HALF OF IT.-The other day pretty girl
at one of the tables in the charity fair offered
q bunch Of roses to gentleman.
GLOW much ?" said the gentleman, well
known sharper at the Stock Exchange.
"Four dollars" said the lady.
"Four dollarsl Good heavens, madam, I
might as well be robbed in the street. How.
ever, maybe you'll sell me half of it."
"Why, certainly" said the lady, and with
a clip of the scissors cut the roses in two and
handed him the stems.
1.-TWO dollars, if you please" she said.

SPLITTING THE D1FFERENcE.-A young
man with the blush of country life on his
cheeks sold out his produce on the market
yesterday, and entered shoe-store and said
he wanted pair of shoes for his wife.
"What number ?" asked the clerk.
The young husband scratched his head,
looked very much embarrassed, and finally
said
"Well, I've been married eight months, but
this shoe business stumps me. don't hardly
believe she wears levens, and don't think
she kin git into fves. guess if we split the
difference we'll hit her pretty close"
He was given pair of eights, and after
squirting along the soles, he observed:
Il guess themll do. She's awful proud,
and I know she'll squeeze into them for all
she's worth"

esFIFTEEN CENTS OFF,

A Detroiter, who dresses well and has a
reasonable share Of good looks, had occasion
last week to make trip to the country. and
one night he found himself at farmhouse
at which party was to come of. He was
invited to participate in the festivities, and
after he had consented, the old farmer took
him around the corner of the house and said !:
"The young folks are mighty fond Of any
game with kissing in it. They'll get up
something, and fix it to make you kiss the
handscmest gal in the room."
"Well, I'll kiss her." was the prompt reply.
"Yes, but hold on little" continued the
old man. "There's my gal, Emma. We
think she's as purity as any Of 'em, but certain
folks around here kinder sniff at her cause
her nose crooks bit and her hair is triAe
high.colored. Now, I want you to kiss EN-
for the handsomest girl in the room. It'll do
the ole woman good, do En- good, and kinder
set these ERE sniaers back little. I don't
ask you to kiss her for nothing, but, if you'll
do it, I'll throw fifteen cents off n your bill
in the morning? What dye sayT
The young man said he'd do it, and the
father continued:
"That's the checker. Don't have any
make-belieye about it, but kiss her right pop
out, SO that we kin all hear the smack"
The game was played, the Detroiter was
"fxed," and he kissed "Em" like the pop Of
pistol. He felt all the happier for it that
night, seeing how greatly the old woman was
pleased; but next forenoon as he logged
along, he had to run the gauntlet of score OF
farmers sons waiting in the fence-corners to
lick him because he passed their "gals" by
for EN-" He was struck by thirteen stones,
six clubs, and about bushel Of potatoes, be.
fore he got out of the neighborhood; and
when he came to figure up, he realized that
fifteen cents was no inducement at all.-FTee

A CANDID OP1N1oN.-An old lawyer, fa-
NOUS for his wise and candid opinions, was
the other day visited by young attorney,
who explained:
II was admitted to the bar two years ago,
and I think know something about law, yet
the minute / arise to address jury, forget
all my points and can say nothing. Now, !
want to ask you if this doesn't show lack Of
confidence. in myself, and how can over
come it ?"
The wise attorney shut his eyes and studied
the case for a moment before answering:
my young friend, if it is lack of conf
dence in yourself it will some day vanish
but if it is lack of brains you had better sell
out your Office effects and buy pick.axe and
long-handled shovel"
"But how am I to determined" anxiously
asked the young man.
"I'd buy the pick.axe anyhow and try my
chancesp' whispered the aged adviser, as ht
moved over to the peg for his overcoat.

EQUAL TO THE EMERGENcY.-General
Hardee, whose manual of infantry tactics
was in use in all the Southern armies, visited
a rural Georgia town one day during the war,
and the commander Of "home guard com.
pany sought to do himself and the General
honor by parading his command in front of
the inn in which Hardee had rooms. The
writer upon tactics came out upon the bal.
cony to review the command, and the militia
officer put his men through their PAGES. In
one of the maneuvres the men became con-
fused and got into hopeless tangle. Hardee,
in telling the story, said that he could think
of no possible way in which they might be
extricated, and waited with great curiosity to
see what the militia commander would do.
That rural tactician looked at the confused
mass for moment with scowl Of perplexity
upon his forehead; then his face cleared, and
he shouted the order:
"Disentangle to the front-march."
Whereupon the men marched forward and
formed a new line without regard to the or
der of the old one. Hardee said the com.
mand was not in his own or any other book
on tactics, but that it ought to be incorpo-
rated in them. r...

