' \)T f , ? ? ' i '?V? U ' ? '? .'.>?.? Onion* of" thb God Hymes.-^ Danchet, the .French poet, tell us; rejecting tho deification of Hy? men, that he was a young man of Athens, obscurely bom, but very handsome. Falling in love -with a young lady of distinction, he dis? guised himself in a female habit, in or'der'to get access to her and 'en? joy the pleasure of her company. As he happened to be pne day in this disguise with his mistress and her female companions, celebrating on the seashore the rites of Ceres Elousina, a gang of pirates came npon them by surpriso and carried them all off. The pirates, having cotiveyed them to a distant island, got "drunk for joy, and fell asleep. Hymen seized his opportunity, armed the virgius, and despatched the pirates; after which, leaving tho ladies on the island,'ho went in haste to Athens, where he told his adventure to all the parents, and demanded her he loved in marriage aa his ransom. His re qnest was granted, and so for? tunate was tho marriage, that the name of Hymen was ever after? wards invoked in all future nup? tials, and in progress of time the Greeks enrolled him among their gods. ?-?? - How to Break off Bad Hunts. Understand the reason, and all the reason, why tho habit is injurious. Study the subject until there is no lingering doubt in your mind. Avoid the places, the persons,. and the thoughts that lead to the temptation., Frequent tho places, associate with the persons, indulge in tho thoughts that lead away froh) temptation: Keep buBy; idle? ness is'the strength pi bad habits. Do not give,up the struggle when you* have broken your resolution once, twice?a thousand times. Tb,at only shows how much there is- lor you to strive. "When you have broken your resolutions just think the matter over, and endea? vor to understand why it is you . failed, so that you may be on your guard against a recurrence of the same circumstances. Do not think it im an easy thing that you have undertaken. It iti folly to expect to break off a bad habit in a day which may have been gathering long years." If Gerttgo/Washington himself had ouhr* peon 'qrossrexamined by Judge Fallortou before he died, wo baVo no doubt it would have turned Out that be really lied about tho cherry tree after all. ' l'M^ff?rfc-NV^atia^oJa the,,Me? thodist Conference in Pennsylvania last week, to effect a change in the ?ystem of itinerancy, several large and influential. congregations ipro toati^g that they^, would not i he compelled 16 part with pastors who had grown near nnd dear to them in years of faithful service. They | referred to instances within the limits of the Conference where I clergymen in other Christian sects had remained in charge of the samo congregation thirty, forty, and even fifty years, and urged] that no charm of novelty, no ad? vantages of learning or eloquence could equal in weight of influence the trust repoBed by the flock in a man who had held thorn in his arms as children, had.married them, offored their little ones to God's service, and buried their dead. The quostion was simply debated, but the old fashioned Methodists predilections for the itinerant sys? tem were too strong for any inno? vations, and so the Conference decided to make no utterance that could be construed in favor of a change. Wo read in the Bitylc, in the 13th chapter of 1st Samual and 19th verse, that "Thero was no smiths found throughout the land of Israel." Of course not. All the Smiths were living in this country at that time, and they havo won? derfully increased and multiplied since then. # A clergyman in one of oxir East? ern cities was met by a seedy-look? ing man with a flask of whiskey in his pocket, who inquired: "Sir, is this the nearest road to the alms house?" "No sir," replied tho clergyman, pointing to the bottle; "but that iB." Garibaldi wore tho traditional co8tome when he was sworn in the Italian Parliament?a . red shirt, wl?te mantle and bluo cap, em? broidered with gold. "When he an? swered in n clear voice, "Giuro,"| ("I swear,") there was a burst of applauso and cries of bravo. One of Brigham Young's wives told 1 urn tho other day, that when she heard that the Sultan of Tur? key had 700 wives, she felt morti? fied to tl?nk that her husband had allowed an outlandish foreigner to beat him so badly in that line. There is wifely pride for yon. A colored congregation in Day? ton have decided to forgive their clergyman for betting on three card monto and losing $90 of festi? val money. "We is all human, and de game is werry exciting." A Boston lady recently left a sum of money, the interest of which is used in providing the inmates of I tho Home for old women and Home for old men with a supply of I tea. A young lady while out walking heard, for tho first time, her mo? ther's intention to many again, and she was obliged to sit down and cry about it. She could not go a step-farther. "No cotin appuls in school ours," reads a sign on the black-bosrd of a school-honso in. enlightened old Massachusetts, where education is suppossed to sit on the top rail and make faces at ignorance.
