Ihmorous tparfoifttt. THE TEXAS CENTIPEDE. Tins interesting insect is not so much celebrated for its amiability of disposition as for its good looks, but, at the same time, we cannot recommend it either as a parlor ornament or as a toy for a child to play with, unless it is a second-hand child that nobody has any particular use for. Centipedes are of different sizes, but they are all made pretty much after the same pattern. They are made up of about one-third sting, one-third bite, and one-third general cussedness. They are casemated with a shell that is as hard as the bark of a boarding house cranberry pie. The length of the centipede varies very much, but if a centipede wants to get a mention in the local paper, he has to stretch himself out to about nine inches in length. We have never read of one that measured less. His body, which is a succession of flat joints, is not as broad as some of the jokes gotten off by circus clowns, being not much broader than an ordinary man's linger. The centipede is built on the iron-clad system, although it dues not make quite as much noise as the English fleet bombarding Alexandria. In faet, the centipede is not musical at all, but if it happens to crawl over a man it will make him very musical immediately. Its head or bow, comparing it to an ironclad, is armed with a pair of pincers, which, besides being as venomous as the editor of a l>arty organ, can bite the end off an iron safe. F.aeh side is armed with about forty short legs, and each leg is armed with a sting like that of a wasp. The centi]>ede terminates in a pair of hooks, which like its pincers, are red hot, so we have been told by an innocent young man who undertook to pick it up by its stem. When a centipede anchors his head in the fleshy anatomy of a human being, throws out his two grappling irons from his rear, and then draws its eighty odd, very odd, claws together, it will bring teal's to the heart of an Irish landlord to see how the little pet holds. The bite of thecentipede rarely causes death, but it makes the bitten party wish he were dead, for a short time, at least, and leaves an ugly sore. The statement that the bite of the centipede does not cause death is liable to correction. The centipede is very apt to become a "remains" after it bites a person, as there is quite a prejudice against it. For this reason it is very much secluded in its habits, living ia retirement among the rocks of old buildings. Its diet is believed to be insects that are not as heavily armed and iron-clad. Why the centipede was created in the first place, and what good purpose it serves, are profound mysteries to the ordinary intellect. One evening, about dusk, a Texas gentleman, of a scientific turn of mind, was sitting on his front gallery, when his attention was called to au extraordinary meteorological concatenation, as circus men say. A peculiar shaped cloud seemed to reach down from the sky, and then draw itself up again, very much after the manner of those cyclonic clouds in Iowa. The gentleman was very much interested in this meteorological perturbation, which he attributed at first to atmospheric influences, when it occurred to him that the peculiar cloud or water-spout might be nearer than the distant horizon. He took off his hat, and found that his surmise was correct. Fastened to the rim of the hat by its hind claws was a beautiful centipede about nine inches, long. The peculiar meteorological phenomena was produced by the insect drawing itself up and letting itself down in its efforts to find a nose or some other feature to hang on to in order to facilitate its descent. As the gentleman had a comparatively short nose the insect was foiled. It died shortly afterward by the gentleman accidently stepping on it about a dozen consecutive times with the heel of his boot. As we have already stated, centipedes are comparatively rare in the well settled portion of Texas, being usually found in a bottle of alcohol in the show-case of some druggist, who has a taste for the beautiful. In this particular, centipedes differ from some men. They are much more peaceful and harmless when in liquor than otherwise. With centipedes as with Indians, the only good ones are those that are dead.?Texas Siftings. Change of Mind ?"There is a certain man in this town whom I'm going to lick until he won't be out of bed for six months after, and I want to know what it will cost me?" So said a man who entered a Griswold street law office yesterday, and it was plain to be seen that his dander was way up. "Let's see ?" inusejl the lawyer. "I'll defend you for $10. Wyou lick him in