Taking the Census.

I N endeavoring to take the census for
IL the government, the marshals occa-
sionally meet with such difficulties as to
well nigh deprive them Of their senses
The following colloquy is said to have ta-
ken place i'll German town between dep
uty marshal and an Irish woman:
" How many male members have you
in the family?"
"Niver one"
When were you married ?"
"The day Pat Doyle left Tipperary for
Ameriky. All, well I mind it. A sun.
SINNER day niver gilded the sky of ovid
Ireland"
What was the condition of your hus-
band before marriage 2"
Divil man more miserable. He
said if didn't behave myself he'd blow
his brains out wild crowbar."
Was he at the time of your marriage
widower or a bachelor ?"
GA which widower did you say
All, now go away wild your nonsense. Is
it the likes Of me that would take up wild
a secondhand husband ? Do [ look like
the wife Of widower? A poor devil all
legs and consumption, ike sick turkey
A widower May l be blessed if l had
not rather live an ovid maid, and bring
up family on buttermilk and praties."

" Pray Without Ceasing.v

A sailor VINO had been long absent
from his native country, returned home,
flushed with money. Coming to London,
where he had never been before he re-
solved to crafty himself with the sight
of whatever was remarkable. Among
other places, he visited st. Paul's 1t
happened to be at the time of divine SER
vice. When carelessly passing, he heard
the words, =" Pray without ceasing," ut
tered by the minister, without having any
impression made upon his mind by them.
Having satisfied his curiosity in London,
he returned to his marine pursuits, and
continued at sea FOR seven years, without
any remarkable occurrence in his history.
One tine evening, when the air was soft,
the breeze gentle, the heavens serene, and
the ocean calm, he was walking the deck,
with his feelings soothed by the pleasing
aspect Of nature, when, all of sudden,
darted on his mind the words, "Prav

ing I? " What words can these be ?' he
exclaimed 81 think have heard them

don; the minister read them from the
Bible. What and do the Scriptures
say, Pray without ceasing?' Oh, what
wretch | must be to have lived so long
without praying at all =" God, who at
first caused him to hear this passage
in his ear, now caused it to spring
up in way, at a time, and with a
power peculiarly his own. The poor fel-
low now found the lightning of convio-
tion flash on his conscience-th thun-
ders Of the law shake his heart-and the
great deep of destruction threaten to
swallow him up Now he began for the
first time to pray; but praying was not

years before, placed in his chest, but

He snatched it up, put it to his breast,
then read, wept, prayed he believed, and
became new man.

A Ministerial Error.

1t is, think, an error into which many
of our modern ministers, whose education
has been carried to high pitch, have
fallen, that everything is to be done by
the head rather than heart. We know
very well, that the true method is to reach
the heart through the head, and men
must be made to feel by being shown why
they should feel, and what it is to make
them feel. But in many cases, especially
in the least educated, the head is to be
reached by appeals to the heart We
often hear the remark:
g Yes, it was smart sermon, but want
ed heart. 1t sparkled like the stars, or
shone like the moon on wintry nj ght,
but warmed no one"
have been sometimes struck, as every
one must have been, with the varying ef
feet produced by different speakers at q
public meeting and how much power
over an audience, and how much more
the object Of meeting has been accom-
plished by few gushes of simple elo-
quence from the heart of some earnest
and ardent advocate, than by the elabo-
rate, but passionless pleader. The latter
was coldly admired, and admitted to be an
eloquent speaker; but the former melted
and moved his audience by the depth
and intensity of his own feelings.

SLANDER.

Twas but a breath,
And yet woman's fair name wilted,
And friends one warm grew cold and stilted,
And life was worse than death.
One venomed word,
That struck it's coward, poisoned blow
In craven whispers, hushed and low,
And yet the wide world heard.
Twas but one whisper-one-
That muttered low for very shame
That thing the slahderer dare not name,
And yet its work was done.
A hint so slight,
And yet so mighty in its power,
A human soul in one short hour,
Lies crushed beneath it's blight.

