He Finished Early.

An old Scotch lady who lived at a con-
siderable distance from the parish church
was in the habit Of driving over to the
service. Her coachman, when he con-
sidered the sermon was nearly at an end,
would slip out quietly for the purpose Of
having the carriage ready by the time
the service was concluded. One Sunday
John returned 70 the church. and after
hanging about tRe Goor for consider
able time grew impatient, and, popping in
his head, discovered the minister haran-
guing as hard as ever. Creeping down
the aisle towards his mistress he whis-
pered in her ear: as he no near dune

a high state Of indignation, for her pa

Hills Clever Pun.

Here is a clever pun from Rowland
Hill: When at college, Hill had con-
versation with some of his companions
on the powers Of the letter h, when it
was contendsd that it was no letter, but
a mere aspirate. Rowland took the OPP
posite side, and insisted On its being, TO
all intents and purposes, q letter, and
concluded by observing that if it were
not so, it was a very serious thing for
him, as it would occasion his being u
all the davs of his life.

State or out Of it, are deluded into
the belief that the Window Silver
Bill is a measure favorable to the
silver interests, as witness the follow
ing from Tuesdays Reno Gazette:
We are glad that Bland and Will
Hams laid before the House their
minority report on WINDOWS silver
scheme, and that they have shown
the courage to denominate the scheme
in plain language, as one intended to
elfectually demouetiZe silver. We
have never doubted it for minute.
We believe, says tho Salt Lake
Tribune, that the scheme was con-
cocted beyond the sea; we believe
we could name the date of the arrival
Of the man in New York last Autumn
who had the measure in his pocket,
and that it was meant to utterly de-
Stroy silver as money. The bill with
its fangs drawn will do as q make
shift and the bost that can be coax
ed out of a cowardly Congress, but
as to the original intention we have
not tho slightest doubt. 1t was meant
in the guise of friendship for silver to
stab it to death as money.
