I station then, Where passengers are taken in; ; To fare there is for them to pay, I For Christ himself ha is the way. I* 1 King Jesus is our engineer, J , He points the way to glory clear; ,i Through tunnel dark ami very drear, He does the way to glory steer.

' | Come then, poor sinners now’s the time, I ■ At any station on the line, If you’ll repent and turn from sin. The cuts will slop and take yon in. The car is ready and soon will go, St y will you go to heaven or no? You'll draw year rations on the way And at the end the best of pay.

While all are drap'd with armor bricrlit, I ill Canaan’s land appears in view. Where all the saints are dressed anew.

Afflicted with White Swelling for 22 years. St SPENDEI) AnIM ITKIN.—An tlnlllsillg incident occurred at my store the other i day which I think when told will stretch the grinning apparatus of some of your ■ readers. While I was busy attending to the wants of some half a dozen ladies by : throwing down goods for the fun of putting them up again, two small boys who infest "my store daily, were having fine . sport by pulling each other up with a I rope and tackle in my store room. The most venturesome boy had gained a fine elevation by putting his toot in the hook and holding on by the rope. Seeing him in danger I spoke to him quickly to come down, thereby directing the ladies’ attention to the youhgster aloft. Just at that instant his foot slipped from the book and the iron caught the botttom of his pantaloons; the treacherous cloth gave way and quicker than I can write it, he was suspended like a skinned squirrel, the only part of his clothing remaining in its place being his shirt collar. The chap who hml command of the elevating-rope was dumbfounded at the sight of his boon companion in mischief and held on like a time soldier, while the man aloft kicked awl yelled manfully. The ladies screamed and one miss covered her face with her hands and peeped through her fingers while your obedient was forced to face the music and go to the deliverance of the boy who through accident had got bis clothes ou. wrong. Red was the predominant color and goods remained unbought. i .-. .. . II !* 11. Twins. —A young fellow of our acquaintance was just presented with a pair of bouncing twins, attended Rev.

DECATUR, ADAMS COUNT)', INDIANA, JAN. 1,1863.

I’rdlilrvs Quaker. A Yankee pedlar travelling in Penn- ' sylvania. met a Quaker going to mill with i a bag of corn. i -I say mister what do you ax for your corn?’ inquired the Yankee. ‘lt isnt for sale friend,’ mildly rejli •; broadbrim. ‘But 1 am greatly in need of corn just i now as my mare is nearly starved, and nobody ’roi*n I b.ere'pears willing to trade I thought you q.inkers was chock full of | the milk ofhurnan kindyers. Now as I've : been robbed back here a piece of all iny jeash, I don't know what I am goiu' to do i when the mare's gi'n out,’ ‘Well friend,’ said the shrewd quaker‘ I ‘lf thee has anything that I can turn to the same account as my corn I will trade f with thee at a dollar a buslie! but not I otherwise.’ ‘And pray, what are you goiu' to do with it?’ •Grind it. to be sure'' said broadbrim chuckling at the. thought tha' that was a ; poser for the pedlar. Wall I II dew it on them terms and yon may empty your com in my feed-box at I once.’ ‘And pray friend what am I to have in exchange for the two bushels of corn thal I can turn to the same account.’ ‘Oh. vou can take your choice I've got jack-knives at t wenty-fi.ve cents apiece : razors at the same price, axes at a dollar i and various other notions. You'll find that they can all be groifnd'to great al- ■ vantage. In short you can grind ’em »< often as you please awl it. wont hurt 'em The Quaker was tickled at the Yankee’s wit, that he let him have the corn without further parley, and took his pay in trade. i Mrs. JqJlaby’s last Grievpnce. One of my neighbors ha- given his boy i a drum—not a toy-drum, Silas! that I ! might endure: but areal bona-fide, regimental. ear-jsplitting concern—the horror lof tho adult population and the envy of gaping youngsters, w hose papa's have j too much humanity to provide them with such a nuisance byway of amusement. i Early in the morning this juvenile assas I sin of the peace commences his insane I tattooing till drops of agony stand upon the brow of every listening victim, till they wonder if that little boy has had his turn of the measles or chicken-pox, or’ any other complaint at present rife, that would promise at least a temporary re- | prieve from that horrid tmn-tum-ing.—| They wopder what toothsome little daiu!ty he is most fond of, that might answer as a vehicle for a little ipecac; and whether at some millennial moment this juve- ' nils Nero may not take it into his head to vary that dead-hammer performance with a blast of the shrill fife. One wonders if his blessed mother has forgotten her wearisome attempts to get bis babyship to slee;4 that she thus ignores all the fat, hot'babies in the neighbotfiood. i bereft by his means of the little cat-naps which ensure a moments peace to baby- ! beset mothers in the dog days. One j wonders if his papa who of course gets tid of the nuisance by being down town all day were at home instead and trying !to write bow long his patience or ideas would hold out. One wonders when one lies languidly down for an after-dinner nap too helpless to do any thi.ng.but make mouths at this miserable youngster, • whether even his own daddy under such ' circumstances would not at last rise in his might and smash that drum into infiu-1 itessimal fragments. One wonders why hi daddy couldn't have been the contented parent of a girl, instead of a boy; a peaceful little girl who would have sat weeks at a time on a cricket, coddling a ! one-eyed wooden doll. And finally one is impressed as one never was before with the necessity of sending missionaries to those heathen lands which are in I the habit of selecting their female infants Ito strangle. Fannj? Finx. 1 w . 1 Infant Smokei:s. —NYliat is to be the ; future of a generation who commence I smoking at the age of nine years? We gravely asked ourselves this question as a lad of that age passed us with a cisjar between his lips puffing away like any dried up old smoker. What are the pa-, i rents or guardians of these children 1 thinking about, that they allow such precocious waste of life; Sfifelf’not pf the | • good of the child: surely nut of the great responsibilities they have .-issumed to It hroi)’OlF So carelessly. If it were a solitarv instance we might not have spoken of it, bat the sight of boys in jacketo per-, petrating this folly has become so eein1 mon aiAons us, that it certainly calls for i reprehensible motion. i The dishonest advocate iu courts of. law makes himself the ruthless spoliator , !of all peaceful protection: he prolanes . the sacredness of justice under the sliad- ’ of her sanctuary: he preaches tlie ghastly j doctrines of anarchy in the very ark of ' civilization.