Ube Tmes, Mem BLOOMFIELD, ]1a.

her trusting heart was we'll nigh broken
from its long waiting, when six weeks
ago, came letter from the wanderer. re-
citing his sad history. The second morn
ing after the wreck nothing was to be
seen of the other boats. With but a
small stock of provisions the Jerseyman
and his five companions, hoping against
hope, determined to shape their course
south OF east, trusting to make one of
the many groups of islands known to lie
IN that direction. After ten days toll,
during which two of the seamen died
from privations, the party reached small
island, when they were Immediately seiz-
ed by the natives and condemned to a
life of slavery. Their captors were can
nlbals, and long sought to induce the
white men to join them in their horrible
orgies; but finding both threats and. en-
treaties unavailing, they finally desisted
aud allowed their white slaves to eat such
food as they chose. One after another Of
his white companions died, until the Jer
seyman was left alone to his life Of SER
yitude among the savages, and so closely
was he watched that although many ships
touched at the island he was unable to COM
municate with them. At length schoon-
er from Australia dropped anchor during
| a night in March last, in cove near the
hut occupied by the Jerseyman, and be-
ing the first to discover her he seized a
canoe and padded on to her before any
Of the natives were astir. So long had
he been among the savages that he had
lost neavl y every recollection of his ori-
gin, and had forgotten his native lam
guage. After gaining the deck of the
schooner he was for some time unable to
articulate word and only after copious
flood of tears had relieved him was the
strong man able to utter the simple word
home" Finally, after many efforts, he
made the captain understand his story
which so affected the noble hearted sailor
that he at once wei ghed anchor and sail
ed for Melbourne, where he arrived after
a short passage. Here the Jerseyman
was kindly cared for by the authorities
but being too unwell to take passage by
the first steam er to Honolulu and San
francisco he sent letter containing the
Joyful tdings of his safety. Last week
letter in a mourning envelope, frou
Melbourne was received by the Jersey
mans family. 1t was from city official
and contained the sad tidings Of the wan
derers death. After twenty years Of
hardship and slavery, just as he was ready
to embark for his long coveted home, he
was called to take a longer more dreaded
journey, and in that far-of land, among
strangers, but among Christians, his spir

POPPING CORN.

And there they sat a-popping corn
John Stiles and Susan Cutter;
John Stiles was fat as any OK,
And Susan fat as butter.
And there they sat and shelled the corn,
And raked aud stirred the fire;
And talked of different kind of ears,
And hitched their chairs up higher.
Then Susan she the pepper shook,
Then John he shook the poker.
Till both their faces grew as red
AS saucepans made of copper.
And then they shelled,and popped and ate
All kinds Il fun a-poking;
And he haw-hawed at her remarks,
And she laughed at his joking.
And still they popped, and still they ate,
(John's mouth was like hopper }
And stirred the fire, and sprinked salt,
And shook and shook the pepper.
And still the corn kept popping;
1t struck eleven, and then struck twelve,
And still no signs of stopping.
And John he ate, and Sue she thought
The corn did pop and patter,
Till John cried out, "The corn's afire
Why, Susan ''what's the matter 20
Said she: "John Stiles, it's one O'Clock,
You'll die of Indigestion
Pm sick of all this popping corn
Why don't you pop the question 20

The Two Angels.

A traveller, who spent some time in
Turkey, relates beautiful parable which
was told him by the dervish, and it seems
even more beautiful than Sterne's cele-
brated figure of the accusing spirit and
recording angel:
" Every man" said the dervish, I" has
two angels, one on his right shoulder and
one on his left. When he does anything
good, the angel on the right shoulder
writes it down and seals it, because what
is well done is done forever. When he
does evil, the angel on the left side writes
it down till midnight. If before that
time the man bows his head and exclaims.
Gracious Allah l have sinned, forgive
meP the angel rubs out the record ; but
if not, he seals it, and the beloved angel
on the right shoulder weeps."
