On the second thought he picked it up and placed it in his pocket, but he was still red in the face when a friend queried: "From your tailor?" "I wish it was," was the reply. "No, it's blackmail." "How ?" "Why, it's from a friend who got married a few years ago. I had an invite to the wedding and had to take a present costing $35. "Of course." "Then his first anniversary occurred, and it cost twenty more." HT? 1 ^1^1 <V>1 1 vc uctrii iiicic l/iu ici. "Then he had a boy born, and our set had to whack up on that. I guess he named that cub after at least thirty of us. "Exactly.- And now ?" "Well, his mother-in-law has come to live with him, and this is an invitation to Qome around and leave a seven-dollar rocking chair on her sixty-fifth anni versa-' ry." "And you'll go?" "I've got to go or be ruled out of our set, but I'll have my revenge. There are seven of us iu the family, and I'll be hanged if we don't go at it and hold an anniversary or somejhing or other every two weeks for the next ten years."?Detroit Free Press. Getting the Truth Now by Stratagem.?The feminine propensity for concealing age, and resenting impertinent questions in regard to it, is common to all times and nationalities; but this does not detract from our admiration of the trick by which the truth was got at in the following instance: A man newly married thought when his wife uuvailed for the. first time, that she looked rather old and wrinkled. Telling her so he asked her real age, when, she replied "45 or 46." "You wrote in the marriage contract 38 years," said he, "but you look even more than 45 or 46." At last she admitted 54. The husband was still doubtful, so he bethought himself of a stratagem for getting at the truth. Jumping up he said, "I must cover up the salt before going to bed or else the rats will eat all before morning." "Well," said his wife, laughing, "I have heard^of and seen many strange things in the 68 years of my life, but I never saw or heard of rats eating salt before."?Chinese ivu. ? What He Was There For.?The Representative to the Legislature from Calabash county struck his favorite attitude, glared upon the House and in low deep tones of much deliberature, said with great emphasis: "For what did my constituents send me here?" And then he glared again, brought down his brows and repeated in a voice of thunder as he looked at the member from Blossom county: "For what did ray constituents send me here?" Taking this as a direct appeal to him for important information the little man in the baggy pantaloons jumped to his feet and with nis right hand pointing to the zenith said in tones of taking earnestness: "God Almighty alone knows, sir I"?Chicago Ledger. "Do you think it would be wrong for me to learn the noble art of self defense ?" a religiously inclined Somerville youth inquired of his pastor. "Certainly not," answered the minister ; "I learned it in my youth, myself, and I have found it of great value during my life." "Indeed, sir. Did you learn the English system, or Sullivan's system ?" "Neither. I learned Solomon's system." "Solomon's system ?" "Yes. You will find it laid down injhe first verse of the fifteenth chapter of Proverbs: 4A soft answer turneth away wrath.' It is the best system of self-defense of which I have any knowledge." Was Certainly a Case of Libel.? i "Here, Pettifog, the tri-weekly Clarion has denounced me as a fraud and a swindler, and I want to sue it for libel." 44 Well, are the charges true ?" "Suppose they are?what has that got to do with the matter?" "But how are you going to prove malice in the publication ?" "Sir, I would have you understand that in my case the truth is always malicious." Judgment for the plaintiff.?Philadelphia Press. City Boarder?1"I thought you said this place was convenient."

"My gracious I was afraid you would turn around and kill that man." "Why, what tor?" "What for? He threatened to blow your brains out." "Yes. I am glad you heard the compliment." "What compliment?" "The assumption that I had brains. You said a few days ago that I had none." Jinks?"Why, Finks, old boy, how are you? My gracious, how you have changed." Finks?"In what way?"

A stingy man, who pretended to be very fond of liis horse, but kept him nearly starved, said to a friend, "You don't know how much we all think of that horse.

"You'd better stuff him now," retorted his friend, "so as to preserve him living." t6T An Irish domestic, newly engaged, presented to his master, one morning, a pair of boots, the leg of one of which was much longer than the other.

