Humorous ftpartrarut. HER MIND WAS CHANGED. A Chicago man was engaged to a Cleveland girl, when she suddenly took a notion to break it off. She sent for hira, and he found her in the parlor with all his presents bundled up, ready for removal. She told him : "I have consulted my heart seriously, and discovered what I have often suspected?that we are not fitted to make each other happy. It is better that we should part?our engagement is at an end." He felt bad, but he looked provokingly cool, and finally exclaimed: "Hurrah ! You're the bulliestgirl in the universe. I feel as though the whole Palmer House had been lifted off my manly bosom." Then she wanted to know what this meant He told her that he had been trying to muster courage to propose to break off for some time, but hadn't because he "knew that husbands at this period of the commercial denression were hard to cet." This made her 1 O mad as hop9. She poioted to his presents and demanded hers. He said: "I'll send you all of'em I can find, but I guess our cook carried off your Tennyson with the marked passages in it. I lent it to her?and some of your locks of hair and fressed rosebuds and things, I burned when was cleaning up my room the other day, and as for your ring, I don't think Cora will give it to me." "The Cleveland girl now wanted to know who Cora was. She was told: "She's the girl I'm in love with, and that I'm going to propose to this very evening, as soon as you give me that package of presents and let me go. I hope you didn't forget, to put the diamond ear rings I gave you into it. I'll give them to her and be $200 ahead. The Cleveland maiden glared at him like a tigress, as she inquired if Cora was goodlooking. The bad Chicago man told her that Cora was prettier, smaller waisted, smaller footed and superior in a variety of other res pec ts to her. The Cleveland girl now became excited. "Augustus," she remarked solemnly, "if you attempt to go out of this house before one o'clock to-morrow, I'll scream. And I want you to understand that our engagement is to hold, and if you don't marry me by the first of next month, which will be as soon as I can get my trosseau ready, I'll sue yon for breach of promise, laying the damages at . $500,000." The Chicago Tribune must have been correct when it said you can't get ahead of a Chicago man, for Cora had no existence whatever. A Weather Prophet.?A pleasant anecdote is told of Partridge, the celebrated almanac maker. In traveling on horseback into the country he stopped fa- his dinner at an inn, aud afterward called for his horse that he might reach the next town where he intended to sleep. itfj* u i.l. J_: ii you wuuiu utse my auvice, air, aaiu the worthy hostler, as be was about to mount his horse, "You will stay where you ate for the night, as you will surely be overtaken by a pelting rain." "Nonsense, nonsense," said the alraanacmaker, "there's a sixpence for you my honest fellow, and good afternoon to you." He proceeded on his journey, and sure enough he was well drenched in a heavy shower. Partridge was struck with the man's prediction, and being always intent on the interest of hi? almanac, he rode back on the instant, and was received by the hostler with a broad grin." - II WelUinvfl^Kfc I "iVSTnght after all." _ W, iuylad, you have been so, and here is a crown for you ; but I give it to you on condition that you tell me how you knew of this rain." "To be sure, sir," replied the man ; "why the truth is we have an almanac in our house called 'Partridge's Almanac,' and the fellow is such a notorious liar, that whenever he promises us a fine dny we always know that it will be the direct contrary. Now, your honor, this, the 21st of June, is put down in our almanac in doors as 'settled fine weather, no rain.' I looked at that before I brought your horse out, and so was enabled to put you on your guard." Fairly Outwitted.?Old Squire C was postmaster, storekeeper and autocrat of his village. He was the wealthiest man in it, but had the reputation of being also the sharpest and hardest man in his dealings with the poor, yet a drunken loafer in the village once outwitted him. The loafer?an old sot gen erally known as "Sara ? came one day to the store trundling a wheel-barrow. The squire was seated on the front stoop of his store, and called out: "Well, Sam, what are you after now ?" "Why' Squire C ," drawled the old rascal most obsequiously, "I want a barrel of your best wheat flour, and I want to pay cash for it, too." "Oho!" said the squire, "That's it, is it? Well, George," turning to his clerk?"Roll out a barrel of that Genesee flour, and help Sara to put it ou his wheelbarrow." This was soon done and Sara very quietly began to wheel it away. The squire had not received his money, and he sprang up at once, and called: "Sam, Sam, you said you wanted to pay the cash for that flour. Where's your money ?" "Wa'al, Squire C /'drawled Sara, "so I do want to pay cash for it, but, you see, I can't"?trundling the wheelbarrow ofF more and more rapidly with every word. Squire C was so astounded at the fellow's impudence that he let the flour go. Sure Enough, How about This ??How do you account for this ? In the lodge, the marshal is directed to retire to the ante room to introduce Bill Sraithers and Tom Brown, in language something like the following: "Brother Marshal, you will retire to the anteroom and respectfully inform His High Mightiness the Most Puissant William Smithers, and His Ineffable Potency the Very Venerable Thomas Brown, that this reverent body awaits the distinguished honor of their irradiating presence." Then the marshal goes out and says, "All ready, Bill; come, Tom, hurry up." In the army, on the contrary, this order was reversed like this: General Bombastes yells out to his aide, "Go down there to the forks of the road?and go as though the devil was after you?and ask Col. Sordnot what in ? he means by being so long in getting into line ?" Away goes the aide on the gallop, which moderates first into a sober trot and then a walk as he nears Col. Sordnot, whom he addresses with great formality, saying, "Colonel, General Borabastes sends his compliments, and desires that you move your | regiment into line as speedily as possible."