Conv on on a seasidehotel varan, between a young man and an elderly guest : Youag Man—"I mast have seen yon somewhere, sir ?" Elder- ly . Gnaet—•-"Very likely; I am a pawnbrbker," —"A perfect jam is made of plum, and yet a pe,-feot jamb is never made out of plump." "Think of it," says the emigrant Gaul, "and yet Frenchmen are expOeted to write good English just the same." - - --"You are on the wrong tack," said the pilot's wife. when the hardy son of the loud sounding sea sat down on it and arose with the usual exolama- tions. "No" he replied, after oritioal otatninations, "I'm on the right tack, but shot me dead if I ain't on the wrong nd of it." A ishop's wife was telling the story o Jonah to her child the other day in he West Country, "Such a big fish awafllowed him, my dear ; such a big fish --sit might have swallowed your dear papa." The child was eating grapes, find was of an inductive mind— And;ould he spit out the skin, mamma?" —An f old Connecticut deacon once took to church with him a young man,. educated, refined and a lover of nature. The autumnal hues: were at the height of their glory, and the young man called the attention of his companio n to a clu#np of trees. The staggering response that the old deacon gave was: "I never see trees on Sunday." —"Just keep your bottle of whiskey in your closet, and when the girl brings you yoir hot shaving -water in the morning, your can mix your toddy quickly;+ and not a soul will know a ? thing aaiout it," said the M. D. The plan worked well until the old man's deughter thought he must be going in- sane, because he wanted to shave five or six tines every day. — e, Short tiine since two young ladies were accosted by a gypsy wo- than, who told them that for a shilling each she would show them their hus- bands' faces, in a pail of water, which being brought they exclaimed : "We, '.. only see oar -own faces." "Well," said the old; woman,"those faces willbe your huubands when you are married." —Weal, well 1 wonder what will next be "all: the rage." First we had spell- ing -bees, then the Beecher business, base ball, the yellow fever, Tannorism, the go -as -you -please , walking mania, Pinaforq, Sara Barnhardt, and now people have come to reading the Bible, and lastly we have shot our worthy President.

"My brethren, suppose me to be the shepherd, and you to be the sheep, and Tammss Sangster, the pre: - cantor, tO be the sheep -dog." Tammas, however!,was not inclined -to coincide in this I comparison, and exclaimed, "Ill be roman's sheep dog." Said the main istefi, "I am speaking mystically." "Na,; ne," rejoined Ta.mmas, "I ken fine ye visna speakin' mystically ; ye wis spei.kin' maliciously, and jist to gar the folk leach at me when we're cot aboot. —A Tieing gentleman, who is very particular about the getting up of his linen, wrote a note to his laundress, and at the same time seat one to the object of! his affections. Unfortunately he put the wrong address upon the en- velopes and posted them. The woman was puzzled, bat not in the least offendedf; but when the young lady read : "If you rumple up my shirt bosoms and drag the button off the collar any more, as you did last time, I shall hays to go somewhere else," she cried all the evening, and declared she would. never speak to him. again. Concerning theChurch Cough. f BY AUNT 30P'HIA,. The coughing season has come round once fnoife, and brought with it no little annoyance to some communities. For the worst of it is that in this mat- ter uo man lig eth to himself. If one member `of the congre;atiou suffer;.;, all the members suffer with him—some more, sme less, according to their ls sensibiilitfee, there l ayes, their tem- pers. `s I wish; to make two general remarks in regard to this trying complaint, the church 'nd prayer -meeting cough. First, here is more coughing than there ned be. It may sound harsh, but I do not mean it' unkindly, when I say that much of the coughing in public assem- blies -is dile, not to coclds or diseased lungs. b.t to thoughtlessness or in- breeding.' Coughing is one of the many f. ms of self-assertion. This little m u coughs, like Mr. Snagsby, from pur bashfuln'eas. Having walked up the b oad aisle and settled his ut- tering funnily, he feels that