Humorous ?rpartmrat. A Lawyer's Note.?A wag of a lawyer was sitting in his office the other day, deeply engaged in unraveling some knotty question, when a gentleman entered and inquired, "Is this Mr. Z. ?" The student of Blackstone, raising his eyes from the legal book before him, replied: "If you owe me anything, or have any business in my line, then Z. is my name ; if you have a claim to present, then I am not the man. If you called simply for a social chat, you can call me any name." "I propose to present you with some business in your line. I have a note of twenty-five dollars I want you to collect," and handing the lawyer a note, departed, to call the next day. As soon as he was gone, the lawyer ascertained that it was one of his own promises to pay. The next day his client appeared, and inJuired, "Well, what success?" "All right; have collected the money. Here it is, less my fees," handing him fifteen dollars. "Good!" said the client; "I have made two dollars and a half by this operation." "How so?" said fUa lomiTAM WT ol 1 " WAVvllAi^ ?

Getting Around.?The other day a sharp looking youth walked up quickly to the counter of the post-office in a country town, and emptying a bag of coppers thereon, asked the clerk, who was attending to other customers, for a dollar's worth of one-cent stamps. "O, you be bothered 1" was the answer. "That's not a legal tender; it is all copper." "What is a legal tender, then ?" asked the boy. "Why, one cent is a legal tender for a onecent stamp." "O!" exclaimed the youth, ."is it ? Come on, then," passing a coin from the heap ; "a one-cent stamp, please." The clerk gave him one. "Another, please." A second was given him. "Ano?" "Here, stop that," the clerk said. "Give me the money. It will be the shortest way to get rid of you." After counting the money, he gave the value thereof in stamps to the lad, who was heard to mutter, "I thought I would tire him out." Angels Unawares.?Old Parson Happy was one of the old-time circuit riders, whose rough exterior and uncouth ways often obscured his true goodness of heart. One day he was caught in a shower, in Illinois, and going to a rude cabin near by, he knocked at the door. A sharp looking old dame an swered his summons. He asked for shelter. "I don't know you," she replied, suspiciously. "Remember the Scriptures," said the preacher. " 'Be not forgetful to entertain strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.' " "You needn't say that," quickly replied the other; "no angel would come down here with a big quid of tobacco in his mouth !" She shut the door in his face, leaving the good man to the mercy of the rain and his own reflections. Her Appreciation of Science.?A South Norwalk physician a few days ago was overhauling an electrical machine, and, after putting it in order, turned the crank to test it. His little daughter wanted to help, so.he told her to turn amd he would hold the handles. The child did her part well, and the current' of electricity was so strong that the doctor's hands shook as though he had an attack of the pgue. The next day the little girl asked her father to let her "play the hand-organ again." "Hand-organ ?" said the doctor, in an inquiring tone of voice; "1 didn't know that you had ever played a hand organ." "0, yes, I did, yesterday, you know, when I played and you were the monkey." 1 ^ 1 t A Cautious Doctor.?Dr. L. is cautiously treating a sick man, concerning the nature of whose disease be is quite in the dark. "Well'," he says to the ilurse, od making his usual morning visit, "how do we find ourselves to-day ? Did he sleep well ? Did the medicine act ?" -"Yes, sir, he slept, but I left the gas burning, turned down very low." "Ah, he slept well, did he ? I thought he would. And you left the gas burning, turned down low? Very good, very good; all is going very nicely." And betakes his hat. "What, doctor! Have you no instructions?no prescription?nothing ?" The doctor (sagely, and after mature deliberation)?"Yes; keep the gas burning?turned down very low." Wanted a Clean Cup.?The Loudon Truth tells the following anecdote: At a recent charity fair a distinguished society lady was among those who dispensed tea at a big price for a thimbleful. A seriously-looking gentleman approached and inquired the price of a cup of tea. "One shilling," was the reply. The genlteraan paid. But before the lady gave him the cup she first put it to Jier lips, and then handing it to him said : "Now it costs a sovereign." The gentleman calmly laying down a sovereign, bowed to the lady, and in the most natural tone in the world, said : "And now, will you be kind enough to let me have a clean cup ?" Tableau. His Loss.?Not long since, a party of visitors inspected the poor-house. Among the inmates was a venerable locking old man, whose face indicated perfect happiness. He seemed to be perfectly contented. Said one of the visitors, "You seem to be satisfied with vnur W." "T dm." lift ranlied ; "I have a source of consolation that is denied to most men." "Ah !" said the visitor, "you look forward fo a blissful future beyond the grave." "Yes," responded the old man; "but I also find much comfort in the proverb that says one man's loss is another man's gain. It makes me very happy to think I never lost enough to do the feller that found it much good." IS" A small boy with a big cent in his hand stood before a grocery fcr a long time before making up his mind to enter. When asked what he desired, he inquired: "If a boy should come here and get trusted for a stick of gum, how much would it be?" "One cent," was the reply. "And if a boy should come here with the cash, bow much would it be?" "Just the same." "Then I guess I'll get trusted," quietly remarked the financier, as he slipped the cent down into his pocket. ? ? + Well, I'se ben notissin dat de white fokes, sense de wah, don't hab haf'es much time to wurk in az dey used ter ?"

