LATE AT CHURCH.-One of the papers tells
the story of man coming into church after the
sermon had begun, whereupOn the preacher
said to him, Glad to see you, sir ; come in
always glad to see those here who can't come
early" To which salutation the stranger,
taking seat, as coolly replied, "Thank you
Would you favor me with the text?' Ger
tainly," was the answer, which was done, and
the discourse moved on as before.
This recalls Missouri incident One cold
night Rev. DIR. Ezra S. Ely, of Presbyterian
fame, was preaching in prairie farmhouse.
When about one-thrd through the sermon,
two latecomers rode up to the door and enter
ed. The doctor stopped and said that as these
friends were very cold with their ride, the
meeting would sing hymn while they were
warming themselves; which being done, he
observed that as they had taken so much
trouble to come, he would begin his discourse
again for their benefit; and, taking his text
accordingly, he commenced once more at the
beginning and repeated his sermon, rather
more to their edifcation than to that of the
rest of the audience, perhaps.

Why Should He.

How any young fellow can have the face to
walk into your family, and deliberately ask for
one Of your daug hterS, passes me. That it
is done every day does not lessen my aston
ishment at the sublime impudence of the
thing. There you have been, sixteen or sew
enteen, or eighteen years of her life, combing
her hair and washing her face for-hina. 1t
Is lucky the thought never strikes you while
you are doing it, that this is to be the end of
it all. What if you aoere married yourself?
that is no reason why she should be bewitched
away into a separate establishment Just as you
begin to lean upon her, and be proud of her !;
or at least it stands to reason, that after you
have worried her through the measles and
scarlet fever, and chicken-pox, and whooping-
cough, and had her properly baptised and vac
clnated, this young man might give you short
breathing spell before she goes.
He seems to be of different opinion he
not only insists upon taking her, but upon
taking her Immediately, if not sooner. He
talks well about livery we'll you have no
objection to him, not the least in the world ex-
cept that.
When the world IS full of girls, why couldn' t
he have his eye on somebody else s daughter I?
There are some parents who are glad to be rid
of their daughters. Blue eyes are as plenty
as blueberries why need it be this particular
pair Ism sne happy enough as she Is
Don't she have meat and bread and clothes
enough, to say nothing of love2 What is the
use of leaving certainty for an uncertainty,
when that certainty is a mother, and you can
have but one? You put all these questions to
her and she has the sauciness to ask if that is
the way you reasoned, when her father came
for you You disdain to answer, OF course, it
is mean dodging Of the question. But she
gets around you for all that, and so does he

How many mothers have had these fore
bOding thoughts over daughters wedding
clothes; and yet that daughter has met life,
and its unexpected reverses, with heroism
and courage as undaunted as if every girlish
tear had not been kissed away by lips, that
alas may be dust, when this baptism of wO-
manhood comes upon her. FANNY FERN

A CALIFORNIA OBITUARY Y.-Boddlepop
is dead The bare announcement will plunge
the city into unspeakable gloom. The death
of BOddlepOpster was most untimely; he
should have died twenty years ago. Probably
no man OF his day has exerted so peculiar an
influence on society as the deceased Ever
foremost in every good work out of which any
thing could be made, an unstinted dispenser of
every species of charity that paid a commission
to the disburser, Mr.. Boddlepopster was
model Of generosity, and weighed at the time
of his death one hundred and ninety odd
pounds.
Originally born in Massachusetts,, but for ten
years a resident of California and partially
bald, possessing cosmopolitan nature that
loved York shilling as we'll in proportion to
its value as Mexican dollar, the subject of
our memoir was one who it was an honor to
know, and whose close friendship was luxury
that only the affluent could afford. 1t shall
ever be the writer's proudest boast that he en-
jOyed it at less than half the usual rates. Mr.
B. was the founder of the famous BoddlepOp-
ster Institute, and, for some lyears preceding
his death, suffered severely from soft corn,
which has probably done as much for agricul-
ture as any similar concern in the foothills of
our State.
In 1863 he was elected an honorary member
of the Society for the Prevention of HUI
mainly to Mongolans, and but for the loss of
an eye in carrying out it's principles, would
have been one of the handsomest whites that
ever resided among us. There is little doubt
that he might have aspired to any Office in the
gift of the people, so universal was the es-
TEEN in which he was held. His last words,
as he was snuffed out, were characteristic OF
the man: he remarked: Fetch me that
catnip tea Il" The catnip consolation arrived
too late to be of any use; he had gone to the
devil. Farewell noble heart, pure soul, bright
!. - elect! We shall meet again.