In the four years that followed the uprising of the South the people of the North furnished to the armies of the Union nearly 3,000,000 of men, and the South gave to the armies of the Confederacy over 1,000,000 more. From less than 22,000,000 of inhabitants, and within the'space of four years, 4,000,000 of men were under arms in that terrible conflict. Contemplate the fact that one in every eight of our entire population, or one in every four of our main population, was actually engaged in the contest, and you get some idea of the terrible drain that the war was on the flesh and blood of our countrymen. In the entire military history of the world there is nothing to be compared to that martial enthusiasm of our .. - ??~i .?.i nation, ine cBieuiaieu u^imiug ui mc French people in 1793, and that of nearly a century later in their war with Germany, sink into insignificance when compared with the tide that moved southward and northward to join the armies of the Union and Confederacy. It is the boast of Germany, the greatest military nation of modern times, that with a population of 41,000,000 she can in time of war furnish an army of 1,250,000 men; but in the war of the Rebellion the North, with a population of only 23,000,000, had in actual service at the close of that contest more than 1,000,000. During the campaign of 1804 and '05, Grant commanded more soldiers than any other general since the fall of the Roman empire. We are accustomed to think of Warterloo as the greatest battle of modern times, but in six engagements of the war of the rebellion the loss upon one side or the other was greater than that of Wellington and allied forces at Warterloo. The loss to the Union army in the battle of the Wilderness nearly equalled the entire loss of both armies on the field of Warterloo. No battle has ever been fought on the continent of Europe with greater determination or with as much loss as that of Gettysburg. But the sacrifice of blood kept pace with that of treasure. Our war expenses during the last year of the Rebellion exceeded $1,000,000,000. The expenses of the great war between France and England during the career of Napoleon and the French Revolution bore no comparison to that of our war. The greatest sum of money during a single year was by Great Britain in 1815, when it amounted to $131,000,000, or less than two-thirds of the expenditure of the North during the year ending 1865. * * * For half a century Waterloo has stood in history, song, and story witha no hiIIqI If WOC tfl tllP flf? uiu a |;ai (invi jlv i* > v%? ?v ? scendants of the men who fought under the Duke in that famous engagement to convince the world that courage and tenacity had not degenerated since the days of Warterloo. Gettysburg may fairly be said to be the greatest battle of modern times. The number engaged exceeded those of Waterloo; the duration of the battle longer, and the loss greater. More than one third of the Union army and nearly one half of the Confederates, were killed, wounded or missing in that engagement. The famous charge by Pickett on the third day, and its subsequent repulse, will live for all time in military history. The famous "Old Guard," veterans in the service of France, victors on many a hard lought field, possessing the courage and spirit peculiar to their nation and race, wavered before the first volley from the English batteries at Waterloo, and at the second fell back in confusion. But Pickett's division at Gettysburg, with less men than composed the "Old Guard," advanced a mile under the galling fire of our batteries, its line unbroken, the living stepping into the places of the dead, and en" - * > x- i 3 gaged our iorces in n nuiiu-wimuu u^ih iui the possession of Cemetery Ridge. About Marrying Late in Life.?A man who marries late in life is in danger of marrying out of his generation, and generally contrives to select the person least in sympathy with him or his pursuits?one who cares more for his bank account than for his | tastes or feeling, who has no association with his youth or heyday, and no reminiscences I in common. Somebody, indeed, once remarked to Mr. Edgeworth that "nobody but a fool would venture to make his first speech in parliament or marry after fifty." Both of which things Mr. Edgeworth committed, if we mistake not. But there seems to be no legitimate reason why a man or woman should not marry after fifty, or why they should seem ridiculous in so doing, other things being equal. Why should not one be as capable of love at fifty as at twenty-five ? Has one age a monopoly of love over another ? May not one love better at fifty than younger, with a larger nature, enriched by thought and experience, deepened by failure or success? The love of twenty-five may be but a flpptimr snrfapp nassion beside this other? a mere sham and glamour, subject to change and chance, which the next pair of velvet eyes may dispel. Balzac says that men are most dangerous to women after fifty ; that is, their powers have ripened and mellowed, and they have learned better how to employ them; love is an ideal to them, and not a pastime; they have discovered what qualities they prefer, what of attractions are durable and independent of age or ci rcu m stanoes.?Harper's Bazaar. Under Heavy Mental Strain.? There are of course immense differences among men as regard* capacity for performing mental work of any kind. Previous training, constitution and temperament are potent factors in determining the amount which each is capable of doing. Some men can stand an enormous amount of mental strain without any apparent injury; others, from what may be called, for want of a better term, "weakness