NOTHING LIKE CoMPARIsoN.- Jim"
was hoeng in the garden, the other after
noon. That is, he had his back against
II cherry tree and was lazily chopping ut
weeds and vines together, hitting one
when he missed the other. Along came
II boy OF about the same age, and look
ing over the fence, exclaimed
" What You working ?"
Yas," was the sad reply.
" "Hoeing up weeds with the thermom-
etcr at ninety in the shade ?"
Yas."
After II short period of astonshment
the new boy confidently inquired
"Jim, how can Christian parents ex-
pect II boy to hoe and dig and rip up
the soil with the thermometer way up
sky high ?"
But I've either got to hoe or get
licked" protested Jim.
Then Jim, come on, let's go fish
ing and you take the licking, Fishing
will lnst halfa day anyhow, and II lick
ing doesn't last over ten minutes"
. Yes, it hurts little, but just think
how we'll sit on the wharf and make
them big black bass holler for mercy
all day long ! Can't you stand as much
as a fish ?''
Jim thought he could, and hung his
hoe on limb, crawled through the
fence, and the weeds knew him no
more.

NO FUN IN HIM.

One Of the members of tho Methodist
Conference, recently held here, was out
for walk at an casly hour one morning,
and while on Howard street he oncoant-
cred II strapping big fellow, who was
drawing n wagon to the blacksmith shop.
" Catch hold here and help mo down
to the shop with this wagon and III buy
the whisky !" called the big fellow.
" | never drink" solemnIy replied tho
good man.
" Well, you can take cigar"
" never smoke"
The man dropped the wagon tongue,
looked hard at the member, and asked
Don't you chew ?"
" No, sir" was the decided roply.
" You must got mighty lonesome"
mused the teamster.
:" guess I'm all right feel first
rate"
"l'll bet lou even that can lay you
on your back," remarked the toamster.
" | never bet"
" Well, let's take each other down for
fun, then. You are rs big ms | am, and
I'll give you the under hold"
g never have fun" solemnly ans
wered the member.
" We'll, I'm going to tackle you any
way. Here we go ~
The teamster slid up and endeavored
to get neck hold, but he had only Just
commenced to fool about when he was
lifted clear of the grass and slammed
against tree box with such force that
he gasped half Il dozen times before he
could get his breath.
" Now you keep away from me !" OK
claimed the minister picking up his cane.
Bust me if | don't !" replied tho
teamster rs he edged Off. What's the
use in lying and saying that you didn't
have any fun in you, when you're chuck
full Of il Blame it you wanted TO break

ADVICE TO GIRLs.-In marrying,
make your own match do not marry
any man to get rid Of him. or to obIige
him, or to save him. The man who
woGld go to destruction without you will
be quite as likely to go with you, and
perhaps drag you along. Do not marry
in haste, lest you repent at leisure do
not marry for II home or II living, when
by taking care Of your health you can be
strong enough to earn your own living
Do not place yourself habitually in the
society ot any suitor until you have de-
cidrd the qdestion Of marriage human
wills are weak, and people often become
bcwiIdered, and do not know their errors
until it is too late. Get away from their
influence, settle your head and make up
your mind alone. A promise may be
made in moment Of sympathy, or even
half delicious ecstacy, which must be re-
deemed through years Of sorrow, toll and
pain. Do not rush thoughtlessly, hastily
into welded life contrary to the counsel
OF your best friends. Love can wait
tnat which cannot wait is something of "a
different character.

SIGNAL SERVICE ROMANCE.

A correspondent at Washington tells
the following veracious anecdote
| heard a day or two ago hitherto
unpublished romance connected with the
life of one of the most prominent officials
of the Signal Service Bureau. He was,
my informant states, once engaged to be
married to beautiful young lady. The
eve of the wedding had dawned if an
eve can dawn-and they were occupying
the same rocking chair and talking as
insaney as only lovers can talk, when
the fair one said
" Albert, there is one thing wish you
to do when we are married."
" Name it," he replied making her
feel that her corsets were mile too
large.
THAT is-to have no rain on Mondays,
because you know, darling, that Monday
is washing day, and it the things are not
washed and dried then, the weeks work
is SO feartully put back. You will, won't
you, my own ?"
The young mans heart was torn, but
he replied
" Maud, dearest, my duty to my bleed
ing country demands imperatvely that
| shall whoop her up the precise sort OF
weather that heaven will probably send
impartially during the next twenty four
hours upon the just and the unjust, with
out regard to age, sex, or previous con

quarrel and parted enemies. She return.

SINGULAR SKILL OF A BLIND MAN.
John Stanley, the musician, lost his sight
when two years of age. He had SO cor
rect an ear that he never forgot the voice
OF Il person he had once heard speak. An
instance is given in which he recollected
the voice of II person he had not heard for
twenty years, who then accosted him in
nm assumed voice. If twenty persons
were seated at the table together, he
would address them in regular order,
without their situations being previously
known to him. Riding on horse back
was his favorite exercise, though it would
seem n very dangerous one for the blind,
and toward the close of his life, when he
lived at Epping Forest, England, and
wished to give his friends an airing, he
would take them the pleasantest road, and
point out the most agreeable prospects.
He played at whist with great readiness
and judgment. Each card was marked
Mt the corner with the point of n needle,
but these marks were so dcllcately fine
as scarcely to be discerned by any per-
son not previously apprised of them
His hand was generally the first arrang-
ed, and it was not uncommon for him to
complain of the party that they We're too
tedious in asserting their cards. He
could tell the exact time by watch
He knew the number of persons in a
room when he entered it would direct
even to strangers when they had once
spoken; and would miss any one if they
were absent, and could tell who that one

A Practical USE CT DoGs.-It is n
fact perhaps not generally known that
there is firm in San Francisco who pur-
chase the thousands Of dogs slaughtered
by the pound master Of that city or that
may have been otherwise killed, for
which they pay 40 cents each. The car
casses are conveyed 10 their manufactory
at South San Francisco whore the skins
are removed and sold TO the tanneres,
the hair is taken of and resold to the
plasterers, the hide tanned, made into
gloves and sold in The market. The de-
nuded carcass is then thrown into q huge
cauldron and boiled until the bones are
easily separated from the flesh, when
they are removed and sold to the sugar
reiineries, where they are ground to
pJwder and used to clarity sugar. The
oil that rises to the surface of the boiling
mass is skinned off and manufactured
into cod liver oil, and the remainder is
used for the purpose Of fattening hogs.