There are times when a little child can plunge us into the depths of despair. Such a time happened recently. We had company i to tea, and I was trying to amuse them, when ray little four-year-old daughter solemnly J piped out, pointing to a bald-headed gentle-! man. "Papa, did God make that white spot on Mr. B's head for the flies to play on ?" His Views.?"What on earth have you ! brought all these things home for?" contempt- } uously asked a woman of her husband, as he ; spread a lot of pictures on the table. "You I have often twitted me," he answered, "of never haviDg any views on any subject, and so I've got a lot of 'views' on all sorts of sub- j jects; and they are my views. I paid for them." Queer People.?"You politicians are queer people," said an old business man to an j impecunious partisan. "How so?" asked the j politician. "Why, because you trouble yourselves so much more about the payment of the debts of the State than you do about your own." ihe gmm and J umdc. GRINDING TOOLS. Edge tools are fitted up by grinding. The sharp grit of the grindstone, being harder than the iron or steel, cuts very small channels in the surface of the metal, and the revolving disk carries away all the minute particles that are detached by the grit. If we were to examine the surface of the tool that has just been removed from the grindstone, under the lens of a powerful microscope, it would appear, as it were, like the rough surface of a field which has been recently scarified with some implement that had formed alternate ridges and furrows. Hence, as these ridges and furrows run together from both sides at the cutting-edge, the newly-ground edge seems to be formed of a system of minute teeth, rather than to consist of a smooth edge. For this reason a tool is first ground on a coarse stone, so as to wear the surface of the steel away rapidly ; then onT wheel of muchjiferr and finally, ia order UO ?l!uucr"the~serrature as much as possible, a I whetstone of the finestgrit must be employed. I TkJc rM,roc q s>iittinnr.prl<rn havintr t.hfi smallest J.UIO to to- o I possible serration. A razor, for example, does not have a perfect cutting-edge, as one may perceive by viewing it through a microscope. Beginners are sometimes instructed, when grinding edge tools, to have the stone revolve toward the cutting-edge, and sometimes from it. When the first grinding is being done it is a matter of indifference whether this is done or not; but when the finishing touches are applied near and at the very edge, a grinder can always complete his task with more accuracy if the periphery of the grindstone revolves toward the cutting edge, as the steel that is worn away will be removed more easily ; whereas, when a stone runs in the opposite direction, the grinder cannot always tell exactly when the side of the tool is fully ground up to the edge. This is more especially true when the steel has a rather low or soft temper. The stone, when running from the edge, will not sweep away every particle of the metal that hangs as a "feather" but when the stone revolves toward the edge, there will be no "feather edge" to deceive the eye of the grinder. Carelessness a Source of Income.?It is amazing to consider the extent to which losses are incurred on the one hand, and sales and occupation afforded on the other hand, by the inexcusable carelessness of people who know better and ought to do better. The fastening of a well-bucket is deranged, or a hoop is loose, but the thoughtless man or woman never notices the trouble until the bucket is dropped in the well or the bottom is out. Then time is lost, the family is inconvenienced, and perhaps a neighbor gets a job of work and the pay. The gate-latch is out of order; no attention is paid to it; the hogs or cows get in; the yard is rooted up; the shrubbery is destroyed; the gardener is employed and the nurseryman has an order. A tire is loose on the wheel; the wood is swiftly wearing away, a little care would set the matter right; no pains are taken ; awqy on the road a wheel is crushed and the wheelwright has some employment. A shingle is out of place on the roof; one nail would mend the trouble; that nail isn't driven; the rain steals in, and soon the plasterer is paid to use the trowel and brush. The