HAVE PATIENCE.
A youth and maid, one winter night,
Were sitting in the corner;
His name, ware told, was Joshua White,
And hers was Patience Warner.
Not much the pretty maiden said,
Beside the young man sitting ;
Iler checks were flushed a rosey red,
Iler eyes bent on her knitting.
Nor could he guess what thoughts of him
Were to her bosom flocking,
As her fair fingers swift and slim,
Flew round and ronnd the stocking.
V hile, as for Joshua, bashful yonth,
His words grew few and fewer ;
Though all the time to tell the truth,
Ills chair edged nearer to her.
Meanwhile the ball of yarn gave out,
She knit so fast and steady,
And he must give his aid, no doubt,
To get another ready.
lie held the skein; of cottfse the thread
Got tangled, snarled and twisted;
“Have patience l” cried the artless maid,
To him who her assisted.
Good chance was that for fortune-tied churl,
To shorten all palaver ;
“Have Patience!” cried he, “dearestgirl!
And may I really have her?”
The deed was done; no more that night
Clicked needless in the corner—
And she is Mrs. Joshua White
That once was Patience Warner.

HOW I GOT INVITED TO DINNER.
Mv gettin’ the better of my wife’s father
is one of the richest things on record.
I’ll tell you heow it was. Yeou must
know that he is monstrous stingy. The
complaint seems to run in the family, and
everybody ’round our parts used to noticed
that he never hy any chance asked anybody
to diue with him. So one day, jist for a
chunk of fun, I said to a friend of mine,
Jeddy Dowkins—a dreadful nice feller is
Jeddy—“l’ll bet you a penn’orth of shoe
strings ’ginst a row of pins, that I get old
Ben Merlins, that’s my wife’s father, to
ask me to dinner.”
“Yeou git eout,” said Jeddy ; “why, you
might as well try to coax a cat into a show
er bath, or get moonbeams eout ofcowcum
bers.”
“Well,” said I, “I am going to try.”
And try I did, and I’ll tell yeow how I
went to work.
Jist as old Ben was sittin’ down to din
ner, at cue o’clock, I rushed up to the house,
at a high-pressure pace, red-hot in the face,
with my coat-tails in the air, and my eyes
rolling about like billiard-balls in convul
sions. Ilat~a tat-tat— ding-a-ling-a-ling.
I kicked up an awful rumpus, and in a
flush out came old Ben himself. I had
struck the right minnifc. He had a napkin
under his chin, and carvin’ knife in his
hand. I smelt the dinner as he opened the
door.
“O, Mr. Merkins,” said I, “I’m tarna
tion glad tosee you. I feared you moughtn’t
beat home—l’m almost out of breath. I’m
come to tell you I can save you a thousand
dollars 1”
“A thousand dollars!” roared the old
man ; and I defy a weasel to go through a
crack any quicker than his face burst into
smiles. “One thousand dollars ! You don’t
say so! du tell!”
“Oh,” said I, “I see you are just havin’
dinner neow. I’ll go an’ dine myself, an’
then I’ll come back and tell you all about
it.”
“Nonsense,” said he ; “don’t go away ;
come in aod sit down, and enjoy yourself,
like a good fellow, and have a snack with
me. lam anxious to hear what you have
to say.”
I pretended to decline, sayin’ “I’d come
back but I’d thoroughly stirred up the
old chap's curiosity, and it ended by his
fairly pullin’ me into the hoase, and I made
a rattlin’ dinner of of pork and beans.
I managed for some time to dodge the
main pint of his inquiry. At last I finish
ed eating, and there was no further excuse
for delay ; besides old Ben was getting fidg
ety.
“Come neow,” said he, “no more preface.
“About that thousand dollars ; come now,
let it eout!”
“Well, I’ll tell you what, said I, “yeou
have a dartar, Misery Ann, to dispose of in
marriage, have yeou not ?”
“What’s that got to do with it?” inter
rupted he.
“Hold your proud steeds—don't run off
the track—a great deal to do with it,” said
I. “Neow, answer my question.”
“Well,” said he, “I have.”
“And you intend, when she marries, to
give her SIO,OOO for a portion?”
“I do,” he said.
“Well, neow, here’s the pint I’m coming
to. Let me have her, and I’ll take her with
S9OOO ; and 9000 from 10000, according to
simple addition, jist leaves 1000, and that
will be clean profit—saved as slick as a
whistle 1”
The next thing I knew there was a rapid
interview goin’ on between old Ben’s foot
and my coat-tails—and I am inclined to
think the latter got the worst of it.

