What is more invigorating than
good hearty laugh? The world is sad
and careworn enough. 1t learns more
than enough of crimes and misery
through the press. All manner of de-
bauchery and misfortune is served up
hot, as though about the only thing
people cared to read was that which
would create shudder from horror, or
disgust at the Inconsistency and weak
ness OF frail human nature. 1t never
hurt us to laugh. We feel indebted
as much to the wits as to the philoso-
piers of the world and while we may
be able to contribute little ourselves,
we shall set apart column each week,
to be devoted to what appears to us to
be especially amusing. 1t has been
said of Mr.. Lincoln, that he used to
keep one or two volumns Of such
writers as Artemas Ward, Philander
Doesticks and Josh Billings, lying near
at hand, and when weary and perplex-
ed he would take one up, and, after
indulging in hearty laugh at theirdroI-
leries, resume his work.

UNCLE ZEKES CONSCIENCE.

On the banks Of the numerous creeks !
that indent the western shore Of the
Lower Chesapeake stands a little house
built of plain slabs roughly riven, and
ingeniously rooted with combination
of old shingles, pieces Of pine board,
straw, rags and rubbish, wonderful to
behold. This is Uncle Zeke's cabin.
Some years ago there moved to the
neighborhood Of Uncle Zelle's cabin
gentleman from New York, whose
identity may be disguised under the
name of Smith. The new conner en-
gagged vigorously in farming, and by
liberal employment and prompt pay
ment soon gained the good will Of all
the colored men around him. Uncle
Zeke in particular was never weary Of
chanting his praises, and many bush
ell of oysters did Zeke convert into mon
ey at Bellevue, as Smiths estate was
called. But all the good will Of his
humble neighbors did not suffice to
protect Mr.. Smith from pilferings.
Shoats would disappear mysteriousIy
during the night, geese and turkeys
would take wing for parts unknown,
and in particular the corn crib would
frequently show by unmistakable signs
that its sancity had been violated. To
the story Of these various losses would
Uncle Zebe incline sympathetic ear,
and his "Well, now, who ever hear de
like O. dat? Clar to goodness desc yere
boys is gettin' wtlsser an wusser," evi-
denced alike his detestation Of the
crime and his contempt for the offend
er.
Smiths patience was at last ex-
hausted, and he determined upon Wig.
orous measures for the protection o.
his property. His first experiment
was to place large spring rat-trap
artistically concealed in heap o
shelled corn, close by the cat hole il
the corn crop door, expecting that thC
unwary thief plunging his hand reck
lessly through the hole into the heap
: would be caught and held until SOM
one came to set him free. But 10
next morning the trap was founc
sprung and the heap of corn diminished
! but thief had vanished and left n
trace behind.
At last a good sized box arrive
from New York, and the next day th
local carpenter was ordered to fix tw
brass handles to the corn crib one t
be put alongside the door for conver
ience, as Mr.. Smith publicly explained
of steadying ones self while turnin
Z the other. The second handle ha
latch attached to it by which Il

LET'S LAUGH A LITTLE.

There was a burst in tin conductor
leading from the roof Of the house on
the corner Of Rose and Myrtle streets,
the other afternoon, and the water thus
oaeaiaing ran aaso5s the walk. Fowtra
night the weather stiffened up and the
loose water became a sheet of ice.
About four o'clock the next morning
there was slight fall Of snow. In the
basement Of the building an Italian
gentleman has fruit store. Shortly
after six o'clock this morning he had his
outside wares in line Of display.
Peanuts being speciality with him,
two or three bushels Of that article
made tempting pile on large stand.
While he was making this arrange
ment a carpenter with q tool-box on
his shoulder came around the corner,
and stepping on the concealed ice,
Immediately threw his tool-box into
the street, got up himself, looked
around to see what had happened, and
then picked up his tools. This so
amused the Italian that he felt obliged
to rush into the shelter Of the basement
to conceal his delight. Had he been
a native of this country it might have
suggested itself to him to sweep the
thin guise of snow from the ice and to
sprinkle salt or ashes upon it, but be-
ing a foreigner and not very well ac-
quained with our language, he did not
think Of this, but instead he posted
himself in position to give him good
view Of the corner and patiently wait
ed for developments. He saw them
! If his object was to get an idea of the
fullness and fexibility of the Englisl
language he could not have possibly
adopted better course.
Scarcely had the carpenter gathered
up his things and limped off when
man smoking came hurrying along
When he reached the ice he suddenl
turned part way round, bit a briar-woo'
pipe completely in twain, and slid on hi
breast off from the walk into the gutter
He got up, cautiously recovered hi
pipe, and melted away. The Italia

UNFINISHED WoRK.-Nothing teach
es more impressively mans frailty than
his unfinished undertakings. Lying
in the quarry near the Syrian city of
Baalbec is the largest worked stone in
the world, gigantic block nearly sew
enty feet in length, almost detached
and ready for transportation to its
niche in the titanic platform of the
Temple of the Sun. 1t seems as
though the workmen had just momen-
tarily left their labor, and we fancy
that we must soon see them returning,
But forty centuries or more ago some
providential emergency called them
from their work; and there lies the
huge block, and yonder is the cyclope-
an wall with its vacant niche, one OF
the most striking and impressive OF
the unfinished labors of the world.
And so the colossal Kutub Minar,
though a finished column in itself, is
but a fragmentary memorial Of a gi'
gantic unfinished plan; and as such il
will doubtless stand to teach many
generations yet to come that, thougl
man may propose, heaven will dis
pose Myers Remains Of Lost En-
pires.

