There's Mary, twenty-five years old, and a real good girl. I shall give her five thousand dollars when she marries. Then comes Bet, who won't see thirty-five again, and I shall give her ten thousand dollars; and the man who takes Eliza, whois forty, will have fifteen thousand dollars with her." The young man reflected a moment or so, and then inquired : ‘ You haven't one about fifty, have you ?"—Laporte Republican. “Dip you get rested ?” Fogg asked of Fender- son onthe latter’s return from Europe. “ Yes, I did,” answered the traveler. ‘‘Got into Liver- pool Friday morning, reached London in the afternoon; went to Paris next morning ; left for Switzerland the day after that ; stopped there for two hours; then started for Berlin and did it up in a forenoon: back to England next day and caught the steamer just in time.

The tradesman kindly proffered to get the boy a new suit of clothes, and the boy agreed to repay him at sixpence per week out of his wages. The first Monday after this arrangement had been made the lad did not come to work as usual, and on his employer sending to inquire the reason, his mother said ‘he looked so respectable she was trying to get him a better job.” —London Answers, One Sunday morning a poor man dressed in “Sunday best,” having trudged all the way from Boston, entered the church at Newburyport and took a seat near the pulpit. Presently the ser- vice began, and the preacher had not been speak- ing long before the visitor from Boston began to show signs of excitement. As the sermon pro- recded his body swayed backward and forward, his eyes glittering strangely, and at length he fell ina fiton tne floor. Two deacons of the church carried him outside, laid him down on the church green, wafastened his collar, and dashed water upon him while he writhed and rolled on the earth. At last the maa recovered his senses, and was asked what ailed him. “Oh, such powertul preaching,” said be. ‘I heard before of men going into fits under Whitfeld’s preaching, but I never supposed it would double me up so.” “ But,” said one of the deacons, “that was not Mr. Whitfield preaching, but only a near-by min- ister substituting for him this morning.” At this point the Boston man became mad clear through. “What!" he said, “have I walked fifty miles, spoiled my best suit of clothes, and had fits, and never heard Mr, Whitfield after all?” —New York Recorder. ome Alter ( he Bath ( that feeling of ( invigoration e and contentment is heightened by drinking a glass of pNHEUSER- BUSCH’, eli Nidvine TRADE MARK. the food drink.
