A would-be wit once said, speaking ef the fair lax: "Ah, it's woman's mission to make fcolacfmen." "And how vexed we are," raid a bright-eyed Harlem lady, "to find (that nature has so often forestalled Tis." A young Indy on being asked, at a musical examination, "What is an interval?" judiciously replied: it is that space ot time allowed .for refreshments between the acts of en opera or the two parts of a concert." A society editor got himself in a very unpleasant predicament in his efforts to explain how plainly a lady was dressed at a reception, by saying that she wore no jewelry and the balance of her toilet to - natch. "I didn't see yon at tbe party," said one benedict to another. "No; 1 was tending a wake," was the answer of the other, as he thought how he promenaded the bed-room for four aortal hours with a kid that refund to be comforted. At a certain well-known hat shop in the TJowery, near Grand street, an Irishman approached the counter, saying he wished to purchase a hat. "What size, sir?1' askel tbe assistant.

A man telegraphed on Thanksgiving eye tofrlsndsina New Kngland town: "Can aot be down until Saturday; foreman drank."

A certain phyriclan in this city took a day for recreation and rest. He wandered oS iato tbe woods, and with his gun on his shoulder tiaveleu the country for miles nronnd, and late in the evening returned iome tired and weary and complaining to his wife that be bfd killed nothing. "Had yon on'y remained at home, my dear, and attended to business, I am sure you would Äave been more success! qL Jones entered his office and rat down at ' t j . 1 1 1 ic manner.

Through JIalLl A countryman who has not been remarkable for the frequency of his attendance upen fashionable blow out?, was present at the soiree given by the Chicago tjaartette the other evening. The full dress of the vocalists struck him as being very peculiar, and he was not s'ow in giving his opinion of the claw-hamtaer coats worn by them. "Say," said he to his nearest neighbor, so loud everybody in the hall could hear every word. 'The feihr that dono that ortar be bucked and gagged." "Did what?"

The majoriiy of fellows "who attempt to make fun of a mother-in-law were never blessed with one. Quill pens are a?ain in fashion. They are well adapted for the larg9, angular penmanship now in favor among iadiej. A modern philosopher cays that "women whoexcite the gteatesi. love are often ugly." They are also generally very rich. Marriage is the best state for man in gen eral; and every man is a worn man in proportion as he is un&t for the married slate.

Duty is a golden rope, which once thrown over our necks, leads us unwilling where pleasure is obliged to follow.

CcIfTcres to be feshlocable must te in the form of a figure eight on the top of the head, with frizzled bangs on the forehead and in the nape of the neck. Something in tbe style of links of sausage on a fringed lamp mat is most taking. Money never made a man happy yet, ner will it; there is nothing in its nature to produce happiness; the more a man has the more he wants; instead of its filling a vacuum it rxnke8 one; if it satisfies one want it doobles and trebles that want another way. Benjamin Franklin. Let no one suppose that by acting a good part through Ufa he will escape scandal. Tteie will be those even who hate him for tbe very qualities that ought to procure esteem. Tnere are some oiks in the world who are not willlcg tfcat others should be better than themselves, A youcg society rran, whose mind was running on another subject, acknowledged an evening invitation ai follows: "Your kind invitation for Thursday evening is accer tf d with regret." And then he lay awake all Thursday night wondering why his hostess treated him so coldly. What a vast deal of time and ease that man gains who is not troubled with tae spirit of impertinent curiosity about others; who lets hi3 neighbor's thoughts and behavior alone; who confines his inspections to himself, and cares chietly for hia o wn duty Rnd conscience Lavater.

Sleep is the rest of tbe brain; to rob the brain of its Ecceerary rest is cerebral suicide. Views of wbat constitutes ttat rarest of all ble&fcinqs, a true marriage, are aain actively revived in newspspers. They claim that persons intending matrimony should be the exact epposites of each othtr in every respect, which seems illogical. It stands to reason that the truest marriage is when the temperaments alone are opposite, and the mental resemblance between the two persons as murh alii as possible. This insures unifoiruify i f tvstes and ideas, without which a n arr:ace, in tho highest sense, is impossible. D, Delaney rays if you sleep on your right side your dreams will be old and faint remembrances; the dreams are apt to be childish and illogical; eleepers on the right side also cempo?e verses. They send thsm to the newspapers next day. Sleepers on the left side dream intelligent dreams about recent events. So if a man wants to dream what his wife used to say to hint and ah3ut him before they were married he must sleep on his right side; if he wants to dream of wbat she says to him now, he sleep on his left side.

A London journal seldom takes notice of any current local event unless in some way it is related to the ?er eral interests of the cemmnnity or to the latter interests of the cation or the world.

TALMAUE TALKS. Iii Method of Preparing nnd Preaching Wlittt lie Call Iii Sermons, l?-ew York Malland Fxprcss. "I keep a list ot subjects as they occur to ire," he continued, ' through reading the Bible or from other sources. Sometimes tae subject will be suggested by something which baa occurred within a few days prior to t).e time I have to preach. If nothing of that kind seems ot sulliclent importance to tttrct my attention, 1 look over my list of subjects already on hind. Most frequeutly in reading the Bibia a text r.iost proper t3 the time and occasion ttrik? me. I have ul ways followed only one rule, and that is when I go into the pulpit to have enough ideas on the subject on which I am ab jut to talk to usefully occupy the time. A man has no right to g? into the pulpit in ths extectation cf boruethicg turning up. I can sptak better standing be Tor an audience then I can in my studv, and tae Lusr the audience te ths easier I can, speak. I make veiy full memcrandi, so that ia ordinary caees I know what I am going to eay. If a subject is worth presenting at all it is worth presenting in the best fehape. The extemporaneous faculty is likely to be abused after a man has been speaking a great many years. There is no difficulty in talking three-faurths of an hour upon almost any subject, and the temptation is to talk upoa the hour and not after a series of preparation. While a great deal has been said in favor of extemporaneous speaking, I think that many who sneak extemporaneously fail to interest, for their ides are o diluted. A man, in order to extemporize well, has to be a hard student. A man who, according to the old theory, shakes a eermen out of his coat sleeve, gives a term on that is not worth the shaking out." It is raid that the wood on the north s'de of a tree will not warp as much as that from the south side, and that if trees are sawed in planes that run east and west, as the tree stood, it will warp less than if cut in the opposite direction. However this may be, it is certain that the tendency to warp when pawed into beards is much greater in green than in dry wood, and that the convex s;.da cf the curve Is always to the heart. This warping, due to uneqssl sbrinka:, and to the mere open texture of the external portion of the tree, Is not found to occur in ths middle pl&nk or board of the log, excepting as it may inelight decree reduce tho breaith Tb:s e;cIity of net warping, which is in many cases absolutely indispensable for certain u?c8, as, for example, in the sounding beard of a pianoe. is secured ia the case ol spruce timber by rst quartering the los, and then sawing them with the ante down. ws:d. It is thea tawed into beards veary nearly at right angles with the line cf anneal growth, and a small strip must be taken off to make tha board square edged, but Qualities of stability and strength are secured that could no otherwise be had.
