A Tough Stoky. —Wc overheard me follow*
ing, some time ago, which was considered by
the listeners to be “lough,” especially when
it is Known that the hcio could not be tempt
ed “to lie.” One gentleman was telling of a '
hen’s nest that he constructed with a “trap
door” in the bottom which the weight of an
egg would open. This being placed on a bttr
rol, “the biddie,” after laying ore. looked
for it, and finding nothing, laid ap her, and
so continued for several hours.
“Oh, that is nothiug,” says our friend,
down east, “my father made a nest of (ha{
kind and placed it, with the hen upon it. over
a hogshead and she laid it. full of e.:crs- Tho
next, day ho seta dead hen upon the nest and,
hatched every egg in two weeks.”
“And every egg hatched two chickens,”
said a bystander, thinking to add a good SO*
quel to his story,
“No they didn’t,” said Jonathan; ‘"you
needn’t try To make me lie, for y-ou can’t,”

generation,” says aline writer, “have felt ag

our own. They passed like a vapor, while
nature wore the same aspect of beauty as
when her Creator commanded her to be.—,
They will have tho same attraelions for our
offspring yet unborn, that she had once for
us ns children. Yet a little while and all
will have happened. Throbbing hearts

funeral shall find Its way, and prayer will bo

darkness for the worms- And it may be for
a short time we shall be spoken of, but the
things of life will creep in, and our namc3
will socn be forgotten. Days will continue
to move on, and laughter and song will bo
heard in the room which ho died; and eyes
that mourned for us will be dried, and glist
en again with joy ; and even our children
will cease to think of us and will not remem
ber to lisp our names.”
Tnn Local Editor as a Legislator.—A
New Haven local editor has been sent to the
Connecticut Legislature, whereat nn ex
change discourses as follows .- 1
“fFo should like to look in upon him when
betakes bis seat there for the first time.—
There would be a malicious pleasure in yel
ling ‘copy’ at him. Wouldn’t he start though?
Ten to one he would grab his hat and hurry
after an item. If a member should request
him to notice what he was saying, he couldnt
notice it short of the usual rates, one dollar
a line. It, would be some time before he
pould keep his ic it when a fire-bell rang.—
He would find himself going to the police
siation of morning, and hanging around the
courthouse. If at any time, a lobby man
should slip a roll of greenbacks into his han.d
he should whisper, “certainly—l understand
—a first rate notice.”
A .Se 1 ious Question. —ifavo you
made one heart happy to-day? llow
calmly can you seek your pillow, how
sweetly sleep? In all this world thera
is nothing so sweet as giving comfort to
the distressed. Many sighs and tears
are caused by our own thoughtlessness.—
How many a daughter wrings the soul
of a fond mother by acts of unkindness
and ingratitude ? llow many husbands,
by one little word, make a whole day of
sad hours sod-unkind thoughts? llow
many wives, by angry recriminations,
many brothers and sisters meet but to
injure and vex each other, making wounds
that no human heart can heal ? But if
each one worked upon the maxim of stri
ving to make some heart happy—jeal
ousy, revenge, madness, hate, with
their kindred evil associates, would for
ever leave the earth.
. Two darkies met the other day, era
rather more refined than tho other :
“Good morning, nigger.”
‘‘You musn’t say so, for wc arc net
