At a late Baptist anniversary, at Chi

'1 hey have no law in flic .South now to

A widower of three months, over fifty
year?, wished to marry a young lady of
twenty-four, but being a member of tho
church, wished the approbation of tho
members, and called upon the deacon.—
He told the deacon that he was going to
marry from a sense of duty—that having
property he felt he ought to give some
one a home. The deacon thought tho
lady in question bad a good home already,
and if that was his object simply, he had
better marry Aunt L., who was old, poor
and infirm, with a family cf children on
her hands. The widower left without
being able to see the matter in that light.
The editor of the Charloftsville (Va.)
Chronicle says he slept in a room with a
farmer the other night, who kept such a
grunting that he asked him whether he
had the tooth ache. “No,” he said, “but
he was afraid the wheat would rust.”
