MOSSES 1'110U AN OLD MANSE. Tho minister's wife had just finished her chores, By calling on all the ohuroll people ; And some she found open as both the church doors, And some she found stiff as the steeple, For while all the deacons had slept on the wall A eommittce had come like a lion ; And by giviug her huobauct a generous call, lead shaken the bulwarks of Zion. For years they hurl paved him who taught them 1110 \Vord, About six hundred (11111Lrs or seven ; Fur they felt that a preacher should "trust in the Lord " And grow fat on the "manna from heaven." And so the cash question bad come to nllllny ; Which with so many ministers rankles ; For the Lord had sent children ; three girls and a boy, And the boy—hollow down to his ankles. Sister Blodgett, the wife of a "pillar," had cried, (They supported a carriage and Lorries.) "Beware ! lust 700 sin against God," elle 110,1 signed : ',A rolling gene gathers no mosses." The preacher looked up from the book which he read, And his merry eyes twinkled with laugh- ter, "Why didn't you tell sister Blodgett," he Raid, "That moss isn't whet we are after." litJHREU A0,11)04')' i1lil {ylhh. A most ludicrous scene transpired in a place not a thousand miles from the city of Louisville one night the other week, and though a little annoying to the parties concerned \vas just so innocent acid funny that we cannot refrain from giving the general outlines. Two upright• l,y and beautiful young ladies were visit- ing their cousin, another sprightly end beautiful young lady, who like her guests ,vas of that happy age that turns everything into fun and merriment. They were fond of practical jokes and were constantly playing pranks on each other. All three 000000E1 a room on the ground door and cuddled up together in one bed. Two of the young ladies attended a party on the night fu question and did not got home till 11:30 p. m. As it was ' bite they couoi11decl not to disturb the household so they quietly stepped into their room through the low, open wit• low. 1 ,1 In about half a 1 ,oar after the bad loft for the party a young Methodistymin- ister nailed at the hoose where they were staying and craved a night's lodging, which of course was granted. As min- isters always have the best of everything, the old lady pelt 111111 to sleep 111 the best room, and the young lady who had not gond to the party was iit1ttsted \vith the duty of sitting up for the absent ones and of informing thew of the (Mange of rooms, She Look tip her post in the parlor ane as the night rens sultry sloop overcame her and she deputed to tho lance of dreame.

By the dim light of tiro moon beanie, as they struggled through the eurt,1ine, the young ladies were enabled to descry the outlines of Fanny (as they supposed) eus0onoe(1 in the middle of the bed. They saw more -- to wit, apltir of boots. The truth 11aoh. ed upon them at oneo. They saw it all. Fenny had set the boots in the room to give thele a good scare. They put thole heads together and determined to turn the trainee on her.

The noise of the proceedings awoke the old lady who was sleeping in an adjoin. ing room, Sheoomggrohended the sitaa. tion ab once and rustling to the door she opened it and exoleimod : "Gracious, gide, it is a man—it fs a man 011re enough i" I 00r8am, a Clash of int10lin through 3.b door aid all was oVer, The boat of the john was 111116 111,) nein• Igor took the whole thing in earnest ilo would listen to no apologies the oh lady 11o(1d make for the girls.

A funny postmaster recently sent to the Post Office Department it new set of Post Office rules. They were : A pair et onions will go for two scents. Ink bottles must bo oorkod when sent by mail. • It is unsafe to mail apple or fruit trees with the fruit on them. As all postmasters are expert linguists the address may he written Chinese or Choctaw. Persons are compelled to look their own stamps and envelopes ; the poet. master cannot be compelled to do this. Persons are earnestly requested not to send postal cards with money orders in. closed, as large sums are lost in that way. John Smith gets his mail from 374,270 post ofiicee, hence a letter addressed to John Smith, United States, will reach him, Docks cannot be sent through the mail when alive. The duaokiug would disturb the slumbers of the olerhs on the posts! cars. It is earnestly requested that lovers writi(g to their girls will please confine their gushing rhapsodies to the inside of the envelope. Nitro glycerine nue( be forwarded at risk of the Bonder. It it ohoa!d blow up the postmaster's hand he cannot be held responsible. When Watches ars sent through the mail, if the sender will put a notice on the outside, the postmasters will wind and keep in running order. When you send it money order in a loiter, always write foil and explicit directions in the some letter, so that any person getting the letter can draw the looney. When letters are reoeivel bearing no direction the persons for whole they are intended will please signify the fact to postmaster that they may at once be for. warded. Tho placing of stamps upside down ou letters is prohibited. Several post. lnaeters have recently been seriously in• jure<i while trying to stand on their heads to 01Ln0e1 stamps placed in this manner. In a Norfolk, Va., police court a colored boy was about to receive sentence for some petty crime, says a correspondent. It was evidently his first offence, enol he was not familiar with oocrt usages. When the judge asked the usual question before pronouncing sentence, he varied the form a little --carelessly, or perhaps as n relief to Its monotony. "Well, sir," have you anything you can say ?" "Yes, sir," said the frightened boy. "You have ?"--rho ease 11,1,1 been very clear against the prisoner. "Speak up, then, and let us hear it." To the amazement of judge, lawyers, and loungers, the little follow began : The boy stood on tho 111u'uinq deals, Whence all but ho had tied. So keen was the ltppraciation of the lucliorous in the listeners that the poem Witseompleted without intorruption. lie Loved That Whistle No. Going to Spriug0eld, the other day, there was seated in the oar one oE Hol - yoke's legal lights, accompanied by his wife and six-year-01cl son and heir, whose solo ambition in life at present is to learn to whistle. The window was open, and the boy had been holding on to his hat with one hand for fear it would blow away. The conductor coming in slam• mad the door, and for an instant the boy let go his hat. His father roaehecl round through the window and whisked it off his lead. The boy was disconsolate. "Look etr11ight ahead and whistle for it and it will come back," said the father. "I can't whistle, I'm too mad." "Well, then, I'll try ;" and the diger. Red lawyer whistled a few bars of Annie Rooney, and shortly afterward placed the boy's het on his head, whose tears were now turned to seniles. Then he stood up in his seat and snatchedhds father's new $8 tile from hie head, deliberately threw it out of the oar window, saying, "Whis- tle for it again, papa." 013115 OF '1'110011101'. A laugh 10 worth a1 hundred groans in any market. The jest which is expected is always destroyed. Behavior is a 11110100 in which every- one displays his image. A handsome woman is a jewel ; a good woman is a treasure. Never was a voice of conscience ennead without retribution, The 0u010t el making one's self tire- some is not to know whoa 10 stop. What is defeat? Nothing but edu- cation ; nothing but the first step to 0omethiug better. The talent of success is nothing more than doing W11111 yon can de well without a thought of fame. Next to kuowing when to s0ize an op- portunity, 1110 most im1101ta01 thing lu life is to know when to forego an advan- tage. Tho darkest hoar its the history of any young elan is when he sits down to study flow to get money without honestly earn. ing it. There is not so nllteh evidence that Milton wrote "Paradise Lost" or that Shakespeare wrote "Hamlet" or that Sir Walter Scott wrote "Marniton" 00 that Tennyson wrote "The Charge o) the Light Brigade" as that the Loud God Almighty wrote the Bible.—[Rev.
