WHY JOHNNY L1KEDTHE M1NIsTER-The
following, which we find in an exchange, has
rich suggestions in it, which We commend to
the thoughtful consideration of clergymen
generally:
"Oh, wasn't that good minister we had to-
day~ said Johnny.
ayes, very good. Which sermon did you
like bestr' said the teacher.
Oh, I don't know; it wasn't the sermons al.
together that I mean"
"What then ?"
"Why he prayed for Sunday schools and
bows 90 good I never heard any one pray 80
much for boys Most of them do not. That
is why I liked him. '.'@
"Do you like to be prayed for?" -.
why, yes, of course I do"
"The minister prayed to-day that all the
boys might be Christ's boys. Did YOU like
that2"

THE MoTHER-1N.L LAW, AGAIN.-Why is it
that the English-speaking man loves not the
presence and is Indifferent to the memory
of the mother-in-law? And why, as gener-
al thing, do they chuckle over such statements
as this?
"It was the night on which John Todd
made his great speech to the colored popu-
lation on Munjoy Hill. Captain Morrill, from
time to time awoke the echoes with his can
non. A man rushed up to him, and said:
"'For Gods sake, don't fire any more!
"'Why notY asked the astonished John.
"'There's dead woman lying in the next
house.
"Well,' said John, if she's dead, the noise
won't hurt her; and the country must be
saved

but she's my mother-in-law, and I've heard
that guns will awake the dead

REVENGE. the Revolutionary
War there was living in Pennsylvania, Peter
Miller, pastor of little. Baptist church.
Near the church lived man who secured an
unenviable notoriety by his abuse of Miller
and the Baptists. He was also guilty of
treason, and was for this sentenced to death.
No sooner was the sentence pronounced than
Peter Miller set out on foot to visit General
Washington, in Philadelphia, to intercede for
the mans life He was told that his prayer
could not be granted. my friend" exclaim-
ed Miller, 81 have not worse enemy living
than that man." "What," rejoined Wash
ington; "you have walked sixty miles to save
the life of your enemy2 That, in my judg-
ment, puts the matter in different light. l
will grant you his pardon
The pardon was made out, and Miller at
once proceeded on foot to place fifteen miles
distant, where the execution was to take place
on the afternoon of the same day. He ar
rived just as the man was being carried to
the scafold, who seeing Miller in the crowd,
remarked: "There is old Peter Miller. He
has walked all the way from Ephratah to have
his revenge grati6ed to-day, by seeing me
hung" These words we're scarcely spoken
before Miller gave him his pardon and his
life was spared.

A SOUTHERN PREAcHER.-The Rev. Sam
uel Clawson, Methodist preacher of eccen-
trio manners, some times called the "wild man" !"
was very popular in Virginia some twenty
years ago. He was cross-eyed and wiry made,
and very dark-skinned for white man. At
times he was surprisingly eloquent, always
excitable, and occasionally extravagant. He
once accompanied brother minister, Rev.
Mr.. r., prominent pastor, to colored
church. Mr.. R. gave the colored preacher
the hint, and of course Clawson was invited
to preach. He did so, and during the sermon
set the impulsive Africans to shouting all over
the house.
This, in turn, set Clawson to extravagant
words and actions, and he leaped from the
pulpit like a deer, and began to shake hands
with the colored brethren and mix quite hap
PLY. He wept for joy. Then pressing
through the crowd he found Brother T., and,
sitting down beside him, he threw his arms
about his neck, and with tears streaming
down his his cheeks, he said
Brother R., / almost wish had been born
a nigger. These folks have more religion
than we have" ..
"Well, we'll" said Brother R" ," you came so
near that you needn't cry about it."

s@ John B. was on trial for assault with
intent to kill. 1t was in evidence that the
prisoner had struck the injured man on the
head with an iron bar, and so fractured the
skull that portion of the brain actually es-
capped yet the man recovered. The only
hope of saving the prisoner from conviction
was to weaken the evidence of DR.. S., who at
tended the wounded man, by making him con-
tradict himself. This was undertaken by D.,
who was more remarkable for impertinence
to witnesses than legal ability.
"Now, DOCTOR" said D., "did I understand
you to say in your direct testimony that
Watts skull was so badly fractured that the
brains actually escaped from the woundf"
"That was my evidence"
"And do you pretend to say that man
could lose portion Of his brains and still
lve%
90, yes," replied the doctor. 81 have
known men to live and practice law without
any brains at ALL"

RIVAL LAwYERs.-Two lawyers in coun-
try court-one of whom had gray hair, and
the other, though just as old man as his
learned friend, had hair which looked suspi-
ciously black-had some alteration about a
question of practice, in which the gentleman
with the dark hair remarked to his opponent,
"A person at your time of life"-looking at
the barrister'sgray head-"ought to have long
enough experience to know what is custom
ary in such cases." "You may stare at my
gray hair if you like My hair will be gray
as long as I live, and yours will be black as
long as you dye" retorted the other.

nHE GETS DRUNK

"He's the smartest young man in our
class"
"Yes, but he gets drunk"
20, but he's so fine looking, so noble, and
so talented, witbal His composition yester.
day was the very best in our division. He
writes splendidly They say he is writing
for magazine Only think Of it writing for
magazine, no older than he is, and not ont
of school yet! Won't he bea great man,
though, some day"
mo, don't think he will"
"Why not?' ..,.
"He gets drunk"
90, that's nothing; good many smart
men get drunk. Every young man has bis
wild oats to cow and because fellow gets a
little boozy once in while, wouldn't con.
denim him forever; quite likely he'll outgrow
it when be gets older and sees the folly of it.
"More likely that will outgrow ham, and as
to getting little boozy, I'm afraid he was a
good deal so when the boys found him beside
the walk the other night and had to carry
him to his room, lodging around the street
corners, and skulking through by-ways, 80
that none of the Professors would see him.

men that have any confidence in, are those
who let intoxicating liquors entirely alone.
"Well, I don't care, he's good and smart,
any how, and like him." 49,

So the conversation ran on between two
schoolmates who were walking just ahead Of
me. All, how those words, HE gets drunk, u
kept ringing in my ears Possessed offs noble
