There had been a long period of silence when Mr. Defoe suddenly exclaimed as above. "What is it, dear?" she responded. "Say, we've got tired of playing games, and what do you say to private theatricals ?" "How?" "Why, we'll get three or four of the neighbors to join in, and we'll meet at each other's houses and have regular plays." "That will be splendid !" she gasped. "Hanged if it won't! Wonder we never thought of it before. Twenty dollars will get us ail tne scenery we wane, ana eacn one can furnish his own wardrobe. By gum ! we've got the idea now!" "What sort of a play could we play?" she asked, as he marched up and down with tragK ic step. "I have it?aha,'- he exclaimed, as he stopped short. "Don't you remember I started . to write a play five years ago ? I'll finish it, and we'll bring it out. Now let's see how the characters run. There is the Count Dumdoff, who is in love with Geraldine the Fair. I'll be the Count, of course, as be is the hero. He kills four men, rescues Geraldine from several dangers, and there is a good deal of kissing and love-making, and a happy marriage." "And I'll be Geraldine." "You ! Oh, you couldn't play that part. She must be young and vivacious. Let's see! I think I'll cast you for Hannah, who keeps a bakery near a park in Paris." "I'd like to see myself playing Hannah in a bakery, I would !" she defiantly answered. "Tf rnn win nlftv Dnmdnff T can nlav Geral J I?J J?J dine." "Ob, no, you can't my love. You are a " little stiff in the knees, and how you'd look throwing yourself in my arms as the villains pursue. I shall cast that little Widow D. for Geraldine." "Then there'll be two Geraldines of us! If you can play-Duradoff with your lame back and catarrh, I know I can play Geraldine with this little lameness in ray left knee." "Now you listen to reason, Mrs. Defoe. You aren't built for a Geraldine; you are too fat; your feet are too large ; you haven't got the voice for it." "And you'd make a pretty Count Dumdoff, you would !" she fired back. "You want to get that crook out of your back, that bald head shingled over, your mouth repaired, and your eyes touched up with a paint-brush ! I think I see you killing four villains?ha! ha ! ha 1" "Woman ! do not anger me!" he said, in a deep-toned voice, as he rose up. "And don't you anger your Geraldine either!" "Geraldine! Why, you don't know a skyborder from a flat!" "Dumdoff! And you don't know a Skye terrier from the big fiddle in the orchestra!" nKTV- 11 ? lir_?11 1 _1 ! 1 lis wen i wen nave no piayiug uere: "Then you needn't!

HE COULDN'T CUBE HIMSELF. Yesterday two colored men passed each other on the street, when just after passing one remarked : "'Ferual raskel as eber libed !" "Who's a raskel ?" demanded the other man, turning around spitting on his hands, and grasping his stick. "Does yer call me a raskel?" "Did I say dat yer was a raskel ?" said the insulter, somewhat startled at the man's belligerent demonstrations. "I didn't 'fer to yerself." "Yes, yer did, sah; and I'll maul you right heah." "I tell yer dat I'se as innercent as a chile ; an' ef yer hits me wid dat stick, ole man, yer'll hab to answer mighty loud ferde transac in de udder worl!" " toplain why yer said "femal raskel jes as yer passed me, sah, or I'll make yer hide look ashier dan it do. 'Splain right now. 'Splaiu, I tell yer!" "Ole gen'leman," said the insulter, beginning slowly, and evidently not knowing what he was going to say, "some people is dieted ter mighty cuis habets. I'se one of dese kine. I was mighty 'posed on when I was a slabe, an' when I walks along in a stracted sort ob way, de faces ob dese men comes up before me, I al'ers has a lot ob epithets on han'. Dos yer know what a epithet is?" "Yas, an'ef yer doan hurry up an' give me a explanation, I'll knock all de epithet offeu de top ob yer head !" "I'se 'splainiu. De white folks treat me mighty bad, an' now ebber time I sees one ob dem in my mind, I 'plies to him one ob my epithets. I allers keeps on han' a lot of rascals, liars, thieves, cowards, sneaks, goats, hogs an' dogs. Jis now I happened to see in ray mine de face ob a man who uster whale me, an' sarchin' roun' in my mind I found de epithet what was suitable an' 'plied it You happened ter heah me an' thought dat I was furrin' ter you." "Dat is putty good way to 'splan yerself, but didn't yer 'fer ter me case I cheated yer outen a plow last fall ?" "No, sah. 'Fore God I didn't" "Was it because I driv my mules inter yer fiel'?" "No, sah." "'Twa'n't becase I wouldn't pay yer fur eplittiu' dem rails," and he clutched his stick tighter. " 'Fore Abraham an' de Sabior ob de lan', no. "Well den, yer kin go, but I wants yer ter un'erstan' dat yer can't cuse dis ole man wid de weakness ob de general flesh." The insulter, after watching the honest man until he had turned a corner, remarked to himself: "I reckon I'll had to try some udder plan. He skeer me mighty bad, but one what can stan' up an' vin'icate hisself, sartioly is an hones' man. Dar's jes' one ob two tiDgs.

