THE OLD MINISTER AND THE TAV-
KHlt KEEPBH'S PRETTY WIFE.
Two Methodist clergymen were riding
to the district 2?ilferny trough a re
tired portion of Canada; One wag a ven
erable brother, the other a young man
just installed in the work of the gospel.
An they passed an old oross-roads tavern,
the elder brother pointed toward it with
his whip, and said: " Mao; and many a
day I've been at that tavern, and a
mighty handsome wife the keeper had,
too. She was one of the handsomest
women I ever saw, young, pretty, plump,
fine oolor, and such arms. Many and
many a kiss I have given her when we
were sitting in a big haircloth chair in
the little private sitting room off the bar.
Well, well, time flies" and the good old
man gazed at his companion, whose eyes
were as large as soap plates, then blush
ing of a deep beet-red he said with some
confusion: "Bless me, what havo I been
saying? 01 course brother, you will
not breathe a word of this; I oannot im
agine how I oame to say anything about
it, but then the tongue is," etc. The
young olergymnn gave the required
pledge, and repeated it when ut ttie end
of their drive the old man besought him
earnestly to remember and not breathe a
word of the matter. But during the
afternoon the young minister arose in
the conference, and declaring that his
conscienoe would not longer allow him
to bear the burden he had imposed npon
it, and that be must tell the tmtb, no
matter how terrible the consequenoes,
informed the astonished brethren that
Brother had that day admitted that
he had been guilty of improper and un
christian oonduot toward a married
woman nay, more, had reoited bis sin
with an unotion which showed that it
had never been severely repented of. It
is needless to say that everybody first
stared at the speaker and then at the ao
oused minister, who for a hundred miles
around had won cn enviable reputation
for uprightness and purity. The aoouBed
baried his faos in bis hands, aad the
chairman desired the young brother to
repeat his btartling aeousation, with de
tails. The yonng clergyman did so, and
when ho staled that the other mem'
ber i the " guilty pair ' was a woman
whose nnmo be did not know, but whose
husband kept a tavern rt Corners,
wis electrified to bear tbe Chairman
bawl, "Hal ha! ha !" and every mem
ber of the conference go off in parol
ysms of laughter. "Can you is it pos
sible you oanBmile at auoh arevelation?"
said the dumbfounded young minister;
and as soon as the chairman bad suffloi
ently mastered his emotion to speak he
said, " My dear young brother, before
Brother was converted and entered tbe
ministry he kept that tavern!" There
after that young minister was loss zeal
ous and infinitely more disoreet.
The New York World estimates the
debts of tbe American people, inoluding
the debts of tbe National Government,
of tbe several States, counties, corpora
tions, companies and individuals, at
$20,000,000,000. Of coarse this is ap
proximate, and if oorreot in point of fast,
it is not so in effect, as a large portion of
public and private indebtedness is offset
by credits. Tbe nation and nearly all
of tha States, most of the oitiea and many
of tbe oounties, have sicking funds to
partially meet their liabilities. Tbe
debts of oities are sometimes given in
the total and some times with tbe sink
lug fund deduoted. Corporations and
individuals, may owe large sums and
have larger ones due them. The World's
figures are therefore, little more than
reminder that as a people wo are some'
what heavily in debt.
Hometimes tbe servioes of a oivil en
gineer are aheap at twioa the money. A
Henderson County farmer worked fonr
dJ digging a ditch to drain a bit of
low meadow of his own into a big pond
on anotber man's farm. And when the
ditoh Waa ODened thn nnnrt walked Innt
right into tbe meadow and located about
twenty acres of swamp, right where tbe
bay used to grow. And the farmn was

VOL. XVII.
SoOTHEBN CTANIUBD3. In MarOh, J
1861, the confederate congress adopted
the so-called stars and bars flag, com-
pcs?d of three horizontal ban of equal
wdith, tbe middle one white, the other
red, wiih a blue union containing nlao
stars in white, arranged in a oirole. Tbe
resemblanae of this to the stars and
stripes often led to oonfusion, and in
September of that year a battle-flag waa
adopted, whiob had a red field charged
with a blue saltier with a narrow border
of white, on which were displayed thir
teen white stars. In 1863 the "stars and
bars" flag was supplanted by a flag
witi. a white field, having the battle-flag
for union. This flag was found tc be
deficient ip service, it being liable to be
mistaken for a flag of truce, nd Febru
ary 4, 18G5, the other half of the field
beyond tbe union was covered with a
vertioa! red bear. This was tbe last flag
of tbe oonfederaoy.
jIai Adelkb on Monkeys. The mon
keys seem to amuse the people most. I
like a monkey myself. Do you know I
believe it's a positive loss to human be
ings that they haven't got tails like
monkeys? Why a monkey can take bold
of anytbiug with bis tail just like you
can with your hand. It's really third
band. JNow s posen you bad mob a
tail? If you had to hang on to a plat
form of a crowded horse-car with your
hands you could hold your umbrella with
your tail If you were walking up and
down ttai room at night with the baby,
you oould carry bim with your arms and
give bim a spoonful of paregorio with
your tail, If you wanted to take your
family cut airing yon oould grab a child
with each band and pull the baby-ooaoh
with your tail. I tell yon, sir, it s a
dead loss to you that you're not built
like a monkey.
A rare sight was witnessed on the beaoh
yesterday. For several hundred feet tbe
surf was a perfeot black mass of young
fish (anohovies probably) . They extend
ed out about fifty feet from the edge of
the surf, end appeared to be guarded by a
line of larger fish, among whiob a turmoil
would oaoaaioBally occur, as others of
a different sort made an attack on the
flank of the cloud of small fry. Tbe
same phenomenon was visible on Sunday
afternoon. They seemed to drift down
the ooast with the tide, and wilt doubtless
return when the tide rises again. Sun
dry small boys made several attempts to
oapture some of them in nets, but they
failed every time. Tbe fish were so thiek
that tbe waves oould not break on the
beach. Santa Barbara (Cal.) Adver
tiser.
A judge baa decided that a woman is
not an "old maid" until she is thirty-
five do you hear that, girls.
