'It seems to me,1 said Jones to Ina w ife, \Vho was walking around Ihe room, with the baby in her anna, ?that women make a great deal ot un necessary fuss about butting a ehild to sleep. Now, I would chuck him into bed, and let lllm squall it out.' 'It seems to me,' said Mrs. .Jones, quietly, 'thai all men are born idiots.' Jones couldn't, for the life of him, sec what that fact bad t<> du with putting the l>nl>y to sleep, but he wisely held bis peace. The next evening, Mrs. Jones came into the sitting-room, where .Jones was reading the market reports, and said: '1 am going down to mother's after that recipe for yeast. Baby is asleep, but, if lie should wake. I presume you could put him to sleep again? iitcn arc so handy with babitiSi 'All right! I'll put him to sleep again in less than no time; run along, my dear,' said Jones, cheerfully. Mrs. .Jones vanished, and Jones resumed his paper. Soon after his wife's departure, .Jones heard a little premonitory grunt from the vicinity of the bed room. 'Hullo! what's that?1 he exclaimed, as he assumed a listening attitude. Uc soon found out, for the jttveu ile member of the Jones family set up a series of yell* that would have done credit to a priina donna. Jones dropped his paper, rushed into lite bedroom, seized his offspring and carried him wrong end up buck into the sittiug-rootn. Thu suddeuness of the attack, nud the tinttsal position, so astonished bis bahyship that he forgot to scream for a few seconds; but when Jones right ed him up, and offered him a pair of sleeve buttons for playthings, John ny shut bis eyes, opened his mouth, and began again with renewed vigor and dclcrminnt ion. Jones abandoned the sleeve but tons, and tried to 'cuddle' the baby up after the maternal fashion, hut baby sternly refused to 'cuddle;' and, with a degree of energy for which Jones was wholly unprepared, and which evinced a total lack of respect for the'author of his being,' Johnny grabbed the palerual whiskers with both hands and bowled louder than ever. Jones released himself, smoothed his cherished w hiskers, deposited bis heir on the sofa, retreated to a safe distance, rubbed his face carefully, smiled in a vague kind of a way, as if lie didn't know exactly where the fun came in, and wondered 'what the dickens Maria would do under sitrii lar circumstances.' Baby put Iiis li*t into his mouth, and looked as if be wondered what his paternal ancestor would do next. I 'There, now,' exclaimed Jones, im mensely relieved,'he is papa's pitty itt le sonny, so lie is.' 'Sonny' promptly resented this by a long-drawn yell that struck terror lo the soul of his dismayed parent. Jones was at his wit's end. lie grew reckless. lie whistled It/ that baby, he sting; lie made faces; be cut a series of antics that would have j drjueufA'ballet-dancer mad with envy : blljL-ull to no put pose. Baby bad evidently taken a contract to furnish so much yell in a given time, and was bound to do the square thing. When Mrs. Jones returned, she found a demoralized-looking man wandering around the house, with a baby on one arm, while with his disengaged hand be wiped the per spiration from his manly brow with the* tail end oft he baby's night-dress. 'It seems to li e/ remarked Mrs. Jones, as she took the baby, 'that men make a great deal of unnecess aty fuss about a baby to sleep Now, I?'

'What money?' inquired Simon, with an air of feigned surprise. 'Lern sue state dc elrctthibtance. Las'yeah, je? arter I had cum ter Little Rock t'rum down lie riber?is yer listenin' ?' .

Now, I inns' hub de money, flif it year has passed, an' 'sides dat I'se gwine ter go out, inter de country and teach school. Gimme my money an' de intruf I.'

'Uncle Simon, I'se mighty glad fur de'striictiou, an' now efyer'll oblcegt me w id du time ob da}' I'll leap ycr.' The old man took out his watch, when ('lip continued, 'I'se tilled, deu, to till de time I ken git, is I?' 'Yas,' said Simon. 'All right,' and he snatched the old tu.tit's watch from its fastening, and putting it into his pocket, remarked, 'De time isjes' de saute as money ter me.

