The Text.?A piou9 old lady who was too unwell to attend meeting, used to send her thick-headed husband to church to find out the text the preacher selected, as the foundation of his discourse. The poor dunce was rarely fortunate enough to remember the words of the text, or even the ohapter and verse where they could be found; but one. Sabbath he ran home in hot haste, and informed his wife that he could repeat every word, without missing a syllable. The words were as follows: "An angel came down from heaven and took a live coal from the altar." "I know every word," said the husband. "I am anxious to hear it," continued the wife. 1 "They are nice words," observed the husband. "I am glad your memory is improving, nut don't Keep me ia suspense, my aear, said she. "Just get your big Bible and I will say the words, for I know them by heart. I said them a hundred times on my way home." "Well, let's hear them." "Ahem!" said he, clearing his throat. "An Injun came down from New Haven and took a Jive colt by the tail and jerked him out of the halter." The memory of one-half who attend church is very similar to the above. How Der Poys had it Scharged.?An oldish citizen, who had scraped a few hundred dollars together, started in the saloon business on Hastings street a few days ago, and a man whom he knew and did not particularly admire started in the same business at the same time a few doors above. There was something of a rivalry between the two places about fixing up, and the old man was constantly on the watch to see that the other did not get ahead of him. He had jost settled down to the belief that he was a long ways ahead, when in came a customer, who said : "Ah ! you'll have to hang up your fiddle now. The man above you was just showing ine his slate. He has over 20 names on it since morning and 4 men have just gone iu there after 10 cent drinks." "Ish dot some facts?" exclaimed the old man, thoroughly aroused iu a moment. "Yes, and I'll bet he'll have $20 charged to customers before night " "Uu I shall haf more as $40!

How He Was Cured.?Tfce following story is told of "Fighting Fitzgerald," a celebrated beau, gambler, horseman and duelist. After his return from Ireland, an old gentleman declared his intention of trying to cure Fitzgerald of 1 "s love of dueling, and one day provoked him to a contest. His friends tried in vaiu to persuade him not to go out "Leave me alone," he said, "I'll settle him. I have got the choice of arms. Each of us shall be mounted, each choose his own weapon, a space shall be marked out, and who ever first crosses the boundary shall be declared vanquished." Fitzgerald being informed of these strange proposals, did not like to refuse, and, confident in his admirable horsemauship and skill with all weapons, accepted. He appeared on the ground superbly mounted on a fiery steed and armed with pistols. To the surprise and mirth of all, the old mau trotted up on a donkey, carrying a bladder with dried peas iuside, aud a scarlet cloak in his hand. Waving the cloak aud shaking his rattle, he rode into the space. Off started the fiery courser, aud before Fitzgerald knew where he was, he had crossed the lw.nn.lurv an/1 lnof tlio filial Thp ridiplllp was too much for him, and he never "went out" again. Corot and Codfish.?Corot, the artist, once accepted an invitation to dine with a student of his, who was by no means too well off. "You will have to excuse my wife," said the host, when Corot arrived, "but forget ting all about your coming, she has prepared for dinner some picked-up codfish." "What ?" cried Corot, "picked up codfish ! If there is anything in the world I am fond of it is picked-up codfish ? And he partook of the inexpensive dish so heartily that his student was convinced and cried warmly: "Since it is one of your favorite dishes, come and dine with me every Friday?we always have it." Kegularly o'Fridays thereafter Corot dined at the house of his friend and student, and regularly they had picked-up codfish, until one day the host "aid in distress: "You will have to excuse my wife to-day, but she forgot it was Friday and so there is 110 codfish." , "Is that so ? Why that's delightful!" cried Corot, "I never could bear codfish in any way." The Tramp.?There is a tramp who haunts the east end of Galveston who has got it down fine. He has reduced it to a perfect system. He has his regular customers, so to speak. He knocked at the door of a house. The owner came out. As soon as he saw the tramp, he said : "Now, look here, last week I gave you a nickel to stay away for ten days, and here you are back again." The tramp put his hand to his forehead and was lost in thought for several minutes. Then he said, "You are right, colonel ; your regular assessment is not due yet for a week. When I get back to my counting-room I'll pay off my head book-keeper and discharge him. He has neglected to give you the proper credit on the ledger." "Well, go on, now." "All right, colonel. This is not a professional call ; it is only complimentary. No extra charge." It was a Galveston tramp, too, who grumbled when he was asked to take a dime out of a quarter. He said that the year previous he had been out $50 by making change. Parted Lovers.?They were very fond of each other, and had been engaged; but they quarreled, and were too proud to make it up. He called a few days ago at her father's house to see the ofcl gentleman on business, of course. She" was at the door. Said he: "Ah, Miss Blank, I believe; is your father in?" "No, sir," she replied; "pa is not in at present. Did you wish to see him personally?" "Yes," was the bluff response, feeling that she was yielding, "on very particular busi ness," and he turned proudly to go away. "I beg your pardon," she called after him, as he struck the lower step, "who shall I say called ?" He never smiled again.?Providence Journal. A gentleman in a town near Boston, in-! vited .home to dinner one day one of the dea-1 cons of the church he attended. The guest j offered the blessings at the table, which pro- j ceeding greatly excited the curiosity of the ! gentleman's five year old son, who sat beside j the deacon and interviewed him on the subject. "What was that you said ?" he began. "It was a blessing on the food we were about to eat," replied the deacon. "A what?" "Why, a blessing. Don't your father ask a blessing at the table ?" "0, yes; but be don't say it iu that way." "How does he say it ?" "Why, he sits down and looks at the table and says, "Oh, the devil! is this all you have ' got to eat ?" t&~ A droll fellow fished a rich old gentle-1 man out of a mill-pond, and refused the offer ! of twenty-five cents from the rescued miser. "Oh, that's too much!" exclaimed he; " 'tau't worth it!" and he handed back twenty-one cents, saying calmly as he pocketed four cents, "That's about right." Ibe Jfatm an4 Jitwide. GOOD SENSE. A farmer's wife writes a bit of sound sense to a newspaper when she says that many of the women who complain so sorely of their domestic labor, would find their burdens lightened immensely if they and each member of their families, would put everything they use in its place the moment they are done with it. A good many people, besides farmer's wives, would profit by laying this advice to heart. Observation of the domestic habits of many households, has taught us that not having a definite place for everything used in daily life, or neglecting to replace things on their proper nail or shelf, wastes more time and sours more tempers than all other causes combined. There should be a place for every dish and im plement used in the kitchen; for the scissors, thread, needle and materials for sewing, and it is an easy matter to train one's self and children to careful and tidy habits about clothes. We should not make allowance for the disorderly ways of men that the writer alluded to does. She appears to have given them up as hopeless, careless and provoking; but there is no excuse for the man who, when places are provided for them, tosses aside his boots for his tired wife to pick up ; reads the paper and throws it wide open uj>on the floor, and strews his soiled linen about the sleeping room. It is thoughtless to add so much to the housewife's cares and labors, but it is also seltisli and unkind. Every one knows the difference between the guest who takes books from their shelve.'; and scatters them all over the house, borrows thimbles and scissors and carries them off in her pocket or leaves us to hunt for them through the nouse after her departure, and the careful, observant person who is no more prigish than the other, but who puts things in their right places. The one rasps our nerves and tenmer, and the other I fits deftly into household ways and causes us to mourn her departure. The same lack of order is observable in the frequenters of reading rooms. One will leave every paper and pamphlet he touches askew and in a jumble,! I>erhap8 carried to another table than the one to which it belongs, while