Humorous fcprtmrut.
Why he Left.?Mr. Dickson, a colored
barber in one of our New England towns,
was shaving one of his customers, a respectable
citizen, one morning, when a conversation
occurred between the two, respecting Mr.
Dickson's former connection with the colored
church in that place :
"I believe you are connected with the
church in Elm street, Mr. Dickson," said the
customer.
"No, sah, not at all."
"Why, are you not a member of the African
church V*
"Not dis year, sah."
"Why did you leave that communion, Mr.
Dickson, if I may be permitted to ask ?"
"Why, I tell you, sah," said Mr. Dickson,
stropping a concave razor on the palm of his
hand. "It was jess like dis?I jined that
church in good faith. I gib ten dollars toward
the stated preachin' ob de gospel de fust
year, and de people call me Brudder Dicksou.
De second year my business was not berry
good, and I only gib five dollars. Dat year
de church people call me Mr. Dickson. Dis
razor hurt you, sah ?"
"No, sir, it goes tolerably well."
"Well, sah, de third year I feel bery poor?
sickness in my family?and I gib nothing for
preachin'. Well, sah, after dat, dey call me
old Nigger Dickson an' I leff 'em."
So saying, Mr. Dickson brushed his customer's
hair, who was well satisfied with the
reason why Mr. Dickson left the church.

The Philosopher and the Ferryman.
A philosopher stepped on board a ferryboat
to cross a stream; on the passage he enquired
of the ferryman if he understood arithmetic.
The man looked astonished. "Arithmetic ?
No, sir; never heard of it before." The philosopher
replied, "I am very sorry; for one
quarter of your life is gone." A few minutes
after, he asked the ferryman, "Do you know
anything of mathematics?" The boatman
smiled and and replied, "No." "Well, then,"
said the philosopher, "another quarter of your
life has gone." A third question was asked
the ferryman ; "Do you understand astronomy
?" "Oh ! no, no; never heard of such a
thing." "Well, my friend, then another
quarter of your life is gone." Just at this
mnnipnf. the hnat ran nn a rock, and was
sinking, when the ferryman jumped up, pulled
off his coat, and asked the philosopher with
great earnestness of manner, "Sir, can you
swim?" "No," said the philosopher. "Well,
then," said the ferryman, "your whole life is
lost; for the boat is going to the bottom."
Not Entirely Complimentary.?An
engineer on the Pacific Railroad tells the following
story of himself: "One night while
the train stopped to wood and water, I observed
two green looking countrymen in 'home
spun,' curiously inspecting the locomotive,
and occasionally giving vent to expressions
of astonishment. Finally one of them looked
up at me and said: 'Stranger, are this a
locomotive?' 'Certainly. Didn't you never
see one before ?' 'No, haven't saw one afore.
Me'n Bill come down to the station to-night
purpose to see one. Them's the biler, ain't
it?' 'Yes, certainly.' 'What yer call that
you're in ?' 'We call this the cab.' 'And
this wheel? 'That's the driving wheel.'
'That big thing on the top is the chimbly, I
suppose?' 'Precisely.' 'Beyou the engineer
who runs the machine ?' 'I am the engineer.'
'Bill,' said the fellow to his mate, after eyeing
him closely for a few minutes, 'it don't take
much of a man to engineer, does it?' All
aboard!"
. +
A Neat Hit.?Two well-known clergymen
were conversing when one startled the other
by abruptly asking:
"Brother G., is it possible that you chew
tobacco ?"
"I must confess I do," the other quietly replied.
"Then I would quit it, sir," the old gentleman
energetically continued, "It's a very unclerical
practice, and, I must say, a very uncleanly
one. Tobacco! Why,sir, even a hog
would not chew it."
"Father C.," responded his amused listener,
"do you chew tobacco?"
"I? No, sir!" he answered, gruffly, with
much indignation.
"Then, pray, which is most like the hog,
you or I ?"
The old doctor's fat sides shook with laughter,
as he said:
"Well, I have been fairly caught this time."
flnT When old Mrs. Maxwell, of Bethlehem,
died, her family and friends gathered at her
bed-side in terrible anguish, weeping and
moaning. Her niece stood by her and held
her hand, and, as the lamp of life flickered
before it was finally extinguished, she said to
her: "Is there anything that we can do to
make your dying moments happier? Have
you any unfulfilled wish, auy cherished design,
which we can carry out? Shall we do
anything for you when you are gone?" Mrs.
Maxwell turned her face toward her niece,
and with a faltering voice, said: "Mariar,
don't give none of them preserved plums to
William Henry. They always disagreed with
his stomach." Then her freed spirit took its
eternal flight.
ftaT A malicious youth hung a set steel-trap
over the strap with which his papa sometimes
saluted him. The worthy man soon had occasion
to go for the strap, and it required the
united efforts of his wife, the cook, and his
eldest daughter to release his hand from the
vengeful clasp of the trap. It so far suggested
the real author that the boy now looks as
if a cupping machine had been applied to
every available portion of his tender frame.
"Now, my young friends, suppose 12
men buy 24 bushels of wheat to be divided
equally, how many bushels is that for each ?"
Boldest of the boys?"Please, sir, we've not
gone that far." "How is that? Your teacher
told me you had learned all of the first
four rules." Boy?"Yes, sir, but we have always
done our sums in potatoes or turnips?
we have never had wheat."
Bay One of our well known Irish citizens,
the other day, wa3 on the witness stand, and
one of the counsel had occasion to suggest to
him that he was talking too much, when he
replied, "I am not talking any more than you
are, sir." "Yes," replied our legal friend,
"but I am licensed to talk." "You are?"
said Pat. "Well, and I'm sworn to talk!"
A gentleman who had left his wife alone
.1 .1 . 1 !. I X ...i. A. _._X _
in the tneatre wnne ne went out to get a
whiff of fresh air, "apologized" on his return.
"Dear me," said she, "I thought you went to