of the brain," are incapable of anything requiring mental tension. The worst consequences are noticed in people of moderate brain power, who, in I the absence of proper training, attempt the j performance 01 severe menrai lanor. mis , case is similar to that of those who sudden-1 ly engage in trials of strength and endurance | after an insufficient amount of training, and | who either exhaust themselves by overtaxing their nervous energies, or induce elisor-! ders of the heart or lung, or strain of some portion of the muscular system by violence of their efforts. When a man is being pre-, pared for great muscular exertion he under- j goes a course of training in which the severity of the work assigned to him is gradually and cautiously increased, and the same rule should be adopted for those whose mental powers are about to be severely taxed. If this condition be fulfilled, if a proper a- j mount of sleep can be obtained, and if the i appetite remains at its normal level, the j brain will bearalmost any amount of steady j strain in the form of severe mental labor. JrsTioK fou the Xeg ho.?The verdict of the jury which tried the murder case in our j last Court, in which Mack Bird, a colored i youth, was charged with killing a young ! white man named Doctor Pickens Rice, j near Sandy Spring, is worthy of more than a passing notice, for it shows the manner in which justice is administered in our Courts. 1 There was an abundance of evidence to, prove malice, and the weapon with which j the fatal blow was stricken was a large stick some four inches in diameter. The proof j was strong and complete that he was the ; aggressor, and yet a jury, composed of i white men entirely, returned a verdict of; mii 1 t\r nf nnonulnilfrhtor iinfl the .ludce illl- i b""V V* n posed a sentence often years'imprisonment. ; It would perhaps have been nothb g more ; than a strict application of the law to the ! evidence to have found him guilty of inur- j der; and yet the jury, in compassion for his ' youth and surrounding circumstances, ren- i dered a verdict of manslaughter. This case j gives a contradiction to the stories of race prejudice in our Courts. Our juries and our : Courts can rise above the prejudices of race ! and do justice, tempered with mercy, to the hum blest.?.1 uderson Intellif/encer. Ueecher preached on humanity. lie said every Christian woman should set her face against the practice of wearing plumage on her bonnet. Every feather costs a life. Wages should be paid on Monday instead of Saturday and should be divided by law between man and wife. Twelve hours a day is all that any man should be asked to work. "It would be a most moralizing in-! fluence," said Mr. lieecher, "if public sentiment would make it unpopular to trade on Saturday afternoon and night. The custom would go out except so far as meats and vegetables were concerned." ftariing for the j$'aMrath. CONDUCTED BY ItHV. ROBERT LATH AN. [ Original.] OUR SAVIOUR'S WILL. The completion of any undertaking is attended with strange and indescribable feelings. When Gibbon had finished the Dedine and Fall of the Roman Empire, commingled feelings of joy and sadness took hold of him. "I," says he, "will not dissemble thg first emotions of joy on the recovery of my freedom, and, perhaps the establishment of my fame. But my pride was soon humbled, and a sober melancholy was spread over my nd, by the idea that I had taken an everlasting leave of an old and agreeable companion, and that whatever might be the future fate of my history, the life of the historian might be short and precarious." Men usually become sober as they reach the border line between the two worlds. Pope, on reflecting upon the termination of his mortal career, gave utterance to the follmvinf words: "Tlie morniiur after my exit the sun will rise as bright as ever, the flowers smell as sweet, the plantsspring as green, the world proceed in its old course, and people laugh and marry as they used to do." The most touching chapter in the whole Bible is the forty-ninth chapter of the book of Genesis. The venerable patriarch, Jacob, at the close of an eventful life, called to his bedside his twelve sons and told them what would befall them in the last days. He had blessed the two sons of Joseph?Ephraim and Manasseh?but a short time before. When the old man finished "commanding i his sons, he gathered up his feet into the bed, and yielded up the ghost and was gathered unto his people." It has been customary, in all ages of the world, among civilized people, for parents, previous to their exit to another world, to desire, if possible, their offspring to be present to witness the sad sight. Such is the custom to-day in every civilized land, and such will, no doubt, continue to be the custom so long as the world lasts. If death does not overtake parents unawares they usually make a disposition of their worldly goods. In other words they make a will. This is wise and proper, for however unwisely parents may sometimes | disposeof what they may have accumulated, it is generally more satisfactory than when disposed of by law, and is attended with far less expense. For a period of about thirty-three years our Saviour lived in this world, "God manifest in the flesh." The last three years of his life were spent in going about doing good. During that period he, as a great teacher, gathered around him a few followers. The number of his followers were never great; for although he lived for sinners as well as died for them, he appeared to the | mass of those with whom he came in contact as having no beauty that should be I admired. When he approached the end of [ his work on earth, our