the second reader will leave the table in as good order as he found it, and lighten the tasks of the librarian by a habit that costs nothing at all. Women should see to it that their children, boys as well as girls, form orderly habits in childhood, and they will never forget them. In this matter, as in all others, example is worth more than precept. What an Oi.d Farmer Says.?This is .1 j_: c u me au vice ui an uiu man nuu ua? uuw soil for forty years: I am an old man, upwards of three score years, during two scores of which I have been a tiller of the soil. I cannot say that 1 am now, but I have been rich, and have all I need, do not owe a dollar, have given my children a good education, and when I am called away will leave them enough to keep the wolf from the door. My experience has taught me that: 1. One acre of land well prepared and well cultivated, produced more than two which received only the same amount of labor used on one. 2. One cow, horse, mule, sheep or hog wellfed, is more profitable than two kept on the amount necessary to keep one well. 3. One acre of clover or grass is worth more than two of cotton where no grass or clover is raised. 4. No farmer who buys oats, corn, wheat, fodder and hay, as a rule for ten years, can keep the sheriff away from the door in the end. 5. The farmer who never reads the papers and 6neers at book farming and improvements, always has a leaky roof, poor stock, broken down fences, and complains of bad "seasons." 6. The farmer who is above his business and entrusts it to an other to manage, soon has no business to attend to. 7. The farmer whose habitual beverage is 1 ' * * i j ...: cold water, is neaunier, weaunier auu wiser than be who does not refuse to drink. ^ Improvements in Milling.?The scientific department of the Californian contributes some very interesting remarks concerning improvements in the art of milling, developed under the light? of science. Pieces of iron, formerly so hurtful, are now separated from the wheat by magnets. Bran, formerly separated by means of a blower, which carried fine dust throughout the mill, at the expense of considerable power, and sometimes caused explosions, is now separated from the flour by frictional electricity at trifling expense. Science, by the aid of the microscope, hrfs shown that good bread cannot be made of flour in which any large portion of the starch globules have been broken by being reduced to dust. The rising of bread is due to the starch globules which remain whole, while the dust from the disintegrated ones, by souring, impair the lightness and quality of the loaf. It is but recently these facts have become known to millers, and they are discarding old methods and adopting those which will separate the starch globules without pulverizing them. Observe the Birthdays.?Keep the birthdays religiously. They belonged exclusively to, and are treasured among, the mem ories of home. Do not let anything prevent some token, be it ever so slight, to show that it is remembered. Birthdays are always great events to children. For one day they feel that tbey are heroes.

J et or trowsers with pockets, or the first pair of boots, are donned; and big brothers and sisters sink into insignificance besides "little Charlie," who i3 "six to day" and is 6oon "going to be a man." Fathers who have half a dozen little ones to take care of are very apt to neglect birthdays, they come so often, sometimes when they are "nervous," but if they only knew how much such souvenirs are cherished by the children years af ter, they would never permit any cause to step between them and a parent's privilege. Want of Punctuality.?It is astonishing how many people there are who neglect punctuality. Thousands have failed in life from this cause alone. It is not only a serious offense in itself, but it is the fruitful parent of numerous vices, so that he who becomes the victim of it, gets involved in the coils front which it is impossible to escape. It makes the merchant wasteful of time, it saps the business, the hopes and reputation of the lawyer, and it injures the prospects of the mechanic. In a word, there is not a profession, nor a station in Ufe, which is not liable to the canker of the destructive habit. Many and many a time has the failure of one man to meet his obligations brought on the ruin of a score of others. Thousands remain poor all their lives, who if they were more faithfulj to their word, woulc^ secure a large run of custom, and make their fortunes. Be