" No, sir!" said Farmer Holmes as he energetically knocked the ashes out of his pipe ; " no, sir ! you may marry the girl if you choose, for I can't prevent that; but I repeat that if you do she nor you shall never find a home beneath my roof! That's all I've got to say!" " Bat faiher once tor all, what is your objection to Miss Weston ?" '* Ain't she a city girl sir ?" " Granted. But is that a crime or a disgrace ?" " Don't she wear her hair frizzled and scrimped over her forehead like our two-year bull ? and a waterfall, as y.ou call it (sneeringly), on the top o' her head, big enough to hold one o' your mother's apple dumplings ?" " Really, sir—" " Yes, really, sir, you can't deny it. What can a city-bred girl do but paw the pianny and wiggle about in her finery and turn up her nose at every-thing good and useful ? No, sir ! Go and marry the girl, if you please ; but ehe shall never come here to idle about and give herself airs and be waited upon like a princess. That's all I've got to say ¡" concluded the old gentle-man; sturiiping vigorously out of the kitchen to look after things in the barnyard. All this discourse—this is, of course the matter of it, merely, softened and doubly refined—did Richard Holmes find himself compelled to repeat to Clara Weston on his next visit' to the eity. * He was a young country doctor who bad but recently obtained his diploma in the city, where he had met with and become engaged to prettv Miss Weston He had nothing but talent to begin on ; for his father though rich, was parsimonious as regarded money. Yet, living at home on the farm, as his parents desired he should do, his ex-penses would be few and he might soon get into a good practice. Clara did not loqlc at all hurt or offended when told Mr. Holmes, Sr.'s ideas of the capacities of city girls. On the contrary, • she laughed and seemed quite amused. "So your father thinks I must be a mere doll?'' Do you know Rich-ard that papa calls me a famous little housekeeper and that it was I who made the rolls and the cake we had for tea?" "You ! Is it possible, darling?" ex claimed the delighted Richard. " And I would wager you anything you please that I would be of more 'use'to your mother than the most accomplished help she could hire in "the country," continued the girl, tossing her ''frizzled" head with a pretty air of mock gravity. "Suppose we try that," suggested the lover, with a sudden bright idea. So they talked it ov er, and agreed to a ilttle plan thai was to effect this desirable Consummation ; the firs step to which wa* a private marriage,t known but to Miss Weston's own family. * + * * * * " Humph !" muttered Farmer Holmes looking askance at the new help which his wife had engaged — humph! she don't look fit for much, with such hands and such a waist."' "Fit? Why you have'nt an idea of all she's. done to-day ! answered Mrs. Holmes, enthusiastically. " She's swept the parlor, with a damp broom, dipped in something or other—a little alum in it, I believe—and made the colors in it come out as fresh and clean as when t'was new. " Then she cleaned up the old gilt frames that I wanted regilded, until they shine like gold ; and told- me how I could make a better pudding with less eggs—that very pudding tha you praised at dinner—and now she's altering the pattern of rn.y new dress." Indeed, poor Miss Holmes felt as though a burden of daily care was removed from her shoulders ; and she became quite grateful and attached to her pretty, cheerful obliging girl. She only wished that she had such a daughter, she added, sighing; and the wonder to her was that Richard should be so indifferent to Mirandy, since he appeared to have given up all thought of that city Miss Weston. " Dick," said Squire Holmes, poking in the ashes with the end of his cane, " Dick, you don't go to see that girl, Miss Weston, now, eh ?" " No, sir," answered Dick,demurely. " Glad of it! Thought you'd take a- sensible view of the thing in time. Still, a young fellow like you Ought to marry." : "I agree with you, sir," said the doctor. " It you Could -find a suitable girl now," suggested the Squire, cautiously, " a tidy, industrious, smart, good-tem-pered, good-looking " " Dear me, father!" interrupted Dick, in a tone of astonishment, where on earth am I to find such a combination of perfections ?" " Why," said the old man, looking up sharply, there's Mirandy, for in-stance." - "Oh !" said the doctor, turning over the leaves of a big book. " Yes, sir; and a nicer girl could'nt be found this side o' the ocean, sir." " Look here, Richard," said he, solemny, "what is your objection to Mirandy Parsons ?" " No objection to the young lady herself, sir," responded Richard, gravely. ' " Then why don't you marry her ?". said his father, bringing his cane emphetically down upon the floor. " Because, sir," answered I.'ichard, hesitatingly—"because, father, to tell the truth, I—I am already married." " What!" roared the old man, '• Yes, sir ; I've been married these two months," confessed Richard, penitently. " You have ? and you dare tell me so. Married to