A MINISTER in q Massachusetts, town
near the New Hampshire line, whose
salary is somewhat in arrears is report
ed to have astonished his congregation
on recent Sunday by saying to them
from the pulpit, do not, my dear hear
ers, delude yourselves with the idea that
I am an angel, for / am far from having
arrived at that blissful state. I'll were
an angel, / would fly away to heaven
and getmy dinner, and come back and
preach to You again; bnt as am yet of
ths earth, earthly, | must have some
thing to eat, and in order to do that |
must have some money to pay the bills"

his brains for some interesting topic of

Up 4 TREE night last winter,
Young Mullen, of New Castle, who
feared that the lady he loved was en-
tertainink an admirer, determined to
climb tree in the yard, from which
he could see into the sittlng-room IN
the second story, where the young
woman was supposed to be. just as
he got himself fixed in comfortable
position commanding the window
some one upon the inside pulled the
curtain down. Then Mullen made up
his mind to descend. 1t was very dark,
but lust as he began to slide down the
trunk Mullen heard dog barking fu-
riously beneath, and, looking down, he
saw a huge animal capering about APP
parently very eager to nip Mr.. Mullens
leo Then Mullen suddenly climbed
no the tree and endeavored to drive oil
the dog. but the more he spoke to the
brute the more he danced around and
barked. Then Mullen came down as far as
he dared, and tried to coax the animal
but this only made him hop about, and
howl more furiously than ever. 80
it became apparent that Mullen
would have to spend the night IN
the tree. He fixed himself as com.
Portable as he could in a crotch OF the
limbs, and kicked his legs and moved
his arms to keep himself from freezing
to death. Several times, when he
thought the dog asleep, he attempted te
descend, but each time the brute awoke
and began TO caper about. BY the
time daylight arrived, Mullen was Sc
benumbcd that he could hardly use hls
hands: but as the sky grew brighter
he leaned over TO examine his persecu
tor, and To his amaZement he found that
it was his own dog. which, unknown tt
him. had followed him To the tree, and
had barked and capered only 10 express
his delight at the prospects of Mullen
coming down and going home. The
suddenness with which Mullen came to
the ground is said 10 have been remark
able, and the language used by hin
bad. He has some of the rheumatism
which he got on that night in his bones
l. yet.

THE Columbus (Ga.) Enquirer tells
a little joke. There is little station
on the Selma and Meridian Railroad
named Cuba. A few nights since as
the train, with an immigration agent
and a crowd of freedmen going west,
reached this place, the brakcsman put
his head inside the car and sang out
"Cubaw One old darkey rose and as
his wool Strengthened out, said, Oar!
fore God, | knowed it! Hur we is in
Cuba; an dat ar white mans guine
put us in dc war fore day. Off! Use
gwine from here.' And he, with about
thirty more, loped off into the woods,
leaving the agent to use his "big cuss"
words about Cuba, brakesman, and the
uncertainty of the "niggers.'

Mischief in the Air.

We canno: analyzc the 1rial poisons that pro.

colored; we only ask equal advantages in
matters of public and common rights. ms
we consider to be all that is embraced 10 what
is known as the Civil Rights bill, and in order
that we may be understood and no false
charges made against us we hereby declare
that the Republican party does not desire or
seek mixed schools or mixed accommodation
for the colored people, but they ask that in
all of these advantages they shall be equal. We
want no special equality enforced by law.
We recognize the fact that every home is
sacred from intrusons, AMI that in free
country every one can dictate for himself the
line of social exclusion that society gave us
by laws more inexorable than statute or com
mon law, and opens or closes It's door 10
whomsoever it WILL and that no civil law can
or should invade it.
6. We hold that governments are Instituted
among men for the protection of life, and lib
erty, and property, and we demand rigor-
| Gus execution OF the laws of this State, and OF
the United States for that purpose, and we
call on the Governor of this State to take all
| legal means at his command for the purpose of
discovering and bringing to trial all persons
offending against the laws. Murder by lying
in ambush, whether by one or many, must be
pu, an end to, and the peace and security of
the humblest home must be respected and
protected.
I. The good faith and the credit of the State
were well sustained, and the price Gifts bonds,
when the government passed from the hands
of Governor Smith to his Democratic sue
cessor in November, 1870, is unmistakable ev-
idence of the fact; and We pledge ourselves to
use the means of the State for the payment
of all its just debts, and to provide for the
proper adjustment Of what is called the rail-
road Indebtedness of the State, and to put an
end to the further Endorsement of the bonds
of all private corporations. These results can
be achieved by an economical use Of our re-
sources without expressing the people. Good
faith, economy, and retrenchment of all I'M
| necessary expense n the use of aur resources
will secure the result.
s. That the seizure Of the Alabama and
Chattanooga Railroad by the Democratic Adj
ministralion has resulted in greatly impair
ing the value of the allotted security held by
the State to provide for the payment of the
State liability thereon, and we are of the
opinion that instead of Selling the road and
thereby destroying the security it furnished to
protect the State from loss on the bonds it has
indorsed, the plainest principles dictate that
the road should be managed by those most in
terested in it.