the loveley black moustache." She has had
no cause to complain of any want of attention
from her husband since.

J6T A wealthy but miserly old mau, dining
in the city one day with his son at a restaurant,

THE HOLY SPIRIT.
It is clearly taught in the Scriptures that j
there are three persons in the God-head. To
distinguish these persons, the one from the !
other, and also from the relation which they
bear to each other, they are called by the
names, Father, Sou and Holy Ghost. Each j
of these three persons is divine, and all of
them are possessed of equal power and glory.
How three can be oue aud one three is a mystery.
Without a special revelation, the human
mind canuot comprehend it. There is
no attempt made in the Scriptures to explain
it. The fact is stated, and nothing more.
There is nothing in creation like it; hence,
there is nothing by which it can be illustrated.
So long as we remain in the flesh, the
doctrine of the trinity in unity, and unity in
trinity, must be a matter of pure faith. In j
the creation of the world, and in the preser- j
vation of the world, each person of the liodhead
is equally concerned. In the work of
man's redemption, each is equally interested,
and to each equal honor and glory will accrue.
Whilst, however, the work of man's
redemption may with propriety be ascribed
to tbe united God-head, still each person performs
a particular part of that mighty undertaking.
God, the father and first person
of the trinity, occupies the position of judge.
He sits on the throne of righteousness with
the sword of justice in his omnipotent hand,
and demands that his law be made honorable
by a perfect obedience. Christ the son and
second person of the trinity, assumes human
nature and renders to the law and justice of
God a vicarious obedience and suffering.
He, in other words, obeys the law for the
sinner and suffers its penalties in his stead.
Christ paid the debt and ransomed the captive.
He appeased his Father's righteous indignation
by voluntarily iuterposiug himself
between the blow aimed by his Father and
the guilty sinner. The work of the Holy
Spirit is to make an application of the work
done by Christ Jesus. We may say that
Christ works for us whilst the Holy Spirit
works in us. Christ .redeems us from the
curse of a violated law, and purchases for us
heaven, whilst it is the peculiar work of the
Holv Snirit to DreDare us for heaven. It is
J -r I -4
by the Holy Spirit that the sinner is regenerated,
and it is by the Holy Spirit that the
regenerated sinner is sanctified. When Jesus
hung upon the cross, he said, "It is finished,"
and gave up the ghost. The work which was
allotted to him was then complete. He had
rendered a perfect satisfaction to the demands
of justice; he had established the church upon
earth and opened up a new and living way
by which God could be just and justify the
ungodly sinner. Having lain in the grave as
an unmistakable evidence of his humility and
suffering, and having, after the space of three
days, arisen from the dead as a proof that the
atonement made by him for 3in was acceptable
to his Father, he ascended to heaven and
committed the work of man's salvation into
the hand's of the Holy Spirit.
It is clear that the work of the Holy Spirit
is just as important as the work of Christ
Jesus. Neither is complete without the other.
Unless the Holy Spirit regenerate and
sanctify the sinner, the atonement made by
Christ will avail the guilty and polluted sinner
nothing. The work undertaken by the
Holy Spirit is accomplished by the use of
means. There is, ordinarily, nothing miracu
-.i - * x?? ?
ious euner in its mcepuuu ur uuiupicuuu.
Means adapted to the end have been chosen
and sanctified, and in the use of these means
the soul, dead in tresspasses and sins, is quickened
iuto life. By the use of the same means
the regenerated soul is sanctified and ultimately
prepared for glory.