punct-1 ual if you would succeed. O ? T VT t? r\ax?C3 a w a _ OU^lMilinvt in a.a. aaui i/ford young mau boarded a horse-car the other day with a buuch of three roses. One was white, oue green and one of a delicate flesh-colored tint These flowers attracted the attention of the passengers, both ladies 1 and gentlemen. One lady remarked that she had seen the buds of the green rose, and an- \ other said she bad seen the rose itself, but bad never seeu any so perfect and so lovely as this one. The flesh-colored one was also j commented on aud praised. Finally, the j young man volunteered the information that all were white in the morning, and that the : coloring was done by putting the stem of one j into green ink and the other into red ink. Although the leaves were beautifully colored, the coloriug would not rub off, but it seemed as if nature had done the work. It only re- : quired ten minutes to change the color. If well glazed inside and out, both body and cover, there is nothing better to lay down butter in than stone jars, and no better place j to set them than on the cellar bottom, or on a stone lying upon the ground, if" the cellar is j so well ventilated as to secure fresh air at the ' bottom of the cellar. Wherever there is any ! gathering of foul air or gasses next the but- j torn, the butter package had better be eleva- j ted so as to stand above them. Butter will i soon spoil standing in an impure atmosphere. I Miscellaneous fleading. BALD HEADS. Some Eminent*Examples.?If one may judge from the exceptional case of Elisha, baldness seems to have been considered a disgrace among the Jews in remote ages, still a disgrace with which it was not permitted to reproach an honorable man. The punishment inflicted by divine interposition, and at the express so licitation of the prophet, upon forty unfortunate children, seems to persons in the present day?even, it may be added, to those who have lost their hair?rather severe. Lovers of analogies, coincidences and contrasts may be invited to remark that the grease of wild beasts, employed as instruments of vengeance against the little ones who taunted the good old prophet with his baldness, was, in later centuries to be employed as a capillary resto- i rr>! .1 n r* 1 * I _ I rative. i lie strengtn or damson ana me beauty of Absalom lay in their hair, and there is significance, no doubt, in the fact that through their hair both of then) came to grief. Among the Greeks the two uiost famous bald men were JEschylus and Ulysses. The baldness of yEschylus is known to have been the cause of his death, an eagle, carrying a tor toise in its claws, having dropped its prey with the view of breaking the shell upon what it took to be a rock, but which was in fact, the shining skull of a great tragic poet. The baldness of Ulysses is commemorated in the "Odyssey," and the fearful veugeance taken upon the suitors of Penelope seems to have been in a great measure due to the pleasant ries in which one of'them indulged concerning the glittering aspect presented by her husband's cranium. Baldness, however, was uo more admired iu those days than in our own ; and when Ulysses was restored to youth, stress is laid upon the fact that locks of a most luxuriant kind were given back to him. Julius Ctesar was notorious for his baldness, and the jokes made on this subject by his soldiers ou the occasion of one of his triumphal entries into Rome, are only too well known. Nor need the story be here repeated, of the pleasure he took in wearing a wreath which covered his denuded temples, and which, according to one Roman historian, was his chief reason for valuing it It may be remarked, however, that the life-like bus't of Julius Ctesar in the British Museum, is not that of a man who, in the present day, would he considered huld. The hair is not thick, and is brushed forward in a style which indicates a desire to make up for a certain want of hair in the region of the forehead and the temple. Something, however, must be allowed for the complimentary disposition of the sculptor reproducing the head of an all-powerful commander and ruler, who was known not to be without personal vanity.?Pall Mall Gazette. VALUE oF PRAISE. Most persons like to be praised. They are glad to hear honeyed words. Anything said in approval of themselves or their conduct, in admiration of their performances or their possessions, is a gratification to them. What they are praised for is of minor importance, if only the praise is positive and