all the males were required to 60 up to Jeru'
salem, and there keep the passover. The
whole nation left their homes and went up.
In the 122nd Psalm we have the embodi-
ment of the national feeling on the annual
return of the passover. Every pious heart
was glad. The roads leading to Jerusalem,
from all quarters of the country, were crowd
ed with happy souls. singing "our feet shall
stand within thy gates, o Jerusalem For
my brethren and companions sakes, I will
now say, Peace be within thee."
To this feast, the males were required to 60
up to Jerusalem, and the females were per-
mitted. A number of passages Of Scripture
might be quoted, which prove that women
were not excluded from the privileges Of the
passover feast. See first Sam. i: and Luke
ii:41. All Jews by birth, male and female,
were guests at this annual feast, unless ex'
cluded by legal uncleanness. Strangers who
dwelt in the land were admitted when they
complied with the law. See Exodus xii :49.
This typifed the fullness and freeness of
the salvation in Jesus Christ, whom Paul calls
"our passover" In Christ Jesus there is
neither Jew nor Gentle. His blood cleanseth
from sll sin. Whosoever cometh to him shall
in no wise be cast out. The deliverance Of
the Jew was temporal, but Christ procures
freedom from sin. God, the father, poured
out the wrath which was justly due to the
sinner upon the son of his love. This is
far greater passover than that which took
place when the Destroying Angel passed over
the houses of the Israelites.

vocates of reform are discouraged by the
fear that to convene popular Council ana
accord it the right of speech at such an iniiam-
mable time as the present might lead to very
different results from those contemplated The
champions of the old system eagerly represent
that to make liberal concessions after an at
tempt on the Emperor's life would seem to be
yielding to the nihilists, and must act as an IN
centive to further atrocities. Between the ap-
prehensions of the party and the warnings
of the other constitutional designs are likely TO
fall to the ground If NJ. dc Waluicf will not
undertake the work of the Foreign Office unless
authorized to make up by administrative bcne-
fits for the postponement of aggressive schemes
it follows says the Standard, that Prince
Gortschakoff, should he be left in his post i'll
consequence of the Moscow event, will be
tempted to continue his opposite course and
will endeavor to indemnify his countrymen by
conquest for the continuance OF unmitigated
absolutism. In Europe, it is true. Russian en-
terprise is checked by the Austro- German COM
pact and the practical cooperation in those
parts between Vienna, Berlin and London
NJ. Fourier, the French Ambassador at Con-
stantinople, who the other day supported Russia
against England, upon remonstrance being
made was cautioned by his own government
against indulging in such amusements. The
more likely is Russian move in Asia if things

IRELAND AND THE POPE.

despatch from Rome says:-"The Vatican
has congratulated the Irish clergy on their atti-
tude with reference to the political agitation in
Ireland" mo little excitement has sprung from
the statement of Roman newspaper that cir
cular had been despatched to the Irish HER
archy requesting them to use their influence
with the peasantry to mitigate the agrarian
strife which was pending between landlord
and tenant. 1t appears, however, that
whatever exchange Of sentiments there
may have been between Rome and
Ireland no actual circular was addressed
to the bishops collectively on the subject. The
Pope having heard the report desired to be &C
curately informed of the state Of things in Ire
land. Archbishop McCabe, Of Dublin, was APP
piled to for such information. Sundry letters
also from distinguished persons, English and
Irish, reached the Pope, urging the powerful
influence which the Pontiffs word would have
in calming the agitation and preventing vio-
lence. Cardinal Nina thereupon wrote to Arch
bishop McCabe instructing him to convene
his suffragan bishops, to examine the situa-
ton and what measures could be
adopted for calming minds and preventing
outbreak. Moreover. an article on the subject
appeared in the Osserratorc Romano, a journal
whose sentiments generally understood to
reflect those of the Vatican pretty closely. at
is evident" said the writer, ''that the Irish
press is trying to get rid of all those Catholic
members who are too high minded to pander to
the revolution. Mr.. Parnell, instead of demand
ing, along with his Catholic colleagues, better
legislation, urges his hearers to confiscation,
and allows them in his presence to utter prayers
for assassination and armed revolt" The
Osscruatore Romano concludes with the follow
ing words:-"E Exciting harangues cannot but
produce an agrarian outbreak, which will be
severely rcpressed, and which will augment the
misery hundredfold." Other journals, having
the ear of the Vatican, asserted that the Pope
was strongly opposed to the agrarian agitation, us
we'll as to the general policy and tone of the ex-
IRENE national party in Ireland. Should the
movement assume any wider dimensions q cir
cular letter would very likely be addressed by
Leo XIII. to all the prelates of his communion
in the island, directing them to warn their fiocks
in the strongest possible terms against having
anything to do with it. The Pope had hitherto
felt reluctant to interfere in what at first sight
seemed only an endeavor to persuade the own
ers of the soil to make temporary reduction of
their rents, and which was not characterized by
communistic threats and appeals to violence.I