JEPHTHAH'S DAUGHTER.
In the 11th chapter of Judges, we have a
short but interesting account of a military
engagement which took place between the
Israelites, under Jephthah as commander, and
the Ammonites. When Jephthah went into
the engagement, he made a vow unto the
Lord iu these words, as they stand translated
in the authorized English version of the Scriptures
: "If thou shalt without fail deliver the
children of Amnion into raino hands, then it
shall be, that whatsoever cometh forth of the
doors of my house to meet me, when I return i
in peace from the children of Aramon, shall
surely be the Lord's, and I will offer it up
for a burnt offering." Judges, 11: 30-31.
When the victorious hero returned, his daughter
came out to meet him. She had instruments
of music, and evidently was greatly
delighted that the enemies of her country
were vanquished, and that her father was returning
in safety. She was the only child
and, as is always the case, was, no doubt,
greatly loved and petted by her father.
It is evident that the translators of the Hebrew
Bible were of opinion that Jephthah
vowed to offer up to the Lord as a burnt sacrifice
whatever came out of his house to meet
him on his return home from the slaughter of
the Ammonites. It is very doubtful whether
the language, when taken in connection with
what follows, will a'dmit of this translation.
It is certain that the language may be thus
translated in strict conformity to the laws of
the Hebrew language : "And Jephthah vowed
a vow unto the Lord, and said, if thou shalt
without fail deliver the children of Amnion
into mine hands, then it shall be, that whatsoever
cometh forth of the door of my house !
to meet me, when I return in peace from the
children of Ammon shall surely be the
Lord's, or I will offer it up for a burnt offering."
The only change which is made in this
translation is putting the disjunctive conjunction
or, for the copulative conjunction and.
Jn oknn^onoQ r\? nrnoorlonf tVnia
XUUC AO MUUUVIUUW VTA |/ivvvuvuv ?V4 btiug i
translating the conjunction. In the 21st,
chapter of Exodus, at the 17th verse, we have j
an example. To translate the conjunction in '
the passage in Exodus, a3 the same conjunc-}
tion is translated in Judges, it would read
thus: "He that curseth his father and (not!
or as it is) mother, etc." The connection ,
seems to require this. It is not said that:
Jephthah sacrificed his daughter, although he
I is said to have done to her according to his
vow. All that the daughter seems to have ;
grieved over, was her virginity. Amongst.
the Jews it was a lasting disgrace for a wo-:
man to remain a virgin, or not to become a
mother. Every woman desired to be a mother,
in hopes that the Messiah might spring from
her. The fortieth verse of the eleventh chapter
of Judges literally translated would read
thus: "This custom was in existence in Israel.
At different seasons yearly the unmarried '
girls of the Israelites visited the daughter of
Jephthah and consoled her during four days." '
It seems that all that Jephthah did to her
was to cause her to live a maiden, or to pre-,
vent her from marrying. This was according !
to the notions of the Jews, and especially to
Jephthah, as he had no other child?a severe
calamity. Jephthah made his vow in haste,
and no doubt saw the folly of the act.

SELF-MADE MEN.
It is a remarkable fact that the great majority
of those men who have done most for
their fellow men, and won for themselves immortal
honors, were the sons of poor men.
Such men were what are known, the world
over, by the name of self-made men. Why
such boys often make great and useful men, j
whilst the sons of the rich most frequently
turn out worthless spendthrifts, is worthy of
a careful investigation. It cannot be said
that it is because the poor are born with bet- I
ter brains than the rich ; neither is it because j
the poor are born with a moral nature superior
to that of the rich. The reason we conceive
to be in the circumstances by which
the two classes of the human family are sur
rounded. Naturally, man is a lazy and indolent
creature. He lias to be forced to
move or he will fold his hands in idleness.
The mind and body require exercise that they
may be developed. Without exercise the j
innate energies of the mind grow weak and
languid, and the muscles of the body become
soft and delicate. The sons of the rich are
under no necessity to press their minds and
muscles into vigorous action, and hence they
are not prepared in mind and body for any
great effort. The truth is, the education of
the poor is often more thorough than is the
education of the rich. The children of the
poor, from the cradle, are trained to grapple
with realties?things which have a practical
existence ; whilst the offspring of the rich are
often permitted to grow up in the most profound
ignorance of men and things. Their
thoughts are idle dreams, and their physical
labors are struggles with shadows. If it be
asked who rules the world ? we reply, selfmade
men. If it is further asked who has
always ruled, and who will continue to rule
it in the future ? we answer again, selfmade
men.
In a practical point of view it is important
to consider more particularly from what class
of society self-made men spring. We have
already said that they are the sons of the j
poor ; but we do not mean that they are the
sons of the squalidly poor. From this class
they usually do not spring. In society there
are three classes of individuals. The independently
rich, the horridly poor, and a middle
class. The first mentioned class look
upon effort of any kind as a disgrace; the
second is made up of creatures frequently so
morally degraded that nothing but the clam
raorings of hunger and thirst can move tnem
to physical effort; and mental effort they never
put forth. Only in exceptional cases does
a great statesmen or a distinguished inventor,
or an illustrious general, or a learned philosopher
crop out from the ranks of the independently
rich, or the squalidly poor. From
the middle class spring all, or nearly all, the
self-made men?the men who rule the world.
The sons of those who hold the plow or throw
the sledge or push the plane, are the boys who
are in a few years to be great and illustrious
in the walks of human life. The boy who is
permitted to pass through his minorage without
grappling with some difficulties, both
physical and mental, will, in all probability,
pass the remainder of his days on earth worthy
of no higher epithet than drone, and finally,
go down to the grave having doue but
little harm and no good. Self-made men are
those who are taught to think with their
brains and work with their hauds in youth.
The idle boy, whether he be the sou of a rich
or a poor man, must lay aside his lazy habits
and go to work, or he never will become a
self-made man. The great characteristic of
a self-made man is that he is and always has
been and always will be a great worker.

