Lore Among the Lawyers. As T *ai perambulating the other day up and down Brier creek, now and then catbing a fish, aa I case into the road I picked up tbo following lore letter as follows, to wit J It fee* thus, and from the hand-write it seems te be written by dome one of the limba of the law of jour town: " ' "Mr DKAR BSLOVID : Every time 1 think of JOB my heart flops up and down like a churn dasher.

Kissing for a Wager. Ao amusing incident occurred on the Nashville and Chattaoxoga Railroad the other day. A Tullahoma gentleman boarded the train at that place and met a Georgia frien I whom be had not aeen for sometime. The wo took a seat to gether, and chatted pleasantly about politia, the crops, the weather, eto.— Presently the Tullahoma gentleman saw a very handaome I'dy sitting on the opposite scat tutting the leaves of a aew book. "By Jove, isn't that a pretty woman?" he whiapered to hia friend "Yes, she's paasably good looking," was tbe guarded reply. '■Passably good looking F* waa the in dignant rejoinder; "why, aba's aa lovely a a speckled trout in elesr water, aad a proud looking as a peacock with its tail spread " "Wall," retorted the ether, "eince you thiak her to oharming and ao proud looking, I'll bet yea a ha that I can step over there aad kiss hsr without ruffling ha * -I'll take that bet!" said tbe Tulla homa gaatlssnan with aa incredulous stare, "yoar stock of cheek is heavy, I admit, bat I dkn't thiak yoa base enough for a job of that art." The geatleaMa from Georgia rose qaistly from his sea, stepped ova to the lady, pat oae hand gently on her shoulder, bent down gracefully and kissed her lightly on her ripe, rosy mouth. Bhe blushed eonfusedly, bat looksd a him tsndsrly, nevertheless, nnd smiled. "Well, that beats the devil!" ex olaimed Ae Tullahoma man a his friend returned to his coat. "I never aw aay thing to equal your impudence ia my liie!" "There wa nothing impudent ahoat it," wa tbe ealm reply; "I simply kissed my wits, and I will take that ha wbea era get to Nashville." He got it. Strange Matohaa. It ieea historical toot that Frederick of P ftiasia formed tbe idea of oompelllag aaiaas barwsas ths tallest of tbs two aexea in hia dominioa, ia tbs hope of haviag aa army of giaets.

A Mother's Words. A mother, on the green hills of Ver mont, wss holding by tbe right band a son sixteen yenra, old, mad with love of the sen. And as be stood by the garden gate one morning, she said : "Edward, tbey tell me—for I ne»er saw the oesan—the great temptation of a seaman's life is drink. Promise me, before you quit mother's hand, that you will never drink." "And." said be (for be told me the story), "I gsve the promise, and I went the globe over, Calcutta and tbe Med|- teranean, Ssn Francisco and Cape ef Good Hope, tbe North Pule asitbe South. I saw theai nil in forty and I never aaw a glass filled with sparkling liquor that my mother's form by the gate did not rise up before me, and to-day I am innocent of tbe taste of liquor." Was not that tweet evidence of tbe power of a single word ? Yet that is not half, for yesterday oame into my eounting room n man of fortj years "Do yo« know me 71 "No." "Well," ssid he, "I was onoe brought drank into your preaaoee on ship board; yen were a passenger; they kicked me aside; yon look me to your berth, and kept me there till I had slept off the iatoxieatioa, then asked me if I had a mother. I said I had never known a word foam her lips. Yoa told ass -*f yours at the garden gate, and to-day I ' am master of one of the pioketa in New York, and I enrne to ask you to eoae and see me." How for thst little candfo throws its beam f That mother's words in th| green hills of Vpraott! O, God he thanked for the mighty power of a single word 1 Amusing Mistake. M-. Jamea G.
