-AIMorrisbank youth kissed : his
sweetheart, about forteetimes straight on,
and when he stopped the tears carne into

voice, "Ale, Jim ! I fear you have ceased

Jim, ''at I must breathe."
—A tailor's youth and a pretty girl sat
facing each other at a party. The youth,
smitten with the charm of the maiden,
only ventured a shy look, and now and
then touched Katie's feet under the table.
The girl determined to make the youth
express what he so warmly felt, bore
with these advances a little while in si•
Ience, when she cried out, " Look here,
Robby !; if you love me,aay so, but don't
dirty my stockings !"
--When a Clinton man indulges in the

got morethan a dollar and a half." Then
she ruses out with her mouth full of
pins, and finishes sticking on the ribbons
as she sails through the suburbs.
—A litinberman being . but poorly pro-

by the host to be carefully remov-

—A clergyman, visiting in the parish of

A Midnight Adventure.
The Other night, about half -past twelve
old, Major Thorndike was €i*akened by a
tremendous rapping at his front door.
Now 'the Major, although he holds a
military commission, is apt to be a trifle
timid in the night time ; so he awakened
his better half to have the' benefit of her
judgment in the matter.
" SVh'{at appears to be the trouble ?"
inquired the old lady.
Trouble enough," replied the Major;
"somebody is rapping at our front door
as though the house was on fire, and you
had, and you had better get up and see
to 'em. "f
" Geti up yourself, you pusillianimous
old coward," exclaimed his affectionate
spouse. I
" What kind of a head of a family do
you call; yourself, any way ?"
Now, Mrs. Thorndike," gently re-
utonstrad the Major, "do be reasonable
about t is ; you know very well that if
there is a murderer or a burglar at the
door, be wouldn't be " mean enough to
harm. an unprotected creature. Go down,
Martha Jane ; go down and appeal to his
better feelings,
I'll appeal to your bald head with a
loot-jaca, if you don't start in just about
fifteen seconds, you dilapidated old idi-
ot," suggested the chosen of his beast
jumped out of bed and lighted a as she
match
Major Thorndike hadresidecl with Mar-
tha Jane for twenty-seven years, and he
well understood the peculiarities of her
disposition.
"Well, well, wife," said. he, " I'll go
down, but you had better go with me, for
perhaps some of the neighbors are sick,
or some hing."
Ali t is tune the pounding and kicking
and thu aping at the front door had not
ceased for one instant. I
It seemed as though Bedlam had brok-
en
rok
en loose and the hair on Major Thorn -
dike's head stood up till the string of his
reel flannel night-cap quivered like aspen
leaves,
He ,Gasped the trusty sword with
which h had marshalled his battalions to
victory ,n many a valiant sham fight, and
' with a ace as pallid as clay he whis-
pered
" Come, Martha Jane, and let us seek
this clanger orfs foe."
"Oh, you bad better go to bed and
have another nap, you weather-beaten,
old satin' hen," remarked his wife, 4'and
1,11 go alone." • f
But the Major considered his hotior at
stake, arid down they went to %ether.
The military chieftain, with his sword
at "ilio ilder arzn,'tled the way, and the
old lady with akerosene lamp in one
hand and a bootjack in the other, brought
up the rear.
And still the rapping and kicking at
the outside door contitiuecl. G
Down the back stairs and through the
long entry that melancholy procession
slowly pissed.
Arriv 4 at the door, the commander-in-
chief fail tly ejeeulated "Halt !" and then
to the d'sturber on the otside he war -
filed ; ' Who's there ?"
`' It's me ; let me in. •
•
" Who in thunder is rue ?" said the
Major, his courage rising tis he thought
he recognized' the voice.
" It is Deacon Blaisdell, your next door
neighbor, 'replied the man en the outside,
" and I want to come in;"
Slowly and cautiously they unfastened
the door, and Mrs. Thoi4ndike, whose
costume was somewhat inadequate, set
the kerosene lamp on tye floor, and grace-
fully retired behind a hat -rack.
The Deacon entered: Under his arm
he held a mammoth copy of : %i'elieter's
Unabridged, and his hands were full of
spelling -books, primers and dictionaries.
What are you prowling round here
for at this time of night ?" shouted the
Afajor, in wrathful tones. The Deacon
was a small -sized specimen of humanity,
and the Major was beginning to feel cour-
ageous
"Major," said the Deacon, I've got
seven words here to spell ;that no mortal
man in town bas yet been ableto spell.
Squire Tewksbury can't do it, nor Lawyer
Wheeler, nor Schoolmaster Jones ;: and
I've just come from Parson Ferguson's,
and he had to give them all up. Now, 1
want to have you try. The first on the
list is Palo-rii ti-glorimels-neee Spell that
if you -can."
The valiant Major laid aside his pon-
derous sword and fastened liis nightcap
firmer to his head a he gave the Web•
ster's Unabridged a kick that sent it fly-
ing half way across the streete and the
ait!vas filled with the spelling -hooks and
primers. -
" I'll give you a spell that'll keep you
quiet for a month," said he ; and with
one hand slued the trembling Deacon by
thecoat collar, while the other affection-
ately grasped hien by the pantalpons.
"I'll teach you to come prowling reund
here at midnight with your silent letters
and your diphthongs and yot#r triph-
thongs; I'll give you the worst Spell you
ever had."
And he gently carried theDeaeon out
of the dour, through the front Yard, and
into -the street, where, he carefully de
posited him in a mud -hole about twelve
inches deep. -
The Deacon floundered, and kieked, and
'strove, and spattered, but the Major, af-
ter leaving his burden, stalked, majesti-
cally back, td the house with I bis Igar-
ments fluttering in the breeze, while rs.
Thorndike stood in the doorway; pro dly
waiving the kerosene lamp over leer ead
and shouting aloud, " The next word on
the list is Arn•phi-bi-ous•ness !' Deacon
Blaisdell, it's your turn to spell 'i"—. an-
bury .Netts.

