THERE IS NO UNBELIEF.

There Is no unbelief Whoever plants a seed beneath the sod And wants to see it push away the clod,
 Trusts he in God.
 There is no unbelief Whoever says when clouds are in the sky, "Be patient, heartl Light breaketh by and by,
 Trusts the Most High.
 There is no Enbelief. Whoever sees meath Winters field of snow The silent harvest of the future grow,
 Gods power must know.
 There is no unbeief Whoever lies down on his couch to sleep, Consents to lock each sense in slumber deep,
 Knows God will keep.
 There is no unbefef. Whoever says "to-morrow," the unknown, The future, trusts that power alone
 He dares not to disown.
 There is no unbelef. The heart that looks en when eyelids close, And darcs to live when life has only woes,
 Gods comfort knows.
 There is no unbelief. And say by day and night, unconsciously, The heart lives by that faith the lips deny,
 God knoweth why.

How LADY SHOULD SIT ON HORSE The ideal of fine horsewoman is erect without being rigid, perfectly square tp the front, and, until quite at home in the saddle, looking religiously between herhorSe's ears. The shoulders should be perfectly square, but thrown back little, so as to expand the chest and make hollow waist, 'such as is observed in waltzing," but always flexible On the fexibility of the person above the seat all the grace of equestrianism, and on the frmness below all the safety, depend Nervousness makes both men and women poke their heads forward-a stupid trick in . man, unpardonable in a woman. A lady should bend like willow in storm, always returning to an easy yet nearly upright po- sition. This seat should be acquired while the lady's horse is led, first by hand, then with leading stick, and finally with lung ing-rein, which will give room for cantering in circles. But where pupil is encumbered with reins, whip, and directions for guid ing a horse, she may be excused for forgetting slI about her seat or her position. The arms down to the elbows should hang loosely near but not fixed to the sides, and the hands, in the absence of reins, may rest in front of the waist

4 JEALOUS DARKEY-THE TELL
 TALE GREEN kECKTIE.

Yesterday afternoon Anton Adam was ab- sorbed at his desk making out the death war rants of those who had not money enough to pay their county taxes. So absorbed was Anton that he did not observe the presence of a bow-legged darkey as black as are our railroad prospects, lowing and scraping like mad. At length the colored voter leaned over the railing and said, pleasantly. 'Cap- tain, is you de boss of de Grand Jury?" and then retreated in dismay at his own reck- lessness. As soon as the official could recover his presence of mind he inquired what was wanting, whereupon the colored voter replied, "Kase, if you is, I wants to sue out writ ob felony agin Jim Webster, de miserable, sickly, yaller skunk. Fore God, boss, if he was my kin I'd crawl up hollow tree and die, would de low-lved, trifling whelpn'
 Says Anton: 'What did he do?"
 "Dat's what say-he ain't wulf dat de sun shines on him, and he's done got ligeon, and sings de hymns wuss den saw-mill. wonders de perlice don't tie rock to his neck and jess drap him off de mill bridge, de wuhess, trifing popiniayr'
 "But what did he do 2" shouted Anton.
 "Well, you see, boss, don't mind telling you, kase you is gentleman, you is. You eeS, eue iaot VI iSut Cuhual tooh yVuhS colored lady a promenade, and l presented her dat evening wid a green necktie, wid blue tassels, like"
 "Well, suppose you did, remarked the be- wildered Anton.
 "Well, boss, fore God, I jess meet dat same noaccount, pumpkin faced, knock-kneed egg-sucking thief, fore God, if dere is one nigger dat spise-n
 "Well, what of iti" inquired Anton, who felt he was losing his reason.
 "Well, boss, hope may die dis minute and go to hebben, if dat wutieSs trash, of a niggah didn't hab dat berry same cravat wid de blue tassels on his neck Fore God he did, and Is gwine to hab de law on him. l wants to swear out felony to make him prove how he cum by dat neck-tie-de wufess, trifiing," etc.
 Anton made a motion to gather something fit to throw, whereupon there was speedy adjournment.
 Alter Mir. Adam had resumed his labors the head of the much injured darkey was in serted through the door, and he inquired where he could find the " discreet jedge,n referring possibly to Judge Nooman, judge of this district, as, when last seen, those bow legs were making fire time in pursuit of him.-tIS San Antonio, Texas, Herald.

AFTER MARRIAGE.

 Oh. Meg you are heavy--Pm tired; Go sit in the rocker, pray; Your weight seems hundred and ninety, When you plump down in that sort of way. You had better be mending my coat sleeve; I've spoken about it before, And want to finish this novel, And look over those bills from the store. This dressing gown sets like the al; These slippers run down at the heel; Strange, anything can never look decent: I wish you could know how they feel. Whats this bill from Morgan's? Why, surely It's not for another new dress? Look here! I'll be bankrupt ere New Year, Or your store bill will have 10 grow less. Eight o'clock? Meg, sew on this button As soon as you finish that sleeve: Neigh ho I'm so deucedly sleepy. I'll pile of to bed, l believe.

"A Stitch in Time"

The following words of warning in
regard to fires, from chief engineer
Diehl, do not seem to be out of place,
and we would suggest that our citi-
zens heed them. as near as possible.
Mr.. Diehl has had thirty years of ex-
perience, and proves whereof be
speaks:
l. Be well acquainted with the best
means of escape, from the top and
bottom of your residence.
2. Do not admit any one to a burn
ing building except firemen, police
men and neighbors.
3. IF females dress catches fire,
endeavor to roll the person in rug,
carpet. or some woollen stuff.
4. Keep doors aud windows closed
until firemen arrive.
5. Keep in your bedroom piece of
rope long enough to reach to the
ground, in case you cannot escape by
means of the stairway.
6. If you cannot get out by the
stairway get into a front room, and
keep the doors shut behind you, for
smoke follows draft, and flames follow
smoke. If smoke enters aud it is diff
ficult to stand erect, get the mouth as
close to the floor as possible, and
breathe easy, as there is always fresh
current near the floor; put wet
cloth over the mouth, and it will aid
in breathing.

An Outrageous Law.

The law in regard to newspaper
postage adopted by the last Congress
has long since proved Itself not only
an outrage on publishers, but also a
failure so far as the expected increase
of revenue is concerned. The provis-
ion saddling upon publishers is the
postage bad enough, as while the
cost of postage to individual subscrib-
ers was but trifing, the aggregate
which the publisher is now required
to pay is a serious burden. But the
gross injustice and folly of the bill
appears chiefly in the rates for tran
sient newspapers and other printed
matter, upon which the extortionate
charge of one cent an ounce is col
lected. Thus it costs from two to six
cents to send transient paper any
distances in this country, although for
two cents the same paper can be sent
to Great Britain, France, Switzerland.
Germany, Italy, and even to Turkey
and Russia. The existing law which
imposes the same rate on all third
class matter is so plainly an absurdity
and SO clearly in the interests of the
express companies as against those of
the people, that there is no doubt that
the next Congress will speedily repeal
or modify it, and the rates on tram
sient publications should be reduced
least one-half. The present tariff is
tax on knowledge and disgrace to
this country of free schools and news
papers.-EE.
