—All the knowledge we receive, all the pleasure we enjoy, all the pain we suffer, comes through one of the five senses. This, we believe, is a univerullz admitted proposition, but the question which grows out of this, viz: Is an existence of universal pleasure when pain is unknown, or an existence of universal pain when gleasure is unknown, possible? Does not the existence of one extreme prove the existence of the other? is pne on which great minds differ, and which we shall not attémpt to arge, but simply eall your attention to the act that of the five senses, Sight is the most priceless, and ag soon as you find it'ramni &nflonoe to J.

‘Rev. Burwell's Good Luck. A correspondent thus writes to the Fort Wayne Daily News: “Most everybody hereabouts knows Rev. Newton Burwell, formerly a lawyer of this city and Bluffton, and subsequently pastorof the Kendallviile M. E.church. I heard a delightful little bit of gossip concerning this gentleman, the other evening, which 1 think will be of general interest to all who know him. My informant was a Jady, who said that Mr. Burwell, as a clergyman, found himself quite overcome with debt, and he was so conscientious that he felt his usefulness as a minister would be seriously prejudiced on that account. So he asked the conference to relieve him from pulpit duty until he might earn enough money to pay his debts. The permission was granted, and he engaged at once 1n the lumber trade. On day he saw upon the land of a farmer, a walnut log, which impressed him as being a good one, He asked the farmer his price, and was told that he could have it for $5. The log was bought and paid for, and soon Mr. Bur well diseovered that he had purchased a log of genuine veneer walnut, + The timber was sent to Indianapolis, where it was cut up and netted the minister the neat sum of fifteen hundred dollars Verily, the Lord helps him who helps himself.” 7 3 -

THE LIGONIER BANNER, Comments of the Press on thée Recent Change of Form and Management, : THE LIGONIER BANNE# comes to us this week enlarged to a nine column folio. Hon. John B. Stoll, the able and enterprising editor is publishing matters along at a lively rate in that part of Hoosierdom.—Muncte Dem.

THE LIGONIER BANNER comes to us changed from a quarto to a nine column folio, and under the new manage: ment of Stoll & McDonald, We welcome Mr. McDonald to the editorial tripod of our county, and wish him the greatest prosperity. J. E, shake.— Kendallville Standard.

THE LIGONIER BANNER came to us last week dressed up in old style. The paper has been changed from a quarto to a folio form. A quarto county paper_is rather a poor thing unless “all printed at home.” It does mot afford space enough for home news and .besides is very awkward in its make-up. In this Jim. McDonald produced his maiden article as a newspaper man. Jim. ain’t slow as a motive power behind a Faber.—Columbia City Post.

The Hon. John B. Stoll, editor of two papers, THE LIGONIER BANNER and the Elkhart Daily Monitor, gives nearly a column article in describing what “activity and energy” may do in one week, taking as an example the labors that he was compelled to perform in six days. Did not we see the evidence of the truth of Mr. Stoll’s statement in two excellent papers, we would be inclined to think that his powers of imagination had drawn somewhat on that of endurance, but as we have the evidence of what “snap and determination” can do in this case, it will certainly not go unrewarded by his appreciative readers, in the years to come. —Huntington Democrat.

A Famous Encounter. Most people.have heard of the celebrated encounter of O'Connell with. the famous scold, Mrs. Moriarty, the huckster of Dublin. There was at that time in Dublin a certain woman, Biddy Moriarty, who had a huckster stand on one of the quays, neariy opposite the Four Courts. She was a virago of the first order, very able with her fists, and still more formida-| ble with her tongue. From one end of Dublin to.the other she was notorious for her power of abuse, and even in the provinces Mrs. Moriarty's language had passed into carrency. It was mooted once whether the young Kerry barrister could conquer her, and some of the company (in O'Connell’s presence) rather too freely ridiculed the idea of his being able to meéet this famous Mwme. Moriarty. 'O’Counell never liked the idea of being put down, and he professed his readiness | to eocounter her, and even backed himself for the match. Bets were offered and taken, and it was® decided that the matter should be decided at‘ once.

