"Hogs, I've Got You Now"

some years ago. an eccentric genius, Hunt,
used to give temperance lectures. One night
he announced that he would lecture in Easton.
Now, temperance was not in favor among the
male portion Of that burg The women, how
ever, were all in for the pledge" and conse-
quently on Hunts first night not a man show
ed himself at the hall. The benches were
pretty well filed with women, though, and
Hunt commenced but instead of temperance,
he put them through on the vanities Of dress,
etc. They wore great stuffed feather sleeves
then. They the sleeves) caught it, then their
tight lacing, and so on thro' the whole cata-
logue Of female folliesj not word about tenn
perance. Aud the ladies went home hopping
mad. told their husbands about it, and voted
Hunt down on the lowest notch
He had announced that he would lecture at
the same place the next night. Long before
the time appointed they commenced to come,
and when Hunt hobbled down the isle, the
building was comfortably well filled with men.
The old fellow looked about, chuckled and
muttered, Hogs, I've got you now" The
audience stared "Aha, hogs, I've got you
now T.
After the crowd had got quiet little, tie
lecturer arose and said:
Friends, you wanted to know what ]
meant by saying, Hogs, I've got you now,
and I'll tell you. Out West, the hogs run
wild; and when folks get out Of meat they
catch young pig, put strap uuder his body
aud hitch him to ayonng sapling that will just
swing him from the ground nicely. Ofcourse
he squcals and raises rumpus, when all the
old hogs gather around to see what's the mat
ter, and then they shoot them at leisure. Last
night hung a pig up hurt it little, and
it squealed. The old hogs have turned out
tonight to see the fun, and I'll roast you;

Pats Idea Of Deity.

Pat was but an idle boy one day he was
suddenly called up and the question propound-
ed by the pedagogue. Patrick how many
gods are there q Pat was not distinguished
theolosian, but lie promptly responded
"Three, sir." "Tske your seat" thundered
the master, and if you don't answer in five
minutes, | will welt you" The probationary
period passed, aud Pat taking the floor heSi-
tatingly stated the number Of Gods to be five.
Sir" He received the promised 90 weltiug aud
returned to his seat-ten minutes for consider
alton. Tea minutes up, Pat was up too, and
satisfied that he hadn t fixed the number sufii-
ciently high enough before, shouted out
" There's ten, sir" he saw the feru!e descend

ply. "How many Gods are there?" "0ne, F"

A Pleasant Picture.

Mark Twain says: 1t is evening The rich
glow Of the sinking sun casts athwart tho lit
tie cottage doorway mellow golden light that
enriches and inspires the scene. A balmy
breeze blows from the west, and the tall sur
rounding trces, and the hedge shrubbery, and
the bare garden stalks and bushes bend Their
tops, aud seem to nod pleasant goodnight to
the disappearing orb. A dream-like stiffness
settles about the place. The busy hum Of day
gradually sinks away, aud the peaceful calm Of
night gathers around about. Finally, all is
still and dark. The happy domestic circle
within the cosy cot prepare to enjoy the bliss
ful repose of even. Father and children are
grouped around the center table, and while the
man takes bis solace in BIS newspaper, the
young matron sits quietly by her work, and
the little ones discuss rag dolls and sugar plums
in the corner. The sweet voiced warbler, in
his golden cage above the viDe-clad window,
has ceased bis merry song; Carlo has gone TO
sleep on the rug; the playful kittens have
tired Of their gambols, and have curlcd up IN
their little box; and now no SQUAD is heard
save the crickets cbirup. Stiller aud darker
it grows until by-and-by the sharp " Hist "

MISCELLANEOUS.
End There is None.

Light ttaverses space at the rate Of a million
times minute, yet the light from the nearest
star requires ten years to reach the earth, and
Herschel's telescope retealed stars two thou
sand and three hundred time, farther distant.
The great telescope of Lord Rose pursued
these creations of God still deeper into space
and having resolved the nebule of the milky
way into the stars, discovered other systems
Of stars-beantiful diamond points. glittcrins
through the darkness beyond. When he be-
held the amazing abyss-when he saw these
systems scattered throughout space-when he
reflected upon their immense magnitude, and
the countless millions of worlds that belonged
to them-it seemed to him as though the wild
dream OF the German poet was tno'e than re-
allied. God called man in dreams into the
vestbule of heaven, saying, "Come UP hither
and will show you the glory of my house. "
And to his angels, who stood about his throne.
he said, "Take him, strip him of his robes Of
flesh cleanse his affections put new breath
into his postrils, but touch not bis human
heart--the heart that fears and hopes and
trembles" A moment, and it was done, and
the man stood ready for an unknown voyage.
Under the guidance of a mighty angel, with
sounds of flying pinions, they sped away from
the battlements of heaven. Sometimes on the
mighty angels wings they fled through Saba
ras of darkness Of death. At length, from a
distance not counted, save in the arithmetic OF
heaven, light beamed upon tEem-a sleepy
flame. as seen through hazy cloud. They
sped on in their terrible speed to meet the
light the light with lesser speed came to meet
them. In moment the blazing Of suns
around them-a moment the wheeling oi
planets then came long eteruites Of twilight
then again, on the right hand and en- the left,
appeared more consultations. At last the
man sunk down, crying, "Angel, | can so no
further let me lie down in the grave ard hide
myself from the infnitude of the universe for
end there is none" END there is none ?" de-
mandcd the Angel. And from the Slttering
stars that Shone around, there came choral
shout. END there is none ?" End there is

Advantages Of Earthquakes.

