"A LITTLE MIXED.-An editor wrote
two paragraphs-one an account of a
minister's sermon, and the other about
the career of mad dog. Both arti-
cles were put in type, but the foreman
in making up the forms got part of
the dog article mixed with part of the
sermon article. Imagine the indigna-
ton of the minister when he read in
the paper the following account of
himself:
The Rev. Thompson preached to a
large audience last Sunday morning.
This was the last sermon previous to
his embarkment for Europe. He ex-
horted his brethren and sisters, and
after Offering q devout prayer, he took
a whim to cut up some frantic freaks.
He ran up Smith street to Brown, and
down Carr street to College. AT this
stage of the proceedings some boys
seized him, tied teakettle to his tail,
and let him go. A great crowd gath
cred, and in few minutes there was
q lively scene. Finally, he was shot
by policeman"

THINGS Is WORKING.
RADICAL DOCTRINE IN PRACTICE.

The Weston, w. Va, Democrat,
gives the following as a specimen of
the working of the Radical doctrines:
A correspondent from Braxton
writes us that short time ago, NAH
from " way down cast" settled in that
county, on "OPENS Run. He is a
bright and shining light in the ranks
of Radicalism, a member of de norf
mefodist church," and is living with
negro wench whose heels are as long
as the moral law, whose color is as
black as his principles, whose woop
is cross between hazel brush and
horse hair, whose eyes are like unto
holes cut in a fitch of bacon-whose
mouth resembles the Mammoth Cave,
whose teeth would compare favorably
with the molars Of the Mastadon,
whose ips-aye! there's sweetness
And nosel Oil what nose! Mag
nificent in its ponderosity-classic in
its ugliness-with nostrils like post
holes, and covered with the quint-es-
sence of the perfume enhaled by its
own aroma-she's q sweet delicate
creature, and weighs something over
200 pounds gross!
And this blackguard-thi rascal
this scoundrel-this white-skinned,
black-principled abortion for what
was intended to be a man-this blot
upon humanity-this fistula of COR
ruption and imbecility-this running
sore-this blotch of dirt, who is thus
himself, we are informed,
has a wife still living in the land of
" stiddy habits" whence he came,
whom he has deserted and left in her
in order that he may, here
in the wilds of West Virginia, sip
sweet juices from the ponderous lips
of his beloved Dinah, with no one to
molest or make him afraid.
Singular to relate, his radical neigh
bors are taking umbrage at his prac-
ticing what they have so long preach
ed, and talk of driving him from the
county. Keep cool gentlemen. If
you insist on intoxicating doctrines so
pernicious and damnable, you must
expect to abide the consequences, and
this is the first installment.

CoURTsHIP in aye olden time" was
not without a flavor of eccentric orig
inality, which must have been pleas
ing. 1t is related of Congregational
clergyman, one John Keep, that when
q student, he was accustomed to build
the winter morning fire for the daugh-
ter of the lady with whom he boarded.
She would arrange the breakfast, and
as there was some spare time to fill
up before the other members of the
family appeared, they would sing to-
gether the old church tunes. Such
habits promoted personal piety and
something else, for as John was about
leaving to undergo his examination
before the association, he proposed,
and asked t b e young "a d y t o
consider the topic one week, and
then give him definite answer. Be-
fore the week closed she handed him
a paper with her name written near
the bottom of a page, and this post
script; Byron said woman's mind
is always in her postscript accept
your proposal, and, that you may
make your arrangements unembar-
rassed, you may put above my name
any words you may choose expressive
of my affection for you, and will re-
deem the pledge" That pledge was
redeemed by rare fidelity and devotion
through almost sixty years of married
life. What man but would like such
reply? But how many young men
are there now who would earn it as
John Keep did, by making fires for
his beloved on winter morning, and
then, instead of clam oring for break
fast, sing psalm tunes ?-Christian

AN OLD MANS DREAMS.
Br oLrvEa wEsDE1.L ao1srEs.

