WANTED THE MAN Thrown IN
A Canadian clergyman not long
stree was called upon by an Irish
girl, who asked how much he charged
for "marrying anybody"
He replied "a dollar and a half"
and Biddy departed.
A few evenings later, on being
summoned to the door he was &C
costed by the same person, with the
remark that she had come to be
married.
"Very WE'LL" said the minister !;
but perceiving with astonishment
that she was alone, he continued,
"Where is the man p
An expression of disappointment
passed over Biddy's features as she
calculated:
"And don't you find the man for
a dollar and a h&tf ?"

Noise and Boys.

There is only one thing in tue
created world that we love better
than boy, and that is girl. |
A boy who will not make mud pies,
and carry broken glass in his pocket,
and lick any other boy lie is able to,
and tear his trowsers every. day,
and put peas in his little sisters
ear, and break the sewing mashiDe,
and steal jam, and take the bowels
out of the clock. and climb, and
slide, and jump, and pitch, and yell,
and make his mother wish she was
dead, and be an eternal, unresting
nuisance to everybody from the
time he is born till he reaches the
age of really manhood-w say,
boy who will not do all these, and
more, is not fit to live and ought to
be drowned like weak kitten.
Noise is the boys natural element.
He can easier exist without bread
than without noise. 1t is sign of
health, and vigorous physical and
mental growth. So we are in favor
of boys-and noise.
But we put it to you5 fellow bus
ters Of the noisy persuasion-Do
you think it is quite the thing, in a
crowded street, with fiery horses
whirling gay vehicles at two forty
gate, and many helpless little ones
| Just on tbs way home for the night,
to throw firecrackers under the said
horses heels, or fire your pistol in
the said little ones ears? Come,
now, is it gentlemanly to frighten
poor children, who are not big
enough to wallop a fellow if they
don't like it?
You say it was ga very green
trick for that countryman to leave
his wagon with the horses un-
hitched,' and we agree with you
that it would be most excruciating
fun to fire your pistol off or let off
a bundle of fire crackers, and scare
the horses wild, until they would
ruin off and tear things, and perhaps
kill child or two, or frighten two
or three other teams so as to have
a general diabolfcal good time,
Here comes boy ON horseback
| Go for him! He can hardly hold on
as it is, and one fire cracker we'll
directed will insure a broken leg OF
or a broken head for him! Now.
there is scarcely boy living that
could resist such an opportunity as
this. But don't you think, leaving
noise out of the question, it would
be beastly cruel thing to do?
There goes a dog! Fair game
for any boy! "Poor fellow-come
here-good dog-poor fellow y
One boy strokes his head, and
another goes to the rer with bunch
of fire crackers to tie fast-ther
touch 'em off, and see him run and
howl! Fun alive, isn't it? But
lust outside the noise you know
don't YOU think it YVES q sneakine
trick to fool dog so, and wasn't il
inhuman and unmanly to pretend
| friendship for a chance to torture
i Oh, we are not lecturing you
! not q bit. We like you too we'll
and we like the noise, and all that
! But, boys, when you get to be mer
you will learn, or ought to learn
that the liberty Of the individual
must not be permitted to destroy
the liberty Of the many. And this
J means, that you have no right te
have your fun at the expense of des
troying the enjoyment of others

SKATING WITH THE GIRLS,

Come, girls. get on your jockey hats
Dress in your skating suits,
Be sure to lace up snugly
Your pretty little boots; ....
And we will all go skating,
For the ice Is clear and bright,
The moon will soon be up. my dears,
Well have lovely night.
Then soon we're off, little hand
Tucked snugly meath each arm,
While all the boys are talking love,
And keeping darlings warm,
OH don't you think it's jolly,
Mixing up ones self with .curls,
And going off on moonlight nights
Skating with the girls3
But when it comes to putting on
Lord love us, amt it nice.
To hold the darlings little feet,
For they have to be precise
Or the skate won't fit SO snugfy,
So with many twists and twirls,
How long it takes in putting on
The skates of pretty girlsr''
The foot's so small so very trim,
The boot so high and neat
Perhaps a glimpse of stockings white.
May cause your heart to beat.
1t takes so long to put on skates
Ofpretty ones with curls,
And yet we wish we always could
Go skating with the girls.

Brick worked along side of and ifhe

A Hundred Years to COME.

