Heavy Work.

AT the recent Congregational Union,
among many good stories told was the
following, by Rev. DR.. Storrs:
| have done some heavy work in the
way of platform spesking-very heavy it
was, at any rate, to the audience, for
have no doubt they felt as the Scotch
minister's congregation did. You remem-
Der when he told his neighbor that he
spoke two hours and half the day
before, the neighbor said to him:
Why, minister, were you not tired to
death?"
"Ah, no." said he, {" l was as fresh as q
rose; but it would have done your heart
guild to see how tired the congregation
was"
You recollect when Robert Treat Paine
(you don't recollect it, but you may re-
member the fact was on the bench of the
Supreme Court of Massachusetts,, he had
got to be quite aged (Robert Treat Paine,
the father of the poet, by the way, don't
confOund them,) and the bar desired
him to retire from the bench. SO they
appointed Harrison Gray Otis, who was
very polite and accomplished, to go and
see the Judge and talk with him on the
subject. He suggested to the Judge that
it must be great inconvenience to him
to leave his home so often and so long
"Oh, he was always ready to sacrifice
his personal preferences for the good of
the country"
"But," suggested Otis, "you are not in
good health, you are infrm; aren't you
afraid this excessive duty will kill you !"
"Yes," said he, "but man cannot die
in better cause than administering just
ice."- Laughter
"Do you see as well as you used to!"
"Yes; l can see with my glasses very
we'll"
"Can you hear as well as you used
to?"-(for it was notorious that he could
not hear anything unless yelled through q
trumpet .)-He said:
"Yes, l hear perfectly but they don't
speak as loud as they did before the
Revolution"

A MAN from the country invested five
cents in the purchase of an orange, and
preparatory to getting himself outside of
it threw the peel on the sidewalk. Soon
after young woman came along, slipped
upon the peel, and fell upon the walk,
breaking her leg. The young woman was
to have been married the next day, but
wasn't. The man who was to have mar.
ried her had come from st. Paul, Mime
sofa, and was obliged to return on account
of business, to await the recovery of the
girl. On his way back he unfortunately
took train on the Erie railroad, which
ran off the track. and his shoulder blade
was broken, forcing him to stop at Dun
kirk for repairs The Travellers Insur-
ance Company. in which he was insured,
had to pay $3.50 in weekly installp ents
before he recovered. On getting back to
st. Paul, he found that his forced absence
had upset a business arrangement which
he had expected to complete, at pecu-
MARY loss to him of $4,000. Meantime
the injured girl suffered relapse, which
80 enteebled her health that her marriage
was delayed, which had a bad effect upon
the young man, and he finally broke the
engagement and married a widow in Min
nesota, with four small children. This 80
worked upon the mind of the girl that
she is now in the insane hospital in Mid
dletown. Her father, outraged by the
conduct of the young man, brought suit
for breach of promise, and has just re-
covered $4,000. The anxiety and ex-
pense of the whole affair thus far has
been enormous, as anybody can see
Similar cases are likely to occur so long
as people will persist in throwing orange

New Method Of Bookkeeping.

Some time since, barber was brought
before the police court at Paris, charged
with having customers in his house after
midnight. The examination was thus re-
ported.
Barber-It is the fault of this person,
Merlon, who is in the court, as he has not
time to be shaving until late at night.
The President-You ought not, at all
events, to disturb the peace there were
cries issuing from your house, as if you
had been committing murder.
Merlon-He was shaving; that's almost
the same thing. Laughter.l
The President-Was it you, then, Mer-
lon, who was crying out as if you were
being fayeds
Merlon-Yes, in fact he was flaying me
La general laugh, he was cutting me hor-
ribly.
Barber-It is very true, but made q
mistake.
Merlon-Did you mean to cut me-?
Barber-I did not say that-Tprolonged
laughter Il certainly did not mean to cut
him so deep. Loud and continued laugh
teri
The President.-Did you then cut him
on purpose?
Barber.-Indeed 1 did, in the spirit of
my order. You understand, one does not
like to be below his business.
The President and Merlon together
And why?
Barber.-The whole affair is this: Mr..
MerlOn is not to be trusted, as he does not
pay the ready money. He used to cheat
me in the number of shaves for which he
owed me; when he had twelve, he used to
say that he had only six, so that lost both
my razor, my soap, and my time At last
devised method of keeping q reckon
ing not to be disputed.
The President-How was thatp
Barber.-Every time l shave him, l
make notch in his cheek general
laughter ]; when we count up, look at his
cheek-so many notches, so many shaves
renewed laughter; but the other day the
razor turned in my hand-I made the
figure too large and it was this that made
him cry out and disturb the neighbor-
hood.
Amidst general laughter, the barber
was condemed to pay the full penalty,
and the President advised him to renounce
in future his new system of keeping &C.

A VERY singular case of somnambulism
recently occurred in Chicago. A young
man was found walking the streets of the
city In somnolent condition. He was
taken to the County Hospital, where he
was awakened after having been in q
somnabulistic state for four days. He
states that while in that condition he was
cognizant of what was transpiripg around
him, and several times attempted to make
signs to be provided with pencil and
some paper 80 as to write out q communi-
cation, but was unable to make himself
understood. Chicago medical men pro-
nounce this one of the strangest cases of
somnolence that has come unde- u
supervision.