The Pulse.
Every person should know haw to ass
certain the state of the pulse in health
then by comparing it with w at it is
when he is aging, he may have Some idea
of the urgency of his case. ' Parents should
know th ' healthy pulse of each hild—as
now and then a person is born v ith it pe-
culiarly slow or fast pulse, and the very-
case
erycase in hand may be of that pe uliarity.
An infant's pulse is 140 ; a chil of sev-
en about 80 ; and from 20 to 6 year's it
is 70 beats a minute, declining to 60 at
four score. A healthful grown person's
pulse beats 70 times iu a minute ; there
may be good health down to 60 ; bjit if
the pulse exceeds 70 there is a disease
the machine is working itself oat ; there
is a fever orinflammation somewhere, and
the body is feeding on itself, as in con-
sumption, when the pulse is quick, that
is, over 70, gradually increasing, with de
creased chances of cure,. until it reaches
110 or 120, when death comes before
many days. When the pnlse is over 70
for months, there is a slight cough, he
lungs are affected. The pulse decreases
when a recumbent position is assumed
for any length of time, and is increased by
exercise, stimulants, and the prdi ince of
food in the stomach. ; !

A Strange Incident.
During a thunder storm which passed
over Aberdeenshire recently a most sing-
ular occurrance happened at Mr. Milne's
Mill, of Allathau. The watch dog, who
on all occasions -seems to have had a
terror of thunder, was unchained and
taken into the house. He lay down be-
fore the fire in the kitchen, his breast
resting on the dust pan, and one of the
servants sitting on a chair partly cover-
ing him with her dress. Mrs; Milne was
also within a yard of them. When, after
a very vivid lightning flash and loud
peal of thunder, Mrs. Milfie and the; ser-
vant rose, they found the dog quite dead,
lying stiff, &nd his tongue ranging out.
On dissectiiig him it was found that he
had been struck on the shoulder which
was resting on the dust pan. The light-
ning had also passed into the drawing•
room, entering - by the bell -pull, going
along the wall, loosening the plaster, and
ultimately passing out by the roof, dis-
placing a great many slates and leaving a
large; opening. A very singular thing in
connection with the dog was that he was
actually under sentence of death, and
was to have,boen shot on the morrow,
being rather dangerous, and having a
tendency to snap ; but being .a very val-
uable and favorite animal he bad been
respited for some time.
A Pass to Hades.
_Thereis a newspapermanin the eastern
part of Michigan who is being bantered
as the champion railroad pass beggar.
"Passing" him by, we want to tell a little
story about an old acquaintance who once
published a paper on the line of the De
troit and Milwaukee road. He was a:
mighty poor compositor to begin with,;
and the first issue of his paper was a sight
to see.' He had borrowed nld stereotypes
of bitters and buchu to fill up with, and,
his " salutory," as he called it, contained
about 200 typographical errors and half
that number of grammatical blunders.
But it was a foundation, and he went to
receiving subscriptions and ';sending for
railroad passes. He went for superin-
tendents until he had a pas over every
road in the State ; but theise were not
enough. He sent abroad, and finally ad-
dressed- the superintendent of an Ohio
road, No answer. The editor wrote
again. No answer. He wrote a third
letter, and answer came back. " Go to
li ." The editor turned the letter over
and wrote " Send me a pass on Our road
and I will," The pass came and he ware
made happy.
—Agriculture is conducted in. Califor-
nia, like everything else, on a gigantic
scale. A Sacramento paper - gig+es an ac-
count of a single farm at Jacinto, owned
by -Dr. H. J. Glenn, from which 600,000
bushels of wheat were harvested the; past
season. This is sufficient to load eigh-
teen 1;000 -ton ships or 300 canal boats.
The Doctor runs ninety gang plows and
a dozen threshers, and employs a large
number of men. His farming is not con-
fined to wheat, as he markets $100.000
worth of stock annually. He is a Vir-
ginian by birth. All the (letdls of his
immense business he attends to per-
sonally.
