At the close of the Coherence, Rev. N.

Resolved, Tliatwe a e profoundly th nkfulto the God of all favors for our abundani success, which has -likely ■ ever been equalled in the history of the Christian Church. Resolved, That w<* tender the many mini ters of the M. E. Church South, our grateiul ac knoledgements, who have so generously as sisted us in the est-ih isiuneiit of our churches in d’fferent parts of the State, none of w/mm have cv<-r tried to impede our effoits or traduce our name. Resolved, That inasmuch as the formation of our Conference constitutes us regularly organ ized, we intend ’o live, if possible, in fraternal harmony with all sister churches, and seek only the spread of the Hetleuner’s Kingdom.

A Soldier’s Joke —The corres*> poiult’iil of a Virginia paper gives the following story : A command of eavairy, which was afterwards distinguished for its t. r dll a in ry. was, on its first organic ation, a laughing stock not merely to Forest’s veterans, hut to the Yankees tlu-m --selves. One day, on a tram in Mis sissippi, the rear car was occupied hy soldiei s cracking their rough jokes upon one another. When the ton was al its height, a very ungainly “Relt,” with clanking spurs, uncombed hair, and a general appearance of long disuse ol a ‘ hiled’’ shirt, stalked to a window, and thrust his carhiue nut of it. Tl.en he slopped, and looking around, as though apprehensive that he was doing some thing wrong, and inquired, “is thar any of It's men aboard this shebang?’-’ N” answer, oi say, hoys, does any of you belong to U’scavalry ?” At length some one spoke up, saying : “I belong'to K’s cavalry.” “Axingyer pardon stranger.” said the uncouth individual, “my old gun is dirty, and I wanted to clean her out; I’m just gwine to pop a cap. Don’t he sheared honey !” We should not he surprised if that joke was not bdd in the next fight at tended by the command. A Boy's First Composition. —An exchange given the following as a gen uine production, just as it came from the pen of a juvenile, it being hi# first composition. The subject—“ Oxen “Oxen is a vrrv slow animal, they are good to hi:tk« ground up. ] would rather lia«’e horses if they didn’t have kollick, which they say is wind col lected in a hunch, which makes it dangerer for to keep horses the people would have to wheal tha re wood on a wheal barrow, it would take two ot three days to wheal a cord a mile.— Cows is useful to. I have heard some say that if they had to he tother or an ox they wood be a cow. IJ.it I think when it cum to have their tits pulled off a mnrniu they wood wish they wasn’t, for oxen don’t generailv have to raise caves. If i hail to he ennv i wood rather be a lieffur. But if i coodent be a lietlur and bed to be both i wood be an ox.” “Josh Bdlings,” Artemus Ward, and a host of ( titer professional, paid hu morists. hardly ever beat this iugeuuiue humor. Anour the Ladies. —Whai lady is g 0.l to eat? Sal Ladd. What lady is good to eat with her 7 Olive Oil. What lady preaches in the pulpit? Minnie Stir. What lady has to fight the Indians 7 Emmi Grant.

Choor. What ladv is much talked of now? Amelia Ration. Whn lady is used to war ? Milly Tary. What lady is lively and gay ? Annie. Mation. What lady is voracious? Annie Condor and Allie Gaiter. A waggish journa'ist, whn is often merry over his personal plainness, tells this story of himself; “I went to a drug store early the other day for a dose of moipliine for a sick friend. The night clerk objected to giving it to :ne without a prescrip tion. evidently fearing lha' 1 intended suicide. “Pshaw !” said I. ‘do I look like a man who would kill himself?’ “Gazing at me steadily for a moment, he replied : “I don’t know. Seems to me if I looked like von I should be greatly tempted to kill in}self.” The Way it Works. —“Hello. Sam bo! Whar did you git dat nice blue overcoat ?'* “Ob. go ’way nigga ; I got it aide drawin’.” “What for you go dar? I knows you got plenty of good clo'ea, and ! plenty to eat, ton.” “To be sure I is.

A Boston paper relates the iw*»«**•' >"g. “Col. U. spent the winter in Lexing ton. K>. A friend of his went to visit him. ‘Come Sunday,* says the Col., *1 want you to hearken to out church hells here.

The eondiietyr would not permit him tocmidcseead. Meanness. —Tlie meanness of For ney’s Hr css is unbounded.
