^tumorous department. A Peculiar Air Cushion.?We were spending the summer of '77 among the White mountains. Prominent among the guests of our hotel was old Mrs. R , of Boston, always prating of her blue blood and old connections, or wearying everyone by appeals to come and assist her in looking for various missing articles which through great carelessness she was invariably mislaying. Judge our dismay when one morning the old lady seated herself in a large mountain wagon that we had engaged to take us on a long day's excursion to Randolph Hill. In vain did we picture to her the fatigues of the drive and discomforts she would meet with?go she would; and from the moment we left the hotel door, the fuss began. "Take care of my eyeAoo?. thou hplnnrrpd t.n mv gioaocj, LLJJT v.w. , j great grandmotherand "May I ask you, my dear, to assist me in disentangling the fringes of my shawl; being left me by a distinguished ancestor, I prize it highly," etc. Finally, on our arrival at Randolph one of the gentlemen stepped forward to assist the old lady to dismount, when we were convulsed by the following : "Take care my dear sir, my air cushion ; oh, what would become of me should that air escape?" "I do assure you, madame," said he, "that I am handling it with great care, but do not distress yourself about it, for should it become necessary, it will give me great pleasure to inflate it for voti." 'T*?, ves," said the old ludy ; "but it would not be the same thing at all, for at present it contains the breath of a very dear friend !"?Philadelphia Press. A Quaker's Dourer-Barreled Pun.?During the acrimonious debate in the national house of representatives, shortly before the war, Mr. Potter, of Wisconsin, made some very sharp strictures on Mr. Pryor, of Virginia. The result was a challenge] from Pryor to fight a duel, which Potter promptly accepted, naming as terms bowie-knives at five paces, terms which he well knew Pryor would not dare accept, as he was a small man, while Potter was a large powerful man, and familiar with the use of the bowieknife. Pryor declined on the ground that the proposed terms were beneath the dignity of a gentleman to accept, and so the matter ended. But on the day following the challenge, while the result was still unknown, both Potter and Pryor were absent at rollcall, aud, when Potter's name was called, a Quaker member rose, and, in a mild voice, said, Mr. Speaker, I am informed that the gentleman from Wisconsin bad a Pryor engagement." And when Pryor's name was called, a moment later, he rose again, saying, "Mr. Speaker, I hear that the gentleman from Virginia has gone to be as clay in the hands of the Potter." A Guest of Honor.?An English actor was a member of a company snowbound in the Sierras while en route from California to the East, says Judge. Before their train was pulled out of the drifts, they had been reduced to eating the coarse fare of the railroad laborers, and got little enough even of that; so that they all had a magnificent hunger when the train reached a small station at which there was a restaurant, and the Englishman was the first to find a seat at the table. "Bring me, in a hurry," he said to the landlord, a burly Western man, "a porterhouse steak, some deviled kidneys, a brace of chops, plenty of vegetables and two bottles of Bass bitter beer." The landlord stuck his head out of the diuingroom door and yelled to somebody in the rear apartment: "Say, Bill! tell the band to play 'Rule Britanuia.' The Prince of Wales has come." Appreciative But Helpless.?E. B. Jack, Roland Reed's manager, is telling this story: "Our show played at Hot Springs last season to a large audience, but at the end of the first act, which is chuck full of fun and specialties, there had not been a sound of applause, either by hand or foot. I was knocked out, and I went to the manager of the house and said, "Well, they don't appear to like us.' 'Oh, yes, they do,' was the replj\ 'Your show has made a big hit.' 'Then why don't they demonstrate it,' I asked, 'by giviug the actors some encouragement in the way of applause ?' 'They all have got the rheumatism,' said he." IST Seldom do those engaged in the work of marrying indulge in a pun during the ceremony, however much they may be tempted to by the names of the happy couple, but a Salt Lake justice of the peace could not lose the opportunity recently offered him. Iu a couple presenting tnemselves for marriage the name of the bridegroom was John Pill. When the justice reached that part of the ceremony where the bride agrees to take the groom for better or worse, instead of the usual formula, he said, "Clara, do you take this Pill ?" To which the bride was heard to respond, "Yes," almost inaudibly.

WatT What we often regard as severe chastisements are like the blow from an angel's hand on Peter, to awaken him for his deliverance from prison. J?" It is in vain to hope to please all alike. Let a man stand with his face in what direction he will, he must necessarily turn his back on one-half the world.

