SAMBo's RELIGIOUS TRoUBLEs.-The
serio-comic ideas that enter the head of
Sambo, when exercised on religious mat
tcrs, causing anxiety to himself, but
laughter to the listener, were exemplified
in the case of an 'suncle" in Chester,
South Carolina, who had been to a camp
sncetipg, and returned greatly troubled
atout his sins. Pcrceiving him one day
with downcast look, his master asked
him the cause.
ooh, Massa, I'm such great sinner"
''But, Pete, you are foolish to take it
so much to heart. You never sec me
troubled about my sins"

so out duck-hunting, and kill one and
wound another, don't you run artcr de
wounded duck ?''
Eyes, Pete" And the master won
dcred what was coming next.

AGRICULTURAL.

AGRICULTURAL.
Oh, have a little farm :
And little field of clover; {
Such farm you'll never find,
you seek the wide world over.
Oh, have a little wife,
And never want to change her
She's the sunshine of my life,
And I'll Shield her from all danger.
Then have little son,
Such roguisn little fellow;
And he runs and rolls about
Like an apple ripe and mellow.
Then cheer fer my little farm,
and my little field of clover;
Such a farm you'll never, never find,
If you seek the wide world over.

It has been found out that the secret

1t is an important discovery in Nevada,

TO take the greatest weight of grain from

instead of corn, and when the scum of
cities enriches the earth instead of pol
luting air and deGling water.
Wheat bran, oatmeal, scraps of meat,
cheese rinds should be fed to hens at this
time of the year because they contain
albumen, of which there is much in an
egg. Chopped vegetables will make
them healthy; corn meal is more useful
in fattening poultry.

OUR RELIGIOUS COLUMN.
A Choir Caught.

We know Of more than one pastor who has
been greatly annoyed by what goes on in his
choir (quartette or otherWise). If there Ia no
singing after the morning sermon, it sometimes
happens that the organist the chorister or
other members of the company who do the
music, find it convenient to take themselves
away, as their part of public worship is done.
If there is singing after the sermon, they can
time it so as 10 be absent for a while, and
by guess-work or a preconcerted signal
to be back in season. A certain pastor
in this State, who had been much dis
turbed by this operaton-visible to him.
but invisible and unknown to the congregation,
thought he would try his hand at cure. Keep
ing his own counsel, one day, when the choris-
ter and organist had left the house. and he was
in the midst of his sermon, he concluded to
have hymn sung for relief. There was great
alarm in the gallery. member of the choir
rushes out to find the missing officials. The
hymn is given out and an awful pause ensues.
The congregation look round in an uneasy
state, but the minister can bear it. At length
the absentees are found and broughtin, and the
congIeeation-put in possession of some valua-
Bile fac.s,-COngreqdt tiondlisi.