Saviour, like the patriarch Jacob, gathered his followers about him, and, in language exquisitely tender, began to comfort and encourage them in view of what, he knew, was soon to befall them. "Let not your heart," said he, "be troubled. I will not leave you orphans. My father will send the Holy Spirit in my name, and shall teach you all things, and bring all to your remembrance whatsoever T hfl.vp snid nntn von." In one sense, our Saviour had no worldly possessions to leave his followers. He had no land, no money, no houses, and we may say, among the worldly, no worldly fame. The foxes had their holes, the birds had their nests, but the Son of Man had no place to lay his weary head. In another Sense, our Saviour was rich. He was the maker and possessor of all things. All the gold that lies buried in the bosom of the earth was at his command, and the cattle on a thousand hills were his. All things were at his command, but when he made his will he said not one word about any of those things which mere mortals bequeath to their heirs. "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you." This is the last will and testampnt of our Saviour. It is evident he regarded peace as far more valuable than gold and silver, or houses and lands. Compared with peace our Saviour regarded those things which men generally estimate so highly, as of little value. The language of this will of our Saviour is brief but very comprehensive. The will purpose specifies two things; not different but the same thing for the sake of emphasis is mentioned twice. The peace which he left with his people and the peace which he gives his people is the same peace. The mode of expression is very beautiful. "I leave" says he, "my peace with you." This means that he leaves as a blood bought inheritance to his people that peace which he himself enjoyed. When our Saviour left the world he was at peace with his Father, at peace with himself and at peace with all men. Because l.-rv K/n/>a?via om?of*r fnp Qi'nnOP? II i (J I IIC UCtailJU Lilt; OU1LIJ IV/I MV.. er poured out upon him his wrath, but in Gethsemane where he sweat great drops of blood and on the cross when lie died as a sin offering, he was then and always the Father's well beloved son. Our Saviour might have willed his followers the heathens for an inheritance and the uttermost parts of the earth for a possession. These his Father had given him, to do with as he saw fit, and he could have given them to his followers. Really he did give these to his people, but they were not regarded of sufficient importance to be mentioned in his last will and testament. Resides, what would the possessing of the uttermost parts of theeartn have amounted to without peace with God the Father? Nothing. To those who seek the kingdom of God Our Saviour left us as an inheritance that peace which he himself had with his Father. He was well aware that his Father knew perfectly well what his people needed and he was fully convinced his Father would bestow upon them all things which would be for their good and his glory. The second clause of our Saviour's last will and testament renders the first clause clear as to its import, and leaves no place for ambiguity. Jesus not only leaves his peace with his followers, but he actually gives mom inai piwe. neuoesum ?iui|.uvv ji-uw an inheritance to be divided and distributed by some one else, but he himself probates and executes, in the fullest sense, his own will. Each member of his family begins to inherit so soon as he is born. There are no minors in his kingdom. All begin to enjoy the inheritance so soon as they are quickened into life. Heaven begins to be enjoyed so soon as the soul, once dead in trespasses and sins, is made alive in Christ Jesus. The enjoyment is not perfect in degree, but it is in kind. The peace which the followers of Jesus enjoy in this world is the same that they will enjoy in Heaven. It is not a perfect peace in this world. The remnants of sin produce discord, but still "great peace have they which love God's law; and nothing shall offend them," even in this world. Our Saviour adds to his last will as a kind of codicil that he did not give his peace to his followers, as men of the world give their possessions to their heirs. The difference between the wills of men of the world and the will of our Saviour are so many that it is impossible to mention all. They differin that the possessions are entirely different. No man can give to his children peace. He lias no peace. "There is no peace unto the wicked," saith the Lord. It is impossible for the men of the world to give what they do not possess, i le may give his children a ] lordly estate and a brilliant name among men, but he can not give them peace with j God. Neither can he hush the accusations i of a guilty conscience or beat the sword iuto j a plowshare or thespear into a pruning hook, j Jesus Christ only can give peace of conscience. This is not to be bought with gold > or received in exchange for land or houses. | It is the gift of God through Jesus Christ, i Another difference between the will of our j Saviour and those of men is that what our | Saviour gives his heirs is permanent. It. never becomes less. There is no chance to ! be defrauded out of that peace which Jesus gives his people. God once reconciled through the blood of his Son is reconciled forever. Peace of conscience, joy in the Holy Spirit and increase in grace are all bestowed upon the followers of the Lamb, not. because of what they have done, are doing, I or will do, but because they are in Jesus Christ by a living faith, and heirs according to the promise which God the Father made j to his son.