oh, for one hour of youthful joyi
Give me back nay twentieth spring.
I'D rather laugh a bright-haired boy
Than reign gray-beard kingi
on with the wrinkled spoils of agel
Away with learnings erowni
Tear out life's wisdom written page,
AID dash its trophies down.
One moment let my life blood stream
From boyhood's fount of flame,
Give me one giddy reeling dream
OF life all love and flannel
My listening angel heard the prayer,
And calmly smiling said,
's If but touch thy silyered hair,
Thy hasty wish hath Sped
"But there is nothing in thy track
To bid thee fondly stay,
While the swift seasons hurry back
To find the wished for dayt''
All, truest soul of womarkindl
Without thee what were life?
One bliss cannot leave behind;
III take-my precious-Wife.
The Angel took sapphire pen
And wrote in rainbow dew,
-'The man would be boy again,
And be a husband too-''
sAnd there is nothing yet unsaid
Before the change appears?
Remember, all thdir gifts have fed
With those dissolving yearsl'
Why, yes; for memory would recall
My fond paternal joys;
could not bear to leave them all;
I'll ltake-my-girl-and-
The smiling angel dropped his pen
= 81 why this will never do;
The man would be a boy again.
And be father tool''
And SO laughed-my laughter woke
The household with its noise
And wrote my dream, when morning broke,
To please the gray-haired boys.

A STORY OF sHIPWRECK AND sUF-
FERING.


Shipwreck is of every day occur
renee. but it is seldom record is made
Of the hardships of ladies as are those
who form the subject of this para
graph. Mrs. S. A. Wheelright, wife
Argentine Republic, with two chill
Anita E. Wheelright, and her brother
Mr.. A. S. Doanc, have just arrived
home, having survived shipWreck on
the rocks of the South American
coast. The party left Monteviedo in
February last, homeward bound, in
the ship Helle-ponte, and when off the
coast of Brazil, ON the 18th of Febru-
ary, fearful cyclone burst upon them
with all its fury, which continued with
unabated violence during twenty-four
hours; in the mean time, the ship
having been blown off her course, and
as the sun could not be seen, the nav
igator was under the necessity of re-
sorting to &c dead reckoning." But by
some unaccountable means, his reck-
oning proved almost literal dead
reckoning, for, upon " bouting ship"
according to this reckoning, it was
but few hours before she struck on
the rocks. However, through the
united exertions of the ships officers.
Mrs. Wheelright and party were taken
on shore in small boat, through the
surf and angry waves, where they Ian
gaished for over a week on the burn
ing sands under tropical sun, and in
the presence of drunken and brutal
sailors. At last succor came in the
shape of :. uge cart drawn by cattle,
and they were conveyed to Rio
Grande. The hardships of this over
land march are described by the party
as almost unbearable. Scorched by
the sun and pelted by storms, and in
suited by the inmates of rude hostler-
les, they certainly have fearful ex-
perience to unfold.

CHINESE KU-KLUx IN LOUISIANA

One of our coast planters, who has
a number OF Chinese laborers in his
employ, seeing a disposition on the
part of some of the negroes to annoy
the Orientals, and apprehending a re-
sort by the latter to the use of the
sharp knives which they always wear,
cautioned them not to take the law
into their own hands, but in case they
were troubled with any negro, to
bring the offender before him and he
would see that justice was done.
Accordingly one day the planter,
while sitting on his gallery, observed
procession of Cinnamon coming
from the quarters, bearing at their
head dard package. They marched
with great deliberation and dignity up
to the mansion and laid their burden
on the gallery at the feet of the plan
ter. 1t proved TO be a. +" chunk of a
negro" securely bound as only China
men know how totie parcel of goods.
The negro was scared out of his sem
ses, though entirely unhurt. Laying
him quietly down on the gallery the
leader of the Chinese, pointing to the
dark mass, said to the planter: Mig
gah too much! too much niggay i"-
and then the whole party trotted back
to their work.
1t was an hours hard work to unto
the frightened negro, who, on his re-
lease, very cheerfully acted uron the
suggestion of the planter to make
himself ce."-Neeo Orleans Times.