The party adjourned to the huckster’s stall, and there was the owner herself, superintending the sale of her small wares. : :

A few lawyers and ragged idlers were hanging around her stall, for Biddy was a character, and her way was one of the sights of Dublin.

O’Connell commenced his attack: * What’s the price of this walkingstick, Mrs. What’s-your-name ?” “Moriarty, sir, is my name, and a good one it is; and what have you to say aginlt? And one and sixpence’s the price of the stick. Troth, it’s cheap as dirt, 8o it is.” 2 “One and sixpence for a walkingstick —phew! Why you are no better than an impostor to ask eighteen pence for what costs you twopence.” “Two pence your grandmother,” replied Biddy; “do you mane to say it's chatin’ the people I am? Impostor, indade!” . ! ]

“Ay, impostor, and it’s that I call you to .your teethy” rejoiued U’Connell. ) :

“Come, cut your sticks, you cantankerous jackanapes.” o ] “Keep a civil tongue in your head, you old diagonal,” said O’Connell, calmly. ot “Stop your jaw, you pug-nosed badger, or by this and that,” cried Mrs. Moriarty, “I'll make you go quicker nor you came.” “Don’t be in a passion, my old radius—anger will only wrinkle your beauty.” L “By the hooky, if you say another word of impudence, I'll tan your dirty hide, you bastely common scrub, and sorry I'd be to soil my fists upon your carecass.” . . : ;

~ “Whew! boys, what a passion old Biddy is in—l protest, as I am a gentleman—" *

* “Jintleman!” Wisha, that Bangher. Why, you potatoe-faced pippensneezer, where did a Madagascar monkey like you pick up enough common decency to hide your Kerry brogue?” - “Easy now, easy now,” cried O’Connell, with imperturbable good humor, don’t choke yourself with finelanguage, you old whisky -drinking parallelogram.” . “What’s that you call me, you murderipn’ villain ?” roared Mrs. Moriarty, stung to fury. i “I call you,” answered O’Cobnell, “a parallelogram ; and a Dublin judge will say it’s no libel to call you so.” ‘ " “Oh! tare-an-houns! oh, holy Biddy! that an honest woman should be called a parybellygrums, you rascally gal-lows-bird; you cowardly, sneaking, plate-licking blaggard.” i “Oh, not you, indeed!” retorted O’Connell; why, I s;?ppose you’ll deny that you keep a hypotenuse in your house.” e e L

“It’s a lie for you! I neverhad such a thing in my house, you swindling thief!”

“Why, sure, all the neighbors know very well that you keep not only a hypotenuse, but that you have two diameters locked up in your garret, and that you go out to walk with them every Sunday, you heartless old heptagon!” - “Oh, hear that, ye saints in glory! Oh, there’s bad language for a fellow that wants to pass for a jintleman! May the dickens fly away with you, you micher from- Munster, and make celery sauce of your rotten limbs, you mealy mouthed —" . “Ah, you can’t deny the charge, you miserable submultiple of a duplicate ratio.” : 5

“Go rinse your mouth in the Liffey, you nasty tickle-bitcher; after all the hard words you speak, it ought to be’ filthier, you dirty ‘thicken of Beelzebub.” : “Rinse your own mouth, you wickedminded old polygon—to the deuce I pitch you, you blustering intersection of :an objectionable superficies.” “You saucy tioker’s apprentice, if you don’t cease your jaw, I'll--" =~ But here she gasped for breath, unable to hawk up any mgre‘ words, for the last volley of O’Connell had nearly knocked the wind out of her. ' “While I've a tongue I'll abuse you, you most inimitable periphery. Look at her, boys! ' There she stands, a perpendicular in petticoats! There’s a contamination in her circumference, and she trembles with guilt down to the extremities of her corollaries. Ah! you’re found out, you rectilineal and equiangular old hag! It’s with you the demon will fly away, you porterswiping similitude of the bisection of a vortex.” ‘ Overwhelmed with this torrent of language, Mrs. Moriarty was silenced. Catching up a sauce-pan, she was aiming it at O'Connell’s head, when he very prudently made a timely retreat. * “You have won the wager, O'Connell; here’s your bet,” said the gentleman who proposed the wager. -