the eyes of the world are upon flim, and expresses his deference to the world in general and to the proprieties of the occasion by frequent entIe explosions behind his glove. That lusty brother just under the pulpit is uo invalid. He cough: by way of eX- pre:,:iing in the Canner most proper under the circumstances his satisfac- tion. with things in general He is here iu Ihis aeam-itomed. place. The services are proceeding according to the tiiue honored traditions of the com- munity. The sentiments of the preach- i er are his own. He benevolently (calls attention to these pleasing facts by a sonorous c nigh and clearing of the throat.. r girl i That �oui�c � under the gallery cough,' bileause some one has looked at her and rade her nervous. That boy coughs because he must do something or burst. He must -not wriggle; he must not read his Sunday School book ; be must not turn round to look at the clock. He doea, the only thing permissible in church—salutes the congregation from time to time with a hearty round of coughing. The quietest persons in our congrega- tion are several ladies Who have suffer- edfor yeats from serious lung'difficul- ties. At home they are sometimes dis- tressed by sharp attacks of coughing. But they are ladies.They have the ,But of quietness;est ingrained Rood - !breeding which perms is no unnecessary !obtruding of the physicalpersonality. The habit sits lightly on them. It has become a second nature, and so with- out any painful restraint they . are usually able to control their coughs in church. That nervous young girl ander the gallery is trying very hard to ac- quire good manners. Let her lay to heart this first principle of good-breed- ing—that self, except in its pleasantest manifestations, should be kept as far as possible out of sight and sound—and she will cough less in church and prayer - meeting. g. A Friendly Game. "Say, mister 1" said a tali, sunburned -man with a wide brimmed hat, as he -edged his way into the managing editor's„—_n yesterday afternoon. "Say, mister, do you know anything about:kearda?” "Why, yes," responded the - editor, "I know how to play 'everlasting' and 'old maid' and things of that kind ; why ?" "That is just what I want to ask abqut. Now in playing 'old maid,' suppose the man who holds the age antes, and passes on the draw, who's bet is it ?" "That isn't the way I play it," maid the editor. "In my game the player who has a queen after the other cards are played is the 'old maid." - "Perhaps it's 'everlasting' that I'm -thinking of," mused the stranger. "Suppose in 'everlasting' you should catch an old maid on the draw, and when the rest of the.keards" was played' you found you hadn't filled. What then ?" "I don't see how that question could arise in that game," said the editor. "Maybe , you are talking of the game called 'poker.' "' ','Poker' ! what's that ?" naked the stranger, looking rap in innocent sur- prise. - - "That's where they have ages and fulls and that sort of thing." "Do you know how to play it, stran- ger?" asked the tall man, drawing out a pack of Dards. "Will you show me how ?" The - editor ran over the cards and dealt two hands rapidly. "Now," he explained, "two pairs beat one pair, three of a kind beat two pairs, a flush beats threes and four of a kind beats a flush. What have you. got ?" The stranger laid down a -mixed hand and the editor explained that it was worthless, as his own hand held a pair. "Lemrne deal 'em once," said the stranger, xunning them off clumsily: "Five each 2 "Yes," replied the editor, seeing that he had gotten hold of a sharper -and making up his mind to teach him a lesson, - "Five each." "Now what do we do ?" asked the sharper. "If we were betting, I'd have to ante a dollar and you'd cover it with two. Then if I wanted to come in I'd plank another dollar, and then—." "Hold on ! hold on ! don't go so fast. Yon put up two dollars at differ- ent times and I put up two all at once. That's it ?" • "Yes, and then we draw." "Let's try it, once for fun, if you don't mind," said the sharper with unnatural eagerness. "All right," smiled the editor, and he threw two dollars on the table, which were promptly covered. "Now you say we draw. How many do we take.?" "You may take what you like,I don't want any," replied the editor. "I stand pat." "Then I take one keard. Do we bet now ?"' "Yes." - The stranger bet cautiously, and the editor raised him, and was seen until there were - fifteen dollars wagered, though there was no money up, beyond the ante. "I reckon I won't bet any more," said the stranger timidly, "who beats?" and he laid down four aces. "I beat you," said the managing, editcr,and he laid down;astraight flush. •'You owe me $15." The stranger looked at the Dards some time, and then dashed his fist ore; the table. "You played fair, did ye ?'