me to plaK at your wedding, and I
have prefhised~ to be here. IF were
your equal could be the bridegroom
instead of the organist; but poor
musician must give you up"
I" 1t is like Fending my soul and
body assunder to part with you" said
the girl. s' Tonight / may tell you
this-tell you how fondly love you,
but in few hours it will be sin Go
go, and God blessyou."
She waved him from her, as if she
would Danish him while she had the
power to do SO; and he-how was it
with himi He arose to leave her,
then came back, held her to his heart
in long embrace, and with smoth-
cred farewell, left her.
The next morning dawned in cloud
less splendor. AT an early hour the
cathedral was thrown open and the
sexton began to prepare for the we'd
ding Flame-colored flowers nodded
by the wayside-fame-colored leaves
came dashing down the trees and lay
In heaps upon the ground; and the
ripe wheat waved like a golden sea,
and berries dropped in red and pur-
pie clusters over the rocks along the
Rhine.
At length the palace gates were
opened and the royal party appeared
escorting the Princess Elizabeth tosthe
cathedral where the marriage was to
be solemnized.
1t was bright pageant-far brighter
than the entwined foliage and bios
SONS were the tufts of plumes which
floated frem stately heads and festal
robes that streamed down over the
khouseings of the superb steeds. But
the Princess, mounted on snowy pal
frey, and clad in snow white velvet,
looked pale and sad; and when, on
nearing the church, she heard gush
of organ music, which though jubi-
liant in sound, struck on her ear like a
funeral knell-she tremhled and would
have fallen to the earth, had not page
supported her. A few moments af-
forwards she entered the cathedral
There, with his retinue stood the roy
al bridegroom, whom she had never
before seen. But her glance roVed
from him to the organ loft, where she
had expected that mysterious organist.
He was gone, and she was obliged to
return the graceful bow of the King,
TO whom she had been betrothed from
motives of policy. Mechanically she
knelt at his side on the altar stone ;
mechanically listened to the service
and made the responses.
Then her husband drew her to him
in convulsive embrace, and whis-
pered: Elizabeth, my queen, my
wife, look up."
Trembling in every limb, she obey
ed. Why do those eyes thrill her so ?
Why did that smile oring glow on
her cheeks?
All! though the King wore the roy
al purple and many jeweled order
glittered on his breast, he seemed the
humble person, who had been en-
ployed to teach organ music, and had
taught her the lore of love.
Elizabeth" murmured the mon
arch. g 'Bertram Aoffmar, the mysteri-
GUS organist, and King Oscar (the
Royal Free Mason) are one. Forgive
my straiagem. 1 wished to marry you
but would not drag to the altar an
unwilling bride. Your father was in
the secret"
While tears of joy rained from her
blue eyes, the new-made queen re-
turned her husbands fond kisses, an |
for once two hearts were made happy
by royal marriage.

A HUMAN PIN CUSHION.

