A young lady in Nashville is changing her
views somewhat relative to the question of
matrimony. She says that when she "came
OUT in society she determined that she would
not marry a man unless he were an Episcopa-
lian. Time passed on, and she did not get
married, and then modified her views, and
concluded she would marry no man who was
not Christian. That young lady is still un-
married, and says now that all she is looking
for is a man who doesn't drink.

COOP JOKE.

Old Gov. L., of Vermont, was
Of the most inveterate jokers OF the
early times, in which he figured. An
anecdOte is told of him, which has
never been related in print, and new
er can be perhaps with much effect;
but we will try it.
One fall, as he was returning from
the Legislature, on horseback, as us.
ual at that day, he was hailed from
house by garrulous old maid, who
had often annoyed him with questions
respecting public affairs.
"Well, Governor" said she, coming
out towards the road, "what new laws
have you passed at Montpelier, this
time ?" .r
"Well, one rather singular one
among the rest" he replied.
"Dew tell Now what is it, Cover.
nor2" asked the excited querist,
"Why, that the woman in each
town who has the smallest mouth,
shall be warranted husband"
"Whoy, whoti' said she, drawing
her mouth to the smallest compass,
"Whot a queer, curious lor that is"
Eyes, but we have passed another
that beats that the woman that has
the largest mouth is to have two hus-
bands" .t's
"Why, wharf" exclaimed the old
maid, instantly relaxing her mouth,
and stretching il wider at every sylla-
BILE, "what a remarkable law that is
when does it come in force, governor ?"
At this, the governor put spurs TO
his horse, and vanished.

The Alta Californian tells about
man who is burying his vices: "He
looks like an undertaken but its SO
easy TO stop these foolish practices,
you know. The only trouble he has
suffered in abstaining has been First,
restlessness and a desire to chew some
thing; second, q s0rt.of mental thirst
that seems unquenchable third, an
insane idea of two things at once, and
never feeling satisfied or Mt rpst ;
fourth, sleepless nights, waking up
every fifteen minHtes and thinking
each time that he has pyerslept him
self; fifth, desire to tell every one
he sees that he has quit smoking and
'smiling"-this is done to brace up
his failing courage and commit him
self and his pride to the work to self
conquest; sixth, he imagines he used
to smoke a whole box of cigars DAY
and brags of his former power; while
insinuating his present fortitude; sew
enth, he is now suffering from tempt
ing voice, which says: "If you take
up smoking again, yoH coHll restrain
yourself to the moderate use of the
weed why should you persecute your
self, and thereby acknowledge that
you can't smoke in moderation {?
Your will is certainly strong enough
to resist aud excess IN future" !" He is
in bad state of collie now. If he
gives in, he will be smoking ten ci-
gara q day within a week. But it's
so easy for hi in to quit smoking, if he
only makes up his mind to do so !"
A few days since farmer in Madi.
son township quarrelled with his wife
and left home. He returned in a
short time and the quarrel was re.
sumed and continued to such an ex-
tent that he expressed desire to be
out of the world. His wife intimated
that nothing would please her better
and offered to do her part if the rife
was only loaded. He went into the
house, got the rife and ammunition
and loaded it in the presence of his
wife, but was very careful when she
was not looking TO slip the ball down
his sleeve. After the gun had been
capped he handed it to her and went
into the yard, she followed as far as
the door, when she took deliberate
aim and fired. The husband dropped
in the grass, to all appearapee dead,
and laid there a short time before his
wife came to him. 1t did not take
her long to discover that he was "play.
ing possum," aud grasping an ak hmm
die, she attacked him so fiercely that

eYes, indeed 2 aid the hedge.hog.

"1es, indeed y said the hedgehog.
"To it then I" and. with that each
placed himself in the fnrrew, and the
hare counted one, two, three! and
away he went like o storm-wind down
the field. But the hedgehog ran
about three steps, and then ducked
down in the furrow and sat still.
When the hare, on the full bound,
came to the lower end of the field, the
hedge hogs wife called out to him,
I'm here already" The hare started,
and wondered not little he thought
no otherwise than that it was the
hedgehog himself that ran out to
meet him, for, rs every one knows,
the hedgo-hog's wife looks just like
her husband.
Bat the hare thought: There's
something wrong about all this
Another race AT it again And
away he went like storm wind, SO
that his ears:lay fiat on his head.
But the hedge-hog's wife stayed quiet
ly in her place: When the hare came
to the upper end the hedgehog called
out to him, I'm here already"
But the hare, beside himself with
rage, cried, Another race! Az il
again %
"I'm quite wiling" answered the
hedge hog "just as often as thou likest.
So the hare ran three and seventy
times, and the hedgehog held out to
the very end with him. Every time
the hare came either below or above
the hedgehog or his wife said, "I'm
here already"
But the four and SEVENTEEN time
the hare came no more to the end
In the middle of the field he fell tC
the earth and lay dead upon the spot
So the hedge hog took the louis d'oi
and the bottle of brandy he had won
called his wife out of the fnrrow, and
both went home together and if they
have not died they are living still
So happened it that on the Buxtehudt
heath the hedgehog ran the hare tC
death, and since that time no hare
has ever dreamed of running race
with Buxtehude hedgehog.
But the moral of this story is, first
that no one, however high aud might,
he may think himself, shall let it hap
pen to him TO make merry over al
humble man, even if he be a hedge
hog; and secondly, that it is advisa
bic, when one marries, that he take ;
wife out of his own condition, am
who looks just like himself II,
therefore that is a hedgehog, mus
took to 1T that his wife is also hog
and so forth.

A Frenchmap, an Epgliahman and
an American were conversina ON the
industries of their several countries,
and were rather inclined TO color their
descriptions. When the conversation
turned to the manufacture of ship haw-
sers, the Frenchman said he would
cap the climax by describing a rope
which be had seen in his country. A
piece twenty feet long was raised on
end, where it stood straight as pole.
To which the Englishman remarked
"If you call that the cap of the climax,
| will put plume on that cap. In
Birmingham, they made rope SO stiff
| raised piece on end twenty feet
long and then climbed it, The Amer
ican, too, had seen something of ropes.
Stranger" said he, "allow me to color
the tip of that plume of yours. In old
Connecticut, where / was born and had
my broughten up, | took twenty feet
of rope made there, and set il up end
wise | then climbed the rope and
cpiled it from the bottom as | went up;
| then let go one end, which flew
straight up another twenty feet, and /
climbed that climbed forty feet oil

There arc persons now living in
Benton who remember old Billy b.,
of whom it might be said he furnished
an example of the "ruling passion

and friends were expecting an early
demise, his nephew and man hired

which had been fatted; and when the
job was completed the nephew entered

were assembled, when to the. astonish
ment of all the old man opened his
eyes, and turning slightly, said, in q
full voice, drawing out the words
"What have you been doing

Science and nature combined have
wrought a curious result in the mouth
of a Brooklyn genIleman. While en-,
gagged in the pastime of friendly boy
ing, he received a pat in the face which
broke off one of his teeth Of copEsa
he was sorry for the accident, but con.
cluded it was irreparable. But friends
urged him to consult the dentist, and
after day or tYo he followed their
advice. The broken piece, a large biz
was boupd 70 its proper place, and
though the patient was forced to eat
cautiously aud talk little for some
time, the two parts finally united so
perfectly that no flaw in the tooth
could be detected.

LaYrenee 10 boston, oil reaching
Weakfeld, the conductor shouted,
"change cars,p ,t'. A lady who was
sitting in one of the cars got up and
went out. Shortly before reaching
Boston the lady asked the conductor,
if the train had not yet reached Weak

next car attached, "and came into