? Boston Transcript. Arctic Cheek.?A hundred years from ; now Baldwin's Hotel, in San Francisco, will be cut up into canes, and the latter sold at a dollar apiece as relics of a building in which was exhibited the most collossal instance of i arctic cheek in American annals. A gorgeous velvet-vested and cut-glass-diamond-pin | stranger from Chicago was requested to leave ' the house after it was discovered that the only effects, for a two weeks' beard-bill, he possess ed, was a carpet-bag containing a pair of old socks and a bushel of saw dust. "How dare you suggest such a thing," said the guest, twirling his oroide chain. "J am Chairman of the Chicago Committee to receive Grant. Don't you know a prominent citizen when you see one ?" "If you don't go," said the imperturbable clerk, "wo'll have to fire you out." "By whose authority do you perpetrate this outrage, sir ? By what?" "By the nap of the neck and the seat of j your trousers," interrupted the clerk, firmly, I and he rang for a porter. "Very well, sir under the circumstances, j I'll go ; but mind you, young man, don't let this occur again !" and he walked loftily out. I {pKtKxttMM fkadwg. ACTS OF THE LEGISLATURE.

Facts About 1880.?The first day of the year and of April fall on Thursday; the Fourth of July comes on Sunday, and Christmas on Saturday. It is leap year, and February has 29 days. As the girls will then be priviledged to go courting, they will have the opportunity to do plenty of it, as the almanac maker was considerate enough to put five Sundays in the month of February. Easter comes almost as early as it ever came?on the 28th day of March. The year 1880 will have six eclipses?four of the sun and two of the moon?but only one of them will be visible here, namely the sixth, which is a partial eclipse of the sun on the last day of the year, very early in the morning. A very unusual thing about these eclipses is that three of them occur in December?a circumstance that will not again occur in many years. A total eclipse of the sun on January 11 will be whol- j ly visible in California and partially in Missouri. Both eclipse of the moon will be total, but invisible in North America. About the middle of 1880 Winneck's comet will make its appearance in the heavens after an absence ! of five years and seven months. The moon will be the ruling planet of 1880, and the i year will be generally more humid than cold? ( that is, the almanacs say so. The year goes out on Friday.

ROBERT LATHAN, [Original.) GOD'S PROVIDENCE. The word providence is derived from two Latin words, pro and videre. Pro means before, and videre means to see. Hence, providere means to see before, and providence means foresight. "By God's providence" is meant his holy, wise and powerful government, which >10 everciaes over all his creatures and all their actions. Scarcely any one will deny that God exercises some control over his creatures; but there are some persons who limit the government of God. They restrict the providence of God. His foresight, say they, is partial. For some things he makes provision, and for others he makes no provision. Over some things he exercises control; but over others he exercises no control. It is useless to attempt the settlement of this important question in any other way but by a direct appeal to the Scriptures. With regard to the providence of God, the Scriptures teach that it is particular and universal. In other words, it extends to the most minute events taken singly, and to all things taken as a whole. To prove this, we appeal to the Scriptures themselves. "Whatever the Lord pleased, that did he in heaven and in earth, in the seas, and . in all deep places. He causeth the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth ; he maketh lightnings for the rain; he bringeth the wind out of his treasuries. Who covereth the heaven with clouds, who prepareth rairitfor the earth, who maketh grass to grow upon the mountains. lie giveth to the beast his food and the young ravens which cry. He sendeth forth his commandment upon earth ; his word runneth very swiftly. He giveth snow like wool; he scattereth the hoar-frost like ashes. He casteth forth his ice like morsels; who can stand before his cold ? He sendeth out his word and melteth them; he causeth his wind to blow, and the waters to flow." Psalm, 135. "I,?' says God, "form the light, 'and create darkness; I make ]>eace and create evil; I, the Lord, do these things." Is., 45:7. "Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing V and not one of them shall fall on the ground without your Father. But the very hairs of your head are numbered." Mat., 10:29, 30. These quotations, we think, show conclusively that God's providence is universal in mat it extends to an things, and particularly, in that it extends to the minutiae of everything. The scriptures teach that God provides for the wants of his creatures. The following texts may be cited to prove this position: Psalm 104. "He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle ; herbs for the service of man ; that he may bring forth fruit out of the earth. The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their meat from God. These wait upon thee, that thou mayest give them their meaL in due season. That thou givest'theim :tfrgy gather; thou openest thy hand aijfp'they are filled with good." Matthew.?