The soul that is alive to God prays as the soul that is alive breathes. Cessation of breathing is evidence of physical death. Cessation of praying is evidence that the soul is dead. Is your soul dead ? S&* Mark Twain is said, by one who knows him well, to be the most miserable of men. He is possessed of a wild, mad fear that ill luck is bound to overtake him aud deprive him of his fortune. It is said that he shed tears of despair when an old $14 cow died a short time ago. SG?~ Among the latest inventions is a door knob which renders a latch key superfluous. By rotating the knob in the same manner as a safe is secured, the door can be opened.

TRUST THE CHILDREN. "My ! Look at the raisins ! Let'f have some." "I'll ask mamma," replied the young host. "Pooh ! She won't let you. Let's help ourselves; that's the way I dc at home, only mamma hides hei raisins." "Hides the raisins ?" "Yes, and the cake and jam, lock? 'em up." "What for?" "Oh, so I can't get 'em, I s'pose." "Why are you a burglar or a thief?' "No, indeed, I guess not; but I love raisins, and mamma knows it." "So do I, and mamma knows it She will give you all you want; but 1 don't meddle with her thiugs, for she trusts me." There was the keynote?one boj was brought up to be trusted, the otner was not. For once he had all the raisins hf wanted, was advised to eat them slowly, and chew them flue before swallowing. Being an inquisitive boy, he asked the why of this, as well as how the mother dared to leave her sweets exposed, adding that his mother hid all her nice things. "Well, my boy," answered the wise woman, that is your fault. She finds she cannot trust you. We lock oui doors agaii)6t thieves, but it's pretty hard if we cannot trust our dear boys. Shpw your mother that you are worthy of confidence, and your goodies will uot be hidden. Ask for them, and il she can spare them she will uot refuse yoq j or if for any special re^on she Cauhot spare them, you should be the last to wish for them. Do you see?" "Don't you ever hide your money or anything ?" "Not from my children. My boy and girl are honest aud obedient. I thought you were so, likewise." "Sodid I; but I guess mamma don't. I wish she did," he added, with a pathetic look. "Let me tell you what to do. You have probably troubled mamma without thinking you were doing wrong, and she has taken this way of keeping " * a you irom lerajuuiioii auu uci^u nuw annoyance. Now, try ray boy's way. Have a faithful talk with mamma ; tell her just how you feel?that you'd like to be worthy of her trust, and would certainly ask her for all you want. Then be careful uot to tease every day, and never, never put your fingers on anything you ought not to touch. Mamma will see that her boy is honest and manly. It will make her very happy, won't it?" "Yes, indeed." "As yon grow older the principle will follow you. You will learn to see things and not want them ; and better still, perhaps, want them, but be strong and upright enough not to even think of them as possibly yours. You will be a true boy and a true man ; every one who deals with you will trust you. It will be worth more to you than raisins now, or any amount of money in the years to come. Try it and stick to it. Why, if I couldn't trust my boy to look at a silly little raisin and be true enougn not to touch it, I should think he was made of poor stuff." "He's the right stuff, I know." 4 "I hope you will be." "Thank you. I will." I arn watching that boy, and I think he will.?Selected. Looking on the Bright Side.?It is not only a wise and happy thing to make the best of life, and always look on the bright side, for one s own sane ; but it is a blessing to others. Fancy a man forever telling his family how much they cost him ! A little sermon od this subject was unconsciously preached by a child one day. A man met a little fellow on the road carrying a basket of blackberries, and said to him, "Sammy, where did you get such nice berries ?" "Over there, sir, in the briers." "Won't your mother be glad to see you come home with a basket of such nice, ripe fruit?" "Yes, sir," said Sammy, "she always seems glad when I hold up the berries, and I don't tell her anything about the briers in my feet." The man rode on. Sammy's remarkhad given him a lesson, and he resolved that henceforth he would try to hold up the berries aud say nothing about the briers. Ashamed to Tell Mother.?"I would be ashamed to tell mother," was a little boy's reply to his comrades, who were persuading him to do wrong. "But you need not tell her; no one will know anything about it." "I would know all about it myself, and I'd feel mighty mean if I couldn't tell mother." "It's a pity you weren't a girl. The idea of a boy running and telling his mother everything!" "You may