AcciiPTiso an Invitation —A Captain M >sely, mi one of the French Over t land Expeditions had been staying at Willard’s a couple of weeks, and during that time had been t x er.siv»ly annoyed by a particular cabman, and determined ; to pul a stop to it. Accordingly, one dav co ning out of the hotel, and being rccos- , ' ted. ns Usual, with ‘take a ride to day, I si:?’ lie said he would — and he did; for lie made the fellow drive him first lo the j. the Capitol, then to the. War D-partmenl 1 then to the National Hotel, then back to the Ciptol, and at last to liia hotel, after : somelhree hours. On stepping out of the cab, he politely asked the driver to take a drink with him. ami this exercise being p' rfmmed, lie inquired his uitica lor his ’ letters and started tor his room. As he renched the stairs the cabman stopped him with: "Hut, you haven’t paid met' ' ‘l’ai I you! For what?’ demanded the apparently aatomehi d Mosely. 1 'Why, (or the ride.’ 'Gracious' exclaimed Mosely, ‘here is lit gentleman who for two successive weeks ’ has had the politeness to ask me to ride and when to d iv I have foun 1 an opportunity to accept his polite invitation, he asks hta to pay for i'!’ A loud laugh broke from the crowd of bys’inders and the cabman, finding him self sold, stood treat and vaniosei, minus the pny‘ I’or his three hours drive. He , never asked Mosely to ride alter that. An Itsm of the Shiiit QcE-TtuN.-Jaek “ ThiirgUmbob lives by his wits—so lie calls 1 himself a ii ter ary character—although no body ever beard him say a wittv thing ■lack has n washerwoman—who hasn'i? .’Tis ch-nnlines* shadow, am! we are nil clean folks Last Saturday she came to bin - , bringing shreds and pitches ‘Heavens'.’ cried fie, 'and do you cal! ithatjnv new lirmen shirt?’ (Jack never; in his life had other than cotton shirts,; and they were none of the best.) 'Ami faiih I do, sure; it is tlie very same identical shirt yer honor gave me I last monday ’ ‘Gracious goodness, woman, what have you tione to my shirt?’ i ‘Sure, I have done nothing but wash it and iron it And starch it; the truth is, yer •: honor, yer shirts are going.’ ■Call them back goodwoman; woo them with new buttons, as children woo birds bv pirtting salt on their tails.’ ‘Och! yer honor, my manes don’t per mit me to put shirts to my custorraei s’ i ; buttons.’ — -*♦• w ♦< How a Modest Man was Mistaken — The Syracuse Standard says: In Lowell ata lecture, a few evenings since, the most modest man of bis sex, and no less polite than modest, was sitting in a pew ,i rather remote from the light. A pretty lady sat next to him Looking rm tlie floor during the lecture, he espied what he thought was the 1 uiy's handkerchief, the I■n:e.. trimmed edge was just, \itnble from timber her dress. Turning to Ids pew-mate, be gallantry whispered, ‘You have dropped vour handkerchief, madam! and before she coll'd reply he proceeded to pick it up. Horro! he had seiz d the edge of her pet—sliiit, and did not dis cover his mistake until tlie top of a gaiter boot stared hirn in the face, and the faint ! sound of a laugh, just nipped in the bud bv the application of h real handkerchief, warned him of bis mistake. Mm>«]—Don’t iil'emp'. to ' pick up any ithing with laeo to it, before you know I what it is. ' Jvs j So—A matter ol fact unconscious Scotchman, openahis autobiography in an English periodical, in these words: ‘1 am noi in the slightest, degree of an. imng inat ve turn of mind; I (arm my own Lind 1 am church warden of our parish; titty years of age, and weigh one hundred and eighty five pounds My memory is far; from goad. There has been no instance ; of somnambulism in our family, exceptt during the last Oxford vacation, when itny eldest sun was observed, bv his mother walking, sound asleep but with his • yes ’open, towards tlie maidservant’s room lie had apparently not gone to bed, but must hava fallen asleep with his clothes [on. On my wife’s getting a new maid, there was no recurrence of Fred ric k’s complaint; so it would not be fair to conI aider that solitary instance as n proof that such tendency is in he family. StraTi.tit to Jail —A hardshell, a relative of the original, we presume, was not long ago preaching not far horn Rockford, 111 , and while discoursing about the 1 Christian race, he alluded to the Olympic games, and astonished his auditors by 'saying, ‘The true Christian, my hearers, will go straight to jail; lie will never turn aside. I trust that every one of you are .going straight to the Jail.’ In his en-deavor-4o be eloquent, he confounded goal, the end of a lace, and jail a prison for criminals, Avirice starves its keeper to surfeit ‘.hose who wish him dead.