Let the person whose name you wish to
know inform you in which of the upright
columns the first letter of hts name is con
tained, If it be found ia but one column,
it is the top letter ; if it occurs in more
than one column, it is found by adding the
Alphabetical numbers of the top letters of
these columns, it and the sum will he the
number of the letter sought. By taking
one letter at a time in this way the whole
name can be ascertained. For example
take the word Jane. J is found in two
columns commencing with B and 11, which
are the second and eight letters down the
alphabet; the sum is ten, and the tenth
letter down the alphabet is J. the letter
sought. The next letter, A, appears in but
one column, where it stands at the top. N
is seen in the columns headed with B, D,
and II ; these arc the second, fourth, and
eight letter of the alphabet, which, added,
give the fourteenth, or N, nnd so on. The
use of this table will excite no little curi
osity among those unacquainted with the
foregoing explanations.
Bad Penmanship —Old Blifkens gave his
ideas in the matter of penmanship the other
day to a select party ot friends : Says he:
“A good hand-writtin is a big thing in this
world, aod a feller as can write first-rate
can get inter any persish he likes and at
good wages, too. A teller as writes good
don’t never need to pack a hod or drive a
bud team he’s all right. Jest look at the
bad hand writins in the world. Look at
Rufus Choate or Ward Beecher—would
either of ’em do for County Recorder?—not
much. Look at Horace Greeley. He alters
writ bad, and he went from bein’ reporter
to bein’ editor, and kept on gettin’ wusser
and wusser till now his handwritin is so
degraded that he isn't fit for a common
clerk or a copyist—no, he wouldn’t even
mak a good book-keeper for a swill-cart.”
Forgiveness. —The brave only know how
to forgive. It is the most refined and gen
erous pitch of virtue, human nature can
arrive at. Cowards have done good and
kind actions ; cowards have even fought,
nay. sometimes even conquered ; but a
coward never forgives. It is not his nature.
The power-of doing it flows only from a
strength and greatness of the soul, consci
ous of its own force and security, and above
the little temptations of resenting every
fruitless attempt to interrupt its happiness.
This is as true as preaching. Let any one
skeptical notice and profit by their judg
ment.
Courage. —The Louisville Courier-Jour
nal, in an article commenting on the late
Memphis duel, says: “iu this age a bully’s
denunciation can affix no lasting stigma.
The war proved personal courage to be the
common heritage of our race, and that none
stood the test so poorly as the duelist and
the bully. No man now regards the accep
tance of of a challenge as a proof of cour
age. On the contrary, the tendency is to
regard it as an act of cowardly deference to
the standard of mock chivalry set up by a
class who are wanting in genuine courage
and real manliness.”
Mrs. Partington has been sick, and be
ing inspired, expressed her feelings in the
following language: “La, me! here I have
been suffering the bigamies or death for
throe weeks. First, I was -eized with a
bleeding phrenology in the left hampshire
of the brain, which was exceeded by a
stoppage of the left ventilator of the heart.
This gave me an inflammation of the borax,
and now I’m sick with the chloroform mor
bus. There’s no blessing like that of health,
particularly when you’re sick.”
There was once a very illiterate gentle
men (one Peter Patterson) appointed as"
Justice of the Peace The first day his
clerk handed him a duplicate writ. “Well,
wot shall I do with it!” was the query.
“Nothing but sign your initials,” was the
reply. “My nishuls; what are they?”
“Why two P’s, replied the clerk, impatient
ly. Cold perspiration stood on the fore
head of the unhappy magistrate, and he
seized a pen, and with desperation in his
face, he wrote “To peze.”
A clergyman while reading to his con
gregation a chapter of Genesis, found the
last sentence to be, “And the Lord gave
unto Adam a wife.” Turning over two
leaveas together, he fonud written, and
read, in an audible v«ice, “And she was
pitched without and within.” He had un
happily got into a description of Noah’s
ark.

The Corydou (Ind.) Republican aspire*
to be a family journal, for it says, “The

converting the many millions of heathen in
China. It is hard to tell whether missiona

To be even, China should send a few to
Chicago.

cons of a prominent church in that city

Camp meetings are under full headway
in several of the States. They seem to
enlarge in popularity with each succeeding
year. If the camp grouods continue to
improve in cottage accommodations, adorn
ments, and size, and appliances for amuse
ments, as they have improved during the
past five years, they will eventually inter
fere in a serious manner with the patronage
of the regular watering places.
The Rev. Dr. Collyer, the Radical pastor
of the Church of the Messiah in New York,
said in a sermon the other day : “In sober
truth, if Catholics could prove, by docu
mentary evidence, that Protestants are
doomed to perdition, I would rather go to
heli with John Knox and the other great
lights of Congregationalism, than go to the
seventh heaven with Pio Nono and those
who believe in him.” It would seem that
the Rev. Dr. Collyer is less particular as to
where he goes when he dies “than almost
any other man in the business.”
The oldest Episcopal church edifice in
New England, and perhaps tho United
States, is St. Paul’s, Wickford, R. I. It
was erected in 1707, and has been long dis
used as a place of worship. Ono pleasant
Sabbath afternoon, not many summers
since, service was held in the old St. Paul's.
The thick dust was brushed from its pews
and pulpit/ ancient prayer books were
brought out, and there assembled for wor
ship under its sacred and venerable roof
many of the oldest people of the town, and,
as in the long time ago, the praise of God
was sung and spoken by devout and trem
bling tongues. It was a solemn and affect
ing scene, and will long be remembered.
After the service the doors and windows
were boarded up again, and the old church
left to its decay. During the Revolution,
barracks for American soldiers were estab
lished in the church.
