A Nonplussed Attorney.?At the trial
of a breach of promise case in Albany, N. Y.,
the plaintiff was a young lady of rather delicate
nerves, and although, by the aid of her
counsel, Hon. Lyman Tremain, her case was
looking well, yet when she came to be cross-!
examiued by the opposite attorney, Hon. Henry
Smith, she quailed before his searching examination,
and finally fell down in a swoon.
The sympathies of every one were aroused,
and Mr. Smith saw that he must do sofnething.
The young lady's face was of a purple-red during
her swoon, and so when the next witness
was called, (a middle-aged lady), Mr. Smith
said :
"Witness, you saw the plaintiff faint a short
time ago ?"
"Yes, sir," said the witness.
"Well, people turn pale when they faint, do
they not?"
The witness hesitated for a moment, then
said, "No, not always."
"Did you ever hear of a case of fainting
where the party did not turn pale.'"
"Yes, sir."
"When?"
"About a year ago."
"Where was it ?"
"In this city."
"Who was it?"
" ' Twas a nigger !"
The plantitf won the case.
Tiie Professor's Salary.?The following
story is told of Prof. Snell, of Amherst: Years
ago, his salary was only eight hundred dollars
a year. After the war, however, when wealth
began to roll in upon Amherst College,
the trustees concluded to raise the salaries
of the professors to twenty-five hundred dollars.
Snell was sitting in his study when his
wife came in to announce the good news. He
was poring over a well-thumbed mathematical
treatise. "Ebenezer!" said she, "what do
you think? They've done it!" "Done it!"
said he; "done what? who?" "Why, the
trustees ; they've raised your salary to twentyfive
hundred dollars a year!" Suell's face
became radiant. "Thank God, Almira !" said
he, "now we can have a codfish!"?Ex.
ZDS?0' The following story is told in connection
with one of the matrimonial agencies of
Paris : One M. X. applied at an agency for
an elligible spouse, aud was offered and accepted
by a damsel of tweuty-seven, whose
name was 011 the books. The agent, writing
to the lady, told her frankly that M. X. was
not an Adonis, but that he possessed more
sterling qualities than beauty. At the same
time he sent her a carte-de-visite of the gentleman,
as he supposed, but by mistake, slipped
into the envelope a vignette portrait of a
t\ , -vr * * 1
iavorite ape. j>ext morning ne discovered
the error; before he could rectify it, however,
he received a note from the lady, saying, "1
accept the husband you offer me. It is true
that he is not precisely handsome, but theu
he has such a distinguished air."
? ?
Pretty Good.?An Irishman, driven to
desperation by the stringency of the money
market and the high price of provisions, procured
a pistol and took to the road. Meeting
a traveler he stopped him, "Yer money
or yer life!"
Seeing Pat was "green," he said, "I'll tell
you what I'll do?I'll give you all my money
for that pistol."
"Agreed."
Pat received the mouoy, and handed over
the pistol.
"Now," said the traveler, "hand back the
money, or I'll blow your brains out."
"Blaze away, my hearty," said Pat, "niver
a dhrop o' powther ther's in it at all."
Borrowing a Frying Pan.?A soldier
on picket reserve went to a fann-house, as he
said, to borrow a frying pau, but for what his
comrades could not imagine, as they had
nothing to fry. Preferring his request to tin
good dame, who answered his knock at the
door, the pan was duly transferred to him.
He took it, looked iu it, turned it over and
looked on the bottom, and then turned it
over agaiD, and looked into it very hard, as
if not certain that it was clean. "Well, sir,"
said the lady, "can I do anything more for
you ?" "Could?could?could you lend me
a piece of meat to fry in it, ma'am ?" and he
laughed iu spite of himself. He got it.
A Fair Answer.?A clergyman was conducting
a specimen exercise with a class of
very young scholars, teaching a lesson of
the International Series. He had been over
with the little ones the story of the Israelites
making brick with straw in Egypt.
As he came to the oppression of Pharaoh, in
demanding the same tale of bricks when no
straw was supplied as before, he asked the
question, "What is meant by the tale of
bricks ?" At once a bright little fellow put
up his hand and answered, "A piece of straw
sticking out of a brick !" That certainly was
a fair answer for a juvenile commentator.
??
A Decisive Tkst.?A person attending
the Mardi-Gras festival of Memphis, gave
out, with some empressment, that he was a
Chicago Alderman. This statement having
heen called in question, an official of the
Phoenix City was interviewed by telegraph
on the subject, accompanied by a description
of the gentleman who claimed such exalted
eminence. "Is he drunk or sober?" came
back over the wires. "Drunk." "He's the
right man, then, and is worthy your confidence,"
was the reply.
?
In tiii: Penitentiary.?A member of the
Ohio legislature recently visited the penitentiary,
and while there chiseled the .State
out of twenty-five cents by having his hair
cut by the penitentiary barber. While undergoing
the tonsorial process, a party of lady
and gentlemen visitors looked in, and Mr.
Blake was made happy by catching such remarks
as "Ugly look about the eye3," "Vicious
mouth," "Looks capable of any wicked- j
ness," "Wonder what he did ?" etc.
PIis Time.?Said a member of the Mississippi
Legislature: "Mr. Speaker! Mr. Speaker
! Mister Speaker! ain't I 'titled to de fio',
sah ? I got up, sah, next after Mr. Smith,
who was next after Mr. Johnson, who was
next after Mr. Brown, who came next to Mr.
Burrus, who was next to Mr. Bates, who was
next to Mr. Ball, who was next to Mr. Blue,
who was next to Mr. Barclay, sah, and have
stood here until they all got through turnabout,
and now it's my time."
The Best Part of Tiiem.?North Adams
has a tailor long known for his keen, pungent
wit. Not long since a well-known clergyman
called at his shop with a pair of pantaloons,
and asked him if they could be repaired. The
knight of the shears unrolled them, held them
up in a most artistic manner, carefully examined
them, and replied, "Yes, yes ; the knees
are the best part of them." The reverend
geutleman saw the joke, smiled blandly, and
gracefully bowed himself out.