The New Lisbon Journal says -
There is family living in the e st end
of st. Clair township, in this county,
near the State line, known in the COM
munity as respectable people, wherein
is girl of some sixteen or seventeen
years of age apparently sick with
chills and fever, but gradually kept
growing worse until the doctors pro-
nounced typhoid fever, but failed to
cure. And she lay all winter with
various symptoms of disease. such as
dyspepsia, liver complaint, tape worm
&C., but the doctor did not and could
not tell what was the matter. Finally
early this spring she took to bleeding
at the lungs, with pain in her stomach
side and one leg, and finally one foot
which foot gathered at the heel and
formed some matter, which the doctor
opened and took therefrom about one
dozen pieces of needles, and from
which they have taken at different
times other pieces of needles, making
in all twenty-four OF twenty-five
pieces out of her heel, and about four
weeks ago one of her breasts became
swollen, and upon examination was
opened and several pieces of needles
and one pin taken out; and at various
times lately, till there have been fifty
seven pieces of needles and four pins
taken from her breast and heel. The
needles appear to have been of vari-
GUS sizes, and generally broken in
three pieces except some of the small
ones, which are in two pieces. She is
now in comparative health, SO that she
visits Smiths Ferry almost every day
to have some pin or needle taken from
her breast or heel. The pins are all
bent as though there had been an eff
fort to break them in three pieces, and
all the needles appear more or less
corroded for being in contact with the
brass pins. How they got there is d
mystery that no one can solve. There
seems to be no doubt that she swal-
lowed them, but how or when no one
knows, or how many are yet to come
out of her system. 1t is a remarkable
case.

RICH WITHOUT MONEY Many a
man is rich without money. Thou
sands of men with nothing in the
pocket, and thousands without even
pocket are rich. A man born with
a good, sound constitution, a good
stomach, good heart and good limbs
and pretty good head piece. is rich:
Good bones are better than gold
tough muscles than silver and nerves
that flash fire and carry energy to eve
ry function, are better than houses and
land.
It is better than landed estate to
have had the right kind of father and
mother. Good breeds and bad breeds
exist among men as really as among
herds and horses. Education may
do much to check evil tendencies, or
to develop good ones but it is great
thing to inherit the right proportion
of faculty to start with.
The man is rich who has a good dis
pos5tion-who is naturally kind, pa
tient, cheerful, hopeful, and who has
a flavor of fun and wit in his compo-
sition. The hardest thing to get along
with in this life is a mans own SELF
A cross, selfish fellow-a timid, care
burdened man-these are all born de-
formed on the inside. Their feet may
not limp but their thoughts do.

CHANGING CLOTHING.

Many persons lose life every year
by an injudicious change of clothing.
and the principles involved need rep
etition almost every year.
If clothing is to be diminished, it
should be done in the morning when
first dressing.
Additional clothing may be safely
put on at any time.
In northern States the under gar
ments should not be changed for those
less heavy sooner than the middle of
May for even in June a fire is very
comfortable sometimes in a New
York parlor.
Woolen flannel ought to be worn
next to the person by all, during the
whole year; but a thinner material
may be worn after the first of June.
A blazing fire should be kept in
every family room until ten in the
morning, and rekindled an hour be-
fore sundown, up to the first day of
October.
Particular and lady housekeepers,
by arranging their fire-places for the
summer too early, often times put the
whole family to serious discomfort;
and endangcr health by exposing
them to sit IN chilliness fer several
hours every morning, waiting for the
weather to moderate, rather than have
the fireplace or CRATE all blackened up
that is, rather than be put to the
trouble of Another fixing up for the
summer, they expose the children to
Group, and the old folks to infamma-
ton of the lungs. The old and young
delight in warmth it is to them the
greatest luxury. Half the diseases
of humanity would be swept from
existence if the human. body were
kept comfortably warm all the time.
The discomfort of cold feet, or of q
chilly room many have experienced
to the.Asorrew, they make the mind
peevish, and fretful, while they ex-
pose the body to colds and infiamma-
tions, which often destroy it in less
than a week.-HaWs Journal Of
Health.

A HIGH FLOWN ToAsT.-Woman
was toasted in the following style at
the recent anniversary meeting. of the
Richmond Light infantry Blue -
Woman-pure as a snowflake as
falls upon the cold peaks of the Bact-
ian Alps; beautiful as the houri that
bathes herself in the crystal fountains
of the Moslem paradise; graceful as
the peri afloat on her shell skiff over
the calm waters of the dark blue sea !;
vain, worse than vain, the warning to
guard the heart when intellect flashes
from her bright eye, and the light of
the soul is breathed like music upon
her face" To this touching toast the
mayor of the city responded.