whom ?" he roared again. " To Miss Clara Weston, sir." This was too much. The old gentle-man was speechless, and his wife, scarcely less agitated than himself, shrieked to Mirandy for brandy and water. A few gulps restored him to speech, and the first use he made of that faulty was to order his-son to quit the house. " I will sir," said the doctor, calm-ly, " but not until you have seen my wife. She's in the next room dutifully waiting to be presented to you and my mother. Come here, Clara, my dear!" And Mrs. Holmes' help, blushing and a little frightened, advanced and stood by the doctor's side. " This is my wife, my dear father and mother—Clara Weston, the city girl. I hope you will forgive this innocent plot, but I wished to prove to you that she could do something more than frizzle her hair, paw on pianos and wriggle around in her finery." The mother, her first astonishment subsiding, was easily reconciled to the state of things, and in her heart secretly approved the young couple's proceed-ings. Perhaps, also, in his secret heart, her husoand did the same, though he thought proper to grumble and growl for a day or two over his son's undutiful conduct in marrying without his consent, and imposing his wife upon him in his own house as somebody eise. But still, considering that only good came of it—a good that, without the trick, would have been lost to them all the old gentleman finally magnani-mously made up his mind to forgive-ness, and even consented to his happy wife's proposal of a big Christmas dinner iu honor of their son and his pretty bride. A Great Joke. "The funniest thing happened last night," said a merry-looking gentle-man, as he ran up to Desk Sergeant Hughes at the armorv to-day. "It was the greatest joke. Ha! ha !" " Well, what was it ?" " My name is H. T. Green. I keep a cigar store on South Clark street. Ha, ha, ha!"' " What's the matter with you ?" " Burglars broke into my store last night. Ha, ha, ha!" and Mr. Green burst into a spasm of laughter. " I don't see much to laugh about," said Hughes. " What did they get?" " Only two boxes of cigars. It was the greatest joke. Ha, ha, ha. " Well, that wasn't much; but I don't see the joke." " Don't you ?" Well, the cigars were loaded—about two drachms of powder jn each. I'd like to see those fellows try to break into some house while they were smoking some of them." Officer Murphy entered the station at' this moment, dragging a dirty-faced urchin by the collar. The boy was kicking and screaming like a trooper. " Book this bye fer shootin' craps," said Murphy. " It's a purty chase ye gave me, ye omadhaun." The little gamin made a grimace at Murphy, borrowed a match from a bystander, and drawing a cigar from his pocket began to smoke in placid contentment. What's your name ?" asked the sergeant, " Bang!" the cigar burst with a sound like a dynamite bomb. One piece hit Murphy in the eve, and the frightened lad fell to the floor as though he was shot. Mr. Green was the only self-possessed person in the room, and he forgot his self-posses-sion in a spasm of laughter. ' Bett r—ha, ha !—book him for— ha, ha! burglary, too, Mr. Hughes," he gasped, as he rolled in a chair and caught his breath. Desk Sergeant Hughes took the hint and half a dozen loaded cigars were taken from the lad's pocket and filed as evidence against him. Nantucket's Jailer. Apropos of Nantucket, one hears some rather odd sayings and of some quaint happenings there. " You see, we are somewhat out of the way," said one of the islanders; " so tramps seldom trouble us, and it is only when our summer visitors come that we think of locking our doors at night." Last fall a man was tried for petty larceny, and sentenced by the judge to three months in jail. A few days after the trial, the judge, accompanied by the sheriff, was on his way to the Boston boat, when they passed a man sawing wood. The sawyer stopped • his work, touched his hat, and said, " Good morning, judge." The judge looked at him a moment, passed on a short distance, then turned to glance backward, with the question " Why, sheriff, isn't that the man I sentenced to three months in jail ?" " Yes," replied the sheriff, hesitat-ingly—" ye?, that's the man ; but you see, judge, we—we haven't any one in jail now, and we thought it a useless expense to hire somebody to keep the jail for three months just for this one man ; so I gave him the jail key, and told him that if he'd sleep there nights it would be all right." It's Sally. It's funny, but you can depend on it every time an old chap from the interior strikes the beach and dons a bathing suit he wades out in a ginger-ly fashion—gets bolder at sight of the others around him, and finally marches forth to meet a roller. He sees the others jump them, and he draws a long breath, gets his legs under him, and springs just in time to be caught and turned, end oyer end and plowed along the sand into shal-low water. He gets up indignant and astonished. He chokes and gasps and coughs, and as soon as he can free his eyes he looks around for the old woman. She stands at the