1T NEVER PAYS.

1t never pays to fret and growl
When fortune seems our foei
Tie better bred will push ahead
And strike the Drawer blow.
y. For luck is work
And those who shirk
Should not lament their doom,
But yield the play.
And clear the way
That better men have room.
II never pays to wreck the health
In drudging after gain,
And he is sold who thinks that gold
Is cheapest bought with pain
An humble lot,
A cosy cot,
Have tempted even kings.
For station high
That wealth wifrbuy,
Not oft contentment brings.
1t never pays a blunt refrain
Well worthy OF song,
For age and youth must learn this truth
That nothing pays that's wrong.
The good and pure
Alone are sure
To bring prolonged success,
While what is right
In Heavens sight,
Is alwsys sure to bless.

A Coon JoKE.-A capital joke,
and all the more palatable because it is
trueand can be vouched for, took place,
a few Sundays since, at one Of the
prominent Fourth street churches. 1t
seems that a worthy deacon has been
very industrious in selling me-,
church book, costing seventy,fve cents.
, At the service in question, the minister
Just before dismissing the congregation,
arose and said; "All you who have
children to baptise will please present
them pext Sabbath" The deacon
who is little deaf and having an eye
to selling his books, and supposing his
pastor was referring to them, imme-
diately jumped up and shouted: "And
al, who havn't any can get as many as
you want by calling on me, at seventy
five cents EACH" The preacher looked
cross>eyed at the deacon; the audience
punched each other in the side; the
bubble grew larger until it burst in
loud, guffaw, ladies cOlored up, and
blushed, and thanked the Lord for the
low price ofpeopling the earth. There
was no benediction that morning worth
speaking of.-Grass Valley (Cd }

IMPOSITION UPoN A CHmD.-The
latest dodge oc a parent to overcome
his sons aversion to medicine, and
"doctor" him at the same time, occur,
red on Prospect street, where a croupy
youngster was induced to make quite a
hearty meal from plate of buckwheat
cakes and "maple syrup"-but the
latter proved to DO nice syrup ofquills.

One Of the best rules in conversation
is, never to say thing which any OF
the company can reasonably wish we
had rather left unsaid;. nor can there
anything be well more contrary to the
ends for which people meet together
than to part unsatisGed with each other
or themselves.

An AsToNIsHED BIsHoP.-The
following is told Of Bishop E., of Mas
sachusetts:
Visiting one of the churches of his
diocese, he requested that the children
of the Sunday-school should be assem-
bled to be catechised. The good Bish-
op put this question rather suddenly
to the little boy who stood trembling
at the head of his class; "Who made
the world"
The little fellow, with quiverine
voice: 81 didn't"
The Bishop astonished at the an,
swer, demanded: "What do you
mean, sir?"
Still more frightened, the ladrcplied,
"If-I-did i - won't do it
again."

A BEAUTIFUL SENTIMENT. The
following beautiful sentiment was re.
Gently uttered by Judge Jno. l., 7.
Sneed in delivering the opinion of the
Supreme Court in the case of Harri,
son VS.. Wisdom ct ais. from the law
docket of Montgomery county:
"The idea that the judicial officer is
supposed to be vested with ermine,
though fabulous and mythical is yet
more eloquent in ITS significance. We
are told that the little creature called
the Ermine in so acutely sensitive as
to its own cleanliness that it becomes
paralyzed and powerless at the Sigh
est touch of defilement upon its snow
white fur. When the hunters are
pursuing it they spread with mire the
pass leading to its haunts toward
which they then draw it, knowing that
it will submit to be captured rather
than defle itself. And a like sensibil.
ity should belong to him who comes to
exercise the august functions of Judge.

HANDLE ME TINDHERLY.-A few
mornings since, tall, strong man, in
the dress of a respectable mechanic
was crossing Park Row, opposite the
New York city hall. Passing in the
middle of one of the car tracks be en-
countered an old feeble woman, of
about seventy years of age, with a
basket. To her great surprise he
suddenly, seized this buxom charmer
round the waist and bounded with her
and himself off the track, only barely
in time to prevent the mangling of
both their bodies by Fourth avenue
car that passed down just then at a
racing rate of speed. The lady looked
at fhe car, then at her basket, then at
few cakes scattered therefrom on the
ground, and lastly at the man, with an
expression of otherwise inexpressible
gratitude on her face. After a short
pause, she piously said: "Bad luck
to yer sowl, couldn't ye handle me
tindherly."
