Deacon Danbury's Dinner.

When you are carrying several
articles and one of them slips, it is
best not to try to recover il. An
Essex Street man named Roberts
was helping his wife prepare the
dinner table on Sunday, as one of
the deacOns was to take dinner with
them. Roberts took a plate OF steak
in one hand and the eoffee-pot in
the other, and had dish of peas on
the arm with the steak. The wind
blew the dining-room door partly
to as he approached it, and putting
out his foot to push it back, the arm
with the peas moved out of plumb,
and the dish commenced 10 slide.
a cold streak flew up Roberts
spine, and his hair began to raise,
and he felt a sudden sickness at the
stomach, but he lodged ahead to
save the peas, partly caught them,
made q wrong move, lost them
again, jabbed at them with the cof-
fee-pot, upset the steak dish, and in
springing back to avoid the gravy
stepped on the cat that belonged to
the family down stairs, and came to
the floor in a heap, with the steak
and peas and terribly mad cat uu-
der him, and an overfiowing pot of
scalding coffee on top of hun. Then
he bounded up, and stamped OH the
steak dish, and picked up the other
dish and threw it out of the window,
and finished that performance in
time to hurl the coffee-pot and the
contents after the cat,
which was making the very best
time down the front stairway. The
deacon didn't stay to dinner. Ro-
berts retired to the bedroom with
a bottle of sweet oil and q roll of
cotton batting, and Mrs. Roberts
went over TO her mothers to cry.

Wayside Blessings.

Which we pass in our idle pleasure,
That is richer far than the jeweled crown
Or the miser's hoard of treasure;
1t may be the love Of little child,
Or a mothers prayer TO heaven,
Or only beggar's grateful thanks
For cup of water given.

A Native Giant.

Randolph County can boast of
the largest men in the world, one
of the smaller of whom we saw the
other day in one of our business
houses. His name Is Milton G..
Sears, brother to Judge VIM. Sears,
and son of Tommy Sears, weighs
32II-2 pounds, and is q man Of
good appearance, and one would
hardly suppose, at the first glance,
that he would weigh so much. He
was born in Randolph county, is
not quite forty-four years old, and
resides about eight miles south
west of Moberly. Mr.. Sears moth
er was large woman, but his faith
er, who is now living, weighs only
$50 pounds. The latter was born
in Virginia, and came TO Randolph
county about forty-esvsn years ago.

CREOLE WOMEN. The Creole
woman is prettier than the French
woman. There is a climatic infiu-
ence in America which refines fea-
lures and gives delicacy to the COM
plexion. This is especially the case
in Louisiana, where finely formed
women are often found to be the
descendants OF ignoble-looking an
cestOrs. The light olive tint of the
woman seems to have been painted
over a ground color of blushing
lake, and this pinkish creaminess of
the skin saves it from dullness and
sallowness. In a word, there is
something of that transparency for
which painters are always seeking.
She 1nheFits~ 1rom her mother over
the sea the physical characteristics
of round limbs and delicate extrem-
tiles, with figure something slight
er-another effect of climate, also
that sense of art with which people
are born, but can never entirely ac-
quire. From the same source come
her coquetry and her grace of speech
and action, but modified. She does
not wear crude colors or aWry
shapes; nor does she express herself
with unseemly gesture or discord-
ant tones. Her dress is rather SOM
Der than gay, and her carriage sim
pie and conventional-for they all
walk alike. SmoothRess and grace
full propriety are hers. In a word
there is an absence of angles in her
general conduct.

A worthy old clergyman, in a
neigbboring town, is very absent
minded, and has short memory
1t is a common habit with him, in
the sermon, to forget something,
and then, after sitting down, to rise
up again and begin his supplimen-
tary remarks with the expression,
"By the way" a few Sundays
ago he got half way through a pray
er, when he hesitated, forgot what
he was about, and sat down abrupt
ly without closing. In a moment
or two he arose, and, pointing his
forefnger at the amazed eongrega-
ton, said, 40! by the way-Amen!
A curious marriage took place at
Shaftsburg, Vt, recently The
groom was an old man 20 years of
age, and the bride was a former
wife, from whom he had been di-
vorced for many years. During
the long interval he had lived in
Ohio, where he was twice married,
and recently returning to his old
home, he found his first wife had re-
manned single. The fame was re-
kindled, and the ancient couple
were reieined after half century.

CLERICAL APOLOGY.
The Times also says Father O'Farrell, pastor
of St Peters Roman Catholic Church, informed
his Pensioners Sunday last that he wished to
retract anything dictatorial he may have said
to them during his canvass of the parish for
pupils for his parochial school, and adds this
action on the part of the Reverend O'Farrell is
said to have been the result OF intimation from
the authorities of the Catholic church that the
extreme measures resortcd to by him were not
approved.

BOSTON, Sept. 16.-Ex-Mayor CASTOR. in a
letter formally accepting the democratic noml-
nation Tor gouernor, thus alludes to the prohIb
ltory liquor law: cat a time when the state is
suffering reproach for partial and dishonest en-
iorcement of some of its laws, it becomes our
Immediate duty to seek TO execute such laws
with honesty and impartiality, or to repeal such
statutes as cannot be thus enforced. An expe-
Renee OF twenty years under what are known as
prohibitory laws, has proved that they cannot
accomplish the great and beneficial purposes
for which they were enacted. They have not
diminished the evils which they were designated
to destroy, but they have brought with them a
train OF attendant evils which have disgrsced
the administration of Justice, and have Tended
10 corrupt the public morals. Some other method
OF promoting by legislation the cause of temper
ance should at least be tried. This cause is toe
high and noble in its character and its purpose
to attempt to borrow any aid from Injustice,
partiality or corruption"

months ago the Herald contained an account of
daring robbery in Mr.. Ford's house, at Tren-

The thief is dusky individual named Howard

much OF his time TO the simple routine of life on