a firstclass manner youi/fine will be about $25. Then there will be a few dollars costs, say enough to make the whole thing foot up $40. I think yfliat I can safely promise you that it won'ycost you over that." "Forty dollars! Forty dollars for licking a man! Why,\I can't go that!" "Well, pullNm nose then. The last case I had of that sort>h^fine was only $15. That will reduce the gross'&Hinto thirty ?" "I want to tear himall^to pieces, but I can't afford to pay like thaN^or the fun. How much would it cost to spit onSuin ?" "Well, that's an assault, you knovv^ut the fine might not be over ten dollars. P guess $25 would see you through." "Lands! how I want to crush that man ! Suppose I knock his hat off ?" "Well, about $20 would cover that." ,"I can hardly hold myself, but $20 is pretty steep. Can't I call him a liar?" "Oh, yes. I think $15 would cover that." "Well, I'll see about it. I'm either going to call him a liar or else tell everybody that he is no gentleman, or else give him an awful pounding. I'll see you again." "My fee is So," observed the lawyer. "What for V" "For my advice." The pulverizer glared at him for half a minute, and then laid down a "V," and started out slowly with the remark : "I'm going straight to that man and beg his pardon, and tell him I'm the biggest fool in Detroit! Thank Heaven you didn't get but one claw on me!"?Free Press. Eli Pekkins on Maucii Chunk.?Eli Perkins, not entirely unknown in Philadelphia, lectured in Mauch Chunk recently, and here is what he says in the New York Star: Mauch Chunk, Pa, is pronounced Mock Chunk. It is situated on, and sometimes under the , Lehigh river. It is a queer old town. It is built in a crack in the earth. On either side you have to look straight up about half a mile before you can see daylight. The sun rises there at 0 in summer and sets at 4. In January, when the nun runs low, it does not strike Mauch Chunk at all. The people receive their light as they do in Norway in midwinter? from reflected rays. Mauch Chunk has the finest Episcopal church and the best equipped hose company in Pennsylvania. The deacons of the church are the officers of the hose company. The other day the fire bells rang in the middle of the sermon, and in less than two minutes sixty-four members of the church i had sl^ng off their plug hats and appeared at ; the brakes in red siiirts and firemen's hats. I A few miles down the river from Mauch I ('hunk are Bethlehem and Allentown. One day the superintendent of the Sabbath school in Mauch Chunk was examining the school. When he asked where Christ was born, a little fellow answered: "Christ was born in Allentown, sir." "No, my child said the superintendent. "Our Saviour was born in Bethlehem." "Well, I knew he was born somewhere down that way. I got within four miles of it," answered the boy. m A Romantic Fkkxch Name.?A good old Yankee family from Litchfield county, Connecticut, arrived at the States to-day. Their names were Abraham, Isaac and Jacob Armstrong. It is strange what solid, old Jewish names some of these Connecticut Yankees have. I was telling Secretary Blaine about these curious names to-day and' the ex-Secretary told me a story about an aunt of Mr. . Cheeney of Boston who named her children after names which she found in French novels. 1 "Every child," said Mr. Blaine, had a roman- j: tic French name. One was named Valet? j Valet Cheeney." "Where did she get the : name Valet from ? I asked. "Well, it was | this way. I also knew he had a middle name, j for he used to write it Valet D. C. Cheeney. j j One day I asked him to give me his whole i name." "Mother got it out of a French novel," said Valet. "My full name is Valet de Chamber Cheeney. Pretty name, isn't it ? 1 And uncommon, too. They spell it in French i j Valet de Chambre."?Eli Perkins in JVeir York j ^ Commercial Advertiser. ; j fgr* A grocer advertised that he had for sale the kind of apples that Eve ate, arid the next1 day his house was crowded with women. 