EpiscOpalians.

Are there any Episcopalians in this vicin-
ity, madam" asked tall, thin stranger,
of Mrs. Artemus, as she stood in the open
door in answer to his knock.
"Any which ?"
Episcopalans."
Now, if Mrs. Artemus has failing, it
was that she never would admit that she
could possibly be ignorant of anything
She always knew about any subject men,
tined. So she answered.
Episcopalians Wall, we don't exactly
know. Ny John-hes my son--he see
something out in the cornfeld yesterday
He didn't really know What it was, but
l told him guessed it was chipmunk.
But now you speak ont I'll bet it was an
Episkerpalium. And my next neighbor,
Farmer Hawkins, he said he shot at some
thing that same day that John see this
strange critter, and Farmer Hawkins he
thought 1t was some wild critter that had
got out of a menagerie somewhere. Any
how, think that's Episcopaling, too.-
Be they bigger'n chipmunk?'
You misunderstood me, madam"
"Wall, you needn't feel Uneasy. Eff
there's any Piscompaliums in this here
naborhood, you jest make up your mind
that they'll git shot We air too feelin' a
community to let things run at large which
mout destroy and devour somebody. Come
in won't ye ?''
"No ma'am. II wv far is it to the near
est town ?''
"About six miles. Have you got any
friends here? Cos if you have, know
a most everybody in town. You're min
lister, take it ?"
81 am, madam
"Air you hardshell Baptist, or what?"
"No, ma'am ; l am E-a-well one of
the old school. GOOD morning, ma'am."

For Suspicious People.

The Wheeling, Va, Register says:-
Some eight or ten years ago a gentleman
living in Washington, Pa, put in an envel-
ope and placed it in a bureau drawer some
two or three hundred dollars in notes on
the Merchants and Mechanics Bank of
this city. When he went for his money
few days afterwards, he found everything
intact but the envelope containing the
money. That was gone.
His suspicious were directed to the only
person who could have had access to the
bureau, and he had the suspected man ar
rested. Nothing could be proved against
tho accused, and of course he was discharg-
ed. The matter remained mystery until
last Monday, when the owner Of the
missing money, while opening the bu-
reau drawer, observed something fall into
the drawer from the top. On examining it
he found it to be portion of the envelope
in which the money had been placed.
A further search was rewarded by the
discovery of all the bank notes fastened to
the top of the bureau, where they had been
securely fastened to the varnish for the
many years they had been missed They
were sent to this city on Tuesday for re-
demption. Every apology and reparaticn
was made to the individual suspected, and
who had been under surveillance ever since
the disappearance of the money

CAPITAL PUNISHMENT.
BY J. p. l.

Why swing betwlxt the earth and sky
The image OF your God.
Before your Lords allseelng eye,
Consgn 1t to the sod.
When the poor criminal repents,
The act Of one rash hours
Justice for mercys sake relents,
God sends his pard'ning power.
He will forgive, reproye, persuade,
And bless you in his love.
He'll call you when your course you've strayed
To realms Of Joy above.
Oh! why should man thus Judge hlskin,
While God himself Jor0iUes;
The dying rebel turns to him.
And through His mercy lives
All pause before you're thus severe
Against your fellow dust.
Your maker high in heaven revere,
Nor be, than he, more just
The man who never did the crime,
OFT for 1t has to die,
The guilty wretch, free at the time,
Perhaps is standing by.
Yes suffering innocence must reap
The gnominious shame
While outraged friends who round him weep
Such laws severely blame.

The young ladies of Savannah are smart.
One of 'em told me her father didn't keep
any horses, but,
Says she, he is going to.
Says l, all when?
Says she, when gold gets to pa.
l went to walk with her. Her father
keeps corner grocery in the middle of a
block, and she showed it to me had chat
with the old man. Then the young lady
showed me the town, and
Says she, there's where Pulaski fell.
Says /, Pulaski was brave man.
Says she, he was indeed.
Says l, it wasn't strange that he fell,
though.
Says she, why?
Says !, because he was Pole, and it's
nothing strange that pole should fall.
Her eyes lit up with patriotic fire and
says she, sir, he was Pole He was a
liberty pole.
Then we both stood there and cried like
everything, and then l took her home.
Slavery is abolished down here, but had
a talk about the evils of it with Judge -
the other day. and when ! spoke of using
the lash upon the the poor DEVILS
Says he, lash, sir, lash; don't talk to me
about the lash; why, it amt week ago
that read in one of your Northern papers
about the rough voyage one of your ships
had, and it stated that the poor sailors
were lashed all the way over"
l cry easy, and says to him, with
tears in my eyes, poor John Tars, let's
drink to their future fate. SO we swallow
ed two glasses Of something wet.
NY-A railing accusation was recently
brought by one farmer against another
He complained that half Of worm fence
built by his neighbor was on his land
The court was invoked to settle the diff
ference, which it did by deciding that a
worm fence may legally extend over the
line upon an adjoining property SO far as is
necessary for its construction. The boun-
Diary line will then be beneath the center Of
the fence, as all farmers not overwhelmed
by "pure cussedness' are ready to admit.

NB- The Philadelphia Star says 1t is
proper that broad distinction should be
made between accidents resulting from
burning fluids and those from refined pc
troleum. Until these cheaper compounds
were generally introduced, lamp explosions
we're comparatively rare.
That pure coal oil furnishes as good or
perhaps a better light than the dangerous
fluids referred to, and that 1t is far safer,
there can be no.doubt. The only obstacle
in the way is the difference in the price.
This is SO small, merely nominal no family
should for moment be persuaded to use
the dangerous in preference to the safer
compound, simply because the latter costs
q few cents per quart more. sal g
