A SINGULAR IDEA.-The enterprising
individual who earned few dollars by
charging sight-seers for admission to
the house where his father had been
murdered, has a rival in the London pro-
prietor of a music hall who hired for ex-
hibition ten of the survivors of the North
feet disaster. Penniless as they were,
they consented, and the very night after
the catastrophe, less than twenty four
hours since the terrible tragedy in real
life had been enacted, these ten men
found themselves seated upon concert
saloon stage with the curtain rising, and
revealing them amid loud cheers to a
very large and uncontrollably enthue-
siastic audience. The entertainment was
repeated again and again, the contract
being for twelve nights. Crowds greet
ed them every evening, and financially it
was a great success. 1t is a singular
illustration of the freaks of fortune
that the calamity which shocked the
whole news-reading world and sent more
than three hundred souls into eternity,
should have filed the pockets of this
saloon-keeper with money and brought
upon the uncouth, disappearing men
round after round of applause for merely
sitting upon stage from which forty
eight hours before they would have been
ANONYMOUSLY driven. The temporary
victory over death makes a man some
thing of a hero after all, even if it is GER
tain that the victory is really, at best,
but a check

CUSTOMS OF THE TURKs.-Here is
whole volume concerning the customs,
manners and habits of the Turks: q" The
Turks abhor the hat; but uncovering
the head, which, with US, is an express
ion of respect, is considered by them
disrespectful and indecent; no offense
is given by keeping on hat in mosque,
but shoes must be left on the thresh-
old; the slipper and not the turban IS
removed in token of respect. The Turks
turn in their toes; they write from right
to left they mount on the right side of
the horse they follow their guests into
a room, and precede them on leaving it;
the left hand is the place of honor they
do the honors of table by serving
themselves first; they are great smok-
ers and coffee drinkers they take the
wall and walk hastily in respect; they
beckon by throwing back the hand, in
stead of throwing it towards them they
cut the hair from the head, but leave it
on the chin; they sleep in their clothes
they look on beheading as more dis
graceful punishment than strangling;
they deem our short and close dresses
indecent, our shaven chins a mark of
efeminacy and servitude; they resent
an inquiry after wives as an insult; they
commence their wooden houses at the
top, and their upper apartments are fire.

William Cullen Bryant was in Mag

William Cullen Bryant was in Mag
nolia, Florida, on the ODD of February
and participated in little patriotic Ger
emory. Last year the flagstaff near
the hotel was struck by lightning and
destroyed. 1t was determined to put
up new one, which was done on the
22d, and Mr.. Bryant made brilliant
speech on the occasion, congratulating
the company upon the time chosen for
the exercises. He quoted from Talley-
rand and Thackeray in praise of the
great George, spoke of his power in
arranging campaigns, and closed by
reciting some verses suitable to the day.

A WAR UPON STATES. Germany,
among ether reforms, is just now max
ing war upon states, urging, among
other things, that they are noisy, hurt
full to the eyes, and assist in forming a
bad handwriting, which it takes years
of practice to overcome. The re-
formers propose to replace the hated
slate by an elastic, light paper affair,
upon which ink can be used, and from
which it can be removed as often as
needful. The total abolition of states
will be joyful move for teachers as
well as pupils, and the day which wit
nesses the sharpening of the last slate
pencil should be marked with white
stone by every teacher whose teeth
have been "set on edge by the horrid
sound.-Boston Globe.

EXTRAORDINARY RESULT OF KIND
NEss.-A servant of the Rev. Rowland
Hill suddenly died, and his master
preached his funeral sermon to a nu-
merous audience, in the course of which
he mentioned the following anecdote ::
Many persons present were acquainted
with the deceased, and have it in their
power to observe his character and con-
duct. They can bear witness that l
speak the truth, when assert that for
a number of years he has proved him
self a perfectly sober, honest, indus
trious and religious man, faithfully per-
forming, as far as lay in his power, the
duties of his station of life and serving
God with constancy and zeal; and yet
this very man, this virtuous and pious
man, was once robber on the highway.
More than thirty years ago he stopped
me on the high road, and demanded my
money. Not at all intimidated, argued
with him. | asked what could induce
him to pursue so Ubiquitous course of
life. g have been a coachman, sill"
said he, " but am now out of place,
and not being able to get character,
can get no employment, and am there
fore obliged to resort to this means of
gaining a subsistence l desired him
to call upon me; he promised he would
and kept his word. l talked further
with him, and offered to take him into
service. He consented and ever since
that period he has served me faithfully,
and not me only, but he has faithfully
served God. And instead of having
finished his life in public, ignominious
manner, with depraved and hardened
mind, as he probably would soon have
done, he has died in peace, rejoicing in
hope, and prepared, we trust, for the So
ciety of just men made perfect.