• "I did," replied the editor. Slowly the stranger pulled out a greasy wallet and laid down a twenty dollar bill. The editor, gave him change, and the man went out, still running over the cards and wondering how it hap- pened. "I thought he was a sharp and he is only a - flat,". said the editor, explain- ing the circumstance later - to the cashier, as he handed in the twenty for change. "Like to oblige you, old boy," smiled - the cashier, "but that twenty is a counterfeit 1" Parties having business with the managing editor for a week or two will come armed.—Brooklyn Daily Ragle. Taking the Census. In Chamber's Journal a parish schoolmaster, who was a census taker, narrates a few of the incidents he wit- nessed. One of them is as follows : They are three maiden ladies—sisters. Iteems the one s woo �d nottrust t ust the other to see the census paper filled rap ; so they agreed to bring it to me to fill it in. - Now, Miss McFarlane is a very fine lady ; though Miss Cameron tells me she has been calling very often at the manse since the miciater lost his wife. Be that as it may, I said to her that I would be happy to fill up the paper, and asked her in the meantime to give me her own particulars. When it came to the age column, she played with her foot on the carpet, and • drew the black ribbon of her bag through , her fingers, and whispered : "You can say four -and -thirty at any rate. Then Miss Sa:ran came over—that's the sec. and sister really a- handsome young creature with fine "ringlets and curls. though she is a little tender -eyed and 1 wears speotacles. Well, when we came to else age column, Miss Susan played with one of her ringlets, and looked into my face sweetly and said : ',Mr. McLaughlin, what did Miss McFarlane say? My sister, you know, is consider- • ably older than I am—there was a brother between us." • -i I "Quite so, - my dear Mise Spsan," said 1; "but you see the bargain was that each -of you was to state you wn age." "Well," said Mise Susan, still i p a ng with her ringlets, "you can sayH e, thirty-four years, Mr. Motauohlih. ' In a little while the the youngest sis- ter came in. "Miss MaFarlane,'1 said she, "sent we over for the "e . sus paper." y . "Oh, no; my dear'," "I cannot) part with the paper." "Well, then," said she, "just e r ter my name too, Mr. MoLauahlin." "Quite so. But tell me, Mise Ro- bina, why did Miss McFarlane not fill up the paper herself ?"—tor Miss Ro- bina and I were always un very o r nfi- dential terms. "Oh," she replied, "there was a dis- pute over particulars, and Misr lei c- Farlane would :not let my other ? si:ter see how old she was ; and Miss S i san refused to state her age to Miss Mc ar- lane, and so to end the gnafrel we agreed to ask you to be so kind ' a to fill up the paper." "Yes; yes, Miss Robina," said I ; "that's quite satisfactory ; and se I'll fill in your name now if you please' "Yes," she uttered with a s gh.- When we came to :the age coli n- 1 "Is it absolutely necessary," sailshe "to fill in the age ? Don't you thin . it a moat impertinent question to, sk, Mr. McLauchlin ?" "Tut, it may be to some follp, bra to a sweet young creature like yota, it an - not matter a button." . ,' E "Well," said Miss Robina. " rat, now, Mr. McLanchlin, I'm going to tell yon a great recret ;" and she b'u hed as she softly continued ; "the mi;n . ter comes -sometimes to see ns." "I have noticed him rather mqr; at- tentive in his visitations in your ; q • ar- ter, of late, than usual, Mies Robina " "Very well, Mr. MoLauchlini; but yourmust not me 'now. on tease know that Miss McFarlane is of o ti ion • `that lie is in love with her ; whit$a iss Susan thinks her taste for litera are and her knowledge of geology„ a:pe- cially her pamphlet on' the Old ' ed Sandstone and its fossils as confer et ing the Mosaic record, are all matter of great interest to Mr., Fraser, and she fancies that he comes so frequent) for the privilege of conversing with er. But," exclaims ;Miss Robina, Wit' a look of triumph, "look at that 11" and she held:in her hand a beautiful gold ring. "i have got from the minister this very day." 1 congratulated her. She had ben a favorite pupil of mine, and I was ra her pleased with what happened. 