CRADLE SONG.
Sleep, my baby, beside the FIRE,
Sleep, child, sleep:
Winds are wailing higher and higher,
Waves are rising, higher and higher,
Sleep, child, sleep;
While the father, out ON the sea,
Tolls all night for thee and me.
Sleep, my baby, content and blest;
Sleep, child, slecp
Whether the heart in my mothers breast
BE light or heavy-so best so best!

While thy father, out on the sea,
Tolls all night for thee and me.
YOUNG AND OLD.
When we are young our boys are sweet,
They climb our knees and lie at our feet
When we are old they are hard to please,
Cold as the rock and wild as the breeze:
They kiss us kindly and speak us fair,
But we know their hearts are otherwherc.
o, my son $ my son till he gets him a wife,
But my daughter S my daughter all her life.
When we are young our days are bright
And fun hope from morn till night;
When we are old we sit alone,
And think of pleasant days long gone,
When the house was fun of the children's noist
The wilful girls and the naughty boys
Oh, my son 5 my son till he gets him wife,
But my daughter s my daughter all my life.
"WHEN A MAN COMES HOME"
When a man comes home,
Don't begin to wrangle;
Better far to sleep
In the hungry deep,
Meath white sheets Of foam,
And of sea-wced tangle,
Peace, peace, peace:
Cease, cease, cease.
When a man comes home,
Don't begin to wrange.
When n man comes home,
Let him enter smiling;
Take the children sweet,
Playing round his feet;
Throw off grief and gloom
And the worlds bcguiling.
Peace, peace, peace;
Cease, cease cease.
When man comes home,
Let him find all smiling.
When man comes home,
He should still remember
'Tis not always May,
Either work or play
Sure as June will come,
There will come December,
Peace, peace peace;
Cease, cease, cease
Evening brings all home,
And sunshine in December.

If we were fallen angels, with pow
erful intellects, accustomed to solve
eternal mysteries, glowing, like stars
in this, our neither armament, and with
vast moral energies, and ages in which
to perform, | can imagine that God
would have given us a very different
an immencely fuller scheme Of doctrine
and duties than he has given. But
remembering that so brief is life that
we can know but little, he has flashed
the saving truth before our souls, so
that he may run that reads. The dy-
ing thief saw that truth at the opening
gates Of Paradise, fuller, deeper
truth than all the PHILOSOPHERS and re.
ligions Of the world could bring to the
most ardent students. There is nc
surer evidence of human ignorance anC
folly than the determination to believe
nothing that we cannot fully fathom
AS well might an insect try to fathon
the ocean with one dip of his proboscis
as for one of us to sound the nature 0
God, or Of eternity, in the brief spac
of human life. Behold the consider
alton of God in telling us, so simpl
and yet so clearly, all we need to know
and telling it in such way that it fall
into the heart as easily as light throug
a window into your dwelling, il 20
will only make your heart walls trans

The National Baptist says "The
December number Of the Missionary
Magazine gives some facts Of an eco
nomical interest. In one Of our Indi-
an "wars," so called, fifteen or twenty
Indians were killed, at an expense,
according to President Grant, Of $780,
600, 900, or nearly 100000 each.
To dislodge a handful of Modocs from
the lava beds cost us q hundred lives,
and Sc, 700, 900. Now, over against
these, put the cost Of missions. 1t
cost, at the very outside, a few hun
drcd thousand dollars to civilize and
Christianizc the Seminoles, Cherokees,
and Choctaws, to give us John Jumper,
instead Of Captain Jack. 1t cost a
little more than a million dollars to
ciSilizc the Sandwich Islands. Take
The late political campaign. 1t was
estimated that in New England 40C
barrels Of oil were used up every night
during the active part of the canvass
for torchlight professions. And this
was but fraction of the expense o
the display. Each of the parties spent
millions, perhaps many millions. We
do not altogether object to this, in 81
far as it served to educate and arouse
the people. But when we remembe
that the cost of one torchlight process
sion would have educated a thousanC
colored children for year, woulC
have educated fifty or hundred mel
who would have been leaders anon,
them, would have started half-dOzel
mission schools in the slums Of Ney
York, and gone far to transform beast
into men, we confess that we can Sc
where the money might have bee
better spent.