To-day we are striving, pushing,
grasping after wealth, honor, power,
and pleasure. The poor claim
wealth that they may be above
want, the rich seek to add to their
countless thousands. So are. we
rushing forward, reckoning not the
final result of our probationary ex
istence. No one ever appears to
think how soon we must sink into
oblivion-that we are one genera
ton of millions Yet such is the
fact. Time and progress lave,
through countless ages, come march
ing hand in hand--the one destroy
ing, the other building up. They
seem to create little or no commo-
ton, and tie work Of destruction is
as easily and silently accomplished
as child will pull to pieces a rose.
Yet such is the fact. A hundred
years hence, and much that we now
see around US will too have passed
away. 1t is but the repetition of
life's story; we are born, we live,
we die. Think then of the sJuls
that are above, imperishable> The
souls of countless millions still
exist in punishment or in bliss.
We all within our g.laves shall sleep
hundred yeas to come;
Noliving soul for us will weep
A hundr ed years to come.
But otter men our land will till.
An :. other men our streets will fill,
And other birds will sing as gay,
AS bright the sunshine as to-day,
A hundred years to come.

The Oil City Times is response 4
BILE for the following-:.
On Tuesday morning last. as Mr..
VIM. Thompson, assisted by Robert
r. Smith, was engaged in making an
excavation near tile house of the
former, about a half a mile north
of West Hickory, preparatory to
erecting derrick, they exhumed an
enormous helmet of iron, corroded
with rust Further digging brought
to light a sword, which measured
nine feet in length. Curiosity in
cited them to enlarge the hole, and
after some little time they discov-
cred the bones of two enormous
feet. Following up the "lea,r' they
had so unexpectedly struck, in a
few hours time they had unearthed
a we'll preserved skeleton of an
enormous giant, belonging to spe-
cies of the human family which
probably Inhabited this and other
parts of the world at that time, of
which the Bible speaks, when it
says: "And there were giants in
those days. The helmet is said to
be of the shape Of those found
among the ruins of Nineveh. The
bones of the skeleton are remark
ably white. The teeth are all in
their places, ,and all of them are doub-
le,and of extraordinary size. These
relics have been taken to Tionesta,
where they are visited by large numb
ers of people daily. When his giant
ship was in the flesh, he must have
stood eighteen feet in Ills stockings.
These remarkable relics will be for
warded to New York early next
week. The joints of the skeleton
are now being glued together
These remains were found about
twelve feet below the surface of {
mound which had been thrown ur
probably centuries ago, and which
was not more than three feet above
the level Of tie grounu around it
Here is another nut for antiquari
ans to crack.

An apothecarv,s how was 1atel

An apothecary's boy was lately
sent to leave at one house a box of
pills, and at another six live fowls.
Confused on the way. he left the
pills where the fowls should have
gone, and the fowls at the pill place.
The folks who received the fowls
were astonished at reading the ac-
companying direction: Swallow

Why Father Hyancinthe came
Here.

During the summer of 1867, q
Roston gentleman. together with his
wife and widowed sister were in
Paris. OF course they, among the
other wonders of the French capi
tai, went to hear Pere. Hyacinthe.
The widow, who is young, has but
one child and is quite wealthy, fell
in love with the Pere. Finally
meetings were brought about, at
which she expressed so much JOY
that the feeling became mutual. Al
though the Carmelite had begun to
express himself freely in public re-
garding religious matters, he did not
go far enough to suit his female
adorer, who had more extended
views, both religious and political,
regarding matters in a monarchical
country, where church and state are
so closely allied. Under the tutel-
age of the Boston lady the priest
became more and more outspoken
in his views, and finally, events cul-
minated in his retirement from his
monastic orders, and it was sup
posed he had gone to Passy to keep
quiet. It was not known for some
time in France that he had gone TO
America; but he, as everybody no W
knows, came here, and after remain
ing in this city some weeks. so as to
get rid Of all taint of suspicion, went
to Boston, where he met the lady
who had drawn him hither. It is
with the intention of settling pri-
vate affairs in France that he re-
turned; but before long, as has been
limited, he will return to America
and probably remain here, and marry
the lady who has drawn him away
from fatherland and mother church.

Round dances.


The following dialogue is from
the Catholic literary magazine pub
lished in Philadelphia called Our
Own.
What eye can follow the course of
a couple of modern whirligigs as
they describe their wondrous circles
over the ballroom floor? Like sea-
worthy crafts they alternately dip,
and pitch, and slim-now appearing
in full sail before what would seem
IA steady brcese; then obeyillg the
sudden rising of the instrumental
gale, they swing to the leeward, roll
to the windward, and after brief
struggle are submerged altogether,
and found at last in some out of-the
way corner, painting, gasping, per
spring, but suptemely happy, and
ready for another. cruise. Now the
question arises, in what does the
extreme pleasure consist? Perhaps
the following conversation between
a young lady and a clergyman may
throw some light on the subject:

"you know the lady has to be sup.
ported, and so her partner just
touches her waist lightly, and
''But that would afford no sup
port.''
"Well, she rests on his ar-hand
just little, Father
''But then she must have a super
fuous hand if he takes but one"
"Oh, she rests her other hand upon
his shoulder just enough to steady
herself"

"If many couple dance at once,
