which neighbor
of old Smithers, a member of the church, arose
| and said ~ have lived nigh neighbor to Brother
Smithers for long time. have just listened to
| Brother Smithers' remarks, and, from, an inti-
mate acquaintance with him and his actions for
many years, I am prepared to endorse in the
fullest manner all the charges he has made against
himself, and more too. He is certainly the meanest
man ever knew in the whole course of my life, "
| and sat down.
Then arose old Smithers, pale and trembling
with rage, aud exclaimed, dts id lie, and
I'll whip you US soon as you leave the church" +"

VELocIpEpEs are humbug. so far as
practibility is concerned They run
nicely on a smooth, level floor, but make
poor Roadway over uneven walks or
going up grade, and they cannot be run
at all on sandy or muddy roads They
are good substitute for the sleds used by
hoys in winter time, which they ride
down hill on but have to be pulled up.
1t is rather ludicrous sight to see full
grown man astride one Of these vehicles
with arms spread like bird in the act of
sailing through the air, his feet on the
levers or cranks, and treading up and
down as though he was trying to walk in
the air, and while in this attitude come
to dead stand still, lose his balance and
tumble off. A fellow might about as
we'll expect 20 lift himself over ten rail
fence by the boot-straps as to think of
running one of these masheens up a
grade. We notice that some of the learn
ers have worn their coat-tails off, owing
to their determination to ride or die !
This is one Of the signs by which you
may know a velocipedist; and we have
also noticed that they usually walk with
their feet apart This is doubtless occa-
stoned by their having contracted the
habit of spreading their feet when riding.
We must say that it does not Improve a
kentlcman's appearance upon tie street,
and unless they intend never appearing
as anything else than a velocipedist, we
would advise them to desist from the
farther use Of the vehicle.
In conclusion We would ask: Why is a
learner on n velociped e like railroad
locomotive?