-^^e maketh his sun to rise on the^fand on the good, and sendetli raii^jfifthe just and unjust. Behold the tovfe"0f ajr f0r they sow not, neithep-^fhey reap nor gather into barns; ^J^tyour heavenly Father feedeth them." From these quotations we are forced to conclude that the Scriptures teach us that God opens his hand and out of his great liberality supplies the wants of everything that liveth. He causes the seed to germinate in the earth, and he molifies the earth with showers, causing it to bring forth bread for the eater and seed for the sower. In addition to this, the Scriptures teach that God, as a God of providence, exercises a controlling influence over the hearts of all men. "The preparation of the heart in man and the answer of the tongue is from the Lord." + ** - timL. T J J L/W..4 rroveros, 10: i. " ane j_<uru upcucu me m?iu of Lydia and she attended unto the things which were spoken by Paul." Acts, 16:14. "And he stirred up the spirits of the Kings of Assyria to punish the Reubenites and the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh on account of their idolatry." 1 Ch., 5 :26. It is no difficult task to prove by direct quotations from the Scriptures that God extends his providential care and government to all things. He made all things, and in him all things live and move and have their being. It is manifest that in his providential government, God makes all things work together for the advancement of the gospel of Jesus Christ. In spite of all opposition, the gospel of Jesus will triumph. He who opposes it, is destined to be broken .in pieces. The fact that the Lord will provide, is full of comfort to the heart; but it is very difficult for most persons to accept this Bible-taught truth. "Pay John Williams."?At a church meeting not far from Boston, a man whose credit was not the best, and who was somewhat noted for his failure to meet his obligations, arose to speak. The subject for the | evening was, "What shall I do to be saved ?" Commencing in measured tones he quoted the passage, "What shall I do to be saved ?" He I paused, and again more emphatically asked the question, "What shall I do to be saved ?" Again, with increased solemnity and impressiveness of manner, he repeated the momentous inquiry, when a voice from the assembly answered in clear and distinct tones, "Go and pay John Williams for that yoke of oxen you bought of him /" The remainder of the gentleman's address was not reported. All present appreciated the fitness of the unexpected word in season, and were saved from hearing a lengthy exhortation from a swindler's lips. The incident has led us to think that there are a good many people who, before they make much progress in walking in the way of salvation themselves, or guiding others therein, | will have to "Go and pay John Williams," or John somebody else, the money that they honestly owe them. There is no man shrewd enough to pursue a course of dishonesty and trickery and still retain the favor of God in this world, or a good hope of glory for the world to come. It is best to settle up, square up, and pay up, and then it will be in order to talk in the prayer meeting.?Christian. As a rule, people are not half so fearful of being, a minute behind the starting time of church or Sunday-school services, as they are of being too late for a railway train. How a man, or a woman, will fly around to be in season for that next train, when they want to take it! And how leisurely the same person will be in making ready for church or Sundayschool ! Is it because one can enter there after time ? Perhaps it would improve matters if the church or Sunday-school doors were closed sharply at the exact minute of starting, with a big placard on the outside: "No getting aboard after the train has started!" True.?There is no royal road to learning, said the old philosopher, and there are no short cuts to heaven, and no dead-heading it over the road, or going on half-price tickets. If man has any life beyond the grave, it must be just what he makes it here; therefore, the only way that we can have our desires is to I begin to live heaven on earth. It is a very | simple thing, and the directions might be I printed on a common-sized address card?the | ten commandments on one side, and the ten beatitudes on the other. ! GST "There is no greater mistake than to sup| pose that Christians can impress the world by ! agreeing with it. No; it is not conformity that we want; it is not being able t<j, beat the world in its own way ; but it is to stand apart and above it, and to produce the impression of a holy and separate life?this only can give us a true Christian power." The wind is unseen, but it cools the brow of every one, sweetens the summer atmos- j pliere, and, ripples the surface of the lake in-' to silver spangles of beauty. So goodness of j heart, though invisible to the material eye, | makes its presence felt; and from its effects j upon surrounding things we are assured of its J existence. The man who puts himself on the ground of moral principle, if the whole world be ! against him, is mightier than all. Never be < afraid of being in the minorities, so that the minorities are based upon principles. I THE GENUINE DR. C. MoLANE'S Celebrated American WORM SPECIFIC OR VERMIFUGE. SYMPTOMS OF WORMS.