The Domestic Opern. | Since the night whin Hie went to the Opet a, he has been, as Mrs. F irtii.go-n says, ns ernzv as a btd bog, and the kind old damn has been fearful lest he should • become ‘non-pompous menlus,’ through ; his attempt at imitating the operalies — The next morning after the Opera, at the breaklast table, ike reached over hie cup ! and in a soft tone sang: “Will you. will you Airs. P , Help me to a cup of tea!’* The old lady looked at him with sur- . prise, his conduct « .is so unusual, an I for >i moment she hesitated Hi continued iu n tar more imp.is-i.med '.one:. ‘ Du not, do not keep me waiting, Du not,pray, be hesitating, 1 am anxious to l.e drinking, So pour out as quick as winking.’’ Site gave him tea with a sigh, as she saw the excitement in tils Ince lie stirred it ill silence, and in his ab->uaction took three s| iisltii of ihc eug’ir. At last he sung again: “Table cloths and cups and saucers. Good white bread and active jaws, sirs, 'J ea—gunpowder and souchong— I Sweet enough, l>ut not too strong; Bad for health to eat hot Imiscuii, k .But I’ll risk it—butter'll risk it " ‘What do you m-an, my boy?’ sai l Mrs I’arlington, tenderly. •‘All right, steady, never Clearer, Never loved a breakfast deirvr, J am not bound tiy wi cii or w:K»tr I, So don't fret your precious gizzard. ‘But Isaac,' persisted the daine--Ikivstruck his loti hand upon the table, and swung his keite aloft in his right looking at a plate upon the table, singing: “What form is that Io tm: aufqpTng? Is it tnacken-1 or is if herri»BS Let me dash upon It quick, Ne’er again that fish shall kick — Ne’er again though thrice as large— Charge upon them, Isaac, charge!’’ Before he had a chance to make a dash upon the fish, Mrs Partington had dashed a tumbler ol water into his lacu to restore him to ‘consciousness.’ Il made him catch his breath fur a moment, but he didn’t sing any more at tlie- table, though the Opera fever still follows him else where, A Double, ‘-Net!.’’ My friend, Harry Hughes, is (or rather was—he is in the army now) a clerk, and a smart young man. Some years ago when he was in a general notion store a countryman came in, and >i!t< : gazing around lor sometime, priced a certain mlicle. ‘That is a ‘long bit’,” replied the affable Harry. A ‘long bit’ amounts in Western parlance to onu-eighlh of a dollar. ‘Will you take a long bit lor that?'— . asked the countryman • Certain)} !' replied IlaTv ‘Then wrap it up, and 111 be in for it in a no-mi nt ’ The countryman went nut. and tru« Io Ins word, re.app-ni'ed in a b-w momenta Aou say a long bii?’ he again a-ned. ‘Why, most assuredly,’ said Harry a ‘little Vexed. ‘Well, then, 1 suppose you will find ; this long enough,’ said the i-ounlrymu. throwing down an old rusty horse bit, o- .; ver a foot in length and then marching . out. There Wl If o °l 1,3 there lo wit- [ tiess the sell, which rather gulled Hairy and lie hastily said: •Boys, dry up on this subject and I’ll, stand treat.’ Os course we agreed, and adjourned to j a neighboring saloon Harry was de ermined lo retrieve himself, so he said lo i the barkeepei: ‘Well, I’ve nothing but a long bit; that will do lor three drinks, won't it?' ‘Oh, certainly,’ returned our excellent friend. Out came the liquor, and down went the bit, and we retired amid roars ol laughter. Smells Like Home.—The condition of tlie Chicago river has an effect on the; people who dwell upon its banks. Th"}' become so much accuiinmefl to foul sten-‘ nlies. that they cannot lire without them.! It is sat 1 that u Chicago man who had . not been outside of the city for years, had occasion no’.' long since, to make a little excursion, and when be errived up on Rock Prairie, the nir was »o free from noisome smell, and ao excessively pure, [ Hint the Chicagoi in I tinted uway. He was only resuscitated bv putting a stale fish to his nose, wlvn he slowly revived exclaiming, ‘that is good; It smells just like home!' ■l’m airaid I’m sitting on your crtco» line, ma’am.’ ‘Ob, never mind, sir! Il’s of no consequence; you can’t hurt it.’ No, ma’am, it's n< t that; but the confounded thing hurts me!’

