Tiie Editor Axdtiie Fortune Tth iee.—•A Kentucky -edifof visits!-*-for tune teller roctntly. lib iriftkci the-fol lowing report of eonoerO ing the past and future: ffTbo* hast served three years in the for a horse thou didst not steal. Thoa will be governor of the State, and after wards decline a sratin the,United States Senate A wealthy jmmg lady, with blue hair, auburn eyes, ant l very beauti ful, is now about to graduate from th« , House of' Correct ion, whom tho» wilt 1 marry as soon as thy present wife dleaj, | which will be at (he fourth full of 'tfte'' ! next tnoon. r rhon wilt become possessed of this lady’s wcafth and elope with the wife of a coal-boat engineer. Thou wiTt go to New Orleans and start a keho bant, which will bring thcc in great riches.— After an absence of nieteeir years tbou wilt return to thy repining wild, Isy thy 1 princely fortune at her feet, be forgiven, ! and alter raising a family of nineteen [ children, die happy, at the age of nincty | nine.” Ax amusing incident occurred in one of our down-cast churches a few years ago. The clergyman gave out the hymn:. “I love to steal awhile away from every cumbeni)g care, and spend the hour of I setting day in humbly grateful prayer. n I The regular chorister being abseut, tha ' duty devolved upon good old Deacon M. ; who commenced, “I love to steal,” and then broke down, liaising his voiee to a slill higher pitch, he sang “I love to steal;” and, as before, he concluded be ; had got the wrong pitch, and deploring lie had not got his pitch tuner, ho deter mined to succoed if he died in tlio at i tempt. ]>y this time all the old ladies ! were tittevi g behind their fans, whist the faces or the young ones were a}l in a i broad grin. At length, af'er a desperate cough, he made a final demonstration ! and roared out, “I love to steal.” This j effort was too ranch. Every one but the ) godly and eccentric parson was laughing, i lie arose and with the uttuuat coolness said, “Seeing our brother's propensities, let us pray.” It is needless to say that but few of the congregation heard the | prayer. A Chicago paper says; 'AVe took a : new reporter on Inal yesterday. Us went ont to hunt items, and after being i away all day, returned with the following, which he said was the best he could do: ! “Yesterday we saw a sight that froze our muscles with horror, A hackman, driving down Clark street at a rapid pace, came very near running over a nur.-o and two children. There would have been one of the most heart-remjing eatastrophies ever recorded, had not the nurse, with wondetful forethought, left the children at home before she went out, and provi dentially stepped into a drug store just before the hack passed. Then, too, the hackman, just before reaching the cross ing, thought of something he had forgot ton, and turning about drove in the op posite direction. Had it not been for this wonderful concurrence of favoring circumstances, a doting father, a loving mother, and affectionate brothers and sis ters, would have been plunged in the I deepest woe and most ultcrablc funeral I expenses.’ The new reporter will be retained.” Can’t Surrom - Himself. —The fol lowing Las been handed us as the ver batim conversation of two blacks on Thursday: Ed.—Say .Jo", what is dat oaf do peo ple have to take when dey register? Joe. —“You is sworn to support the United States.” When he was interrup ted by Ed. saying: How du h—ll is I gwino to sport de whole United States when I can’t sport myself? And if dat is de case ise gwine to leave the United States.— Columbus Sun. The last Brooklyn Union vouches for the truth of the following: In Brooklyn last Tuesday night, a young lady resi ding at No. 45 I’rinco street, refused to go to rest in her bed room, on the ground that she had a presentiment that thero was danger of some kind threatening her while she was in that room. She accor dingly slept in another part of the house. In a course of a storm that night, the lightning entered the bed room and shiv ered to atoms the bed in which she usual ly slept. A cioss and grained wife is for her husband what a heavy 1 urden is for an aged man. A good and gentle wife, oa the contrary, is a crown of gold for her husband. Every time he looks at her his heart and his eyes rejoice. An exchange paper says there is a young lady in their town so modest that she will not allow the Christian Obsetv er to remain in her room over night. A Western editor has placed ove*his marriages a cut representing a large trap, sprung, with this motto: “The trap down—another ninny caught.” MiscellaXY. —One of the editors of a New Orleans paper, soon after begin ning to learn the printing business, went to court a preacher’s daughter. The next time he attended meeting ho was taken down at hearing the minister an nounce as bis text: “My daughter >is grievously tormented with a ‘devil.”