Gazette. The Syracuse Journal relates that a good mother was trying to explain to a young hopeful the other day about fighting against the devil. After telling the little fellow who the devil was, and how hard he was to successfully resist, he turned around and said : "Mamma, I'd be scared of the old devil, but if I was to come across one of the little devils, I'd knock the stuffing out of him. B&r A lawyer in Virginia, not remarkable for his cleanlinega of person, appeared at a party a while ago with a rose in his buttonhole. "Where do you suppose it came from?" said he to a brother lawyer who was admiring it. The latter looked up and down the entire length of the questioner, and with great deliberation responded: "Why, I suppose it grew there!" 46T Two young men were passing a farmhouse where a farmer was trying to harness a mule. "Won't he draw?" said one of the horsemen. Of course he will," said the farmer. "He draws the attention of every fool that passes." "Why don't you come in out of the rain ?" said a good-natured dominie to a ragged Irishman. "Shure it's av no consequince, yer rivrence," returned Pat; "me clothes is so full of holes they wont howld wather." He Ifatm and J irrnd*. USEFUL INFORMATION.

Earning Your Own Living.?If your father is so situated that the care of his daughter is a burden upon slender resources, you ought to relieve him by working for yourself. Every woman should be able to support herself, if there is need for so doing. Hundreds would be very much happier if I .1 ! 1 _1 .1 1 a. ! tney aid so wnen tne neea was not pressing. We are so constituted that alternate periods of wo-k and rest are beneficial to us. Idleness is the bane of existence. The veriest butterfly among girls would lead a gayer life if she had something more to do than to flit from flower to flower. I am quite sure that the hard-worked, tired-out shop-girls, who have a few hours far repose, are often happier, because more genuinely self-respecting, than are some indolent;, dawdling young ladies, who kill time by reading silly novels, and whose chief aim seems to be the preservation from soil of their soft, useless hands. A few years ago:, teaching aud sewing were almost the only vocations open to educated aud gently-bred women. Now, all doors open at her light touch, and the lady?not less but more a lady if she honorably work? has but to lay her fiuger on what latch she pleases to choose. Work is not play. If she wishes to earn-money, she must give skill, patieuce and unselfish diligence to her enterprise. The market is crowded, and only the best have a chunce. But the young woman who resolutely aud cheerfully t^kes up a calling, and who pur sues it with steadfastness, has as good an opportunity for success, as her brother has in his field or profession. If it be her duty to work and earn her own livelihood, she need sacrifice no delicacy of sex nor lay aside any of her beautiful womanly modesty in doing [ so. She will also have a positive ana not to be measured advantage if in her self supporting career, she can live at home. Iu the best boarding houses open to working women there is much that is not like home.?Ex. A place for Everything, and Everything in its Place.?If we would only follow the above rule, how much time might be saved, and needless wrong and fretting. [ The rule is a good one, and if put into practice once, we would hardly neglect or become indifferent to its usefulness. Much precious time is often lost in hunting various articles, when with a little forethought it might be easily avoided by having a place for everything and everything put in its place. Then, if need be, we might put our hands on anything that was wanted, even in the dark. Perhaps one is called away, and is in want of one or more articles of clothing; they are to be hunted and perhaps cannot be found for a length of time. The one in waiting is probably in a great hurry. The delay may bring serious results. Who is to blame ? But after this confusion comes another trouble. Things have been thrown hither and i thither during the search. Now they should i be put in their proper places. No doubt I many have wished at such times that they 1 had learned to practice the rule, "A place for i everything and everthing in its place." How to Obtain Sleep.?The following is recommended as a cure for sleeplessness:' Wet half a towel, apply it to the back of the neck, pressing it upward toward the base of the brain, and fasten the dry half of the towel over so as to prevent too rapid exhalation. The effect is prompt and charming, cooling the brain and inducing sweeter sleep than any narcotic. Warm water may be used though most persons prefer cold. To those who suffer from over-excitement of the brain work or pressing anxiety, this simple remedy has proved an especial boon. IST Rust can be taken off tools, or any implements of steel, by adopting the following process: Place the article in a vessel containing kerosene oil, or wrap the steel up in a soft cloth well saturated with kerosene; let it re- i main twenty-four hours or longer ; then scour the rusty spots with brickdust. If badly rusted, use salt wet with hot vinegar. After ; scouring, rinse every particle of brickdust or ' salt off with a clean flannel cloth and a little sweet oil. The common sun-flower Is claimed to l>e a powerful absorbent of noxious and malarious; odors, and its growth is recommended as a preventive of malarial diseases.

