A Surprised Lady.

NNHE Williamsport, Pa, Bulletin says !:
Il On Saturday evening last young
gentleman of this city concluded that he
would attend church. He straightway
presented himself at the door and was
taken in charge by polite sexton, who
showed him into seat beside young
person of the femenine gender. This
young person was attired in a white gown
fresh from the laundry--and guileless
of spot or wrinkle. With that instinct
i've neatness common to most Of the fair
sex, the young lady had spread out the
skirt Of her gown as much as possible, to
save it from the rumples incident to a
sitting posture. The young man on tax
ing his seat did not at first observe the
display of drapery beside him. After
while he cast his eyes around. They fell
on the white muslin, and he felt himself
growing red and white by turns. Could
his-in short, could the tail of his shirt
have escaped from its confinement in his
unmentioHables His hand trembled,
but he surreptitiously laid hold of the
lady's property, lifted his coat, and push
ed it, as well as he was able, under his
pantaloons. The lady, surprised at this,
to her, unaccountable mano ever, moved a
little but said nothing The young gen.
tleman again became interested in the
sermon, but glancing down at the seat a
moment or two after, beheld to his hor-
ror, what he supposed to be his unman-
nuoahle garment With n cnnyulsive Of
fort he clutched it in his shaking hand,
and was endeavoring to put it where it
should have been, if it had been his mus
lin, when the lady moved far enough
away to take her skirt out of the reach
of the unhappy young man. With an
expression of countenance plainly de-
picting the unutterable thoughts within
him, the young man took up his hat and
hurriedly left the sanctuary.

CUTSO7l'S Stellar OIL
FOR
ILLUMINATING PURPOSES.

The proprietor of this Oil has for several years
to tot the S1 pa5c s sSaBsttute for the the danserons
compounds which are sent broadcast over the
country, an oil that is SAFE and BRILLIANT,
and entirely reliable. After Il long series Of labo-
rious and costly experiments, he has succeeded in

should be used by every family
lsT, Because it is safe beyond question. The
primary purpose in the preparation of STELLAR
OIL has been to make 1t PERFECTLY SAFE,
thus insurlng the lives and property of those who
use It.
I'D, Because 1t is the most BRILLIANT liquid Il.
uminator now known
BID, Because it is more economical, in the long
rum than any OF the dangerous oils and fluids
now In too common use.
4TH, Because 1t is intensely BRILLIANT, and
therefore economical, giving the greatest posi-
bic light at the least expenditure to the consum
er. Its present standard OF SAFETY AND
BRILLIANCY will always be mantalned,-for
upon this the proprietor depends for sustaining
the high reputation the STELLAR OIL now
enjoys.
To prevent the adulteration of this with the ex.
plosive compounds now known under the name OF
Kerosene, &c, &C., 1t Is put up for family use in
stamped with the trademark OF the proprietor; it
cannot be tampered with between the manufac-
turer and consumer None Is genuine without the
TRADEMARK.
STELLAR OIL Is sold only by weight each can
containing iiye gallons OF six and a half pounds
each, thus securing to every purchaser full meas
ure Ii Is the duty and interest OF all dealers and
consumers OF Illuminating oil to use the STELLAR
OIL only, because 1t alone is known to be safe and
reliable.

nS-The Norristown (Pa.) Herald say

" A most singular instance of a care Of
bird for her young occurred few days
since on the farm of Samuel X. Stout, of
Plymouth township, who witnessed the
circumstance, and vouches for its ac-
curacy. He was cutting grass with the
machine, and came upon hen partridge
seated upon her nest, which did not stir
until almost touched by the cutter. There
were seventeen eggs in the nest, and
upon Mr.. Stout's returning to the spot an
hour or two after, twelve Of them were
missing Surprised at the circumstances,
Mr.. Stout and companion retired a
little distance, and watched the parent
bird take the eggs, one by one, in her
claws, aud fly some distance with them.
In this manner she removed them two
fields off, having to cross two fve-rail
fences at every journey, and breaking but
two of the seventeen"

Inventive Lads.

A countryman living in Tennessee,
where forests and game are plenty, says
that his boys, who all have gun apiece,
became short Of percussion caps a few
days ago, and the first thing he knew
they were shooting with match heads as u
substitute How many boxes of matches
he lost in that way he did not say, but he
found that they fred as clear as the cap
itself. il is said that necessity is the
mother Of invention.

Dey- An Irishman was going along the
road, when an angry bull rushed down
upon him, and with his horns tossed him
over the fence. The IYishman recovering
from his fall, upon looking up saw the
bull paving aud tearing up the ground,
(as is the custom Of the animal when
irritated), whereupon Pat, smiling at
him, said;
IF il was not for your bowing and
scraping and your humble apologies, you
brute, fax should think that you had
thrown me over the fence on purpose"

nd5- Lorenzo Dow was once preaching
in the eastern part Of Connecticut to a
crowded house, the season being mid
winter and the weather extremely cold.
During the sermon the members Of the
congregation would make frequent visits
to the stove to warm up; the old man
stood the interruptions until forbearance
ceased to be virtue stopping in the
middle Of a sentence he said. "ThosG
who have holes in their stockings may
now go to the stove aud warm their feet.
He was annoyed no more during th'

Rain after Great Battles.

It was observed during the late Ewar IN
our own country, and also during the war
between France and Germany. that heavy
and continuous rains invariably followed
the occurrence Of great battles. The fact
has given rise to much speculation as to
the reason of the thing, with a sort of
general consent that it results from con-
cussion Of the atmosphere caused by re-
peated discharges of artillery. But Plu-
tarch, in his Life of Caius Marius, has a
sentence which would seem to indicate
this as an error. They say that extra
ordinary rains generally follow great bat
ties; whether it is that some Divine Power
puri6es the ground and drenches it with
waters from Heaven, or that the blood aud
putrefaction send up a moist and heavy
yapor which condenses the atmosphere,
which is moved and readily changed to
the greatest degree from the smallest
Hause." 1t is certain that there was no
artillery in the time of Marius about 100
years before Christi and equally certain
that the rains took place after great bat
ties: What, then, is the true explanation
Of the phenomenon ?
