Jl My Lottery Tickets- What they Cost and What they Amounted to. I made some reply and left him. I thought I would not carry home the news paper that night. I was ashamed to have M ary see it.

But the stripes would all run the wrong way, while the colors were provokingly bright compared with the faded garment. “ Never mind that, Mary,” said I, “here’s a chance to throw way your patches. Hurrah for a lovely country scat on the Iliidson, fifty shares of bank stock, a house in town, or anything else you wish, and all for a dollar !” “ Now Thomas,” said she, and when she wishes to be particularly severe she always calls me Thomas, “ what are you talking about ?” “ A gift enterprise, Mollie—ticKets on ly a dollar and sure to draw a prize.” I read the heading and displayed the long list of prizes. “ What do you think of that ?” 1 shouted triumphantly. “ 1 think,” she said, laughing, “that if you make so much noise you will wake the baby.” Then seeing that I looked annoyed, she added : “ But I do not think that lotteries are just right, espe cially for church members. Do you ?” “ 0, nonesense ] I never saw a church fair iu my life that did not have grab boxes and lotteries. 1 shouldn’t dare to say how many dollars I spent on them, and never drew anything either.” f?he looked roguishly at me. “ Don’t you think, then, you are most too old to begin ?” “It may as well he I as any one, and it is no great matter, only a dollar.” “ I know, Tom,” and the wise little wo man looked grave, “ hut we haven’t many dollars to throw away,” and she held up the baby’s socks with a good sized hole in each heel. “ And little Tom’s school hill comes in next week. I laid down my paper and tried to speak convincingly. “Now, Mollie, it is all very well for a man to jog on clay after day, earning and spending just so much, but lie likes to make a venture once in a while just for the excitement of the thing, if for nothing more.” “ Yes; but Tom, don’t you remember the share in the oil well ?” “ Y-e-s,” said I, slowly, for it was rath er an unpleasant topic of conversation to me. I had invested the little sum left me by a maiden Aunt in an oil company, against Mary’s good judgment. Capital, a million dollars, more or less; oil well, flowing day and night, on the land of the next company, just over the fence. 1 was very much elated, and promised Mary, among other tilings, a new black silk dress we had seen displayed in some shop window". Well, they bored and bored, throwing up a great deal of dirt, and a great deal of water, but not a drop of oil; and just as they were about to begin in a new spot the treasurer, or some one else, ran away with the funds, and that ended the whole affair. Mary, like a good wo man, never reproached me, but when I came one day and found her turning her old merino iuside out and upside down, I felt—well I can’t tell just how; but I thought of that black silk dress. “ And oh !” she continued, “ don’t you remember the patent for the flour sifter ?” and she laughed outright. So did I to look into Mary’s clear brown eyes and tell a lie. So I just told her the whole truth.

From the Eufavla Ears. Letter from Liberia. Mt. Pleasant, Buchanan County, ) Grand Bassa, Jan. 15, 1808. j Mr. L ucius Monroe : Dear Sir—It no doubt would afford you great satisfaction to hear from me with respect to Africa. I arrived on the Coast of Africa on the 24th of December, 1807, but did not reach the place of my destination until the 4th of January, 18G8, then in the harbor of Grand Bassa, and on the 5th, 1 was invited ashore to preach to the con gregation ofllcv.

I have seen the land. I have walked over some portions of it. I have seen many of the f ruits of the land, also many vegetables common to the country, which it would be too tedious to mention. I have seen the palm tree, of which so much is said. 1 have been eating my meals cooked with oil made of the nuts of the palm tree.— Palm butter is made of the nuts of the same tree; it makes a very nice dish.— From the same I saw a cabbage and tur nip, and had the pleasure of eating some for dinner this day. I cannot further describe it, but it is true as I tell you. 1 find that all Mr. It. F. Ilill said about Africa is true. I could have had no idea from what I heard of Africa while I was iu America. I have seen many things that I heard of before 1 came to Africa, and now no longer doubt. 1 have seen them, and handled the things which I had only heard about. I am now’ living with Brother Davis, the pastor of our church ; for I and my wife, and a number of others of the com pany that came to Africa, have joined this church—the First Baptist Church of Buchanan. The Sacrament was adminis tered last Lord’s Day, and we had a fine time. I assisted Brother Davis in admin- 1 istering the Sacrament of the Lord’s Sup arms, expecting to ascend heavenward But the law of gravitation was too much for both her faith and the gravity of the audience.

I hope you will not arouse the sleeping lion in my breast, for if you should, I cannot tell what may be the consequences!” An honest old lady in the country, when told of her husband’s death, ex claimed, “ Well, I do declare, our trou bles never come alone ! It ain’t a since I lost my hen, and now Mr. per has gone too, poor man !” A preacher, in a funeral sermon lady, after summing up her good ties, added that she always reached her husband his hat, when he called for it, without muttering. A good anecdote is fold of a well known vagabond, who was brought, before a mag- istrate as a common vagrant. Having suddenly harpooned a good idea, he pulled from the capacious pocket of his tattered coat a loaf of biead and a half dried cod fish, and holding them up with a triumph ant look and gesture to the magistrate, exclaimed : “ You don’t catch me that way; I’m no vagrant.

An old woman on a steamboat observed two men pumping up water to wash the deck, and the captain being near by she accosted him as follows: “ Well, captain, got a well on board, eh?” “ Yes, ma’am, always carries one,” said the polite captain. “Well, that’s clever.