A SERIOUS SUBJECT.-Never laugh
at religion. Never make jest of sa-
cred things. Never mock those who
are serious and in earnest about their
souls. The time may come when you
will count those happy whom you
laughed at-a time when your laughter
will be turned into heaviness. What
ever you please to laugh at, don't laugh
at religion.
Contempt of holy things is the high
road to infdelity. Once let man be-
gin to make jest and joke of any part
of Christianity, and l am never sur
prised to hear that he has turned out a
right-down unbeliever.
Have you really made up your mind
to thiss Have you fairly looked into
the gulf which is before you, if you
persist in despising religions Call to
mind the words of David: "The fool
hath said in his heart, There is no
God" The fool, and none but the
fool He has said it, but he has never
proved it! Remember, if ever there
was book which has been proven true
from beginning to end, by every kind
of evidence, that book is the Bible. 1t
has defed the attacks of all enemies
and fault-fnders, "The word of the
Lord is indeed tried" 1t has been
tried in every way, and the more has it
been shown to be the handiwork of
God himself.
Matthew Henry tells story of a
great statesman in Queen Elizabeth s
time, who retired from public life in
his latter days and gave himself up to
serious thought. His former gay COM
panions came to visit him, and told
him he was becoming melancholy.
mo, he replied, 81 am serious; for
all are serious round me- God is seri-
Gus, Christ is serious in interceding for
us, the truths of God are serious, our
| spiritual enemies are serious in their
endeavors to ruin us, and why then
should not you and / be serious too"
! Don't laugh at religion.

ing this vein abroad. 1t is not always
necessary to go down and labor in a
mine, to get gold by it, so long as there
remains money, ready coined, in credu-
lous pockets.
Let us go hence. The King Solo
mon Mine is a swindle; the mill is a
baseless vision. Arise, ye three outlaws,
escaped convicts, cut-throats, Anglo
Saxon savages! Pack the mules!-
hasten back to O-Be-Joyful! Buster
must be a swindler. Our thought Of
him, at first, is very bitter. We keep
pistols and daggers ever drawn upon
him in our heart. Yet, Buster was an
agreeable fellow. Buster, for an even
ing's company, was a show, menag-
erie, a performance, all in and of him.
self. He was full of original tales.
He was appreciative, and keen to de-
tect the ludicrous in everything. His
laugh was rich in heartiness. Put him
in stage-coach, railway car, steam
boat, and in half an hour he would be
the nucleus of circle attracted by his
fascinating CAB. Put him in strange
household of the strictest sect of the
Pharisees, and in day he would cap
tivate all the girls by his dash, swag-
ger, and boldness; at the same time
winning over the old gentleman by
deferential discussion with him behind
the barn, on subjects doctrinal, politi-
cal, and agricultural.
We see through Buster, now; he is
transparent as glass. Yet, we should
actually like to meet the scamp again,
could we consistently do so without a
flourish of angry trumpets. Besides,
he never importuned us to buy into the
King Solomon. He never actually de-
clared that the mine was opened, or the
mill erected. True, he showed us plates
of the mine and mill; whereupon we
recklessly inferred them to be things of
reality. Is Buster, then, to be so much
scandalized.
We have brought away with us some
fragments of the King Solomon vein,
and, when arrived in San Francisco,
carry them to the assayer. He tells US,
they show "traces of gold and silver.
Traces: Well, that is something. But.
can we find any "trace" of Buster :
We would like to analyze him. We
can not. Buster is far out of sight; he
has kicked over all the "traces. "-Ouer-
