Pew No. OS.

A Columbia (Pa.) clergyman, while
preaching his sermon one Sunday
evening, perceived a young man and
woman under the gallery in tho act
of kissing each other behind a hymn
book, but did not loose his temper.
He did not fly into all unscemly rage,
and call upon the sexton to rush up
the aisle and disband the rioters. No!
he remained calm. lie bcamed mild
~ at the offenders over his spcctaclcs,
and when the young man kissed her
the fifteenth time, he merely broke
his sermon short off in the middle of
"thirdly," AMI offered a fcrvcnt pray
or in behalf Of "thc young man i'll the
pink nccktic, and the maiden i'll the
blue bonnet and gray shawl, who
were profaming the sanctuary by kiss
ing one another in pew No. g." And
the congregation said, "Amen!'
Then the young woman suddenly
pulled her veil down, and the young
man sat there and sworc softly to
himself. lie does not go to church a.
much US he did.

How to En,rup Dishonc., Nurses.

A check on careless nurses has been
found by the inspection of the socie-
ty for the protection Of infant life in
Paris. 1t is to weigh the baby. II a
child is well formed and in good
health it will weigh heavy. TO know
what a child weighs and what il
ought TO weigh, is to know if it has
been properly cared for or not.
From seven days old until it has
reached five months, the baby, says
the wise Inspector, ought to in
crc:sc thrcc-quartcrs Of III ounce
daily in weight; at the end of i've
months the child should weigh double
what it did at its birth after five
months, aud up to sixteen months, it
should increase half all ounce each
day, aud at the end Of the sixteenth
month should weigh double what it
did at the fifth. The scales, there
fore, will speak for the child, reveal
tho negligence of the nurse, or the
existence of disease. In addition to
squills and night lights, therefore, 10
nursery should be without u pair Of
patent scales.

Faro and his Hosts.


Rev. j. j. Lafferty, oil the occasion
of u late visit to the White Sulphur
Springs, was assigned quarters nigh
unto the lair Of the tiger. He gives
in the Gazette the following npprc-
ciativc account Of tho gay gambollcr:
''Shall the meek man who in secret
deals the gentle faro be unsung?
Shall his solacing suppcrs find 20
muse? Not while Fabers are only
ten ccnts-thrcc for q quarter. He
who thinks my rest was broken by
tho loud cries Of the Sons of %l'elial,'
or that l was jostlcd by the staggering
drunkartt on his way to the game of
chance, or curses and clamor pcltcd at
my door, is crring far in his thoughts.
The step of the 'gambolier' is as soft
as the foot on Turkey carpets. His
bow is a slight incline and a benignant
smile. lie speaks but few words, and
in a mild, musical voice. There comes
from the bank q subduod murmur
like the hum of bees or the rustic of
rose leaves. The cards slide from the
pack with n smooth, oily, noiselcss
motion-uo rattle or Tapping. The
bet is made in n low, tender tone. 4

His Dcrringer is freshly oiled and
capped every day. 1t is always hid,
but handy. lie will pull trigger
only when there is but half a second
to spare. Ii you play, it seems to
