You need write but a ai ogle letter Hi make Mary, marry. The man who would not die in spring-time may ho kilted by a .jjfall. Farmers Imre learned that it takes the best of soil to rn i-u- a mortgage. Temperance reformers should turn their attention to mouey ; it Is always tight. “I wish Sally," said Jotinthan, "that you were locked in uiy arms and the key lest. A man who cannot mind his own business is not fit to bo entrusted with other people's. A child, wanting to describe u snake, said it was “a thing ail tail— clear up to the head.” Why are balloons in the nir like vagrants? Because they liuvo no visible means of support. A great many men are cottage built; that is they have but one story. And they are forever tilling it. A woman who has four sons all - sailors, compares herself with a year because she has four sea sons. Ttie dog days are now over, but the cats will continue to claim ull the nights the remainder of the year. A lazy fellow lying down on the grass, said: “Oh how 1 do wish that this was called work and well paid for.” An Irish lover remarked that it was « great comfort to he alone, "especially when your swale heart is wid you.” It has been said that it most he easy to break into an old man’s house, because his gait is broken and his locks are few. It is tho lice and the mule which are too tender-hearted to look upon suffering. They always turn their backs when they strike. A man is astonishing the people of Milwaukie by walking on water, he wears shoes resembling coffins, and goes three miles an hour at a wsinging gait. It strains a young man more to havo a 140 pound girl to sit on his knee fifteen minutes than it does to load hay all day, hut he is perfect ly willing to be strained. “Ice-water”coolers are advertised but why should any one want an ice-water cooler ? Ice-water is cool enough. What the people want in summer is a warm-water cooler. — - . A lightning rod agent was struck by lightning the other day, and the phenomenon ran only he account ed for on the theory that the electric fluid got tired of being lied about. A curate having been overhauled by his bishop for attending u ball, : tho former replied: “Sir, I wore a mask.” “Oh, well,” returned the i bishop, “that puts a new face on ! the affair.” They were at a dinner party, and ' he remarked that he supposed she ' was fond of ethnology. - She said yes, but she was not very well, and the doctor had toll! her not to eat anything for de.-ert but oranges, '■ ■ A wag who thought to have a joke at the expense of an Irish pro vision-dealer suid : “Can you sup ply me with a yard of pork?” “Pat,” said tho dealer to his assistant, ‘give this gentleman three pig's feet,” “I wonder, uncle,” said the little girl, "if men will ever yet live to be 600 or 1,000 years old?” “No, my child,responded the old man ; “that was tliod once, and the race grew so bad that the world had to he drowned.” A married lady who was in the habit of spending most of her time in the society of her neighbors, hap pened to be taken ill, and sent her husband in great haste for a physi cian. The husband run a short distance, and then returned, ex claiming, "My dear! where shall I iiid you when I come buck ?” HOME AND FAIIM.

Doubt of It. “Du you really i«el>cve that an ass ever spoke to IS il am ?” queried a man who prided himself on his intellewt. Coleridge, to whom tho question was pul, reflected: “My friend, I have no doubt whatever that the story *true.

They | have contract, d the habit of hiking a discouraging look at everything. ! What time they do not spend la j meriting ever the unadulterated j past they devote to tho appn lihii | sion of evils *o corns, - Consistent Asking. It is surely scarcely necessary to j say further, what the holy teachers jof ull nations have invariably con j eurred in showing, that faithful ■ prayer implies always correiutiue exertion ; and that no man can ask honestly or hopefully to he deliver ed from temptation, unless lie has himself honestly and firmly dote.- inineil to do the host he can to keep out of it.— Uu.il,in. lire best of all Tilings, The Christianity which is a di vine life a divine inspiration, and a divine hope, is so inexpressibly dear to so many people, it is such a help to them in the struggle with their grosser natures, it gives to life and death so stupendous a meaning it. is such a comfort in trouble and j sorrow and burden-hearing, that we Should need to be inhuman not I to regard the efforts aimed at its ! overthrow n* aimed at the dearest j interests of the human race. To; j pretend that an infidel’s opinion are sacred to him in any such way j as Christianity is sacred to a Chris ! tirui, is to trifle most inexcusably with holy things.— Scribner's Month ly- Oi asking. Is the world getting worse? It has always been full of croakers Many have seen that it was going to the bad with lightning speed. Perhaps if it is in anv respect worse than in former times, allowing for the greater number of people in it, the chief element in its present sad condition is that we have an un I ; usually large suppl y ofcrmikers and I despondent* just now, and that they croak louder than ever. It is insisted that there are more infidels, skeptics, heretics, more men and women of loose morality, more crimes, mure genera’ demur,iliza j tion than ever before, and more ev I i il of every kind now rampant. We ! j do not credit, these In-wailings. The i world is bird enough, but it bus til- | ways been full of sin and crime. - j We hear more about it in our day; that, qjakes the chief difference Interior. llow to (Jet Flesh. How is a very thin lady, weigh ing but little more than a hundred pounds, to become more fleshy ? j There is no rule applicable alike to I all conditions and constitutions. A person may come of a lean and bony race, hut she may try. Omit vinegar, Unions, soda, pickles, and j the like. Avoid an exclusively 1 meat diet, late hours, and all violent exercise. Wit milk, vegetables and farinaceous Mod, and eat regularly once ir. four or six hours. Go to bed always at an early hour on a wellfilled stomach. Leave off cor sets, heavy clothing hanging to the hips, and light shoes. Fear God. keep his commandments, and spend • the chief part of every day in useful 1 industry. If this does not increase f the flesh, nothing will do it that we know of. Kaowitrg How to laud. Mr. Moody is a natural leader, put him where you will. He sees what is to lie done, how it cun be done in the best wav, and directs one to do it. All the details of the meetings are carrii d out io the most adurruble manner. As an illuslra tration of the fee’ing among the guests, r lady from a distance said to me yesterday: I dm’i under- KM»ud it; my nu.bruitl anil I never Mr. Moiiil* tii-foro, iitiri h* hud ' never heaid of u*.
