Carlyle says: “Make yourself a good man, and you may be sure there is one ras cal less in the world.” A parson, reading the funeral services at the grave, forgot the sex of the deceased, and asked one of the mourners, an Emer alder, “Is this a brother or a sister?” “Nayther,” replied Pat; only a cousin.” Mrs. Partington, in illustration of the proverb “a soft answer turneth away ruth,” says “tha: it i- better to speak paregcrical ly of a person that to be all the time fling ing epitaphs at him.” The Chicago lawyers, who lost some S4CM,(K)O worth of law books iu the fire, now as* a liberal donation of books for the library of their Law Institute, which they promise to make free to the bar generally. A bashful young man was escorting a bashful young lady, when she said, entreat ingly; “Juhez, don’t tell anybody you heaued me home.” “Don't be afraid,” re plied he ; “I am as much ashamed of it as you are.” That settled it. Says the psalmist—“He maketh my feet like hind’s feet ” A negro preacher read it “hen’s feet,” and proceeded to say “dat hen in de hen roost, when she falls asleep tightens her grip sVs not fall off. And dat's how true faith my breddren, holds on to de rock.” A clerk in a postoffice was a little em barrassed the other day on being asked bv a iady if there was a letter for my coW. B“ing disposed to treat her politely he re plied that there w«s nothing for anybody's cow The lady being equally embarrassed, also disposed to be polite, said she inquired for Mike Rowe. The following correspondence is said to have taken place between a merchant and one of his clients: “Sir your account has been standing f,.r two years ; I must have it settled immediately.” Answer; “Sir things usually settle by standing ; «i| that my account is an exception. Ts fl has been standing too long suppose you let it run a little.” A clergyman, who owned a farm, found his plowman sitting on his plow, renting nig horse. Quoth the clerg’ man : “Jxhn, wouldn’t it be a good plan for you to have a good stub-scythe here and be cutting a few bushes along the fence while the horse is resting a short time?” Wouldn’t it he well sir,” said John, “for you to have a tub of potatoes in the pulpit, and when they are singing, peel’em awhile tube ready for the pot ?” Avery happy retort was that of a badg ered witness to a lawyer named Missing who wag tormenting him. The lawyer was Defending a prisoner charged with stealing a donkey. The prosecutor had left the animal tied up to a aod when he re turned it was gone. Missing was very severe in his examination of the witness. “Do you mean to say, witne»«, the donkey was stolen from that gate. “I mean to say, sir,” giving the judge and then tbe jury a sly look “the as<* wa« Mis-ing.” A Tender Uon.-cienc* — A good example of a morbidly tender conscience, an well an one wholly mpervious to a Conviction of wr rig, is aff.rded in the story of a hatter aid blacksmith, who were members of the same church. The latter, who was a thoroughly pious man, arose one day in a conference meeting to tell of the enj tymont he experienced in communion with God. in which delightful duty he spent an hour in the middle of each day. “Try it, brethren.” said he, “you will be richly repaid for the lose of time in your business, and do not allow yourselves to be interrupted by any calls to business. Why, when I was thus engaged, I would not lose my devotions even if I knew I were losing the sale of a hat—that is,” he added, after a moment’s pause, “a wool hat.” The blacksmith, un like the hatter, never troubled himself to make corrections. Oo the contrary hi» cry ing sin was that of exaggeration. Ilia deeds of valor were no less remarkable than Sir John Falstaff, and the enemies whom he disputed in battle oft n increased in the same ratio as those of the hero of Gad’s Hill. The brethren of the church, pained by the reproach which the marvel us stories seemed to bring <m his profession, r»*Holved to ctU a me ting, i.nite the offending brother to be present, and in a delicate way, hint to him, that he was doing much harm to the cause of religion. A number of in direct allusions producing no effect on the blacksmith, the hatter rose and said he should be under the painful necessity of being personal, and would unwillingly say he referred to the brother n pew No. 4. ‘ Brethren, said our friend of the anvil, slowly rising and looking about him with tears in his eyes, “It must be that you al lude to me.

The Citisen chronicles the death of Judge Henry W. Cowles, caused by consumption. Fat chickens and turkeys are plentiful in Macon. The Telegraph and Messenger says, “we hear of • man who carried seven teen ‘possums’ to Cuthbert, a few days ago. He said he caught them all in ona night, and it was a mighty bad night for ‘poar-um hunting’ at that.
