An Amusing Incident,

An old gentleman, apparently from
the country, went TO the Tabernacle one
evening recently. Seating himself COM
fortably in an ushcr's chair he gazcd
with satisfaction upon the scene around
him and listened to the music of the
choir. Soon one Ofthc ushers approach.
cd and politely informed him he was
occupying an llshcr's scat.
"Yes." said the old gent. lit is very
good seat indeed"
''But il is the ushcr's seat" repeated
the young man with more emphasis.
"Ics," remarked the old man. ''vou
told me so before"
"But | say il is the ushcr's scat and
YOU must not occupy it,"
WHO is the usher
IL am"
And you want me to get up. dc
you?"
"Ycs, do"
"Scc here, Young man. do You think
this is the way TO treat an old gentle
man like me who has come to get rcli.
gion?"
IL will see whether you will get up
or not, said the now iratc Young man
who went 10 secure the aid of Il brother
usher.
The old gentleman saw the two re-
turning, with determination in thcil
eyes and the wands of authority in thcir
hands, and hc said to them: "Now
don't aggra>atc me, yonng mon, don't
aggravatc me. When | get excited
am very liable to have fits. feel one
coming on now. If | do have n fit You
just take me out into the fresh air.
The suggestion of fits caused panic
among the ladies and gentlemen in the
vicinity, and the seats around him were
vacated with great alacriiy.
The old gentleman (who by the way
is one of our well-known citizens and
who enjoys n joke) took advantage OF
this circumstance to secure a seat near
er the platform, where he could hear
better. The ripple ofexcitcment subsid.
ed and DR.. Tourjee requested the audi.

The Shortest Deed on Record.

Scribncr for May contains paper of
"Reminiscences of Washington" from
unpublished family records. Among
the anecdotes of Washington there re-
lated is the following:
In August, 1876, after a few delight
i'ul days spent with their distinguished
relatives, Captain Lewis relates that the
following conversation took place nj the
breakfast table tho morning fixed for
their departure.
Washington was, as all the world
knows, n man of few words, and while
he quietly partook of his frugal meal
the conversation flowed chcerfully on
between the other members of the fam
lily present. Suddenly his nephew
turned laughing to him and said:
"Uncle, what do YOU think dreamed
last night"
The General replied he could not
guess. and asked TO be told. Captain
Lewis, continuing to laugh mcrrilv. re-
piled:
"Why, | dreamed you gave me your
farm on Deep Run"
''Humph.' calculated his uncle
"You had better have dreamed | gave
you Mount Vernon"
No more was said on the subject, and
Captain Lewis had quite forgotten his
unmeaning dream as he placed his wife
in the carriage, and bade his uncle and
aunt goodbye. Washington followed
him 10 the carriage, and bade his uncle
and aunt goodbye. Washington fol-
lowed him to the carriage, and handed
him folded paper, saying as he did so
"Iou can look at that when you reach
homc.' Captain Lewis received the
paper in astonishmcnt, but could make
no reply, as the carriage now rolled
swiftly away. lie might have felt in
duty bound to suffer the pangs of curl
osity until he reached home, but his
wife had no such conscientious scruples
| she had not been forbidden TO open il,
and so she soon succeeded in gaining
possession of the mysterious paper, and
before Mount Vernon was lost in the
distance she discovered the fact that
they had left that modest dwelling much
richer than when they entered it,
Whether Washington had intended Ia
bestow the Deep Run farm in his will
upon his nephew, and only fastened the
time of the gift. or whether. with the
quiet humor in which he rarely indulg-
ed, he thus proved the dream of which
he had been told practical reality, was
never known. The deed is said TO be
the shortest on record, and is as follows

Keep Your Promise.

