Uncle Zeke's Joke.

Some years ago there lived in one of our
large cities an eccentric character known
as Uncle Zeke, who never lost chance
of perpetrating practical joke. Any
place or occasion suited him, provided he
could make his point. One fine Sunday
he repaired to fashionable church, some
time after the services had commenced,
and as there was not seat vacant, he took
prominent position in the centre aisle,
where he stood bolt upright, with his high
stovepipe hat clapped tightly on his head
OF course he attracted much attention, and
very soon the sexton, mau for whom
Uncle Zeke had an especial dislike, crept
up to him and whispered that he must
take off his hat.
"That's agin my principles" said Uncle
Zeke.
al can't help that, F" said the sexton, i'm
patiently, "you must take 1t of. !" ~
"But WON'T" replied Uncle Zeke.
"Then shall take it off for you," said
the sexton, who was becoming very ner-
vous on account of the attention this whis-
pered colloquy had occasioned.
GAN right" said Uncle Zeke you kin
take it Off That amt agin my princi-
pies"
The sexton thereupon took hold of the
rim of Uncle Zeke's hat and dexterously
lifted it off his head. But what was the
respectable sexton's horror when about
two quarts of hickory nuts rolled out Of
his hat and went Gathering and banging
over the church floor. th9 r4i
And that was Uncle Zele's joke on the
sexton. la

The Furnishing Indian.


An aged Indian, half naked and famish-
ed, wandered into one of the Western
settlements, begging for food to keep him
from starving While eagerly devouring
the bread bestowed by the hand of
charity, a bright-colored ribbon, from
which was suspended a small, dirty pouch,
was seen around his neck. On being ques-
toned he said it was charm given him in
his younger days; and opening it displayed
faded, greasy paper, which he handed
to the interrogater for inspection. It prov
ed to be aregular discharge from the Fed
eral army, emitting him to a pension for
life, and signed by General Washington
himself. Now here was name which
would be honored almost anywhere, and
which if presented to the right place, would
have insured him support and plenty the
remainder of his days; and yet he wander
ed about hungry, helpless, and forlorn,
begging for the charitable bread to keep
him from famishing. What picture of
men with all the promises of Jesus in
their hands-and of Christians too, with the
charter of their inheritance in full pos
session-yet starving in the wilderness

81 really cannot see," replied Madeline,
with hearty laugh, "why it should be
thought anything so very remarkable for
the gentleman in question to ask one of us
teachers TO ride with him."
"That is because you don't know, him as
well as do. Being handsome, talented,
and withal doing an excellent business as a
lawyer, he has been considered quite a
catch by managing mammas and aspiring
daughters; but, being such an incorrigible
old bachelor, 1 believe he has long been
given up as unavailable. He was never
known to pay lady much attention before,

true, but she had thought it was because

CONCLUDED NEXT WEEK.
