—A gentleman was complimenting a
pretty young lady in the presence of his
wife. "It's lucky I did not meet Miss
Hopkins before 1 married you,my dear."
,‘ Well, yes, it is extremely—for her,"
was the rejoinder.
—A case was recently tried in Argyle -

the judge observed that it was the first

national liquid. He said, "Ye dinna,

—A man whose knowledge is based on
actua1 experience says that, when calling
on their sweethearts, young mein should
carry affection in their hearts, perfection
in their manners, and confection in their
pockets.
—The clergymen in Edinburgh seem
to consult their people with great free-
dom in regard to matters of dress. The
ladies of the congregation of Dr. , in
that city, lately determined to present
the doctor with a pulpit gown. The
doctor, on the Sunday after it was pre-
sented, intimated to the people of the
church, "The ladies have been kind
enough to present me with a pulpit gown
—but lest any member should object to
my wearing it I shan't put it on yet,and
will hear objections on Thursday night."
Nobody came to object but an old lady.
The doctor said, "WelleJanet, what ob-
jection have you to the pulpit gown ?"
"Awed, sir," said Janet,"we never read
of the apostle Paul wearing a gown ?"
The doctor said (and there was a signifi-
cance in his reply), "You are quite right,
Janet, but we never read of St. Paul
wearing breeks (trousers)." That satis-
only want you to be business -like. Give
him ten dollars, if you have it to sub-

money you can spare, and your heltrt

lend that kind of a man a dollar. Only
lend money where there is at least a ire -
mote pOssibility of its being paid back.
Thai's all. You may go, now. By the
way, I took care of that note- of Jack
Merrihart's that you didn't tell me any-
thing. about; it's all right now, only
don't lend Jack any more than you can
afford to give him. A man who has no
idea of the value of his own meney, has
just as little comprehension of the value
of yours.—Robt. Burdette.
lied the old lady.
A Law Agin It.
dtOur church has got a bran' new man,
The other preacher can't come near him,
and Sunday being bright and warm,
thought I'd like to go and hear him;
But if I know'd 'twas fashion day,
With women dressed like fancy picters,
To take my mind in sermon time, •
I'd stayed at home and read the Scriptures.
"I'm old and I'm old fashioned, but
I notice quick what isn't decent,
Ancl I say women act like geese,
In aping every style that's recent.
They comb their hair straight up behind,
And put in arrers for to pin it,
And friz and bang it down in front;
There ought to be a law agin it.
`"They buy the highest hats there is,
And make 'eni higher yet with trimmini,
.And feathers frizzin' out, until
They look like Injuns more than women;
And bustles! land, I saw one girl
Who couldn't sit straight up a minute,
I say it's awful—and I say,
There ought to be a law agin 'em.
"'Twasn't so when 1 was young—why then
'The girls at church was worth a seein',
They didn't dress till folks forgot
To praise the author of their bein' ;
Our gowns was neat, with buttons up
And clown, in modest rows to tern 'em,'
I mind Aunt Polly Jones declared
There ought to be a law agin it.
"But_she was queer; I recollect
The bunnit that I got one summer
, Had lace and roses on the side,_
And so it like to overcome her.
For when she saw that bunch o' lace,
With artificial posies in it,
She just rolled up her eyes and said :
'There ought to be a law agin ,it."
Good Cousin Phoebe stops and smiles,
Her thought has taken new direction
The context 'twixt the then and now
Calls up to her past recollection
She quite forgetthe modern style,
, That makes the modern woman sinner,
For clothed with youthful grace again,
Her worn out garments come and win her.

also undergoes many changes, the
mounting and earflaps being taken away,
as they are considered -too heavy. The
bit and frontlet are made of rope''with-
out throat -band,, and the reins, though
very strong, are extremely light. The
time most favorable for ostrich -
hunting is when there is the greatest heat.'
The higher the temperature the less is
the ostrich able to defend itself. The
Arab says that when a man stands up-
right and his shadow is only the length
of his foot, that is the exact time to
hunt. Each horseman is accompanied
by a servant called tzernmal:' He is
mounted on a camel carrying four goat-.
skins filled with water and barley for
the horse, wheat flour for the . rider,
some dates and a kettle in which to cook
the food, and everything which can pos-
sibly be required - for the repairing of
the harness in case of accident. The
horseman wears a linen vest and trous-
ers, and covets his neck and es with a
long material called "havuli'' which is
tied with a strip of camel's hide. His
feet are protected by sandals and his
legs by light gaiters called the `trabag.,
He has neither gun nor pistol, his only
weapon ,being a wild olive or tamarind
stick five or six feet long, with a heavy
knob at one end." "After one or two
days' travelling, when they have arrived
near the desired spot they begin
to see traces of their game, they halt
and camp. After settling, two intel-
ligent,slaves are sent out to reconnoitre.
They.carry a goatskin at their side and
a little bread. They walk on until the

Blunders of Painters.
Tintoret, an Italian painter, in a pic-
ture of the children of Israel gathering
manna, has taken the precaution to arm
them with the modern invention of guns.
Cigoli painted the aged Simon at the
circumcision of the infant Saviour, and.
as the aged men in these da,ys wear spec-
tacles,the painter has shown his sagacity
by placing them on Simon's nose. In a
picture by Verrio, of Christ healing the
sick, the lookers-on are represented as
standing with periwigs on their heads.
To match, or rather to exceed this ludi-
crous representation, Durer has painted
the expulsion of Adam and Eve from the
garden of Eden by an angel in a flounced
dress. The same painter, in his scene of
Peter denying Christ,represents a Roman
soldier comfortably smoking a pipe of
tobacco.
A Dutch painter, in a picture of the
wise men worshiping the Holy Child,has
drawn one of them in a large white sur-
plice, and in boots and spurs, and he -is
iu the act of presenting the child with
the model of a Dutch man-of-war. In a
Dutch picture of Abraham offering up
his sorainstead of the patriarch "stretch-
ing forth his hand and taking the knife,"
as the Scriptures inform us, he is repres-
ented as using a more effective and
modern instrument; he is holding to
Isaac's head a blunderbuss, lterlin re-
presents =in a picture the Virgin and
Child listening to a violin; and in an-
other he has drawn Daniel playing the
harp at the marriage of Christ with St.
Catherine.
And, as if to crown the list of these
absutd anachronisms, the Garden of
Eden hat been drawn with Adam and
Eve in all their primeval simplicity and
virtue, while near them, in full costume,
is seen a hunter with a gun shooting
ducks.
