CHURCH treasures are reported low,
while many worshipers rival the Queen
OF Sheba in the magnificence of their
apparel. If the sincerity of their devo-
tons is to be estimated by the richness
of their offerings, their piety would ap-
pear to be much below par.

SINGULAR as the fact may appear to
many, professional men generally write
"a bad hand" Two of our most emf
nent clergymen write almost nnintelligi-
bly,. In fact, they get stuck" often in
trying to read their discourses in the
pulpit. Some of their parishioners ex-
hibit scraps executed by these skillful
penmen, but whether intended for / 0
US, or invitations to join surprise
party, experts are unable to decide. 1t
sounds odd to some people, to hear
these excellent divines lecture Sunday
schools on the Importance of doing
everything well. Their logic is fault
less would that their MSS. were plain
ly written. for then would printers be
light glad.

MENTION has been made of the fact
that the cabbage crop was abundant
and of excellent quality. Families pro-
posing to treat their friends to feast on
this nutritious vegetable, on the ap-
preaching festival, will do we'll to order
their supplies at once. There is no
certainty that prices will not be higher
directly. If the bold soger boys leave
Elizabeth for the seat of war, every
mothers son of them will smuggle a
few of these Injuries into their KNAPP
sacks. Properly prepared, cabbage
leaves make tolerable cigar, as many
of the boys about town know to their
comfort.

WE once knew truly pious clergy
man who worked himself into terrible
rage when he tried on new coat. His
good wife expostulated with him, and
he promised not to do so again but
when the next suit of clerical broadcloth
came home, he pulled it, and jerked it,
and grew red and then purple, and
trembled, until his frightened wife, fear
full of the consequences, cried, "Oh hus
band do scold, rave, swear, anything,
and the next coat you have I'll promise
not to interfere.

THIS boarding up currency has had
depressing effect on rattle parties. In
better days, if the Widow Machree was
a little behind on her rent account some
of her neighbors would pay for couple
hundred tickets, at twenty five cents
each, and rattle for her clock. The win
ner usually furnished some mild bever-
age, fiddler was pressed into the SER
vice, and the sound of mirth was heard
far over the meadows. The clock was
left in the widows cabin. her rent was
paid, and handsome balance remained.
We have heard OF many evenings made
pleasant by an entertainment of this
character. But the scarcity of currency
has put a stop to many old time amuse
ments.
