The Partrsat Cant, Hard,'s

Wednesday night week party was giver
at Capt. Hardy's, "such as We sometime
read of but seldom witness" A very large
crowd was assembled in the spacious par
lor at a reasonable hour, and the many
bright faces there beamed with happiness
which leigned supreme. Miss Bette l1ar-
dy was Mistress of cermony and she man
aged things in such a ceremonious-uncer-
emonious manner MS TO make every one fee
that all were welco ne. After an hours
conversation had been INDUCED in, the
strains of sweet muslc were heard to issue
| forth from violin and flute. much to the
qualification of the Terpsichorian lovers.
At the proper time refreshments were pass
ed around, and for long while the young
ladies and gentlemen amused themselve'
throwing ':kisses." The crowd dispersed
| at about twelve o'clock, and we would say
| by way of conclusion, that If each one had
az pleasant q time throughout the evening
as the writer did, all were about as happy
as mortals get on this earth.

What lie Knows Ab0ut Church Etiquette


We have devoted mach time and ats
tentlon to the important subject Of church
etiquette, and the result Of our media
ton and study we present below. We
trust every church>going individual will
carefully read and remember the following
rules:
First Before you enter the church,
stand at the door and gap and joke at the
ladies who enter They will, Of course.
feel much hattered by yonr attention.
Second When you enter do not fail to
slam the door; and when you proceed TO
your seat do it noisily, az If You were
worth half a million. This will cause the
congregation to believe that YOU are an
important parsonage, and they will stare at
you to your hearts content.
Third. Always enter late; BY doirg this
YOU will have the pleasure of interrupting
the pastor in his remarks, and cause the
attention of the congregation to be directed
toward yourself, The pastor will appre-
ciate your benevolent action, for he will
need rest.
Fourth When you sit down be sure to
make every one on the same seat move.
They will have become weary of sitting IN
one position SO long, and will be glad Of
the exercise.
Fifth. Do not give up you seat to a
stranger. He can examine the church to
better advantage while standing
Sixth. Be sure to spit tobacco juice all
over the floor; if there is carpet on the
floor spit still more. The man who does
not spit upon the floor during service is
looked upon. as being a second class sort
of person.
Seventh. If you should chance to OBJ,
serve friend in church, whisper londIy to
him across the aisle. # will also be well
to smile and laugh aloud, occasionally
Eighth. Do not fali to go out OF the
church three or four times during the SER
vice. Never go out less than three times.
Ninth. When you become weary of the
sermon, lie down upon the seat and place
your feet upon it.
Tenth. Always take along little fruit,
nuts, ETC., to eat during prayer.
Eleventh. When the contribution box
is handed around, never put more than
three cents INTO it-you need the money as
badly as the heathens.
Twelfth When you leave the church go
like race horse. Tread upon the trails
OF as many dresses as possible, and if the
opportunity presents isself, you might
tread upon the toes of several ladies and
gentlemen.