BENEFIT OF LAUGHTER.-It is said by good
medical authority that there is not the remOt-
est corner or little inlet of the minute blood
vessel of the body that does not receive some
wavelet from the convulsion occasioned by
good, hearty laughter, and also that the "cen-
trail man, or life principle, is shaken to its in
nermost depths, sending new tides of life and
strength to the surface, and thus materially
tending to insure good health to persons who
indulge therein. The blood moves more rap
idly-probably caused by some chemical or
electric modification occasioned by the convul-
slon-and conveys different impression to all
the organs of the body as it visits them on
that particular mystic journey, when the man
Is laughing, from what it does at other times.
For this reason every good hearty laugh in
which person INDUCES tends to lengthen his
life, conveying, as it does, new and distinct
stimulus to the vital forces. We doubt not
the time will come when physicians, concedng
more Importance than they now do to the in
tiuence of the mind upon the vital forces of the
body, will prescribe to the torpid and mean-
choly patient certain number of hearty peaTs
| OF laughter, to be undergone at stated periods,
and we believe that they will, in SO doing, find
the best and most effective method of produc-
ing the required effect upon the patient. Our
advice to all is, indulge in good, hearty peals
oil soulful laughter, when the opportunity of

therefrom, charge us with uttering false prin.

SIX YEARS Aao.-In the year lsGIstaa a,
will take the trouble to examine, you will fnd
that the dates of the months and the DAYS of
the week correspond exactly with those Of the
present year. Those having diaries of 1865
will find they are of use this year, and the di-
aries of 1871 will be of service in the same way
in 1876. For instance the Goth of March came
on Monday ''65 as well as II and will be on the
same day in '76. Such is one of the laws of
the universe, which time alone makes and

Hoods Married Life.

Socrates, Job, Milton, Byron, Shelley, with
many others, have been unhappy in their
wives. 1t is pleasant, therefore, to know that
Hoods case was bright exception. Despite
the sorrows, hardships and lifelong disease
that crippled his energies and marred his life,
the union was singularly happy one. Mrs.
Hood was woman of cultivated mind, great
moral worth and literary sympathies. She
was her husband constant nurse through an
illness that never left him cheered him when
dull acted as amanuensis, and, during the
last few years of his life, so devoted to him
her whole time and thoughts, that latterlY
Hood became restless and unable to write un-
less she were near She needed sweet tenn
per to put up with husband so brimful of fun
and practical jokes as Hood. Nothing seemed
to rutfie her temper, and she was always ready
to join in the laugh, even when against her.
self. The reason was that she knew and loved
her husband perfectly. Nothing could shake
her confidence in him, and the rouge was apt
at times to take advantage of her faith. She
required to keep strict watch on every letter
she wrote, for if she left it for any time in
Hoods presence, he would take advantage of
her absence to change the It's" into Is and
after interlining here aud there the most ex-
traordinary statements, to add, by way of eli
max, some ludicrOusly oomicai postscript.
Their children tell us that she was capital
subject for his fun, for she believed implicitly
in whatever he told her, however improbable,
and though vowing seriously not to be taken
in again, she was sure to be caught. Her innO-
cent face of wonder and belief added greatly to
the zest of the Jokes. On one occasion, when
living at the coast, Hood gave his wife some
useful hints on buying fish Above all things,
Jane, said he, Z" as they will sndeavor to i'm
pose upon your inexperience, let nothing in
duce you to buy plaice that has any appear

Accordingly Mrs. Hood, on the faith of her
newly acquired knowledge, was quite prepared
to do battle with the cunning fisherwOmen, one
of whom called shortly afterwards AS it hap
pened, the woman had nothing but pace,
which she turned over, praising their freshness
and beauty Mrs Hood, however, was too
sharp-She was not to be taken in-the OBJ
noxious spots were there. In vain the fisher
woman protested that they were fresh from the
water The cautious buyer gravely shook heI
head, and with look of infinite wisdom, com

man, it may be as you say, but | could never

replied the astonished fsherwoman, with
shout, who ever seed plaice without spots p
A suppressed giggle on the stairs behind he
revealed the joke, and, turning her head hssti

HELD HER BREATH FOREvER-The Alex.
andra (Na.) Gazette mentions the novel sui
eide of little girl twenty-one months of age,
the child of Mr.. William beavers, about nine
miles below Alexandria, on the Pohlick road.
The child held her breath while in pet, as
children frequently do and died, although she
was perfectly we'll before the crying fit. An
efectuai way to pravent unfortunate results of
this kind is to throw cold water in the face of
the child as soon as it begins to hold its breath.
The shock of tfe water will make it gasp, and
necessarily force it to take breath, as well as
divert attention from the fit of anger.