A Pnrctle.it Sermon. A number of year ago Parson F— ■ i pr tachvdin :■. town .u tjie interior of this I State. A sound . theologian was Parson B ,ns a p’J bli.- hed volume of his sermons evince: b.it like maity clergymen of ■ the past generation, he was too math ■ given to sermons’ to 1 the exclusion of practical themes- at least so thou gbt one of his parishioners, one Mr C ‘Mr. B.’ Raid he one day to the clergyman, ‘we know all about the doctrine by this time. Why don't you sometimes preach a real practical discourse?’ ‘O. very well, if you wish it I will do so. sext Sunday I wiil preach a practical sermon.’ Sunday morning came and an unusually large attendance attracted by the report of the promised novelty were in attendance. ’Hie preliminary services were performed and the parson announced his text. After opening bis subject he said he should, makg a practical application I to his hearers. He then commenced at. the head of tho aisle calling each member of the Congregation by name and pointing out his special faults. One was a little inclined to imlulge in creature comforts, another was a terrible man at a bargain and so on. While in mid volley, the door of the ehuG.lZopened, and Dr. S. entered. ‘There,’ went on tlie parson, there is Dr S. coming in, in the middle ofthescrviee<. just as usual, and disturbing the whole congregation. He does it just to make people believe that he can't get time to come to church in m a-un. but it isn't, so —he hasn't been called to visit a patient on Sunday morning for three months. Thus went oh the worthy clergyman. At list he came to Mr. C., who had requested a pra“tii'id sermon, ‘And now , said he, there is Mr. C., ho is a merchant—what does be do? Why he stays at home oil .Sunday afternoons and writes bushicks letters. If he gets a lot. <>f goods up from New York on Saturday night he goes to the store on Sunday, soar to have them ail ready for sale on Monday inmning That's how he keeps the Sabbath and he i-n t satisfied with doctrinal sermons; he wants practi- [ eal ones.’ At. the conclusion of the services the parson walked nji to Nir. and asked him how he liked the ‘practical sermon ' ‘Mr B.’ v.us the reply, ‘preach what , you please alter this. 111 never attempt 1 to diiect you again.’ .! _ Ar. Original Duel. Old Colonel S , of Wisconsin was an odd genius, a queer compound of i comic seriousness. Replete with jokes both original an I - -lected, he was not. I slow in hatching them up and dealing them out. in small doses on different oc- ; casions.’ One evening r.t a party a young gen‘letnan upon whom the Colonel had told some .“"'ting joke-; feeling insulted chal- • ng'.- i the Colonel to mortal combat. The challenge was aeoopted. Having the choice of weapons and the appointment of a place of meeting the Colonel told the young man to repair 1 the following morning to a certain spot I and added ‘that he would see that the weapons were there.' The following morning at the indicated time the young man repaired to the ; indicated spot. (Said spot being among thelird mines was naturally furrowed : with mineral holes.) ‘'Well youngster' said the Colonel “tick ing his hands in his pockets and electing a superfluous qnantijv of tobacco juice from his capacious month, are yon ready Receiving an affirmative answer ho [ continued—‘Here’s where " e are to fight,’ indicating a mineral shaft near by w hich was at least sixty feet deep ‘and here are our weapons, ‘pointing to a pile of rocks near ‘Your to go down that ar hole and throw , rocks up, and Im to stay up and throw rocks down.’ It is needless to say that the challenge was withdrawn. A Mistaki . —There has been a general impression abroad that the expenses of the present, abolition war weighed heavy i on the resources of the country, and that the government was enibarra«sad lo raise means to carry on the war. This would appear not to be so and we should infer that the national treasury was full to over flowing a* we notice that Senator Hend- ; erson of .Mo. has introduced a bill for tho abolition of slavery iu bis State and appropriated twenty-lit e millions of dollars to pay for the cmaticipated slaves!