CONDUCTED BY REV. ROBERT LATHAN. [ Original.] CONVERSION. In theological works, the word conversion is of frequent occurrence; but so far as we know, it is found but once in the Bible. The words convert, converted, and converteth, are frequently used. According to its formation, the word conversion denotes the act of converting. Consequently, the import of conversion is fixed by that of convert. In other words, if we know what convert means, we know what conversion means. The English word convert is derived from the Latin word converto, which is compounded of the preposition con, meaning "with" or "together with," and the verb verto, meaning to turn or change. The primitive meaning of the word convcrto seems to have been to turn back or whirl round. If this be true, and we think it is, the proper meaning of the word conversion is the act of turning back or turning round. Any change ?? >' iirifli nrnnrintw hfl culled conversion. XIMVJ, " ' When an individual sells his land, lie is said to convert it into money; when the form of a mathematical proposition is changed, a conversion has taken place; when a general changes the front of his army, it is denominated conversion. lie who, in politics, was formerly a Federalist, but is now an anti-Federalist, has been converted, and the act of changing is called conversion. In theology, conversion is sometimes used to denote that change which is effected by the Holy Spirit upon the soul, and also the change which takes place in the conduct of the individual uiion whom the Holy Spirit o]>erates. In fact, many of the old seventeenth century divines did not distinguish between regeneration, repentance and conversion. What modern divines call regeneration and conversion, were both included in repentance. They did not ignore regeneration and conversion, but they regarded repentance as a more comprehensive word than it is regarded at present. rf ia x?to fViixilr Tint. rliffi/mlt tn nprppivp t.llP difference between regeneration, conversion and repentance ; but it is not an easy thing to define, accurately, any one of them or state clearly the difference between them. Regeneration, which, in the order of nature if not in point of time, is first called in the Scriptures, "being born from above" and "being born of the spirit." The translation of the word "bom," in both these quotations, is perhaps at fault. Most probably it should be rendered "begotten." If this be correct, then regeneration is "being begotten from above," that is, from heaven or by God; or, as it is elsewhere expressed, "being begotten of the Spirit." Regeneration is, therefore, a change produced on man's soul by the Holy Spirit. With propriety it may be called a spiritual change. The soul dead in trespasses and sins is quickened into life. It matters not by what name the act be called, it is as conclusive proof of omnipotence, as the creation of a world out of nothing, or to sustain in being the universe. It is a change from death to life. Conversion is a change; but it is not such a change as is implied in regeneration. The latter refers to the spiritual state or condition of the soul, while the former refers to the motions of the soul. So soon as the soul is regenerated, a change in its motions or tendencies take place. It turns away from sin and turns to God. Another difference which exists between regeneration and conversion, is that in the former the soul'is passive, or does nothing; while in [ the latter it is active, or co-operates with God. This is most evident from the language of the Scriptures. "We are said to be "quickened," w iicn ucau 111 nc3|?oooio aim omo, xu kuiuiu^ from sin unto God, the soul is active and alive unto good works. The difference between conversion and repentance, is not easily stated. Botli are a turning from sin unto holiness; but the turning in conversion seems to be limited to the soul in its first motions or tendencies, while in repentance, both soul and body are included. Repentance is a step farther in the process of which regeneration is the beginning. . There is no sorrow in regeneration. Neither is there any in conversion; but repentance is always accompanied with godly sorrow for sin. Regeneration, conversion and repentance, whatever may be their agreement or differences, are inseparably connected; consequently, we need not trouble ourselves very much about their differences. Whoever is regenerated by God's Holy Spirit, is a converted man, and either has or will turn from his sins unto God, with the full purpose of heart to keep his holy commandments. Frequently the word conversion is used to denote that whole change which makes an individual a Christian. Thus it is often said that an individual is a converted man, when it is meant that he has, by the power of God's grace, been brought to embrace Jesus Christ, freely offered to him in the gospel. God is the author of conversion, as well as of regeneration and repentance. Without being made spiritually alive, the soul can have no spiritual motion. When 110 spiritual change lias taken place in the motions or tendencies of the soul, 110 change can take place in the acts which are prompted by the soul. The necessity of regeneration and conversion, in order to salvation, is apparent from their nature, and is stromrlv insisted unon in the Scriptures. About conversion there are some things very mysterious. No one knows when he was born or when lie became a living soul. Neither does any one-know the precise moment when his soul began to move toward God and holiness. "All men forsook me," is Paul's own account of himself, "but the Lord stood with me, and strengthened me." Here is a golden hint for the young who are put 011 their metal, in refusing a Jibe at their conscientious scruples. The young man who can be laughed into a glass of wine or a game of cards, or a ball-room, may set himself down as a pitiable | coward, who can be pushed by a straw. If he is more afraid of a companion's sneer than of God's frown, he is doomed. Men may learn from example how mistaken is the idea that the possession of power leads to independence, or enables them to pursue their own will. If there is any station in life in which we can do as we please, it will be found much nearer the extreme of the beggar than that of the king. 3ST Men or women who turn to Christ must bear in mind that they are breaking with their old master and enlisting under a new leader. Conversion is a revolutionary process. Better fail a thousand times, and in everything else, than attempt to shape for yourself a jife without God, without hope in Christ, and without an interest in heaven. $?T The Bible, diamond-like, casts its lustre in every direction. Torch-like, the more it is shaken, the more it shines. Herb-like, the more it is pressed, the sweeter its fragrance. gg*' Nothing so hinders a soul from coming to Christ as a vain love of the world; and till a soul is freeil from it, it can never have true love for (?od, 1ST We shall be free from temptation only when we are free from ?sin.
