interests of his men. The chaplain was

"Well do you pay much attention to
the religious instruction Of your men 7"
"Not much; very little said about

"Well, ] just called to mention the
fact that in the Fifth Regiment the
Lord has blessed our labors wonderful,
and ten men have already been bap-

A WIPE's CHIEF DUrY.-A wife
acts not for herself alone, but she is
the agent Of many she loves, and she is
bound to act for their good and not
for her osn qualification. Her hus-
bands good is he,end at which she
should aim-his appreciation is her re-
ward. Sel-gratiGca:ion in dress, or
indulgence in appetite, or more COM
pany than his purse can well entertain,
are equally pernicious. The first adds
vanity to extrayagance-the second
iastens doctors bill to a long butchers
account-and the latter brings in~
temperance, the worst of all evils, in
its train.
How TO PATRoNrzE Your LOCAL
PApER.-Take 4 city weekly because il
gives more "news;" when you want
your printing done send to Cincinnati
aud get it.-Then curse the village edi-
tor because he is poor, and his paper
don't amount to much. There are
some people in the world we are asham-
ed of. They have about as much soul
as last years grass-hopper, and we
have about as much respect for the one
as the other.-Er. x ,s-r,rfT'-
RABBITs.-A farmer near London,
Canada West, has two thousand rabbits
in warren five acres in extent. The
cost of and attention to be paid to these
animals involves an expense of twenty
FIVE cents for each rabbit, and the not
profits on the whole warren amount to
$1,000 q year. The annual average in-
crease is twenty-five rabbits for each
pair. The males, when year old, are
killed and sent in barrels to market at
Montreal.
SUPPOSED FATAL SHOOTING
AFFRAY.-A serious shooting affray
occurred yesterday afternoon, about
half past 5 o'clock, in front of the
store of AIr. e. Pollard, on Main sreet,
between two young men named l..
Won Biemau and H. .Gray-in which
the lattea received a pistol bullet In
the lungs, which will likely prove NOR:
tai. Seven or eight shots were fred
l. was Q personal affair altogether-'
politics having nothing whatever to do
with the Columbia Phenir.
The man who don't advertise has his
store hung around with shingles and
pieces of barrel-herds, inscribed with
lampblack "Irish Pertaters," "Korn
Nee" )" "Flower," "All kinds Of kount-
ty projuce," "Kaikes and Handles for
sell here" lie says: "There arn't'
no use in noospaper advertising so long
as a man is smart enuff to tend to his
own business, and kin stand at the door
and holler the fcllcrs in."".> .s-l
The attention Of philanthrophists is
respectfully called to the following
case: A dandy swell in New York is
in fix. His pants were made 80
tight for hin that he crn't get hiss
boots on, and if he puts his boots on
first, lie cant get the pants on. This
is case of genuine distress.
"What's that" said teacher,
pointing to the letter, (, to little
ragged urohin.
"Daldy's name,"
"No, no, my boy" a..5
eyes Ii is, we seen him write it d
gccd many times"
Don't SLAM TIE DooR,-Better
leave il open if you cannot close it
gentIy-sve1 if it is cold. Go through
the world gently. II is vulgar to slam
the door. It implies temper-while ii
may &c only a habit. If only a habit,