hearty. But there are persons iu this world?and the pity is there are not more ot thein?who care tar less for praise than for appreciation. They have an ideal after which they are striving, but which they consciously fall short of?as every one who has a lofty ideal is sure to do. When that ideal is recognized by another, and they are praised or commended for something in its direction, they are grateful?not for the praise, but for appreciation. An element of sympathy enters into that recognition, that they feel that they have something in common with the observer who admires what they think most worthy of praise. They have no satisfaction in hearing that their purchases are rich and beautiful, that a specimen of their handiwork is beautiful and stylish, that their words are eloquent, their writings finished and forceful, and their actions notable and brilliant; that everybody likes thern, and that they are the best and brightest in all the community. Praise of this kind gives them no comfort, and is perhaps positively distasteful to them. But they are glad to be assured, by one who is evideutly sincere and discerning, that they are seen to mean what they said ; that they evinced a refined sentiment and lofty purpose in all that they attempted or did ; that indeed they have an ideal worth having, and which Uoit n vn r\at?otHfflnnr*lo ofpittinrr fn roo nY\ F f U1 UVAITAMg IrV < VUVlit A* you want to plea.se the commoner sort of people, speak words of praise as freely as you can with truth. If you want to help and gratify the noble-minded few, you must be appreciative of their character and their holiest strivings and speak accordingly. But to do this, you must first have a character and an ideal of your own. Have you anything of that sort? If you have, there are occasions enough for you to exercise the beft of your gifts. Boy Smokers.?Here and there about the street corners and around the doors of places of arauseraeut, you will Eee a lot of urchins, some of them decently clad and presenting a respectable appearance, who are engaged in asserting their manhood by puffing away at execrable cigars. It is fair to presume that their anxious mammas are not aware of the foul habits their darling boys pick up and practice outside the parental roof; but, for their benefit, they should know that it is stated that a French physician has investigated the effect of smokiug on thirty-eight boys, between the ages of nine and fifteen years, who were addicted to the habit Twenty-seven presented distinct symptoms of nicotine poison; in twenty-two there were serious disorders of the circulation, iudigestion, dullness of intellect, and a marked appetite for strong drinks ; in three there was heart affection ; in eight, decided deterioration of the blood ; in twelve there was frequentepitoxis; ten had disturbed sleep; and four had ulceration of the mucous membrane of the mouth. It is easy, then, to see how the rtHiks of the drunkards and dissolute men "about town" are recruited, wlien | there are so many boys in training for de- I lirium tremens and the horrors of dissipation. Louisville Journal. How to OrL Axles.?We copy the following useful hints from the Young Scientist: The efficiency of lathes, scroll saws, sewing machines, and even watches, often depends upon the judgment and care used in selecting a lubricator, and the choice is frequently ill made. Common kerosene oil is often injudiciously used in place of thicker or more bland oil, because the heat produced by frictiou rapidly vaporizes the oil and leaves the | journal dry. Crude petroleum for the same i reason is only fitted for very slowly revolving ; journals, such as water wheels. For very , heavy machinery, or for gearing, tallow and j black lead rubbed up together is the best lu-' bricant, and is also the best for wagon and i carriage axles during the hot weather. For j light running machinery sperm oil is the ; best; good olive oil that has not become ran- ! cid and acid is perhaps the second best, and ! for winter use lard oil is excellent, bqt is rath- j er too dry to be a first-class lubricant. Castor j oil is better for axles in the winter, and black j lead with it is a help at any time. ? How Interest Runs Up.?In October, 1854, George T.

On computing the interest it was found that, added to the principal, it amouuted to | to the enormous sum of 89,000,000 and a de- j fault judgment was rendered for that amount, j Beauty is the mark God sets on virtue.: Every natural action is graceful.

