The Pretticst Thing / Ever Heard.

A Good elder, whose mind was al
most totally abs ,rb ed in making money
was reclaimed from the habit of slceping
in church as follows;
The preacher had tried many ways to
get the attention Of elder a., but every
effort seemed to be of no avail. He
! would occupy seat very close to the
pulpit, throw his head back on tho bench
aDd'take nap rs long as tho sermon.
This cold Indifference greatly annoyed
the wakeful portion Of the congregation
and more especially the preacher. Know
ing the elders great propensity for mon
ey, the preacher pinned bright green
back dollar to the bottom of his notes,
and before advancing ia his discourse
he raised his notes iu full view of his
now half asleep hearer and soon got his
entire attention. During the sermon
the preacher kept his notes in his loft
hand with the bottom or dollar side
turned toward the elder, who was now
all attention. The services ended, and
as usual some asked Brother A. how he
liked the serman. Says he. 1T was tho
prettiest thing I ever (saw) heard.'-

"That furnace fire is slow to flame

ical life,a leaves politics for season
of rest, Hon. Schuyler Colfax manages,
or rather happens, to keep himself be-
fore the public in most wonderful
manner. The temperance addresses
he has delivered here, there and all
over, the Odd Fellows speeches he has
made without stint, and the letters he
has written for print on almost every
possible occasion, for tired man are
something remarkable. His last letter,
one Of considerable length, is written
declining an invitation to speak some
where in Mississippi. He is pro-
foundry sorry that he can't go; but pro-
vides for the sad disappointment by
telling the Mississippians just what
their State is made of, and its immense
future possibilities. 1t is long enough
to take the place Of speech, ana fat
tering enough to take the place of his
presence. The love Of the ex-Vice-
President seems to extend to all the
sections of the country, and the people
should be truly grateful that man who
needs rest so much still takes such a
laborious interest in their welfare.
IF ex-Congressman James w. Gaz-
ley, who died in Cincinnati recently at
the age of 90, had lived in this age be
would have served more terms in Con-
gress than he did. He had the honor

rendered him SO unpopular that at the
next election he was defeated. This
so disguised him that he never entered
politics again. Imagine man repudia-
ted by the people to-day for refusing
to vote any man gratuity $500,
600. Such proposition would raise a
howl Throughout the length and breadth
Of the land. The "Reminiscences shows us

The Racine Journal furnishes the In

tinent "reminders:"
The Industrial A ge is so"reminded"
that the railroad question was not be-

years that the Republican party was in
power, that while there might have
been discomfort at the course of
the railroads there was no opposition
to their usurpation. The Age is also

was any such institution as a grange

ever much good they may be doing
now. The Age is also reminded that
it take IS long time for the people to
arouse themselves; that
''That furnace fire is slow to flame

And, lastly, the Age is forcibly re-
minded that the Reform party of Wis
