4 Practical APPLICATION OF THE
SCRIpruREs.-NichoIa Vain, though reg
ular Quaker preacher was a great wag and
many are the good things said by him which
are still current in certain Philadelphia
circles. He was once travelling on horseback
in the interior of Pennsylvania in company
with two Methodist preachers. They discussed
the points of difference in their respective
sects, until they arrived at the ion where they
were to put UP for the night. Atsuprer, VAIN
was seated between the two Methodists, and
before them was placed plate containing two
trout Each of the circut>riders placed his
fork in fish and transferred it to his plate,
after which each shut his eyes and said an au-
diblc grace before meat The Quaker awaited
himself of the opportunity to transfer both of
The trout to his own plate, merely remarking,
when the others opened their eyes, Your re-

A couple of Yankee girls put bull
frog into a young mans bed 10 see if they
could get him to talk Charley threw the
frog out of the window aud never said word.
Soon after he put lot Of chestnut burs into
the girls bed, and about the time he thought
they would make the least shadow, Charley
went to the door, and ratified the latch flu
riously. Dat vent the light, and in went the
girls; but they didn't stick, though the burs
did. Calling to item, he begged them to be
quiet; he oaly wanted to know if they had
seen that pesky bull frog; he'd give two dol
lars to find him!

sYCoNIPosIToR.-In the Office of a
eonsih Journal there is compositor who
type- so rapidly that the friction of his
yeheuts fuses the leaden emblem in his
alex, making them solid stereotype plate
The only wy to prevent this is to have his
case submerged in water; and the rnpidity of
his motion keeps the water boiling and bub>
bling SO that eggs have been boiled in the
space box. Pipes lead from the bottom Of
his case to boiler in the press room, and the
steam generated by the fast compositor's mo-
ton runs the power press In one day he set
so much that it took all hands, from editor
to devil, three weeks TO read proof, and it
wasn't Lis good day for setting type either.

Mrs. L. in possession of the field and the
trophy of whiskers!
Mr.. Lincoln rearranged his toilet, and
like brave hero, went to the reception
But alasl in this case the truth of the
old adage, if you dance you must pay
the piper" was fully exemplifed.
On his return to the bosom of his fam
lily he found the door leading to his
sleeping room locked. In vain he called
upon his wife to open it. She would
not. In vain he used every term of en-
dearment. She was immovable. So,
vanquished in the final encounter, the
poor man had to call upon the house
keeper for a !" shakedown." Then he re-
tired in solitude to reflect upon the un-
certainty Of domestic bliss.
From woman's standpoint, have
often questioned myself in regard to one
thing-whether at the time of Abraham
Lincoln's death he was martyred for the
first time ? | rather think he was a
martyr of many years standing.