A DOG STORY.
Some strange tales are told about the dumb
beasts. Some of these are no doubt in part
true, but greatly exaggerated ; others are perhaps
simple facts. Many years ago when we
were but a small boy, we heard a gentleman
tell a story about a dog, which at the time interested
us very much. We will relate it as
nearly as possible in the words of our informer.
Remember, we do not vouch for the truth
of what we tell. The facts did not come
under our immediate observation. We only
heard them, still we are disposed to think
they are in the main true.
Many years ago there were no railroads in
this country. People had to haul on wagons
their cotton and tobacco to the city of Charleston.
In a certain neighborhood in the
upper part of South Carolina, there lived a
nnndonmn wtlft WflO Yrlmt. U'.TS nflllpfl Jit t.hat.
time, "a well to do man in the world." He
had married a nice young wife and built a
snug little house. The house was a double
log cabin. One end was used as a sitting
room, and the other had a partition running
through it, which formed it into two very comfortable
sleeping rooms. Each of these rooms
was entered by a door from the sitting room,
and in the end of each room there was a little
window which was closed by a simple shutter
made of clap-boards. Rough as this
house would appear at present, it was, at the
time spoken of, thought to be a fine house for
the up-country.
Late in the fall the gentleman went to
Charleston, expecting to be back on a certain
day. The weather was favorable and the
day arrived ; but the gentleman did not arrive.
The wife was not very anxious, thinking
that he would certainly be home the next
day. The next day passed away and still
the gentleman did not come home. The
clouds began to gather, and late in the evening
it began to rain. A neighbor came in to
hear the news, he said, from Charleston. The
rain increased as night approached. The
lady became very anxious about the return of
her husband and so expressed herself to her
visitor. Her anxiety was increased, she said,
on account of the fact that there was in the
house near one hundred dollars in silver coin.
Her neighbor, in whom she had every confidence,
proprosed that his dog be placed in the
room which contained the money. He as-;
sured her that no person could enter the room j
if the dog were placed in charge of it. To the j
proposition the lady assented. The dog was \
called, and formally, by his master, put into j
the room, fed and ordered to obey the lady j
and guard the room. A bed was placed in 1
the room for the dog and the door and window
shut. The neighbor went home and the j
anxious woman, somewhat relieved, deter-!
rained to spend the night without sleep. She !
retired to bed. Late iu the night she thought'
she heard a noise at the window of the room
in which the dog was keeping guard. Possibly,
she thought, it might be the dog attempting
to get out. Again she thought she heard 1
the shutter open. It was no imagination; she
distinctly heard some one iu a low and gentle
tone of voice call the dog by name. The dog
began to growl. Soon she heard a foot placed
upon the floor. The dog growled louder and
more angrily. The woman's suspeuse was
awful. Some one had most certainly entered j
the room. Would the dog make friends with I
1 . !
i him ? In a wild state of excitement the wo- 1
man screamed to the dog to seize the intru'
der. The dog uttered a fierce bark and made
one bound which was succeeded by a terrible
struggle and finally a groan. The morning j
1 came, and when the woman opened the door
she found the lifeless body of the owner of the i
dog. He had laid this plot to rob the house of j
its contents.
