HumOrsOme Waits.

A WESTERN editor alluded to his rival as
" A fellow who represents seventeen distinct
kinds of born fool"
"SoLDIRRs must be fearfully dishonest"
says Mrs. Partington, " it seems to be an oc-
currence every night for sentry to be re-
lieved of his watch"
LADY passes on horseback. A French
man exclaims "What magnificent
angel" An Englishman cries out "My
h'eys, what superb 'orsel" An American
calculates: That's peeler of a saddle"
A PROMINENT Democratic congressman
took his daughter to task the other evening
because she permitted her lover to stay a
while after ten o'clock. "La, pa" said
she, "we were only holding little extra
session"
SOME queer, crooked things were dug up
in the treasury yard at Washington the other
day and now they don't know whether
they are petrifed signatures of ex-Treasurer
Spinner that fell out the window, or a lot
Of old sofa-springs.
WHEN a man comes up TO us and men
tions "that little bill" we reply; "Oh yes.
We should have fixed that some time ago
but had to 90 to Memphis to write up the
scourge. Just got back to-day. Come down
to the office, and we'll give you the money.
It's in our trayeling-bag.' Aud he says he's
got to run to catch a atrain.-Erchange.
"BuB, did you ever stop to think" said
grocer recently, as he measured out peck
OF potatoes, that these potatoes contain
sugar, water aud starch 7" Noa, didn't"
replied the boy, {" but heard mother say
you put peas and beans in your coffee and
about pint of water in every quart of
milk you sold" The subject OF natural
philosophy was dropped right there.
A SMALL boy was hoeing corn in sterile
field by the roadside, up near Bethel, In
diana, when passer-by stopped and said
"'Pears to me your corn is rather small"
" Certainly" said the boy. at is dwarf
corn" "But it looks yaller.' " Certainly.
We planted the yaller kind" "Bat it looks
as ii you wouldn't get more than half

"IT must be beautiful, dreamy sort OF
life that you live here in the country" was
the remark OF city boarder to Farmer
Robinson, as he sat in the shade waiting for
his dinner. Well, not very" was the reply.
You see, we get up before daylight and
work till after dark, and get so used up and
tired that we sleep right through soundly.
Why, l haven't had respectable sort Of

Graceful Speech.

The value, to young lady, of copious,
elegant and expressive vocabulary, can
hardly be over-estimated. Were she never
to use the pen in epistolary or rhetorical
composition, the beauty and charm of cult
vated conversation would be power that
would add to her influence more than all the
jewels ever worn. Add to this the fact that
woman's tongue is her chief weapon-next
to her eyes, at least-in appeal and menace,
in raillery and scorn, in love and guidance,
in song and prayer, what is there to equal
woman's speech While nature does much,
reading and writing do more in cultivating
huency and felicity of speech. Read the
best English, and avoid the cheap and sensa-
tional literature of the day. Avoid vulgar
ity and slang in conversation. Use the same
care in purity of language while talking fa-
miliarly in private that Is taken in public
speech. But the best training is heart
training. Here, as in oratory, it is out of
the abundance of the heart that the mouth
speaketh. If the law of kindness is within
the heart there will be milk and honey on
the tongue."-Presbyerian.

Gods Witnesses.

An Eastern fable says that a priest was
challenged to prove Gods existence by per-
forming miracle. The priest put kernel
into vessel filled with earth, bidding his
challenger to watch it closely. By-and-by a
green shoot appeared, then a stem, and
leaves and branches and blossoms, until an
Immense area was covered, and rich ripe
fruit succeeded the blossoms. All this was
done within an hour, and the amazed OBJ
server exclaimed; snow l know there is a
God, for | have seen his power" The
priest smiled in reply, and said Simple
child, do you only now believe Does not
what you have just seen take place in in.

The Flash Of a Gem.

An American travelling by himself in the
Holy Land was taken i'll of malarial fever
at Jerusalem. As he lay on his lonely
couch, nearly hopeless OF recovery, stranger
called to see him, and was admitted. With
out giving his name, he proposed reading a
passage from the Scriptures. He selected a
short, beautiful Psalm, and having finished
the reading, retired in the same quiet way
he had entered. But the effect on the
sufferer was powerful. Light broke through
the gloom; and there arose in his soul a
calm trust in Israel's Keeper. From that
time the force of his disease abated, and his
restoration was finally complete. The Psalm
chosen by the unknown visitor was the one
hundred and twenty-first, and the name Of
the traveller, DR.. Joseph A. Seiss, Lutheran
minister of ladelphia.-Sarah Gould.

la some parts OF Scotland, in former
times, the plows used TO be drawn by
four horses abreast, and required the at
tendance of three men. The business
of one man was to drive. For that
purpose he placed himself between the
middle horses, with his face toward the
pillow, to guide It straight, and in this
position he stepped backward with the
Ieins in his hand. Another walked be-
hind the hofses with clicked staff,
which he fastened In front of the beam,
and, by means of it regulated the depth
of the furroW, by raising or lowering the
plow, as occasion required. The plows
man followed, with hold of the stills !;
