Sure, Biddy, my girl, it's no joke f<ir a ganius To walk all the day 'neath a bothsrin' hod, Aad thin, in the night, serynade a young Vauiou8j Chine up to hi? knees, in tho muddy ould sod. I'm dyia' wid rapture, my jewel of cr?iuro?, And uiver a b.vyer more wiltioglj bowled ; B it don't yet let icorn wr'n.klo up your sw: to tatures, Because your poor IViddy hus got such a owld.

The clerk very oblingly read thc list, the Teuton listening with trembling at tention, wiping the perspiration from his brow meanwhile, in great excitement. When the list was completed, th? name of Carl (Jeinsen-, well, no matter about the whole name, it wasn't there. The Teuton's face brightened np. and he exclaimed : " You don't find 'cm ?"

A strong exhorta tion had been delivered by a speaker present, and the President requested the Secretary to pass around thc pledge for si?!iitures, and taking from his pocket what he supposed was the document, he. without looking at it, gave it to thc Sec retary for that purpose. A large hum ber of ?ames were enrolled of both ladies and gentlemen, present, and the document returned. It was observed by the Secre tary, while passing around thc paper, that considerable tittering was to be ob served among the ladies, who took the precaution to read the contents of tho pu per, while.those who did not read it, and desired lo sign, did so. After going through the congregation, thc Secretary, on his way back, looked at the paper to see whai was the cause of the amusement, when it was revealed to him that, instead of the temperance pledge, he had passed arounc and received signatures to a documeni setting forth the pedigree of a eelebratec stallion. A GEORGIA WIDOW.-An anecdote ii related by a certain' Squire, which pro ceeds as follows : " Oh !" said thc' Squire " I wish I was married and well out of it I dread it powerful. Td like" to marry ? widow. I allers liked widows, once know'd one down in Georgia, that suitec my ideas adzactly. About a week aftei her husband died, she started down to fh< graveyard, whar they planted him, anc she read the prescription on to the monu ment. When she gob there she stood : looking at the stones which was put a each end of the grave, with an epitaph 01 'em that the minister had writ for her Then she burst out, " Oh! h-o-o !" say? she, 'Jones was the best of men. I re member how the last time he come home about a week ago, he bro't down iron town some sugar and a little tea, anc some store goods for me, and lots of lit tie necessaries, a little painted boss foi Jeems, which that blessed little child goi his mouth all yaller with sucking of it and then he kissed the children all round and took down that good old fiddle o his'n, and played up that good old tune " Rake her down, Sal, Oh rang-dang diddle. Oh ! rang-dang diddle, dang, dang, da." " When a man walks in the sun, if hil fice be towards it, he has nothing befon him but; the bright shining light agd com for table heat ; but let him once turn hit back to the sun, what has he before him then but a shadow ? yea, it is but to be hold his own shadow, defrauding himsel of the other. Thus there is no true wis dom, no true happiness, no real comfort but in beholding the countenance of God Look from that, and we lose these bless ?rigs; and what shall we gain ? and whal shall we gain ? a shadow, au empty im age ; instead of a subtantial good, to gah' the empty image of ourselves, and lose the solid image of God. Yet this is the common folly of the world. Men prefer this shadow before that substance ; where as there is not the least appearance ol any true comfort but in God only.-Au gustine. CALVES.-On the subject of " calves," thc editor of the Richmond Humming Bird is musical as follows : Domest ic animals generally seem to be doing well this spring. The last few windy days have be?n particularly faverable for the development of " calves." There have |>erhaps been no periods in thc histo ry of this city where so many of them have been seen in the street. They most ly go m pairs. While many1 of them are quite sliiii and gaunt ; this spring, others appear remarkably large and thrifty, and we are informed that in. many cas?s have nearly doubled their size itv a single night. To a city bred young gentleman no branch of 8tocfc-growing is so peculiary interest ing as thi.'. variety of live stock. ff?gf Wagg went to the station of one of the railroads one evening, and finding the best* car full, said in a low tone, "why this car isn't going." Of course these words couttetl a general stampede, and Wagg took tho best ?eat. In the midst of the indignation the wag was question* ed J * You sa!d this car wasn't going V* " Well* it :iisn't te," replied ?-Wagft " but it is now,"-Iu*diana Journal The irishman anti his Three Wives. " And you have been married, Patrick, three ti:nos, havn't you ?" " Vc?