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.

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.
