Wilbur F. Storey's Start in Life.

j Thirty-one years ago Wilbur F.
Storey, proprietor of the Chicago
Times, was Postmaster of Jackson and
editor of the Patriot. A copy of the
latter, dated Feb. 7, 1S48, and on file in
the County Clerks Office, contains the
proceedings of the annual meeting of
the County Bible Society, at which Mr..
Storey was elected Treasurer, and i'm
pliedly was esteemed as guileless man
and a Christian. And it seems also
that Mr.. Storey found time amid his
pressing official duties in the postoffice
to handle brands of candles which pos
sessed his perfect confidence, since he
did not scruple to honor them with his
warrant. Here is a copy of his adver-
tisement:

How to Get a Lover.

In Lancashire, if an inquirer wishes
to know the abode Of lover, an apple
pippin is taken between the thumb and
finger, and, while moving round,
squeezed out. when il is supposed to fly
in the direction of the lovers house.
These words are said at the same time:
Pippin pippin, paradise,
Ted me where my trae love lies;
East. west. north or south.

Halliwell, in his Popular Rhymes"
(1S49), says that girls formerly prac-
ticed dlvination with "St. Thomas
onion" which they peeled, wrapped in
a clean handkerchief, and laid under
their heads, saying the following
rhyme: f....
Good st. Thomas, do me right,
And see my true love come tonight,
That may see MIN in the face,
And him in kind arms mbrace.
In Shropshire, to find ones future
partner the blade-bone of a lamb must
be procured, which is to be pricked at
midnight with penknife, and these
words repeated: e....
lis not this bone wish to pick
But my loves heart wish to prick;
- II becomes not and speaks tonight
I'll prick and prick till it be light.
In Derbyshire they have a method
which it would take bold heart to
perform; the young woman, to find out
her future husband, runs round the
church at midnight, as the clock strikes
IL, repeating the following: 5''

lieved to follow her.

For month or more the Rev. Mr.
farrell, Of the Baptist church, and Rev.
Mr. Rodorborough, OF the Methodist
church, have been maintaining q very
acrimonious discussion Of creeds through
the columns Of the Pinckneyville Demo
crat. In the last issue of the paper, how
ever, Rev. FARRELL refuses to debate further
with the Methodist man, because the NJ. Z.
church has not endorsed him as its disputa-
tory champion. The Methodist man, in
turn, refuses TO continue the discussion,
because the Baptist man is not gentleman.
And TO such an end such controversies
usually come. Both disputants became
bitter, vindictive and personal. The
Methodist church was held up as a Goddess
affair that placed every possible obstacle in
the way Of the independence Of the Amer
lean colonies; while the Baptist church wa,
s,igmatized as a clog to the advance O
civilization, and its tenets as entirely out
keeping with the spirit of the age. The
