Two Good Yarns.

Speaking of shooting ducks" says
DIR. F., "puts me in mind of the great
storm that occurred when lived on the
island. AS you are all we'll aware, our
island was near Casco Bay an awful storm
arose, and was so fierce that it drove all the
ducks in the bay into a pond, covering
about an acre, near my house. In fact, so
many ducks crowded into that pond that 1
could not see drop of water %
ShO," says Smith, "did ye shute any
of 'em ?"
"That's what was coming at. went
into the house and got my double -barreled
shot gun, and discharged both barrels
right into the midst of them, but my aston
ishment, they all arose into the air, leaving
not solitary duck in the pond ~
"Good gracious ye don't say % says
Smith "didn't ye hev any shot in yer
gun, or what in thunder was the trouble ?"
"Well, / was coming to that" said DR..
f., " it astonished me at first but as soon
as the ducks rose few hundred yards in
the air, and commenced to separate a little.
ducks begun to drop, and whether you be-
lieVe 1T or not, picked up twenty-nine
barrels of ducks, and it was a poor season
for ducks, too. You see, the ducks we're
wedged in so solid in the pond, that when
they rose they carried the dead into the
air with them, and when they separated,
down came the twenty-nine barrels of dead
ducks"
"Oh, says Smith, "I'm not surprised
at that, at all, or the big lot of ducks that
yer bagged, for it was an awful storm. 1
remember it well, Doctor / had at that
time, a cornbarn full of corn; on one side
OF the barn was an open window, and on
the other side was knot-hole; and during
the storm, the wind blew SO fierce that it
blew every ear Of that corn right through
that knot-hole, and the hole being just the
size of cob only, the result was that it
shelled every ear leaving the corn in the
barn, and the next morning l found my
corn-barn half full of shelled corn, and not
single cob. had curiosity to know
where the cobs had gone to. went in the
rear of the barn, and followed the line of
those cobs over eleven miles, and at the
distance Of about five miles a large, first
growth pine tree stood in'the track, and
darn me if the wind hadn't div them cobs

Literary Curiosity.

obliged to show her husband all the letters
she wrote sent the following to a true

Why She Turned Presbyterian.

nR. HOPKINS had frightful boil on
IL his leg, and he experienced very Sc
we're pain when he tried to walk. While
he was sitting in his study the other day,
Mrs. Magruder called and was ushered in
to the parlor. The servant went up the
back stairs to tell the Doctor and while she
was on her way the Doctor started down
the front stairs to get a drink of water. 1t
hurt him SO much to walk up the steps
that he concluded to slide down the ban
listers on his stomach /; and so, after look
ing carefully over the landing to satisfy
himself that nobody was about, he mount
ed the banister and began to descend. The
stairs run directly past the parlor door,
and Mrs. Magruder was amazed to see the
clergyman descending with great rapidity,
and in that singular fashion. 1t seems
that the servant girl had placed coal
scuttle by the newel-post while she went
for the Doctor, and as he descended with
awful velocity he alighted in the scuttle
and fell to the floor. Without being aware
of the presence of the visitor, he leaped up
in rage, and exclaiming, "Hang that
woman p he gave the scuttle a kick which
sent it whirling into the parlor, where it
brought up in Mrs. Magruder's lap. OF
course she thought the demonstration and
the ejaculation were intended for her, and
after raising to her feet and shaking her
umbrella at her pastor she shouted "If
you kick another coakscuttle at me IL
punch the stuffin' out of you with this yer
umbrella p She emerged from the front
door with the conviction that Presbyterian
ism was the only religion for her.

The World without Sunday.

Think how the abstraction of the Sunday
would enslave the working classes, with
whom we are identified. Think of labor
thus going on in one monotonous and eter.
nal cycle, limbs forever on the rack, fingers
forever straininR, the brow forever droop-
ing, and the loins forever aching, the rest
less mind forever scheming. Think of the
beauty it would efface, the merry hearted
ness it would extinguish, the giant strength
it would tame Of the resources of nature
it would crush, the sickness it would bring;
Of the projects it would wreck, the groans
it would extort the lives it would immediate
and the cheerless graves it would prema-
turely dig. See them sweating and toiling
and fretting and grinding and hewing and
weaving and spinning, sowing and gath
ering, moving and reaping, raising and
building, digging and planting, and striv-
ing and struggling, in the garden and in
the field, in the granary and in the barn,
in the factory and in the mill, in the ware
house and In the shop, in the mountain and
in the ditch, on the roadside and in the
country, out at sea and on shore, in the
day Of brightness and of bloom What a
picture this world would present If we had
no Sabbath !