11 fading far the $>abkth. j CONDUCTED BY UEV. ROBERT LATHAN. | Original.] PROSPERITY. No period of a man's life is so dangerous as : that of great prosperity. Especially is this the case, if prosperity hapi>ens to follow adversity. Joseph, after having been a slave, was, in the providence of God, made prime minister of Egypt. The transition was too great and too sudden for poor, weak human nature, and Joseph learned to "swear by the j life of Pharaoh." In his prosperity, David, 110 doubt, puffed up with pride, sent .Toab to ? iv. -i MJ _n r i rni.? numoer me cnimreu 01 lsiaei. a in- piwua | king, Hezekiiih, after recovering from a dangerous sickness, and being in a prosperous state, grew proud and showed the ambassadors j of Babylon all his wealth. No sooner had the children of Israel been delivered from the oppression of the Egyptians than they began to I murmur. "They turned back and tempted God, and limited the Iloly One of Israel. They remembered not his hand, nor the day when he delivered them from affliction." Time has made no change on the heart of ( man. In all ages, and in all countries, he has been like a brute beast, unable to bear idleness and plenty. When lie grows fat he, Jeshurun like, kicks. It requires a large amount of grace to sustain the individual who is raised suddenly from poverty to wealth. The individual who is made suddenly rich is almost sure to become proud ; and, 011 the other hand, the individual who, from great riches is reduced to poverty, is almost sure to become dissipated. Agur, the son of Jakeh, prayed that God would remove far from him vanity and lies; give him neither poverty nor riches, but feed him with food convenient for him. The reason he assigns for making this request was, "Lest 1 be full and deny thee, and say, 'Who is the Lord?' or, lest I be poor and steal, and take the name of my God in vain." It may not be amiss for us to consider that God is dealing very bountifully with us. Our fields are covered with generous crops, and there are signs of great abundance in the land. Shall we forget God ? Shall we say who is the Lord ? We most certainly will unless re- j strained by God's grace. ggf God is constantly bringing good out of i evil, and order out of confusion. We see it every day, but we profit but little by the sight. The persecutions which have befallen the Church of God were certainly great evils, but they all resulted in great good. By the overruling providence of God these persecutions were made the instrumentalities by which the gospel was sent to the ends of the earth. Persecutions drove the Puritans from England to >fassachusetts, and the Quakers and ScotchIrish to Pennsylvania. It was desperately cruel in the brothers of Joseph to sell him for a slave, but God meant it for good, to save much people above. If we can be saved without faith, it is difficult to tell for what Jesus Christ came into this world. In fact, he had, in that case, nothing to do. The conclusion is legitimate. If it be said that it was the simple fact of his dying that saves, and not faith in him as the Saviour who died for us, then what use is there in preaching the gospel, or in following Jesus, or in living lives of faith in him ? The Bible doctrine is best. It is plain. Any one can understand it. It is all contained in the following short sentence. "Whosoever believeth shall be saved, and whosoever believeth not %v-? ?-? swl M diiiui ue uaumcu. ?+ ? ? ^ Somebody has been successful in banishing the Bible from the common schools of the country, and trashy novelettes, known as Sunday School Tales, are having the Bibles all packed away in garrets and trash closets. It is true, the circulation of the Scriptures is very great. Every one must have a Bible?not to read, but simply to have it. The i>eople of God would do well to consider the probable results of practically banishing the Bible from the land. giT Few of us ever think how short and how very uncertain our lives are. Not only is life, where prolonged to its greatest extent, short, , but for more than one-half of our temporal existence we are incapacitated for the active duties of life by infancy and old age. To- ! morrow is uncertain. It may come, but if it does it will be full of cares. Short and uncer- ] tain as life is, we must, during its continuance, i prepare for eternity which will never come to an end. i <gT We must get rid of both the guilt and 1 the pollution of sin, or we will never be al- ! lowed to enter heaven. God hates sin, and it , is the only thing that he does hate. All men \ would be glad to reverse the order ot things. I They would be glad to escape the pains of hell i and enjoy the bliss of heaven, but they do not I want to give up their sins. We love sin, and ; nothing but God's renewing and sanctifying ( grace can so change us that we will love lioli- < ness and hate sin. < J Good works and good intentions without j faith in Jesus Christ are misnomers. There 1 are 110 such things. Without faith in Jesus Christ, according to the Bible, we can neither [ perform a good deed or think a good thought. < How can we, if our hearts are, according to ; the Scriptures, deceitful above all things and < desperately wicked V < g^*The Bible doctrine, with respect to all ! who