*, iiuladu sir.': '. And what do you say of -it ? which wife did you like the best.1?" ' ? u WeitJ Becky o'Brine, that I married the first'time, was a good woman-too good for nie ; so she got sick and died, ?nd the Lord took her." "Then ? got marked to Bridget.Fin negan. She wa* a md. .woman ; and/she got sick and died, too,.and the devil took her. Then-fool that I was-? got mar ried to Margaret l?aggarty. She "was worse, bad, very b id-so bad that nei ther the Lord nor the devil would have her, sb I have got td keep her myself. A Avounm says what she chooses, -with out being knocked down for it. She can. take a snooze after dinner, while her hus band ijoes to work. She can go into the street without being ask to M stand ti eat at cvciy saloon. She can stay at homo in time of war, and get married nguiu if her husband is killed. She can get divorc ed from, her husband whenever she sees one she likes better. She can get her hu-iband in debt all over until he warns the public not to trust her on his account. But all these advan tug s are balanced by the givat fact that sl.e cunnot sing ba<s, g.i sparking, or climb a tree with any de gree o.''propriety. DON'T BK A LOAFLR.-Young man, pay ?mention. Don't be a loafer; don't call yourself a loiter; don't keep a loafer's company ; don't hangabout l?&fing places. Better Work than ?it around day after dav, ur stand about corners with your pockets. Better for your own health - Detter for your own pro.-pects. Bustle about, f you mean to ha/e anything to hustle about for. Many a poor physician has obtained a real patient by riding after ?ii imaginary one. A quire of blank pa per, tied with a red tupe, cai ried under a lawyer's arm. may procure him his first case, and make his fortune. Such is the world ; to hint that hath shall be given. Quit dreaming and complaining ; keep busy and mind your chances. -?. -#~ ? -. Too OLD FOR THAT THAI*.-A paper tells the following wolf story, on the au thority of a veteran hunter, named Thomas Gray :-M A farmer, living near the Adams County line, found seven wolf pups in a hollow log. Ile dug a hole at the end of the log that was open, placed a trap in it, and covered it over with dirt. Fearing that the wolf, when caught by thc foot or leg, would gnaw it off and escape, he, with a companion, determined to watch during the night, and slay it as soon as captured. During the night, the lather of the intcrcstir.f; family in the lng would come itpclose lo where the watchers were stationed, when the dogs they had with them would run Elim off a .-hort dis tance, and then return. Presently the wolf would return, when they would chase.hi m off again. This was kept up during the night at frequent intervals. The watchers, hearing an occasional squall from the pups, visited the trap, but found everything as they bad left it. In the morning, however, an examination showed the log empty, and every pup grmo, and the trap unsprung. While tho old fellow was amusing the dogs. Madam Wolf had, by gnawing and clawing, opened a hole through tho side of lilt log. large enough to remove the little ones, and carry them oil', traveling fourteen mile.; in so doing. The dogs, being put on the track, soon found them over a mile distant from whence they were taken nicely covered up with leaves by the side of a log." VALUABLE TABLE LEOS.-A youngman went from New York city to the West, where he commenced business on his own account, and married. His friends in thc city were interested in his welfare, and when a merchant was about to journey to the place where the young man had located, he was requested to visit thc emigrant and ascertain how he lived and what sort of a woman he had chosen, his prospects, etc. Accordingly the New Yorker ascertained the residence of his young friend and called upon him quite early in the morning. He found him ii: a small, neat cottage, and just taking hi: breakfast. The introduction of the New Yorker to his wife was quite off-hand anc unceremonious, and he was tequested tc be seated and partake of thc morning |.mcal. The young wife had prepared thc steak, biscuit and cofl'ce with her own hands, and for a table had used her knead ing board, over which a napkin was spread, and thc t; board'' placed on hei lap. The New Yorker declined a scat al the table and look his leave. On making the report to his New York friends as tc how he found h?3 young friend living, h( described thc style as " magnificent !T and if ho were the owner of thc young man's furniture he would not take ten thousand dollars for the h'gs of his table ! (KT A well-dressed fe low, the other day, walking into a room where they were talking politics, and stretching himsell to his full hight, exclaimed in a loud voice. : ? " Where is a radical ? Show me a rad ical, and I'll show you a liar !" In an instant one of them exclaimed. " I am a radical sir !" " You are ?" " Yes, sir, I am." " Well, just you step around the cor ner with me, and I'll show you a fellow who said a radical could r ot be found in the ward. Ain't he a liar ?" Fresh Arrivals FROM New York!