4 " ut what," I asked her, "has all this to do with the census ?" x "Oh, just this," continued Mise Ro- bina, "I had no reason to conceal my age, as Mr. Fraser knows it eXa tly since he baptized me. He wa a creature then, only three-and•twe ty ; so that's just the difference between ." "Nothing at all, Miss Robina)" aid I -"nothing 'at all: not worth nmen- tioning. " "In this changeful and passing worjld," said Miss Robina, "three -and -twenty years are not much, after all, Mpr. Me- - Lauchlin." "Much ! said. I. "Tuts, my dear, it's nothing—just, indeed, " w at it should be." "I was just thirty-four last bir hday, Mr. McLauchlan," said Miss bina, "and the minister said the last time he called that no young lady should take the responsibility of a household upon herself till she was—well eight - and twenty ; and he added that thirty- four was late enough." "The minister, my dear," said I, "is a man of sense. So thus were the Miss McFa4lanes' census schedules filled up ; and r ever some one in search of the "Gari cities of the Census" should come acros it, he may think it strange enough, or he will find that the three sisters oFar- lane are all "ae year's bairns." , Deacon Budge's Idea. Deacon Budge is a - kindly old man, who is the quiet one in our quartette of deacons. He rarely says more than, ''Sartain, sartain," or "Jes so," to any- thing, and when he called upona -to talk over the case of Daniel Huggins I was very much surprised. "I've nothin' agin Dan'1's preecliin', as you must know," said the decon gently, "but I'm dead sot agin this goin' ter college. Now don't mien nler- stand .me !" and the old man eye me pleadingly as he mopped - his gr zzled , neck with hie bandanna. "In t e' y- I I b'leive in a parson's bein' larn'd but practice is dif'er'nt. Dan'l's as good 1 as gold, an' he's cute enough fuany- • body, an' what's more I b'lieve hes got a call but you know, an' 1 kno jes's well's I wante'r know nothin', the it he preaches he'll heve ter dew it test the scrubby end uv nowheres. Them places such as I was speakiu' uv most always need preachin' the allfiredest; an' so e- body's got'er do it. Au' ef preae ers aro what they ort'er be somebodyllil be willin' to do it ; but I never seed no way uv livin' without satin' ani' it's agin the law to go naked, besides b in' inconvenient. An them places mostly =pay in admiration,—mostly. I'pose you see what I'm a gittin' at. 1 tell Dan'l he won't need uo Greek r He- brew to speak uv; where he'll pr ach ; an' ef he had it it'd only be tough r fur him to get 'lcjng. My i -dee is tha lie'd better stick tb farmin', steady, ti 1 he knows it, an winters, an' all his pare time, read up iu hist'ry an' t ings giuerally, with you, an' then, ef b' en' by he must preach or bust, he an take a farm down in • the middle uv New Liberty Township, where 't's g ou laud, au' he'll -have Tower Hill ILC' Scribe, au' Niggerville; an' Pra t's Holler,ter preach tew,an' he'll be d v,in' jest what Aunt Charity tried to it Eat in her will, au didn't. Hell be t uht how to get his livin' au' he'll git it, an' preach." I have turned the matter over id ty mind, aud after much deliberb.tion have coucluded that the deacon is •i ht, and that his plan ought not to be li i ed �r to Dicu 1 but ought to be p a 1'ed to at feast one half of the prey hers. I know it is a comfort to a parssor to know Greek and Hebrew, and tobe_ learned in eccleaiastic�tl history - rut_ wheu a man has to teach a people of whom Flisha Flint and Jonas Holt are the representatives, and to support a family on $200 or $300 per annum, he needs training that is not furnished by a thorough study of Greek voices, Hebrew inflections and church schisms. —Rev.
