1t didn' occur to the Bashful Bazouk
of South Hill, when he went to see the
only pretty girl in Burlington last
Wednesday evening, that her folks had
been cleaning house that day, and that
she was naturally little tired and fret
full. He thought for a long time for
something to say and finally remarked:

"Sir!'' she said, with a chilling in

His hair stood on end. He also rose,
picked up his glossy silk hat, put it
down in the chair, and sat down upon
it; got up and picked it up, and stared
at it; turned red and white by turns,
and felt himself growing hot all over,
and generally uncomfortable.

GEN. STEWART l.. WoODFORD pre-
sided in the General Council of the Re-
formed Episcopal Church in Newark,
yesterday, and his executive ability was
at times severely taxed to enforce par
liamentary rules. The committee APP
pointed at the General Council last year
to consider the relation of the church
and its communicates to popular amuse-
ments made a report setting forth what
the committee deemed to be the evil in
tluences of theaters, dancing, games of
chance, horse racing, etc. Attached to
the report were resolutions declaring it
to be the sense of the council that it is
the duty of parishes TO exclude from all
meetings that have the sanction of the
church, and for which it is therefore
responsible, all theatrical exhibitions,
dancing and gaming, as tending to low
er the tone of Christian purity, hinder
the growth of personal piety, and weak
en- the influence of the church in the
community; warning the communicates
against the theater, public dancing, and
like amusements, and dissuadino the
parishes of the church from adopting
frivolous and worldly modes of raising
money for church and charitable pur-
poses, as having a tendency to stifle the
Christian duty and privilege of giving,
for the promotion of the Lords work,
from simple love to Him, and paralyz-
ing Christian benevolence.
The Rev. Mr.. Sabine, of New York
city, said: 81 approve of the action of
the Committee on Amusements, and
earnestly ask this council to adopt the
resolutions appended to the committees
report. The welfare of our church de-
mands that we should legislate on the
subject of amusements.n
A layman from Philadelphia said:
" am opposed to the Rev. Mr.. Sabine's
views of the amusement question.
don't believe this council has any right
to interfere with individual liberty in
this matter. If this council adopts the
resolutions now under discussion | de-
clare that | will not be bound by its ac-
ton. The committee are recommend

Loud clapping of hands and stamp
ing of feet greeted the lay member
from Philadelphia as he sat down.

1t is disgrace to the house of God.

Mr.. Beecher said that her pupils
turned out well, Notwithstanding he
was one of them. She established
seminary in Cincinnati in 1882, and or
gained plan for supplying teachers
to the West. Gov Slade, of Vermont,
was secretary of her organization. The
ramifications and influence of the So
ciety extended throughout the Union.
She also established seminaries in the
Northwest and got them literally en-
dowed. In later years she joined the
Protestant Episcopal Church. Like her
father, she took no especial delight in
contemplating death. She was con-
cerned about this world'' and its liv-
ing. Her life shows how much can be
done by hopeful, industrious mind.
"There is not State" said MIR.
Beecher, where there are teachers
who do not look up to her. Mother
less, she became the mother of thou
sands. Her own home broken, she
made stronger other homes. l am

Josh Billings on Beer.

HAv finally cum to the conclusion
that lager-beer as beverage is not in
toXicating.
l have been told by a German who
said he had drunk it all mite long, lust
to try the experiment, and was obliged
to 90 home entirely sober in the morn
ing. have seen this same man drink
eighteen glasses, and if he was drunk
it was in German an nobody could I'M
derstand it.
1t is proper enuff to state that this
man kept lager-beer saloon, and could
have no object in stating what was not
strictly thus.
| believe him to the full extent of my
ability. l never drank but three glasses
of lager in my life, and that made my
head ontwist as tho it was hung on the
end of string, but | was told that it
was owing to my bile being out of place;
and | guess that it was so, for never
billed over wus than | did when | got
HON that mite. My wife thot l was 60
in to die, and | was afraid that /
shouldn't, for it seemed as tho every
thing | had ever eaten in my life was
coming to the surface; and l believe
that if my wife hadn't pulled off my
boots just as she did they would have
come laundering up too.
Oh, how sick wuz! fourteen years ago
and | can taste it now
never had so much eXperince in so
short time.
If any man shud tell me that lager
beer was not intoxicating, | shud be-
lieve him; but if he should tell me that
| wasn't drunk that mite, but that my
stummick was out of order, | shud ask
him to state over a few words Just how
a man felt and acted when he was set
up.
If 1 warn't drunk that mite, had
some of the most natural simtums that
a man ever had and kept sober.
In the first place it was about eighty
rods from where | drank the lager-beer
to mi house, and | was Just over two
hours on the road, and q hole busted
through each one of mi pantaloon neez,
and didn't hav any hat, and tried to
open the door by the bell-pull and hic-
cuped awfully and saw everythin in

soon and missed the chair about twelve
inches, and couldn't get up soon enuff
to take the next one that come along;
and that amt awl; my wife sed | wuz as
drunk as a beest, and, as | sed before,
began to spin up things freely.
lflager-beer is not intoxicating itused

Still | hardly think that lager-beer is
Intoxicating, for | have been told so;
and | am probably the only man living
who ever drunk eny when his liver wuz

don't want to say anything against
harmless temperance beverage, but if

"You see, Jerome said Edison to
me, after ordering his pastry triplets,
" | have a theory of eating. Variety
that is the secret of wise eating The
nations that eat the most kinds of food
are the greatest nations. They always
have been, too, and always will be.''
The waiter brought the strawberry
shortcake, the Strawberries and cream
and the apple dumpling, and arranged
them in semi-circle around his plate,
and received his negative to the laugh
ing question if there was anything
more.
AS we proceeded with our lunch, Edi-
son proceeded: 1.-The relocating ma
tions never progress; they never think
or act anything but rice, rice, rice for
ever. Look at the potato and black
bread eaters of Ireland; though natu-
rally bright, the Irish in Ireland are
enervated by the uniformity of their
food. Look at the semi-savages who
inhabit the Black Forest. On the other
hand, what is, take it all in all, the
most highly enlightened nation, the
most thrifty, graceful, cultured and ac-
coWplished? Why, France, of course,
where the cuisine has infinite variety.
When the Roman Empire was at its
height the table was a marvel of diver
sity-they fed on nightingales' tongues,
and all sorts of dainty dishes, SO when
Carthage was in her glory"
"You think, then, do you, as the
Ph9nicians are said to have taught,
that the stomach is the seat of wisdom?
Eyes. Some say l get the cart be-
fore the horse, and that the diversified
food is the result of a high civilization
rather than its cause; but l think am
right about it. A nation begins to de-
cay, philosophically and morally, as
soon as cooking is degraded from an
art into an occupation"
You try not to repeat the same
dishes?'

but | would like to live so that | could
change my diet thousand times a
