Lately at Austin, Texas, Remehyi caused a disorderly person to be ejected from his concert. Subsequently hearing afire alarm, and having a vague idea of the lawnessness of the country, he Imagined that the man he had caused to be put out of the hall had organized a party to lynch him. It is alleged that his terror was abject, aud that he kneeled and begged to be allowed to ask the disturber's pardon. It took a long time to convince him that he was in no danger.
Tom Thumb celebrated his 46th birthday on Jan. 4, in Chicago. He said ihat when first exhibited by Barnum he was only 5 years old, and so light that a strong man could hold him on the palm of the hand. A fashionable overcoat of those day was like the ulster of the present, and had large side pockets with large flaps over them. "Barnum wore one of these," Tom relates, "and I could get in one of the pockets, and oy doubling myself up snugly the flap would conceal me. It was a favorite trick of Barnum's to put me in pocket, aud appear in the ball about the time for opening our entertainment. He would call for me, affecting to be susprised that I was not on the platform, and that I would respond, 'Here I am, sir,' emerging from the pocket. Alas! how I have grown since then!"
An old Irish couple who have grown up in the mills of Lawrence, Mass., have no children, and live alone in a tiny house. They have worked together for fifty years for their home, saving up little by little until it was paid for. They are rather feeble in mind and body, but possessed of wonderful patience. Their crowning ambition was to carpet the "fore room," and that has just been gratified. An' what more can we ask?" said the wife to a visitor, pride and satisfaction shining in every line of her wrinkled face. "Now me an' Mike is ready to be waked respectable any day, an' he is as plaised with the carpet as mesilf its two of us as is pleased togither. An' ivery night, before we goes to bed, we jist peeks in at the blissed carpet—an' the table a shinin', and the picture of the Virgin over the shelf smiliag down on us. Ah mutn, it's rich folks we're gettin' to be intirely.

The girls are seated in a row, and each one has a chair in front of her. A young man ia ushered out of the other room and choosss his seat. Aa soon as he ia seated the lady behind him proceeds to blindfold him with a silk handkerchief. This being accomplished, the negro cook comes in from the kitchen, kisses him, and returns to her hiding-place. The handkerchief is removed, and the youth struts proudly to a Hat assigned to him on the opposite side of the room, where he licks bis lips with great satisfaction and smiles at the girl who blindfolded him. Then young man No. is led in and served in a like manner, to the great dLeguat of young man No. 1 and the general enjoyment of the female aseemdly. •.

LITTLE SERMONS.
To succeed, appear a fool and be a sage Ambition is the insanity of a sane man*»^
Genius is the conscious revelation of talent. Mediocrity succeeds abroad genius at home.
Counsel that favors our desires needs careful watching.' Good things are better well said than well written.
When a fool is rich it is difficult to make him blush. Many men gain a perfectly honest living by telling lies. *4
Silence does not always insure the keeping of a secret. Avoid the world if you do not want to get very tired of it.
One thing only is more run after than beauty that is novelty. /. In this wicked world it is usually pretty safe to be suspicious.
Absence produces exactly the same effect upon great and little love True friendship is like sound health its yalue is seldom known until it is lost.
Better the chance of shipreck on a voyage of high purpose than expend life in paddling hither and thither on a shallow stream to no purpose at all.
Generosity during life is a very different thing from generosity in the hour of death the one proceeds from genuine liberality and benevolence, the other from pride or fear.
Punctuality is one of the characteris tics of politeness. He who does not keep his appointment promptly is unfit for the society of gentleman, and will soon find himself shut out from it.
TOO MANY CHURCHES FOR A SMALL TOWN. 7 Yonkers Statesman.
A gentleman in this neighborhood was strongly urged a short time since to contribute to the support of a clergyman in Iowa, who was represented to be doing valiaint pioneer work on a starvation salary. The gentleman promised to give the matter his careful attention. As he had an acquaintance in the village name* ed, he wrote him requesting information as to population to church supply. He found the total population to be 1,300, and that they were actually trying to maintain no less than twelve distinct church organizations. The Presbyterians had two, the Methodist, the Baptist, the Christians, the Romanists, the Universalist, the Mormons, and several other shades of opinion, each one. They were all necessarily largely dependent on outsiders for support. The congregations were very small secretarian eeling was maintained at red beat the social life and business unity of the village were impaired and injured. The entleman concluded not to oojn tribute ut did earnestly advise all the o«tMfcdox Protestants to*urtite in main tai mug bne strong organization in place of^t-beae several conflicting weak ones.
ENGAGED COUPLER
RULES FOR THEIR CONDUCT.'
TERRE HAUTE SATURDA^ EVENING MAIL.„
avoided should be
All things to be lovers' quarrels, says the
(Bazar.
They
impair respect and diminish love. Of course engagement is the period given to two people to learn if they can live together through the troublous scenes of life. It is not always sufficient probation, but it is a wise and necessary one. And here we must say that while constancy is a virtue, we cannot but congratulate certain lovers who find out before marriage what so many find out afterward—that they cannot be happy together. A broken engagement is a very sad thing, particularly for the lady but it is not half so dreadful as an uncongenial marriage. While a man is a pretendant he may seem very agreeable to a woman. Even after he has made his offer, and has been accepted, he may be very attractive but the close iutiniacy of courtship may prove to her that she has been wholly mistaken in her own preference. Or a man may grow out of love, and ask to be released. Under these circumstances no person of delicacy or honor would be allowed by his or her conscience to continue ail engagement. Let a man or woman invoke in these crises all the good sense and good feeling which exist, and strive to do a lasting good at the cost of a present unhappiuess.
A ladv should, hewever, be oxtreme]y guarded during her engagement in her manners toward other men. She should not correspond with them, nor permit those attentions which, as a belle and an unaffianced girl, were her right, she must avoid even the appearance of coquetry, while a lover should avoid all display "of jealousy and all airs of mastership. He is in a m«ist delicate position. He must not be unduly familiar in the family of his fiancee be must testify interest, without cJaiiningaplace he must be devoted, and not familiar, and remember always that be is a petitioner, and on bis good behavior. He is askiug tba lady for her liberty, her obedience, her life. With her it is afar more important concession than with him, for, if she does not make him happy, he can employ himself in business and with pleasure but with her, if he does not make her happy who will? She cannot find*her happiness elsewhere than at home. If sho seeks it elsewhere, she is lost. Nothingcati be so foolish as to leave out of question the "matter of money," even if. as \v« hope, it is sometimes not the only one in our practical age. A woman's money should be settled on berafelf, in the care of trustees, beyond the risks of business. It is nota way of cheating one's creditors for, if a man has no power over his wife's money, certainly those who do business with him can find that out. And men should bare their lives insured before marriage for the benefit of the coming .wife, and this should never be allowed to lapse.
