MR.. SARsAPER,S BLACK EYE.

Mr.. Sarsaper surprised and astounded his
family by walking into the parlor Thursday
evening with an immense portico over one
eye, and his clothing bearing unmistakable
evidence that he had been quite recently re.
clining on the damp cobble-stones without so
much as newspaper under him.
His wife sprang up as he entered the door,
gave him look that reached from his head
to his toes, planted her hands de6antly on her
hips, and remarked in tone that she keeps
handy for his own special benefit:
"Well, you are nice-looking object, must
say. Mud from head to foot, one coat-tail
torn most off, hat all banged to smash, and
face like butcher-shop. Daniel, you are
certainly the awkwardest man I ever saw.
What makes you 60 stumbling along without
looking what you're up to? Won't you ever
learn to get off street.car without lighting
on your head2 Do you think I've got moth
ing else to do but make salve and mend your
clothes? Why can't you learn to be little
careful, or else wait till they stop the car
But, no-you won't do it, of course, and you
will keep right on till some day you'll break
your neck, and you'll be sure to do it right
when I'm the busiest"
The street-car didn't have anything 10 90
with it, my dear" protested Mr.. sarssper,
timidly, nursing the lump over his eye; "you
see THAT is, as"
Eyes, yes-to be sure I do," broke in his
wife. "Shambling along as usual, and never
once noticed that the Hendersons were get
ting in coal, and so you had to 60 and tumble
head over heels down the cellar. | know it
as we'll as if had been standing on the door
step and seen it with my own eyes. When
will you ever learn to look where you are
going?"
"No-no, my dear, it wasn't that. I didn't
come that way, but if you'll only havea little
patience, III tell you all"
"Have patience! Daniel Sarsaper, how
much longer do you expect me to have pa.
tience? How long has it been since you came
limping home with sprained foot, and kept
me awake most all night with your groaniug
and pitching around? You don't mean to
stand there and tell me you fell over that
darkey Sans wheelbarrow again, do you !"
20, no, my dear, L" .:...
"Well, what? How'd you come by that
black eyer Tell me that"

Do You DIEr.-"Do you diet much this
warm weather." asked friend of old Fuz-
buz, as he took off his hat and mopped his
brow, the other day.
I'D ye it! Dye it answered Fuzbuz, run
ming, his hand through his hair, and looking
at his fingers; "what do you mean, sir?
"Why, you look good and hearty, and as
for color"
"Color, color! What is it to you sir,
whether dye my hair or not? Hang it, sir
if I had such an infernal-looking red head
as you have got, would dye it sky blue"
Look here old Fuzzy, what in thunder
are you talking about? asked you if you
dieted, seeing that you were complaining of
dyspepsia the other day, and you begin to
rave about hair-dye"
"Dye! Diet! Oh! All, I see, didn't under
stand.
"But I do, and find that in your case one
must never say dye"

another; but, when l lost my horse, no one

THE BIBLE AS LoGIC.-One of the second
ary benefits resulting from Bible study is that
it promotes intellectual strength. Close BIZ
ble students seldom fail of becoming deep and
vigorous thinkers. One reason why this is so,
is that the Scriptures direct mans thoughts
to things that are vast and solemn and mo-
mentous and such things, if often presented
and often pondered, tend to enlarge the minds
capacity and strength. And there are parts
o; the Bible which demand close application
III order to comprehend their full meaning,
and the readers mind is invigorated by the
ex srcise it has to submit to. There are argu-
mentative processes in some of Paups Ell pis-
ties, which no reader can master without
study and labor; and some other portions of
Scripture must he read with close attention to
be fully understood. Readers who are averse
to mental exertion may deem this fault, but
it should be regarded az an excellence. Large
parts of the Bible, are easy Of comprehension,
and the way of salvation is made so plain
that child need not mistake it; and yet as
whole, the Bible is book that demands appli-
cation and careful study. Is this blemish ?
Let those answer who, on searching the Scrip
lures, with frequency and care, have won
dered, perhaps, at finding what strong think:
ers they were fast becoming. A well studied
Bible will, it is believed, as efectually sharp.

HOW JOE LOST HIS BET.