edge of the water and calls : " What is it, pa—what's the mat-ter ?" . And ninety-nine times out of a hundred his reply is : "Matter? Why, the durn thing has been salted." When came ashore the other day after receiving a "swat" in the stomach from the pitch of a waye, I heard him say to his wife : " Say, Mary, the intention was to kill me deader'n a herring, and I don't go back there without some kind of security." , Coffins Sent t o Liive Men. • - ".Here's the queerest case of swind-ling I ever heard of," said a gentleman as he laid down a copy of an English newspaper. " It shows that the British are as sharp as the Yankees. A young man, wearing a most melancholy countenance and all the habiliments of woe, went, to a promin ent undertaker, and stkting that his uiicle (naming a wealthy citizen) was dead, ordered a very expensive coffin-with silver mountings to be sent to the residence of the deceased. In pay-ment he tendered a check considerably larger than the price of the coffin, and received the change in hard sovereigns. The sorrowful young man then dis-appeared, and when the coffin was sent according to the address the prominent citizen supposed to be deceased was found alive and well. The Editor's TaMe.

I t s W o n d e r f u l Growth t h e P a s t Year —Figures and P a c t s Given i n De-t a i l . " . From the Evangelical. In our last issue appeared the general statistical report of"our church for 1888, as prepared for and published in the official organs. The study of this table of figures by o.ur readers will not be uninteresting nor unprofit-able. The figures represent facts more or less important and significant. They constitute pointers and way-marks along the uneven path of de-nominatioual progress. They teach lessons and impress facts, and forecast from the record of the past the outlines of the future. An army of 1,781 souls have passed out our Evangelical camp—" mustered out " by the Great Commander—and crossed the flood into the church triumphant. All saved, are they? All welcomed on high with the King's < well done? " God knows ! The death roll for this year is 353 larger than the preceding year, but so also is the roll of membership. Shall we be counted on the roll of the dead for 1889?' An immense number are on recOrd as lost to the church, nearly ten times as many as the army of the departed dead. Of these 677 were expelled, 3,207 withdrew, and 7,380 moved away, a total of 11,264 ! These, with the dead, constitute an army of 13,015 that have passed out of the ranks of our church during the past year. The ''expelled" ones—did they all fall away from Christ, and go out to swell the hosts of Satan ? The " withdrawn" —where are they ? In other churches, or outside of all churches? Those who move away—where do they move? Beyond the bounds of the church to which they belonged ? Ho ! ye 11,261 souls expelled, withdrawn, moved out of the Evangelical Association—where are you, and what are you doing ? The newly converted are reported at 15,200. How otten the notes of joy in the presence of the angels of God must have rung out during the year ! But last year; with 4,156 less members, and 38 less itinerant preachers, there were 2,103 more converts reported, and 2,168 more members newly re-ceived, the total of the latter being 17,084. The total membership on the muster roll is now 141,853, which is a net in-crease of 4,156 over last year. There are some discrepancies in the figures, as the difference between the total losses and total additions does not cor-respond with the reported net gain. Of the total membership of thi3 Evangelical host 1,159 are itinerant preachers and 647 local preachers, a total of 1,806. Imagine this great host, with its' commissioned officers, wholly consecrated to God, endued with the .power of the Holy Spirit, and fully equipped for service, all at work for one year ! What a thrilling story would the statistical tables of 1889 tell ! Baptism was administered to 2,560 adults and 9,528 infants, a total of 12,088, which is 431 less than last year. Why this decrease we have no means of knowing. The churches reported number 1,916 an increase of 85, valued at- $4,561,862, and thé -parsonages 614, valued at $723 ,251. Increased value of church property, $397,451. The benevolent contributions mark a slight advance on the preceding year. For Conference claimants, $7,051 82; gain $494: missionary society, $107,511 11 ; gain, $2,104 Ô2i S. S. and Tract Union, $2,671 42 ; gain, $46 84; Orphan Home, $4,- 614 70. The Sunday-schools number 2,404, with 26,910 and officers teachers, and 165,255 scholars, making a total gain of 62 schools and 3,371 members/There are 723 catechetical classes, with 9,358 members, which is 241 less than last year. Such are the figures of totals in the stable. Interesting comparisons might be made between individual conferences and various items of the table. But we leave that to our readers. —Try Miller's dyspepsia cure, the first dose will give you immediate relief, and by continuing its use for a short time, will effectually cure the worst cases.