The man that will take a newspaper for a length of time, and then scud it back refused, ami un paid for, would swallow a blind dog's dinner, ami tbeu atone the dog for being blind. He would do worse, than that/ He would marry a girl on trial and send her back with the words don't suit chalked on her buck, after the honey moon. Worse than that, lie wofrfd steal the chalk to write it wi?hf and after wards use it..on his shirts, to save the expense of Washing, and then sue his wife's father for a month's board ing.? Standard. bit EL LI NU ?R KISSIN'Ot In the expression of affection, the sense of smell, there in reason to be lieve, is older in use and dignity than that of taste or touch. Of a Mongol father a traveller writes: "He smelt ed from time to time the head Of his youngest stilt, a mark of paternal tenderness usual among the .Mongols instead of embracing.'' In the Philippine inlands-, we arc tuld, "the souse of smell is developed to so great a degree that they are able. by smell ing of the pocket-handkerchiefs, to tell to which persons they belong; and lovers at parting exchange pieces of the linen - they" may be wearing, aud, during their separation, inhale the odor of .their beloved being. Among the Gittagong Hill people again it is said '"the manner of kiss ing is peculiar. Instead of pressing lip to lip they place the nose and mouth upon the cheek and inhale the breath strongly. Their form of speech is not'Give me a kiss,' but 'Smell me.' " In the same way, ac cording to another traveller"; "the Burmese do not kiss each other in the Western fashion,- but apply the lip and nose to the cheek and make a strong inhalation." Moreover, the Saiuoans salute by "juxtaposition of noses, accompanied not by a rub. but by a hearty smell." There is scriptural precedent for such cus toms. When bliud Isaac was iu doubt whether the son who came to him was Jacob or not, "he smelt the smell of his raiiueut, alld blessed him." Suppose*, young, warm-hearted girls, that, as you lean upon the broad shoulder, in the half lit-up par lor; thinking how nice it is to have some one fond and protecting, and how dear you seem to be to bint? suppose you should be made aware of all the cheeks that had rested oh that shoulder, and all the forms that arm had encircled? It's fortunate you don't know these things. It might lend you, however, to keep yourself more sacred for some one who will love you us entirely as you love this man, who "takes life as it comes," and by force of habit, if pot by incli nation could not remember any wo man six months if his happiness de pended upon it. You ought to allow no personal freedom from gentlemen of your acquaintance. If a linger is put out to examine a locket or chain on your dress, draw back and t:ike it otr for inspection, if you choose. The .reason for this rule is clear to those w ho come to twenty-live years of age. A girl w ho protects herself from the freedom sfi much in vogue in society increases her own value, if she only kuew it, with those she mdiy have to repulse. I don't believe in prudish uess or suspicion, but 1 do believe thut if men aud women are not con tent with the friendship that can be expressed by the frank, kind eyes and cordial, brief hand-shakes and clear words one is not ashamed the whole world should he*ar, they should know what, intoxication they arc sharing.? Courier Jumna/. An outspoken judge had to sen tence a pi isoucr at Danville, Va., lu-*t Saturday, to prison for eighteen years for murder. It was a case where, if guilty, there should have been a hanging, but the jury ruled Otherwise, making a 'compromise verdict.' The Judge informed the murderer that the sentence Was due to the 'moral cowardice of twelve men.' Telling him that he consider ed him guilty, the Judge added: 'You should rejoice and praise God that you should fall into the bands of and were trietl by a jury of your peers.1 "Love," says a writer, "lightens the heart."

Boys not in their teens imagine themselves men by the utterances of a few oaths. Then the habit is so unprofitable! Whiskey will make a man feel in a good'hninor until the pleasant effects die out, but profane swearing is ut terly valueless. The worst feature* is that the hubit is becoming popular with church members, and it brings reprUsch upou religion. The other day we heard several men who stand well iu tho church ripple out all kind of oaths. They; profatif the name of God without any scruple and theif blasphemy w:n so frequent nnd pro nounced as to make the worldly-miud cd shudder. The vice is not confined to any particular denomination. Bap tists, Methodists, Presbyjteriaus, Episcopalians and Scceders seem to have forgotten all their professions, and have been cursing like sailors for the last mouth or so. It is sinful and disgraceful, nnd every man of them should be tinned out of the* I church The habit is abhorrent to civilization, morality, decency sod, Christianity.?Lancaster Ledijer.