A newspaper clerk some time ago sold
fifty papers to a negro, who promised faithfully
to pay for them very soon. The other
day the clerk encountered and dunned him.
"Look here, you freedman, when are you going
to pay for those papers ?" "Don't trouble

SSf A lady having the good fortune to have
her husband hang himself on an apple tree,
the wife of a neighbor immediately came to
beg a branch of that tree, to have it grafted
into one in her orchard. "For who knows,"
says she, "but it may bear the same kind of
fruit."

IMPUDENCE.
Some children think that it is smart to give
impudent answers, and to say impudent things
to strangers. This is a fearful mistake.
When a stranger asks a little boy or girl a
question, and receives an inpudent reply, he
concludes that the child is the offspring of
low and degraded parents. If is easier to be
1 polite than to be impudent. By politeness
; we make ourselves friends; by impudence
we cause people to look upon us with feelings
of disgust. A smile is much easier made
than a frown. The former draws friends to
; us; the latter drives them awav.

GOOD MANNERS.
Iu our journey through life, there is nothing
that is of so much real value to us as good
' manners. The ability to conduct ourselves
with ease and propriety, iu all kinds of society,
is worth more than gold. The individual
who has made this attainment, can wend his
way through this world comfortably with
very little property; and the individual who
has not made it, to some considerable degree,
will find this a troublesome world, no matter
how much he is worth in money. The first
thing to be attended to iu order to make this
noble acquisition, is to conduct ourselves
kindly toward every one. It costs nothing
to speak in a gentle tone to every one we
meet. This may seem to be a very small
thing ; but is the base of one of the noblest
fabrics in the world. A smile wins for us
the good will, if not the love, of all with
whom we come in contact, and a frown
drives every one from us. We have high
authority for saying, that "a soft answer
turneth away wrath." The contrary is true.
Nothing is clearer than that a harsh word
makes foes bitter and uncompromising.
It is a part of good manners to advocate
our own opinions with gentleness, and pay
due respect to the sentiments of others. Even
if we are absolutely sure that our opinions
are correct, and the opinions of others wrong,
the worst way that we could take to correct
the errors of others, is by abusing them. No
man likes to be called a fool, and every man
will hate the individual that does it. If good
manners consist in any one thing more than
in another, it is in gentleness.

