Miscellaneous. i A Clerk's Story. 'When I used to tend store the old man came around one day, and the one who sells the i. .l nu; IIIUSI litrtwecii ijiw aiiu ii isniinn gets a vest pattern as a present.' Maybe that we did not work for the vest pattern. I tell you there were some tall stories told in praise of goods about that time; but the tallest talker, and the one who had the most cheek of any of us, was a certain Jonah Guires, who roomed with me. He could talk a dollar out of a man's pocket when the man only intended to spend a six pence ; and the women Lord bless you! they just handed over their pocket-books to him and let him lay out what he liked for thenii One night Jonah woke me up with, By Jove old fellow, if you think that 'ere'sgot cotton in it, I'll bring you down the sheep it was cut from, and make him own his own wool, 'Twon't wear out, either; wore a pair of pants of that stuff for five years, and they are as good as when I first put them on. Take it 30 cents, and I'll say you don't owe me anything. Eh too dear? Well, calj it 28 cents. What d'ye say? AH right. It's a bargain.' I could feel Jonah's hands playing about the bed clothes for an instant; then rip, tear, went sometning or an other, and I hid my head under the blankets, perfectly convulsed with laughter, and perfectly sure that Jonah had torn the best sheet from top to bottom. When I awoke the next morning I found the back of my night shirt split from the bottom to the collar band. Vlcksburff Herald. "Why. and When Liamps Ex plode. The following hints from the Seeintific American may, if observ- prevent many of explosions the horrible results of which the Dress h . - daiJy canetl uuon to t v chroniele. All explosions of coal-oil lamps are cau?ed by the vapor or gas th it collects in the space above the oil. 'WTheu full of oil, of eourne a lamp contains no ga-i, but immediately on lighting the lamp consumption of oil begins, stH)u leaving paiie for gas, which commences to form as the lamp warms up, and after burn ing a short time sufficient gts will accumulate to form an explosion. The gas in a lamp will explode only when ignited. In this respect it is like gunpowder. Chenp or inferior oil is always the most dangerous. The flame is communicated to the gas in the following manner:: The wick tube iualt lamp burners is made larger than the wick which is to pass through it. . . It would not do to have the wick work tightly in the burner; on the countrary it is essential that it move up and down with perfect ease. In this way it is unavoida;- ble that space in the tube is left along thesidesof the wick sufficient for the flame from the 1 burner i to- passdowu into the lamp and ex- 1 plode the gas Many tilings may occur to ciuse Ihe flame to pass down the, wick aud explode the lamp. 1. A lamp, may be standing on a table or mantle, and a slight puff of air from the window, or the sudden owning of a door, caue an explo- sion. 2. A lamp may be taken up quickly from a table or mantle and instantly explode. 3. A lamp is taken into an entry where there 13 a draft, or out of I doors, and an expolsion ensues v - sands, but wontb0en3laVed It 4. A lighted lamp is taken 'up a self, hu . h? ul av it hmv nzui L flight of stairs, or is. raised quickly I to place it on the mantle, resulting in an explosion, in an inese cases m r u mi wn ri aa iw air iriu a .r v a-a u 1 movement eitner Dy suaueuiy i cheking the draft, or forcing air, aown tne cnunoey against me flame- ' . , 5. Blowing down the chimney to extinguish the light is a frequent cause of explosion. G. Lamp explosions have been caused by using a chimney broken off at the top, or one that has a piece broken out whereby the flame is made unsteady. 7. Sometimes a thoughtless per- son puts a small-sized wick in a' larger burner, thus leaving consid- erable space along the edges of the wick. 8. An old burner, with its air drafts clogged up, which rightfully, should be thrown away, is some-, times continued in use, ana in re- suit is an explosion. . , , , In Haste, to .Marry. -1 In Russian Poland lately it was Ji given out and believed by ,all .that the czar had-sold six thousand of the uumarried women of the nrov- ince a Kh AUU iato ciivut ww a -a. a a v tvv 1 was instantaneous. The girls did not run away or attempt to cenceal themselves, but their fear of the Turlrfiih hnrpm was Rrt rrrpat t.hftt they laid their hands indiscrlmin ately on the young men and made them marry them. Candidates for matrimony were so numerous that the process was continuous, and from press of business many couples had to be put oir till the folwlng day before their aspirations eould be satisfied. Neither courtship, in- clipation, nor prudence, were given any consideration in the matter, All that each girl wanted wes a husband, and she was ready to seize upon the first single man that came within reach to meet the emergen- cy. To such an extent did this go that at last the authorities had to interfere to save the young ladies from that repentance which the world says follows hasty marriage, Church Pews.

Andas early as 1618 pews were arranged to afford comfort by being baized or cushion-Ht ed, while the sides around were so ( high as to hide the occupants a de- j vice of the Puritans to avoid being seen by' the officer, who reported those who did not stand when4he name of Jesus was mentioned.