laugh if you want to," said the noble boy ; "but I've made up my mind, never, as long as I live, to do anything I would be ashamed to tell my mother." Noble resolve, and which will make almost any life true and useful. Let it be the rule of every boy aud girl to do nothing of which they would be ashamed to tell their mother. Let them read no book nor paper that they would be ashamed to show mother. So shall they grow to become noble men and women ; so shall their latter days be crowned with happiness. Wills, Won'ts and Can'ts.? There are many kinds of boys and girls in the world, but there are three kinds which deserve special mention. They have been called the "Wills," the "Won'ts," and the "Can'ts." The "Wills" accomplish everything, the "Won'ts" oppose everything, and the "Can'ts" fail in everything. ahc ^toni (feller. MR. RASPBERRY'S RUSE. 3 . i BY MAKY KYLK DALLAS. ? ' "To see my friends mourn for me afs ter I am dead would be the most ) charming emotion I could experience." Mr. Raspberry used often to say 1 this to his valet, and the valet always answered 3 "La, sir; you couldn't do it, sir, you know ; because after folks is expired, why, they air removed from this wale of tears, sir. I think?begging par1 don, sir?that it would be an uuhuppis ness." "No, no, Perkins," said Mr. Ra'sp. berry; "no, no, you don't understand [ these liner feelings." This was before Mr. Raspberry's wedding, and for a year after this cer' emouy Perkins had beard nothing of s the formerly often expressed wish. But one winter morning, as Mr. ' Raspberry read the account of a dread ful railroad accident, he said again, as though he bad never left off: "How delightful it would be to see I one's friends mourn for one!" This time Perkins answered : "But the missus would take on so." i I "The very thing," said Mr. R. "Perkins, can you keep a secret ?" 1 ! "Inwaluate," said Perkins who was prone to the use of words but vaguely 1 understood?"inwaluate." "'in IJ.?>> 'i "J lien, i riiwun, auiu mi. nua|ii/cu "I ara going to nuet with a railway accideut." "Gracious!" said Perkins. "It'6 all arranged," said Mr. Raspberry." J "I)G&r me, sir, I hope not, sir," said J ? Perkins. "I'm to be put at the head of the list ' of killed," said Raspberry. "A reporter s I know has promised to do it. On an 1 average there's an accident once a week?the next one I'm to be in." < "Beg pardon, sir?won't it be susin- ' cide?" asked Perkins. "I don't mean to be killed," said * Raspberry ; "only reported so." ( "La !" said Perkins, "but poor young missus?" 1 i "The very thing," said Raspberry. "I am much older than she is?20 I years." He was 45. "And I should like to see bow she would morn for I rae after I was gone, if it should be 1 my fate to go first. I shall bid her adieu as though going upon n journey, and then hide myself in these.rooms 1 of mine. When the- accident occurs ? and she sees the paper, I'll take care to be at hand. My nephew, Julius, I- J - - 1 4 , will grieve, loo. l ve oeen iiHiiiigein to him, and she will break her little < heart." "Yes, sir; but, sir, won't she be an- i gry when she finds out it's a hoax?" i asked Perkins. "She shall never find it out," said ' Raspberry, "never. I'll tell her it 1 was a false report. That I was 011 the ' train, but escaped." 1 "Yes, sir," said Perkins, doubtfully, and brushed his master's hair iu a ' thoughtful manner. 1 Remonstrance was in his eye, but I his master cared nothing for that. He ' had determined on his course of con- ' duct. That very day he went through a ' little drama of his own concoction, received a letter, declared that urgent 1 business required his presence in an- s other city, packed a valise, wrapped < himself up in a shawl, bade adieu to 1 his wife, and jumped into a cab at the I door. ' At midnight he was secretly assist- ' ed to re-enter the house by a back win? dow, and repaired to his dressing 1 room secretly provisioned as for a siege 1 with potted meats, canned fruit and 1 nttiar /lolimtiMoa hv thp rW't.ive PerkillS. * U""V' UV1.V-V.VM "J There he remained lor at least a I week before Perkins, glancing over the 1 morning paper, saw a list of the killed and wounded in great black letters on ? the front page, with Mr. Royal Raspberry's name at the head thereof. ' Then Perkins's heart quailed. * "It's too bad for missus," he said. I "If she is sorry, it may half kill her. i If she isn't, she'll pay for it. I'll tell her, and if I go for it I hope I'll find a 1 master with more hair to fix and less anxious to have it done various and becoming." Then Perkins took the paper and walked into his lady's sitting room. "Please'm," he said, "I've something to tell you?don't be alarmed? it's about master." "Oh, Perkins!" cried the lady. "Oh, Perkins! you've got the