I'?w a Toothful mother.
Once on a summer's day,
Set down smiling infant,
To watch its frolic play;
V It gamboled on the flowers
That decked the carpet o'er,
And seemed, with childish wonder,
Each object to explore.
A something on the instant
Its glad career arrests ;
And earnestly it gazes where
A golden sunbeam rests ;
While on the new found glory
It Axed its wondering eyes,
And truthfully reached forth his hand,
To seize the glittering prize.
And now its tiny fingers clasp
The treasure rich and rare,
"Which in its baby innocence
It surely thought was there.
But ah ! that hand uncloses,
And to its earnest gaze
Reveals no gem of beauty?
No bright imprisoned rays !
And then the first of many tears
Fell on the cherub face?
The first sad disappointment
In life's uncertain race !
And thus it has been with us all.
Who its dark game have played?
We've sought to grasp the sunshine,
And only found the shade.
H UMOR IST'S O LI o7~
Paddy Coon HuntingAx
Irishman of our acquaintance,
named Michael O'Roger, who settled
in this part ot the country some years
ago, lately received an unexpected visit
from his brother Pat, who was direct
from the u sod." Mick heartily
welcomed his brother, and resolved to
J- S.LJ _ I
ww uvurymiug in nis power to make
his visit Hti agreeable one. .Accordingly
at the end of the second day af- J
ter Pat's arrival?which had been
spent t>y them in a general carousal? !
Mick armed his brother with a shillalah,
and led off in the direction of a
cornfield about half a .mile distant,
whcro he acsured Pat they would enJoy
a rare evening's sport, coon hunting.
The night was too dark to distinguish
objects of their search at any
great distance, but on entering the
field, and setting up a wild yell, soon
discovered, by the rustling of the cornstalks
in various directions, that they
had been successful in routing several
of them from their hiding places.?
Mick's keen eyes were now fixed upon
a large tree, which stood a few
yards distant, nnd he soon had the satisfaction
of detecting an object moving
up its trunk at a rapid rate. This
he knew to he a coon, and with a shout
of joy he rushed towards the tree, calling
on his brother to follow up. In a
moment the two sportsmen were under
tho tree. Mick prepared for a climb,!
and directed Pat how to act when the
coon reached the ground :
" H'll be after in akin' a great noise!
to get away," said Mick, " but for yer (
life don't let him escape ye."
" Och, be off up the tree wid ye," j
answered Pat, nourishing his shillalah,
evidently growing impatient for the
sport, " niver tear but I'll put and ind
to him when he comes down."
Mick now commenced climbing the ;
tree with all possible haste, and succeeded
very well in the ascent, until he!
reached the first branches, and became j
hid from the wild gaze of his brother,
when ho paused a moment to ascertain
in what part of the tree the coon had |
taken lodgings. While matters were
in this state the coon made a sudden
move among the branches, which so
started Mick that he unfortunately let
go his hold and foil headlong to the
ground.
Pal supposing him to be the coon,
rushed furiously upon him with hisj
shillalah, and commenced the delight-1
ful operation of " putting and end to:
him.
" Murther ! murther 1" cried Mick, j
Attempting to rise to his feet, " in the
na me of St. Patrick, don't he afther
bating me to death !"
"Ye needn't he givin' me any iv
yer dirty excuses," answered Pat,
" share me brithcr tould ye'd be afther
iiiwn.ii* u gre?t noise 10 git away, Dut 1
not a fut ye'll move out o' this alive.'1!
Mick now supposing his brother to j
be crazy, thought it time to make n
desperate struggle tor life; so seizing
Pat by the lo^s, lie succeeded in throwing
him to the ground, whereupon a
rough and tumble fight commenced,!
which lasted for some time, without
either ot the brothers uttering a word.
After a violent contest, however,
Mick came off victorious!}', Pat being
so completely subdued, as to render
him helpless. But, fearing it was all i
over with him, began to call widly on i
Mick to hasten down from the tree and
assist hirn, or the 44 ugly baste" would
have his life.
By this time Mick fully comprehended
the error Into which his brother
had fallen, and commenced using
every means in his power to bring hirn
to his senses, which after a great deal
of persuasion, he succeeded in doing.
. .. . ... ; . J . - . - ft
i' i mmmmm
But the coon was allowed to escape
unharmed, as neither ofthe adventurers
felt in a humor for continuing the hunt
that night. Indeed, it was Pat's first
hunting scrape, and he swore by all
the saints it should be liis last.
Bound to Karry Somebody
A young couple from Southern Illinois,
or Egypt, came to this city the
other day, tor the avowed purpose of
getting hitched together in the traces
of matrimony. The bride was a full?rown,
red-cheeked, sandy-haired maicn,
with a well developed bust, and a
frwifc 1 \ lr*> tlin ninninnafi
..nv vmv vuiViuiinu pittllv/i in?
broad enough to cover the whole country.
Her gallant was six feet and an
inch, with a fist like a sledge hammer,
and a shock of hair like the remains of
a small hurricane. He was rather
verdant to be so far from home; but as
love can transmogrify an oyster into a
sword-fish, it was working wonders in
the enamored sucker, lie " put ifp "
with his intended, at a boarding-house
up town, and immediately started to
get a shave, and a justice of the peace.
The barber took on his wiry beard in
short order, and gently hinted that he
wanted shampooning.
"Sham what?" said the Ulinoisan
?never having heard the term used
before. On being told what shampooning
meant, lie consented to undergo
the operation?his head was
thoroughly scoured and scrubbed, lathered
and rubbed, washed and squeezed,
and ho felt like a new man. But
the shampooning had so bewildered 1
his brains that when he left the barber's
ho was perfectly oblivious as to
the course he should steer, to return to j
his bride. He wandered about the j
city in perfect bewilderment, and has
not been seen since.
The lady, in the meantime, had
awaited in great anxiety for the return
of her swain, and finding he did not
come, concluded he had incontinently
absquatulated. She declared, however,
that she wotdd never go back to
Egypt without a " feller" of somo sort,
and hinted that she wasn't over partic- j
ular what name she went by hereafter. I
A good looking young boatman, who!
was stopping at the house, hearing of}
the you 11 if lady's distress, concluded n?i
w buck up" himself; he was not long
in making known his intention, and
' his advances were received in nhout
tlie same spirit that a pet cat submits
to the caresses of a soft hand. When
the boatman put the important question,
the girl replied,
" Well, I don't care ef I do. I was
focht over here to git married, and I'm
bound t?> marry somebody afore I go
hack. The gals in the bottom would ,
never git done laughing at me cf I
went home without a feller."
The couple were accordingly united ,
in due form, ami when hist heard from
were the happiest, pair this side of Salt
Lake.?St. JLouis Herald. j
All Depends on the Religion.
A few days since, a certain minister *
of a certain Episcopal church,in a certain
village, not tar from Buffalo,started in
his buggy to fulfil an appointment in a
town some twenty miles distant, lie 1
had driven but a few miles when he
-i .i i? - i -