/ Father Cartwright, the famous Methodist
preacher, in his autobiography gives some
facts to show that Il i, earthquake proved an
element Of strength to the Mc,hodis;s. He
says:
In the winter # 1912 we had a very severe
earthquake. 1t seemed to stop the current Of
the Mississippi, broke Eat-boais from their
moorngs, aud opened large cracks or assures
in the earth. The earthquake struck terror to
thousands Of people, aud under the panic hum
dreds and thousands crowded TO aud joined the
different churches.
There were many interesting incidents con-
nected with the shaking Ct the earth a. ths
time. Two will name. bad preached at
Nashville, the night before the second dreadful
shock came, to large congregation. Early
the next morning arose and walked out on
the hill near the house where | had preached,
when saw negro woman coming down the
lill to the spring with an empty pail on her
head. 1t is very common for negroes to carry
water in this way, without touching the pail
with either hand.
When she got within few rods Of where
stood the earth began to tremble and jar
chimneys were thrown down, scafiolding around
many buildings fell with loud crash, hundreds
Of citizens suddenly awoke and spraug into the
streets loud screaming followed, for many
! thought the day Of Judgment was come. The
young mistresses of the above-named negro
woman came rushing after her, aud begged
her to pray for them. my Jesus is coming
in the clouds Of heaven, and | cant wait 10
pray for you now; must 90 aud meet him.
| told You so, that he would come, and you
would not believe me- Farewell. Halleujee
Amen" And on she went shouting and clap
ping her hands, with the empty pail on her
head.
Near Russellvlle Logan County, Ky, lived
old Brother Valentine Cook, Of very precious
memory, with his wife Tabitha Brother Cook
was graduate of COokesbury College, at an
early day in the history Of Methodisln in the
United States He was a very pous, success
full pioneer preacher, but, for the want of a
sufficient support for rising and rapidly in-
creasing family, he had located and was teach
log school at the time Of the above named
earthquake. lie sprang out OF bed, throw
open the door, and began TO shout, and started
with nothing but his Dight-clothes on. He
steered his course east, shouting every step,
saying, My Jesusis comingW His wife took
after him, aud at the top Of her voice cried out,
40. Mr.. Cook. don't leave me p go, Tabby,"
said l,c, my Jesus is coming, and cannot
wait for you" and on he went, shouting at
every jump, my Jesus is coming, ] can't
wait for you, Tabby."
During the year Of excitement occasioned by
these earthquakes hundreds joined the Metho-
dist Episcopal Church, and though many wero
sincere and stood firm, yet there were hundreds
that had joined them from mere fright.
We hope the recent earthquakes in the New
England States have had similar moral effect.
God knows there is need Of repentance in that

Pulpit Advertising.

Rev. DR.. Newman in Washington, before
commencing his services on recent Sunday
made the following sensible remarks:
Al have occasion to repeat substantially this
morning what said unto you more than year
ago. that do not think the pulpit should be
made an advertising medium. Almost every
week receive large number of notices to
publish meetings, lectures, &c. 1t is contrary
to my idea Of propriety for two reasons: First,
We assemble here and propose to devote an
hour and half to divine service, and II Is hard
" consistent with that object that | should
spend fifteen minutes Of the time in reading no
tees; and secondly, do not wish to rob the
press. While | do not think much is gained
by reading notices from the pulpit, | do think
the legitimate business of the press is injured
The press ought to be sustained. Persons who
wish to advertise should choose that medium" q"

Keep the Small Potatoes Until Spring.

Farmers frequently feed their small potatoes
n fatt-n nios in the fall, Ii would be mich
better to keep them until spring, and then
cook them, mix them with little meal, and
feed them to sucking sows and young pigs
In the spring, before tue clover is ready to
turn into, we are generally short Of succulant
food. whereas in the autum we have apples,
pumpkins, cabbage leaves and variety OF
vegetables that will not keep until spring
The value of potatoes as food for stock does
not lie so much in the mere nutriment they
contain as in their giving tone to the stomach;
and they will prove much more useful when
fed ont to young pigs aud breeding sows in
the spring, as is usual, than when fed to fatten-
ing pigs in the fall.