An old fellow named Joe Poole, very &C.
centric, and an incorrigible sufferer, was
constant lounger-in at tavern in Water
ford, Maine.
One day traveller from distant part Of
the State arrived at the tavern, and was met
by an old acquaintance, resident of the
town. After some conversation on different
topics the traveller was addressed as follows
"By the way, Brown, look out for our old
friend Joe Poole tonight. You will know
him quick enough by his suffering. He will
be sure to come and offer to bet that you've
not got whole shirt to your back. If you
take him up, you will surely lose by trick
he's got. He invariably offers to lay this
wager, and always wins
"Very we'll" said the traveller, "I will not
let him get ahead of me. Much obliged for
the caution"
The evening arrived and large crowd was
collected in the bar room. Our friends were
there, and old Joe Poole was present and in his
element.
II tell you wh.wbat. You are nicely
dressed but I'll bet you ten to one you haven't
got whole shirt TO your back"
"I'll take the bet," said the stranger.
"Put the money in the landlords hands" :"
This being done, the traveller pulled off
his coat, and was about following suit with
his vest, when old Joe cried out:
"Ho.hohold.on! You've lost. Ha-half
your shirt is in fr-front, and the other half is
on your ba. back"
There was a roar of laughter, but the new
conner did not mind it, but pulled off his vest,
too, and quietly turning to Joe, displayed to
his astonished gaze shirt neatly folded and
placed under his suspenders.
Of course the laugh was turned upon Poole
who acknowledged that he had lost the'wager.
A BUTTER JoKE.-Mr. Atkinson is far
mer, and very fond of joke. Recently he
he is on terms of intimacy, as follows 81 will
send you the finest butter next week you ev-
er saw. The first lot will weigh about sixty
pounds. Will divide proceeds of sale with
you" Encouraged by the liberal terms of
the offer, the firm advertised extensively that
they were prepared to fill orders for dairymen
and produce merchants for the finest butter
ever sent to market. At the appointed time
the consignment failed to arrive, so the mer-
chants telegraphed up to Mr.. Atkinson, and
received the reply that the butter would be
down by the first train the next morning.
The butter arrived as promised, but was in the
form Of ferocious goat of enormous size, who
was no sooner liberated from the crate than
he commenced career of the most unbridled
vilainy ever witnessed. He knocked the
senior partner into the corner, and butted
three of his ribs out the junior partner took
refuge on the top of some bales of wool, but
the goat jumped after him and butted him off
on to the floor, and probed him with his
horns until he was nsensble. After knock
ing things about generally, so that each mem
Der of the firm looked as if he had been invi-
ted to first. class massacre, he wound up by
determined assault upon threshing ma
chine This "6rst-class butter" was at last
caught with rope and sent to the village
pound.

na- The great Bonanza Mines that have
played SO stirring part in recent California
history seem entirely exhausted and about to
vanish from the scene, Notwithstanding the te
nacity with which their leading owners try to
keep up the belief that there is still paying
ore in them. The Sutro tunne, that has just
been completed at enormous expense, after
years of labor. looks like a wasted achieve
ment. Shares in the California mine, that at
one time were worth in the market nearly
thousand dollars each, have fallen to nine
dollars and an eighth, and Consolidated Vir-
gnia, that was nearly as valuable, to eight
dollars and a quarter. Many have grown
rich through these mines, but thousands have
been beggared by them. Their wealth has
been curse and not blessing to California.

THE DANGER OF FALSE SECURITY.
You know how desperate was the struggle
before the last fight. do not come now to
lull you into false security. do not say to
you that you have everything your own way,
and have but to nominate your candidates. l
say that l believe this campaign is .traught
with almost equal danger as the last We had
then an open fight to make. We had an or
ganized and disciplined foe to encounter in the
field We knew just what we had to expect,
and every man worked as though the destiny
of the State depended upon his own individ-
ual resources. All this is changed. My
opinion is that the Republican Convention did
not nominate a State ticket last week because
they knew that if they did we would have
every man in the State rallying to our stan
dard, and we would gain victory grander
than the last.
TIE RADICAL CONVENTION.
Not ..aving the manliness to endorse the
administration of the last two years-though
many of them had been sent to Columbia
with instructions to do so, and though many
had told me they desired to do-they have
endeavored to make political capital for the
Northern Radicals by enunciating platform
as false as false can be. They charge that
they have not put ticket in the field, because
they could not do that without personal dan
ger, and they passed that resolution in the
capitol of South Carolina, within hearing
of the Executive of the State, and when
they had entire control of the State'House,
placed in their hands by the Democracy of
South Carolina for the purpose of making
such nominations They did not place a
ticket in the field because they knew it would
meet with certain defeat; and | warn you
now that this course has been pursed Gas l
