An
a. Good Jose. A loafer; while
stopping at a lavcni up the country,
used tb lounge about the bar and drink
other Ipeopk's liquor. Not a glass.

he wobld slip and drink its entire con

in, and ealled for a stiff horn of brandy
toddy.j Jehue immediately, played
possum by leaving hin ' braudy while
he stepped to the door. The bait
iook. 'i On turning he .. savvj- hrs glass
empty and exclaimed with all the
diabolical horror he could effect.
"BriTvdy and opium enough to kill

give up the ghost with affright.
"You area deadpan I" said the

"Down with a pint of lamp soil, or
you're a dead man in three miuutes!"

down Vent the lapp oil, and up came
the brandy and opium together with

A SrroRY of Dickens. On one oc
casion Charles Dickensr was uphold
ing the theory that whatever trials or
difficulties might stand in a man's
I path, jlhere is always something to be
thankful for. "Let me in proof there
ol," said Dickens, relate a story
Two men were tojbe banged at Ndw
pate for murder. The morning arri
; ved, ';iand the hour approached ; the
bell f St. Sepulchre began to toll ;
the convicts were. pinioned ; the pro
cession was formed : it advanced to
the fatal beam ; the ropes were ad
, justed; around the poor men's necks:
there jwere. thousands qf motley sight
seers hi both sexes, of all ages, men,
wonien and children,' in'front at the
scaflbjd ; when, just at that second of
lime'Ja bull which was being driven
to Srhithfield broke its . rone, and
.. ru . '
charged the mob right and left, scat
tering people every where with its
- horns;; yhereupon one of the con
demned men turned to his equally uii
fortuiate; (jornpanioiv an,d quietly ob-
; served., f I suy, Jack, it's a good thing
; we ain't in; thai crowd.' "
Mijsic O Music I t!ie theme of
bards j from time immemorial who
. iiie wot orum oeai nc cianon givco
forth 1 its piercing notes -'and legions
of arhied men rush headlong to the
flercej and devastating battle. Again
. dt urn i is muiiled, and its deep notes
break! heavily upon the ea, while the
dead -warrior is borne along upon his
bier, (ind thousands mingle their" tears
to his memory. . The tender lute is
sounded upon the silvery waters, andJ
the lover throvfs aside his oar, and
imprints a kiss upon the lips of his
beloved. The bugle lings in the
mountain's recesses, and a thousand
ppearf are uplifted for a fierce and
desperate conflict. And now the or

'the fc6u4 leaps into the very presence
of thef Deity.
I OrLgix of the Pew System. One
hundred and seventy years ago an ele
gant! parish church at Atherstone,
England, vas, as all house of wor
mfelup jhad been, entirely open to all
hearers : but it entered the mind of an
elderly lady that she would prefer to
kneiw where to sit. It was unpleas
ant td thinkjanybody i hould be placed
beside her. She accordingly begged
to bej allowed to piit in a piece of
boarding to screeu hcrejf off from the
rest o" the world. Xo Soont-r tit J this
appear, than another manted a parti
tion, Jio enable her -to enjoy, as her
own, souie particularnot. Then an
! old gputleman thought he would like
1 to hVyeom acepmmodatifcn reserved
for liim. This closing in of the church
for private purposes gave its interior
r such frn irregular and patched appear
ance,! that Jt AVS Presently resolved to
pewihe whole building," which was
accorlir2g!y--done,.a large share of tlie
cxpeiise bein defrayed by a family
well jkuown in the neighborhood.
and so this pew system has grown and
grown en until it has become ingrain
ed iulEnglish church life. .