SPIRIT.
It is said that a spur in the head is worth
more than two on the heel, or one on both
heels. It takes more than muscles and
braius to make a successful man. That boy
who wants spirit, 110 matter how strong or
how smart he may be, will never be anything
but a drone. He may be as strong as an ox,
but if he is lazy, his strength will not advantage
him much. A spirited individual of
small body and weak muscles, will do more
work in a month than a lazy giant will do in
a year. A boy may be gifted by nature with
good intellectual endowments, but be destitute
of the pluck that prompts him to try. Such
a boy will soon find that he is left by his
spirited classmates. Such a boy will find all
through life that he is behind, and every
thing goes wrong for him. Some boys get
into a spiritless way of doing things that
sticks to them for life. They drawl out their
words when talking or reading, as if they
were afraid the syllables or words would fight
I if they got close together. When they walk
they drag along as if they were sick. They
set their feet down on the ground as if they
were afraid they would hurt the ground, and
when they get their feet on the ground they
raise them so slowly that one would think
they had a heavy weight suspended to them.
They talk slow, ,.alk slow, work slow, play
slow, and think slow, and are slow all over.
All that such boys need, is spirit; they have
contracted a slow way of doing everything,
which if not broken up, will increase on them
as they grow old.
HONESTY.
One day the Duke of Buccleuch, a Scotch
nobleman, bought a cow in the neighborhood
of Dalkeith, in the neighborhood of where he
lived. The cow was to be sent home the next
morning. Early the next moruiug the Duke
was taking a walk in a very common dress.
As he went along, he saw a boy trying in vain
to drive a cow to his residence. The cow was
very unruly, and the poor boy could not get
on with her at all. The boy, not knowing the
Duke, bawled out to him in a broad Scotch
accent:
"Aie, mun come here, an' gie a han' wi' this
beast."
The Duke went slowly on, not seeming to
notice the boy, who still kept calling for his
help. At last, finding he could not get along
with the cow, he cried out in distress:
"Come here, mun, an' as sure as ony thing
I'se give ye half I get."
The Duke went and lent a helping hand.
"And now," said the Duke, as they trudged
along after the cow, "how much do you think
you will get for the job ?"
"I diuna ken," said the boy, "but I'm sure
o' something, for the folks at the big house
are guid to a bodies."
As they came to a lane near the house the
Duke slipped away from the boy aud eutered
by a different way. Calliug the butler, he
put a sovereign into his hand, saying :
"Give that to the boy that brought the
cow."
He then returned to the end of the lane,
where he had parted from the boy, so as to
meet him on his way back.
"Well, how much did you get ?" asked the
Duke.
"A shilling," said the boy, "and there's half
o' it to ye."
"But surely you had more than a shilling,"
said the Duke.
"No," said the boy, "sure that's a' I got;
and d'ye no think it plenty?"
"I do not," said the Duke ; "there must be
some mistake ; and as I am acquainted with
the Duke, if you will return I think I'll get
you more."

and ordered all the servants to be assembled.
"Now," said the Duke to the boy, "point
out the person who gave you the shilling."
"It was that chap there wi' the apron,"
said he, pointing to the butler.
The butler fell on his knees, confessed his
fault and begged to be forgiven ; but the Duke
indignantly ordered him to give the boy the
sovereigu and quit his service immediately.
"You have lost," said the Duke, "your
money, your situation, and your character,
by your deceitfulness ; learn for the future that
honesty is the best policy.
The boy now found out himself who it was
that helped him to drive the cow; and the
Duke was so pleased with the honesty aud
manliness of the boy that he sent him to school
and provided for him at his own expense.
Helping a Brother in Teourli:.?A
swallow got his leg fastened in a piece ol
string, the ball of which was fastened on the
roof of a tall house. His cries and flutterings

ALIKE.
Notwithstanding tlio fact that the creeds
of the pious differ so much from each othci
in many instances, the heart sentiments of all
the truly godly are alike. Their hopes and
their fears, their joys and their sorrows, arc
the same. The object of their faith is t he
same Jesus, and all their cares and trouble!
and anxieties end in joy and peace in him.
God in Christ Jesus is all in all to all pious
men. Christ crucified is the chiefcst among
ten thousand and the one altogether lovely to
every traveler to the New Jerusalem. All
Christians arc ransomed by the same redemption

same road. The means of grace are the same
in all sections of the world. There is one
God and one Saviour, Jesus Christ, and one
sanctifier, the Holy Ghost., One faith, one
baptism, and one heaven, and all the pious
are Christ's and Christ is God's. Christ and
God are one, and the prayer of the Saviour is
that believers may be one, even as he aud the
father are one.