Here is an instance : A sleeper is one who sleeps. A sleeper is that in which the sleeper sleeps. A sleeper is that on which the sleeper which carries the sleeper, while he sleeps, runs. Therefore, while the sleeper sleeps in the sleeper, the sleeper carries the sleeper over the sleeper, under the sleeper, until the sleeper which carries the sleeper jumps off the sleeper, and wakes the sleeper in the sleeper by striking the sleeper under the sleeper, and there is no longer any sleeper sleeping in the sleeper on the sleeper.

MiSs Ida Nixon, of Vincentown> N. J., who recently brought suit against R. C. Taylor, of Collirigswood, for breach of promise, has mysteriously disappeared. It is believed they went off and were married. He J u m p e d, " I can never think well of Nash-ville people," remarked one of the group as we were canvassing the Southern cities. " Yery nice people, I think," replied another. " But you don't know 'em. I went there to settle down and make the place my home. One day, when I had been there about two weeks, a fellow came rubbing around me and I told him to keep away or I'd hurt him. He went right off and had me put under bonds to keep the peace. Then a dozen men came to me and advised me to jump my bonds, and I got out and have never gone back.!' " What was there mean about that?" . " Why, I found out afterwards that it was a regular game to get iid of a man they didn't like. It was safer than shooting him, and not half the trouble to ride him on a rail." The Name Still S t i c k s. After gazing out upon the river from the ferry dock for a while he sidled up to an old fake captain who was leaning against the rail and asked: " How far is it down to Lake Erie ?" " It was named after a man named Erie, who never came down to this dock without asking us if we'd have a glass of beer with him. Ah! he was a fine man. He's dead now." " And if a man named Jones came along and asked all of you to drink you'd change the name to Lake Jones, I suppose ?" " We would, sir." : " Very well, captain. My name is Black, but I'll see Jones in a few days and speak to him about it. Mean-time, try and get along on water. How long is this river ?" But the captiain wouldn't answer. C l a s s i f y i n g Express Horses. According to reports in the Phila-delphia papers the Adams Express Company is about to introduce a novel scheme into its business in the various cities in the country. All the horses belonging to the company are to be classified according to color, something that may be done very readily be-cause of the great number of horses owned by the company. All the white and gray horses are to be kept in Philadelphia, the roan horses are to be kept in New York, and animals of other colors will be sent to various cities. K n e w His Gait. There was a tramp standing at the corner the other day when a pedestrian halted and looked him over and said : " I'll tell you how you can make a quarter." " Well ?" " Wash you face !" " And lose $25 by it! Not much!" " How would you lose ? " Why, I go about asking for ten cents to permit me to shave and wash up, and I get it every time. Once I was clean my hold on public sympathy would be gone." _ __ Next T h i n g t o a Fortune. Woman—" Have you been a tramp long ?" Tramp—" Pretty much all my life, ma'am ; it runs in the family. My poor old father was a professional for twenty-seven years, but the other day he struck big luck." Woman—" Did he come into an immense fortune ?" Tramp—" Well—er—no, not quite.