are not believers in Jesus Christ is, that ] they are "condemned already." No matter what efforts they may be making to work their 1 way to heaven, they are 011 the wrong road, J and every step takes them farther away. We J must go to Jesus before we can get to heaven. * He is the way, the truth and the light. ] Nothing but the almighty power of God's j Holy Spirit can change our hearts. It actual- i ly takes more power to regenerate a soul, dead 1 in trespasses and sins than it did to create the ' world. In the latter case, God made all things j very good from nothing; in the former, lie j makes a good thing out of a thing desperately wicked. t The death of Jesus Christ will profit only 1 those who believe in him. The Bible nowhere 1 teaches that any one can be saved without faith. O11 the contrary, it teaches most plain- ] lv and most, pinnliaticallv that nil those who i do not believe in hiin will be lost. t Treat'the weak with gentleness, the erring with forbearance, the good with esteem, ^ the aged with reverence, and all in love. Imi- 't tate Christ, who saw in every man an immortal spirit, capable of being renewed in Cod's i image. * It is vain for any one to speak of Divine things without something of Divine affection, i He has not been able to prevail upon himself j to be holy, and no marvel if he fail of prevail- f ing on others. (' Christianity makes men and women more * gentle, loving and true. It gives them liumility, and strength to endure the struggles of r life through which they are called to pass. t c If we are not growing in grace, we are increasing in sin. There is no stand still !1 point. We must either go up or down. Sink ? or swim, survive or perish, we must. If we fail to be saved by grace, it will y tie a complete failure.

Wise and just legislation, the impartial administration of equal laws, economy with fficiency in every department of the State ' government. 2. Popular education is the bulwark of free institutions. Liberal appropriations for the j >ublic schools for the whole people. o. The systematic efforts of the Republican : ' party to obstruct reform and destroy, good government in South Carolina by turning to partisan purposes the appointing power of the Federal government is a standing menace to the people of this State and a growing danger i to good citizens in every part of the Union. J The Federal offices in this State are made r political infirmaries and training schools for * the defeat of honest government in South t Carolina. I 4. Honest, home rule. The Democracy of r South Carolina, representing the taxpayers of j r the State and a majority of the whole people, fl invite and have the right to expect the sympathy and support of their fellow countrymen j " in their strenuous efforts to preserve an intelligent and eqnal administration of the gov- 1 ernment. IJ 5. The practice of packing juries in politi- cal cases in the United States Court in this State is a criminal violation of the iualiena- -i hie right of every citizen to a fair trial by a J jury of his ]>eers. . a 0. The extension of the franchise, as a polit- v ical result of the late war, lias enlarged enor- r mously the number of present and prospective ! _ voters requiring education in the public schools, j The burden was increased, while the ability , of the State to bear it was diminished. The < Federal government, by liberal appropriations j, from the Treasury, on the basis of illiteracy, should helj) the Southern States to cure the evil of non-intelligent suffrage. A national j danger calls for national action and national 1 aid. ^ 7. Civil service reform, appointments to minor offices under tests that will indicate the qualifications of the applicant, promotion by merit, a fixed tenure of office, and no removals, 1 except for cause. ,] 8. Blackmailing public servants, under the guise of political assessments, converts the . public treasury, to tne extent ui ine rouuiuutions called for, into a campaign fund for the advancement of a political party, thus taxing ' the whole i>eople forjiartisan purposes. 0. The present protective tariff robs the many for.the benefit of the few. The duties \ on imports should be decreased, and an early a repeal of the duty on cotton ties, on the ma- h chinery used in the manufacture of cotton a and wool, and 011 tools and agricultural im- * plements, will stimulate manufactures and be J, a welcome relief to the farmer and laborer. i, 10. iLis most desirable that the internal h revenue taxation be abolished, so soon as this can lie accomplished without rendering per- ^ rnanent the existing protective system.
