Some people don’t know the heavenly when they see it, a country woman who was out early enough the other morning to catch a view of tne comet aalleil to her husband: “Oh, Sammy! see that engine blowing off steaml” A woman accidentally went to chureh with two bonnets on her head—one stuck inside the other—and the other women in the congregation almost died with envy. They thought it was a new kind of bonnet and too sweet for anything. There are three things that, the wisdom of the most learned man can not determine—which way a singed cat will jump, how a Petit Jury will give its verdict, and what kind of a man a clever woman will take a fancy to.-Chicago Inter-Ocean. A good, old, motherly country lady the other day noticed a black speck on the face of one of our fair misses, and speak ingot it, took out her handkerchief to remove the speck. The young lady became very indigcant and said- “That is a black courtplaster, put there intentionally to show my fair comolexion by contrast,” To which the old lady replied : “Why don’t you walk a nigger around with you, the contrast would attract more attention than that wee speck.”— Kokomo Dispatch.

An engaged girl is happiest when she is telling about it to another girl who is not engaged nor likely to be, A miner fell in love with a girl at first sight, she was easily smitten with him. and the entire courtship was, “My net?” • You bet.” Clara (looking at the bonnets, etc ] — “Don’t you think they are very hand--some?” Amy [whose thoughts are on "the other side of the street}—“Very, ’specially the one with the black mustache.” The Presbytery of Logansport, at its late meeting in Remington, appointed Rev. G. A. Little of Plymouth, and Rev. G. B. Smith, of Mon*, ticello, to hold a series Jof meetings of the Presbyterian church in Rensselaer, beginning 14th. November, to continue through the 3d and 4th Sabbaths in Nov. It is hoped the friend 3 of the gospel will so arrange their business so as to be able to attend all the meetings, and also help in the service of song.
