TRUBBLE OUTSIDE DE CHURCH. 
Some young darkeys in Atlanta, Georgia, were 
creating a disturbance outside tlie church door 
one Sunduy night. Old Si came out aud said: 
“ Clar out fum he&h, you chatterin'crows, you !" 
“ Amen!” said*a boy. “Go on, now! I ain’t 
gwine ter Lab no foolin' beab ; I got my foot 
down on dat!” continued Si. “I heard yer! 
When yer set yer olo foot down, bit sounds like 
turnin’ ober a dry goods box!” rejoined another 
boy. “Yen; an’if I come out dar an’ fan yo’ 
coat tail wid dis boot, you’ll tint dat yon is sot 
down on de forrerd eend ob de coldes’ Winter 
dat we’s bad beab sence the big snaw in ’40 !” 
The boys left.

SPARKS AND SPLINTERS. 
Learn this lesson: No one cares about the 
size of your foot except yourself ; therefore be 
comfortable. 
A New York paper says that ex-Presldeut 
Woolsey is a graduate of over fifty-six yeais’ 
standing. How tired he must be. 
A true picture of Despair—A pig reaching 
through a hole In the fence to get a cabbage ( 
that lies a few inches beyond his reach. 
“ Have you any poached eggs ?" inquired a , 
customer of a colored restaurant-keeper in Mis¬ 
sissippi. “ Yes. Sab ; all our eggs is poached— 
leastways de chickens dat laid um is,’ was the 
reply. 
“ My friend, don't you know that it is very 
dangerous to take a imp while the train is in 
motion ?" “ Why so ?” exclaimed the individual, 
waking up— ‘ ‘ Why so ?” “ Because this train 
runs over sleepers.’’ 
A traveler stopped off a train at the Erie 
Depot, aud, accosting a newsboy, asked: 
“ Sonny, what is the quickest way to got to the 
Central Depot ?’’ " Runhe answered, aud 
set the example by getting out of the way pretty 
fast. 
“ Are you there ?” Baid an Orangeman to a 
Ribbonman in ‘ 1 grafe,” being about to be banged. 
“ I always said yon would come to lie banged. 
“ You’re a liar,” said Pat, “if it was the last 
word I had to spake! I did uot come, I was 
brought.” 
Several holes were oharged in a drift in a 
Gold Hill mine. One blast failed to go off. One 
of the minors was ordered to go in and see what 
the matter was. “ No, sor,” ho said firmly; “I 
was blown up in Californy wanes that way, an’ 
I’d rather lave mo work than be kilt again.' 
She was a forlorn and mild spoken woman, 
but firm, and as the lady of the house placed a 
half loaf of bread and some oold meat in her 
basket she calmly said:—No, ma’am; I couldn t 
think of taking it. You’ve give me cold veal 
once afore this week and my family hasn’t been 
raised to repeat their meat more’u once in two 
weeks. 
A little five-year old boy was being instructed 
in morals by bis grandmother. The old lady 
told him that such terms as “by golly," “by 
jingo,” “by thunder,” etc. were only minced 
oaths, and but little better than any other pro¬ 
fanity. In fact, she said she oould tell a profane 
oath by the prefix “ by." All such were oaths. 
“ Well, then, grandmother,” said the little hope¬ 
ful, “ there’s a big oath in the newspaper, ‘By 
telegraph.’” The old lady gave It up, and the 
boy is bewildored on morals. • 
After So Much Self-Denial! When Lord 
B— died, a person mot an old man who was one | 
of his most intimate friends. He was pale, con¬ 
fused, awe-stricken. Every one had been trying 
to console him, but in vain. “His loss,” he ex¬ 
claimed, “does not affect me so much as his 
horrible ingratitude. Would you believe it ? be 
died without leaving me anything in his will—I 
who have dined with him, at his own house, three 
times a week for thirty years !”