newspaper? What is it? Oh! oh! oh!" "It ain't nothin' of that natur'," said Perkins. "Master is alive and well, and upstairs, eating potted shad and crackers." "When di<l he come?" asked the wife, "and what do you mean by shutting the door ?" "Perkins," cried Mr. Raspberry's nephew, Julius, "if you have anything to leu, out wun u ; uon u siauu mur i alarming us. My dear uncle is not ill?" ' He will be if he eats much more I shad," said Perkins. "But he's well at present, but he's too morantic. He's attemptin' to harrer up your feelings. Iu p'int of fact, in order to see you j mourn for him, he's hiding upstairs, while he's reported squashed in this , here railroad accident. It's a dretful one. He paid a reporter to put him in, l mum, the first that happened." ] "Don't show me the dreadful thing," ( said Mrs. Raspberry. "Oh, how could . Royal be so very heartless?how could he? No matter, I'll punish him, and ' I'll not betray you, either. Tell Mr. 1 Raspberry I have the news, and let < him spy upon me when he pleases." . "Yes, ma'am," said Perkins. "She's got it, sir," said Perkins, 10 minutes after. "It was carried in." "Ah, ha!" said Raspberry. "Now I shall see what grief my demise will cause. Julius is there?" "Yes, sir," said Perkins. And Raspberry, in slippered feet, repaired to a peep bole prepared be forehand in a door panel. All was silence. "She is lying in a swoon upon the floor," thought Raspberry, with a qualm of conscience. But in a moment he saw the lady smiling and beating time, to an air she hummed, with the folded newspaper. "She has not read it yet," thought Raspberry. "How delightful! I shall see the whole." He applied his eye more closely to , the aperture. Just then the lady spoke. "If all we read is true, we are rid of him." "Yes, the old stupid !" said Mr. Julius. I suppose he;s left you everything ?" "I hope so," said the lady. "I shall go into deep mourning and a cap?the style becomes me?and I shall be a dashing young widow a.- soon hs I dare. I hate beiug mewed up here. I shall travel to the watering places und enjoy myself." "Good Heaven !" moaned Mr. Rasp berry. "What do I hear?" "And I will accompany you," said Julius. "Certuinly," said the lady. "And you need uot call me aunt any more." "fCever inrain." said Julius: "but hv a dearer name soon." "Oh, no away ! Don't. It's improper so soon," said the lady. "I shall die," said Mr. Raspberry. "Oh, I shall die in earnest." But rage and curiosity rooted him to the spot. Julius had sunk on his knees before Mrs. Raspberry, and taken her hand. "You will be mine?" he said. "Oh, yes, Julius," said Mrs. R.r "but for form's sake we ought to attend Mr. R.'s remains." "Bother !" said Julius. "Since they have smashed the old fellow let them sweep him away and finish it. What 1o we want of bim ?" Then horrible words broke the spell ;iust upon Mr. Raspberry ; he dashed the door open, and darted forward. "You'll find me more difficult to jwcep away than you imagine," he cried. "Perjured woman, false and wicked Julius, behold me and dread my vengeance!" Then Mr. Raspberry shook both his Gsts and lifted them heavenward, at which . Mrs. Raspberry laughed more heartily. "You can laugh?you," he cried. "Yes I," said Mrs. Raspberry ; "and when next yoj get up a little farce, remember that other people may be nble to du likewise. For one rehearsal Julius and I have done very well. Now, sir, beg my pardon for trying to iJarm me. You ought to be ashamed jf yourself." "Then you?you knew !" gasped Mr. Raspberry. "Oh, Adelaide, tell me you knew !" "I certainly knew," said Mrs. Ii., 'and prepared a little surprise for you. [f, instead, you had seen me drop dead jpon the floor you would have beeu happy, cruel man J" "Thank Heaven !" said Mr. Raspjerry, sinking into a chair. "You ilmost killed me, Adelaide?how could i fou ? And, Julius?ah. I suffered too I nuch. SweeD me awav ! As a joke it was bad enough, but iu earnest?" Then Mrs. Raspberry coudescended 1 o offer her lips to Mr. Raspberry, and Mr. Raspberry consented to receive he proffered furgivenes, though he still looked doubtfully at Julius, and lomestic felicity was restored by the irrival of a hot dinner, which, after ,he cold refreshments of the past week, was highly acceptable to Mr. Raspjerry. ' But, Perkins," said Mr. R., as his ! t'alet performed his next toilet. "But, Perkins, I will never try to play a trick J ipon a woman again. I'm not sharp ;nougb for them. If I had really been J <il!ed she would have grieved, eh, Perkins?" I "Undoubtedly, sir," said Perkins; i md Mr. Julius, too, sir." But for all that, Nephew Julius was 1 sent out to Paris as correspondent for j in importing house, very shortly, and < found, ou his uncle's death that his J iame was not remembered iu the will.
