The Jersey Farmer and the ParsOn

A Jersey friend tells some odd thing,
about the pecple of his ncighborhood
the rea, old Jersey stock One farmer
was singularlv impressed with the minis
ters statement that the sun did not re-
volve around the earth, but the earth re-
volved both on its axis daily. and around
the sun yearly Now this Farmer be-
lieved in the Bible. and the Bible explic-
lilly stated that Joshua commanded the
sun to stand Stil-which was proofpositive
that it revolved around tn. earth This
view of the case occurred to him one day
when at work in the field; So abandoning
the plow he made his wav 70 the par
son, and stated the Biblical fact in terms
that gave the reverned man to under
stand that no man believing otherwise
| could believe in the Bible. All said
| rhe preacher, !" that is true: Joshua or
| dered the sun to stand srill. and it hash [
moved ince." The p homer was fen
ced, and he now firmly believes that
Joshua alone is resposihle for the suns
| fix.

4 PROFITABLE DREAM-The St. JOS

ports the following for tn" benefit of un-
believers in dreams: In the fall of 1867
now more than two years ago-a person

= county clerk, Mr., w. NJ. Sherwno
M made payment Of a claim of t.
'puEtv warrants of fifty doPais each. Ia
NO tht cler"k-s receipts Mr. Sherwo,
aid the warrants awav. and forgot wher'
he had placed them. He searched every
nook and corner OF his Office without suc-
cess. They were lost effectualy. The
deputy clerk, Mr.. VI. K Sherwood wa.
absent at the time, and Of cource knew
nothing ofthem. Last Monday Mr.. Sher-
wood taxes were to be paid, and he
dolefnlly remarked to his son and deputy.
"kinsey. if only had those two lost war
rants now, how nicely they would come in
for the payment of these taxes. This
little speech made deep impression on
the sons mind and sympathizing with
the old gentleman, he gave the subject a
long cogitation. That night he dreamed
of the warrants-that they were in a Ger
tain ''p'geon hole" of desk at the Office.
The dream affected him so strongly that
the next morning he told his father and
other parties of it, expressing a belief
| that the warrants were in he place his

Mr., Hudson saw at once that he was a
very unwelcome guest. The room was
in confusion, and Seymour actions were
painfully awkward Nevertheless his
employer started conversation and had
been there about ten minutes, when a
footstep was heard on the stairs; and
then the door opened little way, and a
bottle of champagne came rolling across
the floor. followed by ronnd of Dutch

Mr. Hudson was not long in making
IN. his mind as to which one of his clerks

and in less than week it was announc-
ed that Herbert Bond was a member of
the firm of BENJAMIN Hudson & Co"
1t was happy day for Herbert, for he
could live at home again, amid the
scenes of his childhood; and it was not
many years before he managed the whole
of the business himself, and became a
wealthy man.

never ceased to regret having formed

The Senatorial question is still the ques-
ton among some of our exchanges. Those
that desired to exhibit great humility and at
the same time propitiate the Administration,
favored the election Of Senators by the Leg
islature, and particularly the election Of Cen
Williams, as the especial favorite of Gen.
Grant. Mr.. Alexander Rives and Mr..
Gardner Paxton have taken some pains to
upset this little plan. They show that DR..
Sharp and others and not Gen. Williams is
Grants choice. (Wonder if Mr.. Rives and
Mr.. Paxton are among tho others p AT any
rate there is muddle just now. Some, who
have argued persistently for Grants choice,
are at sea. They don't know exactly whom
to favor Sharp they know, but the Others
bothers them. If they must have Grant
Senator, they can only get it by going it

"well enough" alone and. unless Atty Gen,
