' Where will you put me when 1

' In a brown study,' she. replied..'
An old bunter said ;••--•E I've known a

never knew one to grow good.' He
was alluding probably to Sir Job%

Three-fourths of the successful men
of the .day owe much -'of their prosperity
to their wife's help. The load of life is
so heavy that it takesa. team of two to
draw it. The ship not:, only wants 'a
captain, but a first mate, •
How does' it happen. tilat, ;whenever
you chance to stop out late, upon your

door creaks tentimesas couch as usual,
and the stairs go off like parks of artil=

aA woman applied for a situation re-
cently with her clothes dripping'like '4

to her condition; she said she under-

. A local editor having rbeen out. in: :the
country on a collectingtour, gloop ing-

• I will take a pilgrimage to it, ,ani by de

A bickering pair of. Qeakers: were
heard in. higha,,controvetsy, the husband
exclaiming, ' I am determined to have.
one quiet week with .thee !' ' ' But how
wilt thou get it ?' said the taunting
spouse, in that reiteration• which mar-
ried ladies so provokingly indulge in.
I will keep thee a week after thou art
dead,' was the Quaker's rejoinder.
A ludicrous instanceot punning upon
a name once took place in it judicial
court, of New •York, gis 'thus' told t
Counsel had been questioning a certain
witness named Gunn, and in closing he
said to him, ' lir. Gunn, you can now
go off.' The judge on the bench, seeing
the pun, gravely'ttclded, ' Sir, you aro
discharged" Cif course an.explosion; in
court immediately ensued,
As two friends were talking about
their' respective oldest sons, who were
rather' wild, one said t ' 1' wish we
could find some bit with which we could
pull them up short.' ' Perhaps,' re-
sponded the other, ' if we .should bridal
them, each might: be checked whoa there
was danger ofhie going too fat; by a
.
bit. of his wife's mind.
A teacher in Greenock, during the
13ible lesson, when speaking about Cain'
and Abel, asked, one of his scholars,
Where did Clain go after be killed
Abell" ' He went to his bed, sir,' was
the reply.., ' Went to bed, Where did
you get that information?' said the
teacher. ' It'& in the' chapter, sir, that.

A countr deacon went o . free
ticket to a a n a >` ee
mous 'entertainment. His
pastor remonstrated with him on the
wickedness bf hia so doing.. But he
made answer ; ' Why, you see, pastor,
-I had a deadhead ticket,. and I thought
it iiiy bounden duty Jo go and keep
somebody out of that seat 'who might
have been harmed by the circus.' The
pastor accepted the deacon's explanation
as about half satisfactory.
A. 18ty n r Story.
I have made up my mind to: lay 'be-
fore yogi: readers a queer experience. I
shall .simply tell tile. story Without at-
tempting to explain .it.
Suppe years ago, a neighbor of mine,
going home from hie store, found. his
wife dead on the kitchen floor, her
throat cut from ear. to ear. She had
been in low spirits for several weeks, and
it was at first supposed to be a suicide,
but the finding of several' indentations
in the Atilt, evidently made by a club,
Showed jt was it murder. ;.A poor pare -
lytic vagrant,' to whom t°lre‘'Woeeu had
been a generous friend, was • arrested,
convicted oil purely circumstantial evi
dense, and hanged. '
Between the sentence and the hang-
ing I oftenvisited him 'in prison, became.
convinced of his innocence, and, with
others, tried -hard to pave Mm.. One.
pay,,after it was plain that no commute:'
tion or pardon was tobe hoped for,; a
I thought catne into my mind whieh, t am
i certaia'I did ,not then or afterward 'utter ,
to • any one. It was this ; "It is wrong.
1 that this: poor, fellow should suffer a
painful death for Brine' that he could•
not have oommittdd. •I will procure a
small bottle of ' chloroform or s few
grains of strychnine and. give it to by
relatives. to be conveyed to him. Then:
he will escape this dreadful death by
hanging." The thought was but a mo-,
mentary one,dismissod with horror upon
an instant's'refection. The •man :was;
hanged, as I ;said; ,. With his last breath'
he declared his innocence.
''Some time ago I was sitting in the;
parlour .of •the Astor Nettie; N .Y.I.
notioed.a.very' elegant` Tongan of middle
age; • whom I had never •.seen before,
gazing at'ine with a. look like that of a
sleepwalker. ,T1linking she was desir-
ous of looking oiit of the window, at.
'which I was seated, 1 yes . about to
more •away, when sh.e. said :
• •" Do net let me disturb you. I silly.
canis to toll you there is :it . spirit. here,.
-that of • a man in .whom ' . You' re
member him, do you mot ? He was
executed for murder in prison." `
"I remember,"was my reply. •" What
has•heto say to me•?" '
' "Ile says'that he was innooent:of the.
'crime for which lje died, although guilty,
of other .'offences that deserved punis•
melt,,,•
"Now,"asked . I, " can the spirit re-
,peat to me any part ofour talk, to'satis-
fy me thatit:is really he ?" '
'"Do you remember;,'said the medium,
" a thought you had while in the prison?
For a.,inorent you half resolved .to. con-
vey to him enough stryohnine or chloro
form to put him out of hie missry,''
Astounded .beyond measure, ---I• rose.
front my seat, and,;'after thanking the
lady,: went. straight to the -clerk of .the
hotel. :All that he could tell; about 'her'
was that she was from. Oregon, • had ar-
rived the ni:ht .before and Was 1'-av:
on t o next Boston train.
Z am certain, I say again, that r had,,
never spoken of that impulse to man or
woman: How did she know' oriel
Half Of all .who live die before seven-
teen. Only, one person in tea 'thousand
lit es to bea hundred' years old,: and but
one hi a hundred reaches sixty.: The
married, Jive longer, than the single,
Out of every thousand persons born, on-
ly ninety-five weddings take place. TLay''
your finger ori your . pulse, and know

that at every stroke some immortal•
passes to his. Maker ;•some'felllow-being.
crosses the river of death'; and if we
think. of it, we may well wonder that it'
should be long before our. .turn
comes.