lame, ami as the evidence began to
draw nigh, he deemed it best to 6toj>
for the night. In a short time he came *
to a farm house, in front of which stood *
a yeoman, considerably advanced in
years, when tho following converse- *
tion took place :
Minister?"Can you toll mo, mv '
friend, how far it is to a house of entertainment
Yeoman?"Well, if you mean a
tavern, Mister, about twenty miles; '
but if you mean a house of entertainment,
we have one ourselves."
Minister?" Ah, very good, my |
horse is quite lame, as you see, and I
had somewhat fatigued myself. Can
you accommodate us for the night?"
Yeoman?"Waal, ves, we can accommodate
you, but if you are a clergyman,
1 must tell you that the fare
you will get depends on your religion."
Minister?" How, sir, g*>od sir ?"
Yeoman?" Why, you see, if a minister

him the best we have got; if he is a
Baptist or a Methodist he gets a pretty
good living; but if he is an Episcopalean
he can't expect much. We don't
think much ot Episcopalians out this
way."
Minister?(smiling.) 44 Well, my
friend, I am sorry to know that your prejudices
arc so deeply iml>edded; I am
an Episcopal clergyman, and I suppose
I must content myself with a picked
up meal; but let me assure you of one
thing?My horse is the bluest Presbyterian
you ever saw."
The yeoman was not so obstruse that
he did not discover and appreciate the
Minister's joke?a joke which, by the
way, procured both for man and beast,
the best that the farmer's lArder and
burn afforded.? Yankee Notion#.

