JOSH Billings ON BOOSTERS. Roost.
ers are the pugilists among birds, and
having no suitable shoulder to strike from
they strike from the heel. When roos-
ter gets whipped the hens all march of
with the other rooster, if he is not half SO
big or so handsome. 1t is pluck that wins
a hen. BOOSTERS, as class, will not do
any household work; you cannot get a
rooster to pay any attention to young
one. They spend most of their time in
Growing AMI strutting, and once in a while
they find worm, which they make a
great time over, calling their wives up
from distance, apparently to treat them,
but just as the hens get there, this elegant
bird bends over and gobbles up the worm.

TRYING TO LIVE WITHOUT REAL
WoRK.-Our people are too widely in
clined to shun the quiet ways of proGuc'
tive labor and try to live and thrive in
the crooked paths of speculation and
needless traffic. We have deplorably
few boys learning trades, with ten times
too many anxious to "get into business
that is, to devise some scheme whereby
they may live without work. OF the
journeyman mechanics now at work in
this city, we judge that two-thirds were
born in Europe: and the disparity is
steadily augmenting. One million fami-
lies are trying to live by selling liquors,
tobacco, candy, &C., &c, in our cities,
who could be spared therefrom without
Il t.heslightest public detriment; and ifthese
were sfansferred to the soil, and set to
growing grain, meat, wool, &c, or en-
ployed in smelling the metals or weaving
the fabrics for which we are still running
into debt in Europe, our country would
increase its wealth at least twice as fast
as now, and there would be far less COM
plant of dull trade and "hard times"

KICKED BY DEAD MULE.-In the
First Division, Second Corps, we had a
mule noted for his wonderful Kicking
powers. In fact, he was ready to give
any one a kick upon al, occasions. On
theroad to Richmond he got his leg broke
in bridge, and was taken out of the
team and shot, and was to all appear
ances dead, when soldier ran up, seized
the mule by the tail and exclaimed
"Now kick d-n YOU" And the mule,
having just one kick left, let him have it
breaking the soldiers jaw and sending
him rolling in the ditch The soldier
never heard the last of being kicked by
dead male.

Ezekiel Webster was once engaged in
defending will in New Hampshire

that the testator was struck with death
when he signed his will. Mr.. Webster
subjected his testimony to most searching
examination, showing by quoting medi.

to the precise moment when dying man
IS struck with death; some affirming that
1t is at the commencement of the fatal
disease, Others at its climax; and others
still affirm that we begin to die as soon

A CLERICAL ANEcDoTE,-There are
many stories told ofthe late John Smith
an eccentric Methodist minister known
as "lame John" 10 the conference to
which be belonged in southern Vermont,
which was blessed with trio of rever-
ends rejoicing in the same euphonious
name, A former parishioner o: his in
Windham country writes: AT one time
the interest in the Thursday evening
prayer meeting died out almost entirely,
and the few that came in did so very
late One evening Mr.. Smith was, as
usual at the vestry at the appointed hour,
and after waiting for some one to join
him for along time in vain, went out
and locked the door. Going down the
street he met Deacon Blank coming
slowly toward the church. The usual
salutations wereexchanged, and the dea-
con said, ''Have you forgotten it is the
night for theprayer meeting?" "Ohuo,'
said Mr.. Smith, sit is just out; we had
most an excellent meeting" "Ah, in
deed did you p exclaimed the deacon.
Il am very glad. | trust there may be
new interest felt; the meetings have
seemed very cold of late. Who was
there ?" "God and his unworthy SER
gant, John Smith," replied the divine,
impressively. Perhaps it is unnecessary
to add that that was the last Thursday
evening meeting that God and John
Smith ever held entirely by themselves
in that place.