Habits o f t h e P r a i r i e Dog. It is now no longer the prevailing notion that thèse engaging littlp animals do not drink water, but on the contrary, however they may get it, they are very fond of it, and in reality, they must have it frequently. A prairie marmot which I have as a pet drinks water freely three or four times a day, and if deprived of it shows the effect at once and drinks double the amount the very next time he gets- a chance. This little fellow I bought from à Navajoe Indian when it hardly had its eyes open, at present he is full-grown and hibernating in a burrow which he dug in the cellar last October. I emphasize the word hibernating because many still believe that these animals do not do so. Even here at Fort Wingate, and I presume in other parts of New Mexico, the^e animals become torpid just as soon as-the first cold snap strikes them, and repair to their burrows for hibernation. ¿gain until the return of warm weather lures them out. There is a large "prairie dog town" not a mile from where I sit at present, and one may pass through it every day during the cold weather and when snow covers the ground, and not a track of this little animal can be found anywhere in the vicinity. By thë middle of February, however, they will begin to show themselves. There is another old story now nearly entirely exploded about them. I refer to the happy family of the " prairie dog," the prairie owl and the rattlesnake "all living in harmony in the same burrow. Of course they do nothing of the kind, but the marmots have to put up with these owls and snakes the best they can , precisely as we,in our large towns and communities, have to put up with our owls and snakes in human form—meeting and passing men everv day of our lives whom perhaps we know well to be sneak-thieves and cut-threats. It is said upon good authority that prairie marmots will even desert the burrow in which a big "rattler" enters, and even, if small cobble-stones be hândy in the neighborhood of the entrance, deliberately seal it up with them, so that the snake cannot get out and must starve to death. A f f l i c t ed J a c k s o n v i l l e. Truly the people of Jacksonville are shrouded in " pestilence that walketh in darkness and the destruction that wasteth at noonday." The deadly epidemic seems to mock even the ut-most care and effort, and the list of new cases and deaths . increase each: day. The people remaining in Jackson-ville in health have made a heroic battle, but their resources are exhaust« ed. Their suffering, and peril call with emphasis upon every humane citizen for prompt and generous aid. Of, a total population of 14,000 lemaining in the city, there ai-e nearly 9,000 without means to. live or escape the terrible.epidemic. All trade is at a stand still, and all who depend on daily business have been without in-' come for weeks. ' All who can be got away from the ill-fated city should be aided to leave, and those who are willing to remain should be given bountiful means to preserve life and health.—Philadelphia Times.

He has" made this suggestion to many aud° in each case has received the thanks of those who have been benefited by it. It is simple and does not require any phil-osophy to prove it. Value of tlio Eucalyptus Tree. The eucalyptus belongs to the myrtle tribe.1 It is said that there are as many as 150 varieties of the tree. They are native; to .Australia, but have already been introduced into most of the tropical and temperate countries of the world. . Two kinds have been chiefly cultivated, the red. gum (resinifera), and. the blu« gum (globulus), which; is .the better known. , It is ' famous for its rapid growth, as it.of ten makes an In crease in height of- from six to nine feet a year. The tree continues growing at this rate Until it lias reached an enormous size. : . The products of this tree are. numerous and varied. The wood is said to be val-uable for the carpenter's and builder's uses. The gum, or rosin, is employed in the manufacture of "soaps, perfumes, lozenges, court plaster, liniments, syrups, pomades, toilet vinegars, as well as many preparations used for artistic purposes, such as varnishing oils, veneer and trac-ing paper." There has been for some years established in Paris a store for the sale of eucalyptus perfumery. - But by far the; most, valuable and im-portant property of this; tree is its power, of correcting malaria. This quality is, perhaps, duo to the aromatic oil which the tree contains, or more probably to the drainage effected by its roots. It has been proved in many countries in which the tree " has been planted. In Algeria the cultivation of the tree has. rendered many low lying or marshy, districts in-habitable, where, in the early years of French occupation, foreigners could not live on account1 of deadly fevers.— Youth's Companion.