bridle reiu is weak ; a bit is worn, nobody thinks of examining either; a horse is drawn to one side, or a horse runs away; a vehicle is broken; a carriage maker or blacksmith is profited, and perhaps a surgeon has a profitable professional engagement. The water of a well is impure; those who use it complain; no proper steps are taken; the family have serious sickness; the druggist sells his medicioes, and the doctor gets bis fees. In the same way the cellar is foul; the mephitic gases escape through the floors; the blood is poisoned; the fever rages, some die; the physician has a harvest, and even the undertaker and sexton And employment A stove chimney is in a dangerous condition; people have eyes to see, but don't use them ; the fire soon does its dreadful work, and carpenters and merchants have a good time. So of many?very many things. ' Are you innocent of such neglect ? There are far better and cheaper ways to give work and profit to others. By taking care of what ' ? l\AAAn.A-nklA Ia .1 ntkn. you uave,yuu mi ay .ucuuuic quic iu auu utuu and more valuable things which you desire. There is true economy in proper attention to small as well as great things.?Rural New Yorker. Feed Young Animals Well.?The man who wears out a calf's teeth in the effort to make it shirk for itself never raised a prime steer nor a good cow. Every dollar supposed to be thus saved in the young animal must he replaced by the expenditure of two. The man who feeds best while the animal is young makes the most money. This is generally recognized as true by our best farmers, and hence ihe improvement in stock, and consequent cheapening in the raising of animals within the past ten years. The same rule will apply to all farm stock. If stinted while young they never pay the breeder and feeder a living profit. Hence, the reason why those who do not keep pace with the times are always complaining that there is no money in stock. The big prices paid by the best stock feeders are for animals that have had their digestive organs kept intact by early and properly prepared nutritious food. The value of a food animal lies in its aptitude to lay on flesh, and those who keep steadily growing from birth will continue this growth and increase in profitable weight. To do this in the most economical manner the digestive organs must be originally strong and unimpaired by abuse. Advice to Dyspeptics.?Avoid pork, fat meats, grease, gravies, spices, confectioneries, tea, coffee, alcoholic drinks, beer, malt liquors, of all kinds. Let your food be plain, simple, wholesome? chiefly fruits and vegetables. Let your bread be made of unbolted wheat meal. * Take your meals regularly; if three, let i the supper be very sparing. Eat slowly, lightly, masticate thoroughly. Beware of hot food and drinks. Avoid luncheons by all means. Exercise?freely in the open air; never sit moping, but turn your mind entirely from your disease and trouble. Keep the feet dry ; let the soles of your shoes be thick, that no dampness may penetrate them. Keep regular hours; rise early; exercise half an hour gently before breakfast. Banish the pipe, quid and snuff-box, as the j plague, forever. Of all the dyspepsia breed- j ers and promoters, nothing exceeds the use of the "Indian weed." Keep away from the apothecary; avoid all quack medicines and nostrums. i Salt with Nuts.?One time, while enjoying a visit from an Englishman, hickory nuts were served in the evening, when my English friend called for salt, Btating that he knew of j a case of a woman eating heartily of nuts in 1 the evening, who was taken violently ill. I The celebrated Dr. Abernethy was sent for,1 but it was after he had become too fond of his cups, and he was not in a condition to go. He muttered, "Salt! salt!" of which no no-1 tice was taken. Next morning he went to the | place and she was a corpse. He said that had they given her salt it would have relieved her; and if they would allow him to make j an examination he would convince them. On opening the stomach the nuts were found in a mass. He sprinkled salt on this and it ini- j mediately dissolved. I have known of a sudden death myself, which appears to have been the effect of the same cause. I generally eat salt with nuts and consider that it improves them.?

