most down to our knees, and we put
sheets over us, that came clear 10 our
feet, and when Hamlet got to yearn-
ing for his fathers ghost, came in
out Of the bathroom with the sheet
over me, and said | was the buckle
berry he was looking for, and my chum
followed me out and said he was twin
ghost, also, and then Hamlet got on
his ear and said he wouldn't play with
two ghosts, and he went Off pouting,
and then my chum and me pulled off
the sheets and danced a clog dance
Well, when the rest of the troupe saw
our make up, il nearly killed them
Most of them had seen ballet dancers,
but they never saw them with differ
ent colored socks. The minister said
this benefit was rapidly becoming ga
farce" and before we had danced half
minute ma she recognized her socks,
and she came for me with n hot box,
and made me take them off, and pa
was mad and said the dancing was the
only thing that was worth the price of
admission, and pc scolded ma, and the
choir girls sided with pa, and just then
my chum caught his toe in the carpet
and fell down, and that loosened the
plaster overhead and about bushel fell
on the crowd. Pa thought lightning
had struck the house, the minister
thought il was judgment on them all
for play acting, and he began to shed
his Hamlet costume with one hand and
pick the plaster out OF his hair with the
other. The women screamed and
tried to get the plaster out of their
necks, and while pa was brushing off
the choir singers ma said the rehearsal
was adjourned, and they all went home,
but we are going to rehearse again on
Friday night. The play cannot be
considered 4 success, but we will bring
it out all right by the time the enter
tainmcnt. is to come of"
"By gum," said the grocery man, al
would like to have seen the minister As
Hamlet. Didn't he look funny?"
"Funny! Well, should remark
He seemed to predominaie. That
is, he was too fresh, too numerous, as it
were. But At the next rehearsal am
going to work in an act from Richard
the Third, and my chum is going to
play the Chinaman of the DaniteS, and
guess We will take the cake. Say,
want to work in an idiot somewhere
How would you like to play the idiot?
You wouldn't have to rchearsc or any
thing"
At this point the bad boy was seen
to go out Of the grocery real spry,
followed by box OF wooden clothes
pins that the grocery man had thrown
after him.

MICROSCOPIC WONDERS.

Upon examining the edge OF a very
sharp lancet with microscope, it will
appear as broad as the back OF 4 knife
rough, uneven, full OF notches and fur
rows. An exceedingly small needle
resembles a rough iron bar. But the
sting OF bee, seen through the same
instrument, exhibits every where a
most beautiful polish, without the least
flaw, blcmish or inequality, and it ends
in n point too fine to be discerned.
The threads of fine lawn seem coarser
than the yarn with which ropes are
made for anchors. But silk worms
web appears perfectly smooth and shin
ing, and every where equal. The
smallest dot that can be made with a
pen, appears irregular and uneven.-
But little specks on the wings or bodies
of insects are found to be most accurately
circular. The finest miniature paint
ings appear before the microscope rug
ged and uneven entirely void Of beauty,
either in the drawing or coloring. The
most even and beautiful varnishes will
be found to be mere roughness. But
the nearer we examine the works of
God, even in the least of his produc-
tions, the more sensible shall we be of
his wisdom and power. In the num-
berless species of insects, what proper
ton, exactness, uniformity, and SYM
metry do we perceive in all organs !
what profusion OF colorIng azure,
green and vermillion, gold, silver,
pears, rubies and diamonds1 fringe and
embroidery on their bodies, wings, head
and every part how high the finishing,

THE CHIEF DANDY AT CAPE MAY.

BosfoH Globe.
The chief dandy al Cape May changes
his suits five or six times day. Early
in the morning he puts on corduroy
coat and knee breeches or knicker-
bockers, such as bicycle riders wear,
and in which he takes 4 walk. On his
return he dresses for breakfast in suit
notable for wide checks and loud yell
low. At bathing time he saunters down
to the beach in 4 pajama-that is to
say, loose sack and wide trousers
made OF light.colored stuff, girliShly
trimmed, and normally worn in ones
bedroom. His advent on the sands
in such rig astounds those who have
not become accustomed TO him, and
alarms them little, too, because they
get the idea at first that he is lunatic.
II might be expected that he would be
still more remarkable when attired for
the water, but here appears disappoint-
men,. He appears IN plain and con-
vcntional bathing suit Of loose flannel,
because he knows that his attenuated
form could not stand comparison
with those robust fellows who bathc in
scant tights. In the afternoon he ex
hibi,s himself, for lounging or driving,
in a costume of white, and in the even
ing he squeezes himself into seemingly
impossible black frock coat and dark
trousers. "The former is conceivable, "
says the writer, "if he wears corsets, as
they say he does, but how he gets his
pantaloons on is a problem. His legs
are small enough for the purpose. But
do his feet screw Off and on, or has he
discovered a way Of donnirg them
skirt fashion over his dear littlahead 2"

