to the husband of the lady who died.” ‘Why, does he love you?” was the nex question, “Oh, yes, ma'am, he said I was ihe light of the funeral.”’

A dissipated young man, who had been diuing lavishly, met a clergyman, and jovially accosting him, said: ‘You look rather blue in comparison with me, my reverned friend. But, then, the whole world looks dilferent to a man who has 4 few inches of good brandy in him.” “Yes,” was the reply, ‘sand he looks different tothe whole worid,”

A lady at a summer resort, whose unruly children annoy everybody in the hotel, the other day said to a noted teacher, sithing near her at table: ‘Professor, do you be- heve in the use of rod in the management o! children” ‘The Professor glared at her annoying children, and grimly replied: ‘Sometimes, madam, but there are cases when I shouid prefer the revolver.”’

Qjd Dick Hargood married a second wife he second day ufter the funeral of his first,

whereal the neighbors serenaded him with Chickens, per pair

tin pans. horse tiddles, and yells to signify their indignation. Dick stood it as long as he could, and then went forth and spoke thus: ‘Boys, if you care nothing for the joys of a bridegroom, I think you ought to re

spect the feelings of a widower, the late partner of whose bosom is yet hardly cold in her grave.” The boys were stunned and silently departed.”

A worthy deacon hired a journeyman far- mer from a neighboring town for the sum- mer, and induced him—although he was unaccustomed to church-going—to accom. pany the family to church on the first Sab- bath of his stay. Upon their return to the Deacon’s house he asked his hired man how he liked the sermon. He replied :—

** J don’t like to hear any man preach pol. ries,

‘lam very sure you heard no minister preach politics to-day,” said the Deacon,

“ft am sure that I did,” said the man.

‘Mention the passage,” said the Deacon.

“fwill,” be said, «Jf the Republicans scarcely are saved where wil! the Demo- erats appear?”

“Ah,” said the Deacon, “you mistake; these were the words: ‘If the righteous scarcely are saved, how wili the ungodly and wicked appear ?’”