Person ai..?A punctilious English
man, riding on a stage-box, in Maine,
was surprised to hear the driver familiarly
address him thus : " Captain,
I guess we'll have rain 'fore long." i
Our English friend pulled up his shirt
collar, and looked away. Shortly after
the driver made another obeerva- i
tion, whereupon, the gentleman said,
" My man, 1 11 thank you not to addross
yourself to me," and unconsciously
pulled at his dicky again ; but
the good natured loquacity oi the dri
! ver was not so easi ly repressed, for
wlieu again it had been reouked with
another pull at the dicky, it. broke out
in this overwhelming manner .: " Look
here, captain, if von pull your collar
much more you'i I jirk up your shirt"
tail." Tire Englishman confesses that
it was impossible for him to maintain
his habitual reserve from the instant,
so passing from one extreme to the
other, he indulged in repeated out
bursts of merriment, in which the driver
heartily joined, and they parted at
the journey's end upon the best terms.
A Hard Swearer.?A good story
is told of a tall raw-boned fellow, who
went into a market house at Boston?
perhaps the Quincy?and seeing a
large nog on exhibition, was mightily 1
struck with it.
44 I swear," said he, " that's a great
hog. I swear I never saw a finer one
in my life. I swear what short legs
he's got. I swear "
44 Lool? here, friend," said a little
dry-looking individual trotting up,
44 you musn't swear so."
" I swear I should like to know
why," said the hard swearer, with an
ominous look.
11 Because," said the little man,
" swearing is agin the law, and I 6hall
have to commit you!" drawing himself
up.
u Are you a justice of the peace ?"
inquired the swearer.
" l es, sir," was tlie reply.
"Well, I swear!" said the profane
one "I am more astonished at that
than I was about the hog J"

TueSimiygmobcopk.?A London phy- J
lician has invented a noble instrument,
jailed the sphygmoscope, for indicatng
tho movements of the heart. The
Instrument consists of a small chamber
tilled with spirits of wine, or other liquid
provided with a thin India rubber
.vail where it is applied to the chest.
\t the opposite extremity, the chainDer
communicates with a glass tul>o,
.vhich rises above the level of the chum[>er.
Tho liquid is put into the initrument
until it stands in the tube a
ittle above the chamber, tho pressure
>f the liquid in the little tube acts up>n
tho elastic or yielding wall of India
rubber, and causes it to protrude.?
When the India rubber chest piece
receives an impulse on its exertion, it
causes the liquid to be torced up tho
tube. Tho protruding wall of In
lii? runner is uriven inward, wnen it is
brought in contact with that portion of
tbo chest which is struck by tlio apex of
the heart, and a rise in the tube takes
place. The tube is supplied with a
graduated scale, to denote the rise and
fall with exactitude; on tho top of the
glass tube is a collar, to prevent the
egress of tho linnid; when employed,
this collar or valve is left open for the
passage of the air.
Pkrskvkraxce Kkwardkd.?A case
of perseverance worthy of record recently
occurred in Boston. \ merchant
there had a pile of lumlxir on the
dock, which was to he shipped at once.
The day tiefore shipment it uuowed
and covered the lumber up. A gang
of laborer* conld not be lmd, and what
to do ho didn't know. He was accosted
bt a young man to know the time,'
i
when he asked him why he did not
carry a watch. $he young man said
he could not afford it. The merchant
told him he would give him his watch
(worth $200)if he Would digthe boards
out by breakfast time. The young
man attempted the task, and accomplished
it working by moonlight all
night, and the next day's sun shone
upon the ecenoofhis )nl>on?. displaying
a vase pile of Iwards, over tioo
hundredfeet in lerujth, fifty in width,
and ftix in height., llaving accomplished
his task, he shouldered his
shovel and started home to breakfast,
after which he repaired to the counting
room of the astonished merchant for the
nrizo which lie hail so fairlv earned.?
the latter promptly paid the forfeit.
The young man is a lsostonian, about
twenty-one years of age, and unused
to laborious employment.
Good and Bad Sions.?It's a good
sign to see a man doing an act of charity
to his fellows; it's a bad sign to
hear him boasting of it.
It's a good 6ign to see the color of
health in a man s face; it's a bad sign
to see it all concentrated in his nose.
It's a good sign to see an honest
man wearing old clothes; it's a bad
sign to see them filling holes in the
windows.
It's a good sign to see a woman
dressed with taste and neatness ; it's a
bad sign to see her husband sued for
her feathers and foolery, gems and
jewelry?Facts and Fancies.

examined tlieni with great core, and am eonvit.ced
that they are the best Lightning Rods ever
constructed. The methods o? attraction and insulatiou
me new, and seem to me to be perfect.
I can confidently recommend them to all persona
wishing to secure their houses against lightning.