Men of the world universally, and a very large number of professing Christians, have either very erroneous or very illy defined notions of the place the church occupies in the moral government of God. All men are willing to admit, that in a social and civil point of view, the Church is the mo9t important of all organizations. Any form of religion is better than no religion at all. So far as society is concerned, it is better that men worship the vilest reptiles, than that they have no god at all. Any god, no matter what may be the character of that god, exercises some good, :..a .1 1 restraining nniueuces over muse wnu wursnip him. Superstition is better than infidelity. When compared with all other forms of religion which either once existed or still exist in the world, the Christian religion, in a social point of view, is infinitely superior to any thing the world ever saw. This few will deny. It would be very difficult to find a sane man who would be willing to abolish the Christian religion, and adopt in its stead the best form of paganism that ever had an existence. Even those who scoff at Christianity, would turn away from the idolatry of the heathen with disgust. Its social influences are to the minds of these scoffers revolting. Pugauism and mental and moral slavery, are inseparably connected in the mind of every oue who knows its history. This view of Christianity, while it is correct, is still a very partial view of the subject. It is very erroneous, because it makes a small part of Christianity the whole of it. The church, as an organization, is compared with religious organizations devised by poor, erring men. It may be regarded as the best of all these organizations, but still it is regarded as only human. Such a view of the church is as erroneous and as low and groveling, as to compare any of the handi-works of man with the great fabric of the universe. The church is, with eminent propriety, called "the church of the living God," because God, aud not man, was its organizer. In its strict and proper sense, the word Church means the people of God, and not a place of worship. It is true, that by a figure of speech, it is often used to mean a house, or a place where Christians worship God ; and some times, but very improperly, the word church is made to mean the same thing as the wo'd denomination or sect. Thus we often hee.r persons speaking of ihe Baptist church, or the Presbyterian church, or the Methodist church ; and some go so far as to say "our Church," as if the church belonged to them. The proper Scripture meaning of the word church, is'the people of God. In no case in the Scriptures, does it mean a house of worship, and much less is it ever equivalent to the word denomination or sect. in us organic iorru, tne unuron nas uau a visible existence since the days of Abraham. Previous to Abraham it existed, but not in an organized form. The visible church had its beginning with Adam and Eve, and was perpetuated down to the days of Abraham through single individuals. In the time of Abraham, it was organized into a society, and in this form it has continued to the present day. About nineteeniiuudred years before Christ, God called Abrara from Uf of the Chaldees, and with him entered into a peculiar covenant. God pledged himself to perform two I things. One thing was to make of Ahram a great nation ; the other was to make him a blessing. Afterward this promise was renewed, expanded and explained. The name of Abrara, which means "high father," was changed to Abraham, which means "father of many nations." From the time of Abraham down to the time of Jesus Christ?a period of more than nineteen centuries?the church of God constantly looked forward to the fulfillment of the promises?"I will make thee a blessing," and "in thee shall all thefamilies of the earth be blessed." In other words, for a period of near two thousand years, did the descendants of Abraham look forward with intense anxiety for the day to arrive when the visible Church should embrace some of all nations, and not be confined to the Jews or lineal descendants of Abraham. During this ante Messianic period, the Church worshipped God by types and ceremonies which prefigured a Saviour to come, lu the time of Moses, the Aaronic priest hood was established, and its labors confined to the natural descendants of Abraham. This Aaronic priesthood prefigured another priest of a different order, who would come and make an end of sin by offering up himself a sacrifice for sin in the room of sinners. In the fullness of time that period arrived, and Jesus Christ died?the just for the unjust. On the cross he exclaimed, "It is finished." His sufferings were then ended, and the New Testament Church was established. This New Testament Church differs from the Old Testament Church in nothing except in outward forms. The faith of the Old-Testament saint was prospective. That is, he looked forward to a Saviour to come. All the forms of Old Testament worship were typical. The New-Testament saint looks back to a Saviour already come. In his worship, both public and private, he uses no types, no shadows. Everything with hira is real. The organization under both dispensations is the same?identically the same. The same God is worshipped through the same daysman. There is no organization on earth like the Church. It is as much the work of God as are the heavens and earth. The existence of these is not depeudeut upon the will of any creature. They were brought into existence by the almighty power of God, and by an exercise of the same almighty power their existence is perpetuated. So it is with the Church. It is the result of redeeming grace. It was bought with the blood of the son of God, and by him it is kept in existence. It is God's Church because not a single member of that vast multitude but was bought by the Lamb of God. The precepts of God's Word are the offspring of eternal wisdom, wrapped in eternal love, and should therefore be constantly admired and scrupulously obeyed. UarkiUe (^nquim.