In six days God created the world, and rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had created. The word "rested," as applied to God in this connection, can only mean that he ceased to create. The seventh day God sanctified as a day of rest for all his intelligent creatures. In other words, the Sabbath, in the language of the Saviour, was made for man. One day in seven was designated by God that man might commemorate the perfect work of creation. The seventh day was observed^ and commanded to l>e observed, until the resurrection of JesusChriSt.. ThenJiie^ightbufcy oTnrST uay oi The week was commanded to be kept holy unto the Lord our God. The main object of which the Sabbath, under the Christian dispensation, is commemorative, is the resurrection of Jesus Christ. It is the resurrection of .Jesus Christ that iucticates to ustnat tneworK which he undertook to perform, was, by Him, completely perfected. This being the case, there is no doctrine of the New Testament that is so important as that of the Resurrection. Every thing depends upon it. If Jesus Christ did not rise from the grave ; if he wa? not, by his own powpr, resurrected, then the whole scheme of redemption is a failure. Whoever will take the trouble to examine the Scriptures, will find that there is no doctrine that is more fully explained than the doctrine of the resurrection, and no fact in the whole'history of redemption more fully attested, than the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Of this event, the Christian Sabbath is commemdrative. Those who observe, in its proper sense, the Sabbath, celebrate the resurrection of the Saviour of sinners. This, together with the devotional feelings which its proper observance is calculated to awaken and foster, is its main object. For this purpose it was instituted, and for this purpose it is perpetuated, and will be perpetuated until all the blood-bought children of God are saved in Heaven, and then it will be all Sabbath. ' This day, which God has set apart for the commemoration of the resurrection of his own Son and our Saviour, is often, in the Scriptures, called the Lord's day; but never NSunday. It is manifestly very appropriately called the Lord's day, but as manifestly inappropriately called Sunday. The words Sunday, and Sabbath, or Lord's | day, are totally different, both in origin and I CnnrloTT Tiro a /lov An wlnVh dl^UUIuaiXUll* uuuunj n ao vuu v&<*j via ?* **avai the old Pagan Saxons worshipped the sun. It j is true, that it does not make a great deal of 1 difference what we call the day, provided we have a correct notion of its design. Still, good taste abhors some words which others of less refinement regard as very expressive. Many persons regard tote, brung and fotch, <ns good English; but no man of refined taste ever uses them, and the moment these words are used every educated ear experiences a peculiarly grating sensation. On the same principle, Sunday used for Sabbath, or Lord's day, is in bad Christian taste. Those who reject the Christian religion, may be pardoned for calling that day which God, in his word, calls Sabbath, by the heathen name Sunday; but Christians should call Christian institutions | by Scripture names. The observance of the Sabbath is one of the l>eculiar characteristics of Christians. The heathens have a number of what they call sacred days, but only Christians observe the Sabbath. Such being the case, it is one of the tests by which we may judge of Christian character. That man who has no Sabbath, may very safely be put down as having no Christian piety. lie may be a member of the church ; but if he regards not God's Sabbath, his religion is only morality. It may be asked how are we required to keep the Sabbath ? God has answered this question. "We are to remember the Sabbath day and to keep it holy unto the Lord our God. We are to abstain from all worldly labor and worldly pleasure. We are forbidden to follow our daijy avocations or to engage in sports which might be lawful on other days. The whole day is to be spent either in the public or private Worship of God. This God requires of us. We may regard it as a grievous burden, but God grants it as a special privilege. Men of the world and mere nominal Christians do regard the Sabbath as a wearisomeness. Back-slidden Israel longed that it might-be gone, that they might sell and get gain, but the true child of God, the growing Christian, delights in the Sabbath. In the observance of the Sabbath there are two extremes. The one is that Pharisaical, 'rigorous mode of observance which makes the day gloomy and religion hateful. This is to l>e avoided. The provisions of God's grace are never to be presented so as to make them repulsive. The other extreme is devoting the. day to secular amusements. The implements of agriculture are laid aside, but the mind is set upon social reveling. Both extremes are to be avoided as sinful and dangerous. The golden mean is the right mode. There is one feature connected with the Sabbath which is seldom made an object of thought. It is the fact that the Sabbath is a foretaste of Heaven. There remains, the Scriptures tell us, a rest for the people of God. Properly translated, this sentence would read thus: There remains, therefore, a "Sabbath" for the people of God. The poet says, "In Heaven our Sabbaths shall have no end." This is, no doubt, true. Heaven will be an endless Sabbath. i^Very much of the desire for rest grows out of restlessness, or the want of satisfaction and contentment, in situations of God's providence. Men are not wearied with their work, but are fretted and tired out with their discontent, and by the feverish spirit that makes them want something they don't possess. A proper appreciation of their callings, which would give them a joy in their labor and a fondness for the objects to which it is devoted, would cause them to find a refreshment in that which as things are, produce exhaustion. Many a life would be made to bud and blossom with new vigor, not by being transplanted and tossed about in an unaccustomed air and scenery, but by being made to strike its roots more deeply in the soil, and to stand more firmly in its place. 1ST Hope to the soul is as an anchor to a ship in a (lark night on an unknown coast, ana anna n boisterous ocean. It is the most eminent of all advantages which religion now confers, as it is the universal comforter ; and indeed if it were entertained with that full persuasion which faith demands, it would banish discontent, extinguish grief, and render life much more pleasant than it generally is. gg" Let every parent remember that his child will follow his example, and not his precept, where they conflict with each other. It is in vain that you tell your boy not to do what you do. Indeed, correct precept is positively harmful when conjoined with wrong practice, for to the child it seems as if you were superadding hypocrisy to wrong doing. Don't forget this.

The man or woman who is not trying to be helpful to others cannot be more than half a Christian. The very essence of Christianity is love in action.
