Nothing like being accurate in your
statements. “Pat, what are you digging
that hole for ?” “Its not the hole, sir,
its the dirt I’am digging.”
A celebrated wit was asked why he
did not marry a young lady to whom he
was much attached. “I know no reason,”
he replied, “except the great regard we
have for each other.”
An lowa house of worship is called

There was a little Biddeford boy who
put a lighted match into a nearly empty

At a collection made at a charity fair
a lady offered the plate to a rich man
who was well-known for his stinginess.
“I have nothing,” was the curt reply.
"Then take something, sir,” said the
lady; “you know I am begging for the
poor.”
A bright little three-year-old in Hart
ford, having become a little mixed be
tween her religious instruction and her
nursery rhymes, gravely recites: “The
Lord is my shepherd, and He has lost
His sheep, and He don’t know where to
find them.”
A young lady who has been greatly
annoyed by a lot of young simpletons
who stop under her window at night to
sing, “If ever I cease to love,” wishes us
to say if they will cease that foolishness,
come in and talk “business,” they will
confer a favor.
Mrs. John Smith’s baby was born on

On the recent trip of one of the Illi
nois river packets, a light draught one,
as tlier' were only two feet of water in
the channel, the passengers were startled
by the cry of “man overboard!” The
steamer was stopped and preparations
were made to save him, when he was
heard exclaiming, “Go ahead with your
old steamboat! I’ll walk behind!”
A dispute about precedence once
arising between a Bishop and a judge,
after some altercation the latter thought
he should quite confound his opponent
by quoting the follvwing passage: “For
on these hang all the law and the
prophets.” “Do you not see,” said the
lawyer, in triumph, “that even in this
passage of Scripture we are mentioned
first ?” I grant you,” said the Bishop,
“you hang first.”
Dr. McCosh (now President of Prince
ton College) tells the story of a
n O ro who prayed earnestly that he
and his people might be preserved from
what he called their “upsetting sins.”
“Brudder,” said one of his friends, at the
close of the meeting, “you ain’t got the
hang ob dat ar word. It’s ‘besetting,’
not ‘upsetting.’ “Brudder,” replied the
other, “if dat’s so, it's so. But I was
prayin’ do Lord to save us from the sin
of intoxication, and if dat ain't ‘upset
tin’ sin, I dunno what am.”
A Sh arp Retort.— One of the cars of a
wcsturn bound train contained among
other passengers, a clergyman, and five
or six young ragamuffins, rascals who, to
annoy the priest, kept scoffing at reli
gion and telling disagreeable stories.
The good man endured it all, hearing
everything, but returning no answer,
without being moved. Arrived at his
journey’s end, he got out, and only re
marked:
“We shall meet again, my children.”
“Why shall we meet again ?” said the
leader of the baud.
“Because I am a prison chaplain," was
the reply.

THE WOKLD’S FAVORITE

Sewing: Machine!!
Over 1,900,000 Sold.
THE SINGER MANUFACTURING COMPANY, last
year, brought their sales up to the astonish
ing figure of 241,619; Heating their For
midable Competitor 148,882; but sales of that
competitor show a FALLING OFF in 1874, as com
pared with 1873, over 26,000 Machines; where the
Rales of the SINGER COM PA NY show an INCREASE
year bv year, and the sales of the other Companies, for
several years at least, show a DECREASE. The com
parative rales of a Machine constitute a good criter
ion of its merits, and more especially so when the rule
in question has been thoroughly tested through a se
ries of years. If you want a good machine, buy the
BINGER. It will do more work with less adjust
ment than any other. It will sew lighter and heavier
goods than any other; and 241,679 people, last year,
pronounced it the best Sewing Machine.