INTEMPERANCE.
The wide spread misery which is daily inflicted
upon our country by the abuse of intoxicatingspirits,
is, to all humane individuals,
distressing. In what we have to say upon
this subject we desire to be truthful. We
have no desire to run into extremes. In itself,
or as the learned would say, the simple
use of intoxicating liquors is not per se, a
sin, neither are we prepared to say that
drunkenness is the greatest of all sins. The
proper use of anything cannot be a sin, aud
the irreverent use of God's name is a more
heinous sin in the sight of God than beastly
drunkenness. Drunkenness is, however, a
sin, and a most heinous transgression against
both God and man. Perhaps there is no sane
man who would deny this statement. The
drunkard himself feels that by his habit of
drinking, he is sinning against himself,
against society, and against the God of heaven.
He is aware that he is bringing upon
himself infamy and shame, and inflicting
upon the innocent members of society much
misery ; and if he has been raised in a Chris"?
* 11- V I * 1
tiau community, and nau ms mum srorcu
with Bible sentiments, lie l'eels that he is
jeopardizing his soul.
The evils of imtemperaiice are too glaring
not to be seen by every one, and it is a cause
of lamentation that these evils are so common
as to be felt by nearly every member in society.
An old Greek philosopher said long
ago, that drunkenness is a minor madness,
Really, it seems to partake of the nature oi
insanity. One of the characteristics of the
insane is to fear what is harmless, and rush
headlong into the midst of imminent danger,
It is not meant that drunkards are all intellectual
dwarfs, or uncultivated monsters,
For, although, intellectual imbecility and barbarous
monstrosity, are the almost invariable
results ordrunkeuness, still, multitudes, possessed
of the most brilliant minds and favored
with the most refined culture, are on the
broad road that leads to a drunkard's grave.
Drunkenness may be attributed to a multitude
of causes; hut it clearly has its origin
in man's sinful nature. It is one of the works
of the devil. The taste for intoxicating liquors
is an acquired one; hut when once the
habit is formed, it is barely possible to break
it up. Reformed drunkards are exceedingly
scarce.
The abating of the evils of intemperance is
worthy of the efforts of the philosopher, the
statesman and the Christian. Drunkenness
/
saps the foundation of society in all its
phases, as well as retards the progress of the
i i n r\ i Ti _ a i _ _ 1 __ x ?

I drive godliness from the land, and shut men
out of the kingdom of heaven ; but it also
drives peace and quiet from the world and
destroys the brightest trophies and rarest
triumphs of civilization. The heart sickens
at the bare contemplation of the ravages of
j iutemperance. The catalogue of its attendI
ant crimes is endless.
That drunkenness is common in our coun|
try at this time will be admitted by every one.
! It docs not matter whether it is more general
j than at any previous period in our history or
! not. The fact is clear that drunkenness exi
ists, and it is causing much distress, grief and
agony of both soul and body. The question
then, is, can this evil be abated ? Surely it
can. There will be, no doubt, drunkards as
j long as the world lasts; but certainly their
; number may be greatly reduced. Drunkenj
ness, it is firmly believed, is the work of the
j devil, and drunkards are so far under the
control of the devil. How, then, is this work
of Satan to be destroyed, his schemes defeated
and his captives ransomed ? We answer, by
1 the grace of God. The individuals by whom,
j as instruments in the hands of the Holy
I Spirit, the good work is to be accomplished,
| arc God's professed people of every name,
j All that is necessary in order to abate this
; evil is for God's people earnestly and importunately
to plead with God that this work of
the destroyer of souls may be abandoned.
The making men sober and the abolishing of
inebriety, is the work of the Holy Spirit,
j Without the sustaining and sanctifying power
of the Iioly Spirit, any man may become a
I drunkard. Sustained and supported by that
Spirit, every man will live a sober life, God
grants his Spirit to them that ask it. Not
' only does he grant his spirit to the individual
asking it, but he hears prayer in behalf of
others, and grants them blessings. The people
of God can, if they will, live and pray
j drunkenness out of the land. All they have
' to do is to live sober lives and to pray that
. others may do so too. The granting of such
a petition would advance God's declarative
glory, and be conducive to the good of thousands
of the human family. For this reason
Christians are warranted in praying to God
that lie would abate this evil, and they have
a right to look up and expect an answer to
their prayer.
Shall God's thoughts be surpassed by
man's thoughts? God's giving by man's
asking? Clod's creation by man's imagination?
No. Let us climb to the height ol
our Alpine desires ; let us leave them behind
us and ascend the spear-pointed Ilimtnalays
of our aspirations; still shall we find the
depths of God's sapphire above us ; still shall
we find the heavens higher than the earth,
and his thoughts and his ways higher than
. our thoughts and our ways.