BAPTIzINa THE WRONG PERSON

Nn,Hy SoHfb.
BaptiSmS are Sunday morning fea.
turc at this season OF the year, and
each congregation, in succession, wit
nesses the immersion Of the converts
made during the past winter. Hymns
are sung and every one appears animal
ted by religious zeal. On one occa-
sion, SO the story goes, worthy color
ed woman, with culinary tastes, got so
interested that she unconsciously push
cd up to the minister, and he, regard
ing her as one of his fockS, seized her.
She resisted, but the minister imagined
that she was merely afraid of the cold
ness Of the water, so before she could
explain the situation he soused her.
She came up suffering, and exclaim-
ed "What you doin'? Lcmmc go, |
tell youi" But he cxcr,ed his strength,
and sent her "kcr chuck" below the
surface again. She emerged, clawing
the air wildly, and shouting: "G'way
from here ! Don't you chuck me under
ag'in, you niger" But the clergy
man was incxorablc, and he plunged
her under 4 third time, and held her
there for 4 minute, so as TO let il soak
in and do her good.
Then she came up and struck for the
shore, and, standing there, looking
like draggled mermaid cut in ebony.
She shook her fist at the astonished
pastor, and shrieked, "Oh, I'll fix you I!
I'll bust the head offer you, you or'nary
trash l-sousin' me and nearly drownin'
me, when you know'd well nough all
dc time dat Use a Methodist and bin
chris,ened by dem dA,'s your bcttcrs,
and knows more bout ligion den all

mis- able black scum and me got dc
rheumatic enough TO see me crazyl oh,
I'll see wha, dc law kin do for you
I'll hav' you rested dis very day, OF
my names not Johanna Johnson, you
woolly headed herrin' You hear me ?"
Then Johanna went home to redress,
and the ceremony proceeded. II is
asserted that Miss Johnson has since
borne testimony that the Baptists are
not any better than pagans.

SPEAKING A PIECE.

The other evening there was littl
company up on Dayton street, and dur
ing the entertainment the hostess drag
ged her little boy to the front to "speal
n piece"
"Comc, Johnny, like a good boy
and speak 'Mary's Little Lamb for tn,
ladies and gentlemen.
Johnny knew that there was remunera
ton in the background, and the pre-
liminaries having been arranged in al
undertone, she slickcd his hair and h,
commenced:
"Mary had little fleece
Its snow was white wool,
And every time that Mary lambed
That fleece would go TO school,"
"Now, now, Johnnyi" said his moth.
or, "you know that isn't right. Say it
just as you did this afternoon and I'll"
here she broke into a maternal whis-
per, and the boy commenced again:
"Mary had little lamb,
Whose white was snow as fleece,
And everywhere that Mary went
The lamb would 90 apiece"
"Johnnyi Johnnyr" chided the
mother, "that isn't right. Speak il
right this time. The ladies and gentle
men never heard it. Now go ont"
Once more the little fraud went at il {:
"Mary had little snow.
Its fleece was lined with white,
And everywhere the lamb would 90
Mary was to bite"
"What 4 naughty boy" exclaimed
the proud mother, who had been train
ing the child all the afternoon for this
display, "Now speak it right or mamma
won't kiss you when you go TO bed!"
Thus prepared, the boy perpetratcd
himself once more:
MARY had a little wool.
it, fleece was lined with snow.
And every one that Mary Areccd
The white was sure to show"
"l'm ashamed of you, Johnny, that
you don't speak i, right ! You must do
il this time, or mamma will have TO
punish you."
al WON'T" bawlcd the urchin.
But his mother promised him some
additional candies or buns, or some.
thing that had the great social advan.
tage Of lying heavily on his stomach,
and the little wretch began:
"Mary had a little school.
Its snow was fleece as lamb.
And every where that Mary went
You'd surely find that ram.
Then the guests very properly inter-
fercd, and said i, was shame to tor
mcnt the sweet child. He had done
nobly, and should have his pay right
off.
He had the candies and buns, and
his mother packed him off to bed,
while the company found solace in the
reflection that before morning ewould
probably be crying with the stomach
ache and writhing under the nightmare.