A boy borrowed tool from car
penter, promising 10 return il at night.
Before evening he was sent away on an
errand, and did not return until late.
Before going he was told that his broth
er should see that the article was return
ed. After he had come home he in
quired and found the tool had not been
sent TO its owner. lie was much dis
trossed In think his promise had not
been kept, hui was persuaded TO go to
sleep and rise early and carry it
home the next morning. By daylight
he was up, and nowhere was the tool TO
be found, Ailer long. fiuitlcss search
he set oil for his neighbor's in great
distress to acknowledge his fault. Bni
how great was his surprise to lind the
tool on his ncighbor's doorstone. And
then ii appeared, from the prints of his
little bare feet in the mud, that the lad
had got up in his sleep and carried the
tool home, and gone 10 bed again with
out knowing H. OF course boy who
was prompt in his sleep was prompt
when awake. Respected while he lived,
he had confidence of his neighbors, and
was placed in many offices of trust and
profit. If all grown persons felt as this
boy did there would be a good many
tracks of hare feet found some of these
bright mornings, and what piles of
books and tools would be found AT their
owners doors,

Marriage Etiquetle.

II is contrary TO custom 10 invite
guests TO the marriage of widow. II
n widower marries Young girl, the
etiquette is the same as that of first
marriage. A widow must marry in
the morning early, without show, and
has only her witnesses and tiiusc OF her
intended. Her dress must be plain, of
quiet color; black, however, is not adj
missible. On leaving church, the bride
invites TO breakfast the witnesses who
have formed the party, but no other
guests are Invited TO this repast. On
the ilfioon day after the marriage, cards
are sent bearing tho new addresses OF
the married pair. A widow never
makes wedding calls after rcmarrying.
Those who receive the cards do the Wis

the return of cards and the visits.

The Spring Appetite.

About this time of year large pro-
portion of the people in our northern
climatc-even those of pretty vigorous
hcalth-begin TO lose their relish for
food. The breakfast bell has no music
in il. Lunch is bore, and il takes
them some time TO make up their minds
what they can cat for dinner. The man
charges il to the ''muggy spring wealth
err" or else concludes that he is "gctting
bilious Whatever the cause, he feels,
ms the old fashioned folks would say.
"kinder gir cout." And 50. in the
American fashion, he goes to dosing.
He eats rhubarb, or takes salts. or
drinks ale or ''root and yarb' tea. Or,
if he be poor and gullible, he swallows
two or three kinds of patent medicine
anything TO disturb and punch up, as
il were, poor mother nature.
Now this is all very bad Kind of
nonsense. Even the physicians have
made wonderful progress within the
past ten years toward n practical recog-
milton of the fact that nature rarely
needs medicine to help her children out
of trouble. There was pound given
twenty years ago, where an ounce suf-
fees now. Intelligent people have
learned that a wise regulation of diet,
with physical warmth and cleanliness,
and plenty of either rest or exercise
will prevent or cure all ordinary disar-
rangements ofthc system. No one who
has put thought into his eating, and OBJ
served the effects of food or drink upon
himself, as every sensible man should
do, need ever do violence to his system
with physic. But there are men who
will indulge in meats and heat and fat
making food all winter-makc no
change when spring comes, and then
wonder what is the matter with their
appetite. The air, the skies. the face of
the earth, all change, and all the condi-
tions of living are altered; but they
stick to their beef and ham and mutton
and hearty food just the same in April
or May as in December or January
Nature brings them up with n round
turn, and says: "Give me fair show
If You wont treat me right I'll be re-
venged.' And so the man has 'spring
appetite" and drenches himself with
bitters, or peppers himself with pills.
II is n great pity that common sense
in :hesc matters should be so uncom-
mon. If man isn't hungry, why
should he eat? If he can eat breakfast

4 IIideous Protection.

A pleasant story is told by Sir John
Lubbock, quoting from Weissmann, IL
Illustrative Of The means Of protection
which some insects possess. The cater
pillar Of the sphinx moth is quite us
good food for birds as any other insect !;
but il is perfectly protected by its ugli-
ness. Its face Isl its fortune, having two
great spots Oh il which look like eyes
when the caterpillar wriggles. In gen.
eral the insect is suggestive OF small
snake, especially when ii is frightened
so that it draws back its head and shows
its false eyes TO advantage. NJ. Weiss
mann put one of these caterpillars into
a seed tray where he usually fed spar
rows and other small birds. The first
bird that alightcd on the edge of the
tray, perceiving the insect, became half
paralyzed with fear. Eight or ten birds
joined the first one, but all stood on the
edge of the tray, afraid to go in. One
bird flew into the tray at first. hut on
seeing the caterpillar hastily scrambled
ont and joined the company on he edge
that were bobbing their heads up and
