I am glad that one of the barrels is a rifle, as I need it for long ranee practice. The other I can iill with buckshot, and can riddle a man nicely at close quarters. I mean to try both barrels on those Jetts when I meet them. You see old man Jett stole a mule from us in the war, and when it was over pap laid for him and killed him. Then nigger Tom Jett, as we call him the black faced one he laid for pap and plugged him. Then I picket! a fuss with Tom, and cut him into giblets, and since that time his brother Sam has been laying for me. I know it is his turn, but I think my double barrel will prove too much for him. If you want to see fun come down for awhile and bring a riile. It don't make any diueience which side you belong to, and it isn't even necessary to join the militia. It is easy to get tip a grudge against somebody, and all yon have to do is to lay for your man and knock him over.

When the regular train from San Francisco arrived, McMahon pass ed along by the car windows and discovered the truant husband and Ins female companion cosilv seated in one of the cars. He "pointed him out to the wife, and she made a rush for him. Lifting the little boy in her arms she threw him into the car window, and he called out 'Papa" lustily.

Pat and the Pi. A countryman having killed a pig and not wishing to divide with j his neighbors, as was the custom ! ill that COIllltrV. Said to hi unn (who by the way, was a son of the Emerald Isle:) "Pat, if I give to the neighbors who have given to me. a piece of pork, I'll have none myself Can von tell me what I am to do? "Be dad, sir," said Pat, "it's my self that can do that same thing." "Good," said the countryman, rubbing his hands and looking at Pat. "Now- tell me what I "can do." ."' - "Faith, sir," said Pat, "sure and when the cravthur is cleaned, just be after hanging it against the door where every mil her' s son of them will see it; and early in the morning, before one is about get up and take in your pig, and hide it away. Then, when your neigh bors come, just be alther telling them the pig was stole." "Capital "idea, Pat," exclaimed the countryman; "I'll do it, by St. ( ieorge!" So, when the pig was cleaned, it was hung up outside the door, so that the neighbors might see it. The countryman anxiously await ed the approaching night, and at last retired to bed, but not to sleep. Pat, under cover of the darkness of night, crept round thy house and stole the pig. What was the astonishment of the countryman, when at early dawn he arose to hide the pig, but found no pig there, can be better imagined than described. In the midst of his bewilderment, i at came m with his usual "Top o tiie morning to ve, sir.,' am giving him a knowing wink, -said: -Mather, bow abi out the pig: v eu, i'at, the p:g was stolen in reality." "Faith and that sounds just as natural as if you'd lost your pig." "But, you blockhead, I tell yon the pig was stolen." "Faith and begorry, master, the divil a bit 'o me thought, vou could do so well. Just stici; to that: it's .11' II T , as natural as life."

It was then raining, and he hoisted his umbrella. When about one mile from home he was struck by a hot, sharp, tcr rible stroke of lightning, lie wore a steel truss, ami the lightning penetrated his pantaloons and shirt, and took up its line of travels on the circuit round his body. Part of the charge left the truss at his side and passed down his right side into the spring seat, tearing it to pieces and knocking down both bis horses. His hip to-dav was bruised, and the skin lacerated badly for about a foot in length by three inches in width, and is very sore. The balance of the charge k it the truss and climbed up his left side, blazing its way as it went, and part of it forced a pass age through his shirt and over coat at the shoulder, and the bal ance trailed its way leisurely down his arm, scorching and ringing a wide swath as it went, untii it struck the umbrella handle, Avhen he at. last got rid of his meddle some visitor. lie was benumbed j and somewhat paralyzed, but suc ! ceeded in reaching home by hiin : self, although he had to be helped out of t he wagon.

They then took him to the nearest convent, and said they had found hiai lying drunk on the roadside, and had brought him there in or der to avoid the scandal which might ensue if he were found out side. On awaking the sapper was not a little astonished to find him self in the cell of a convent, with a monk's cowl on, and that he had no hair kit on his head. To his protestations the fathers replied that ho must be. still laboring m dcr the effects of drink, and ad vised him lo go to sleep once more. At length they consented to send for the priest of the parish v. here he said lie resided, in order to ch ar up the mystery. On the priest ar riving, he recognized in the psou uo monk his parishoner, whereup on he was permitted to depart.

There is a class of men and wo men who are grumblers by nature; they have so long become accus tomed to finding fault and talk ing in a discouraging manner that they can see nothing but the dark side to everything they look at. It is not that everything and every body is wrong with which they come in contact, but they are natural grumblers and being so cannot deviate from habit. The grumbler must be a tattler, for he cannot well be one without the other. To grumble and' find fault, is to tattle and babble of the faults of those whom we meet and associate with.- It is amusing to sit in a railway street car and hear grumbling men or women make themselves con spicuous in their fault finding.. It is too warm, cold, windy, sultry,, rainy, dry, crowded, empty and stilling. The cars run so misera bly slow; the road bed is roagli; the cars are not first-class; some of the seats are turned the wrong way; there is dust and cinder com ing in at the window that admits the air to keep the temperature be low suffocation; the sun occasion ally shines in. Why is there not some con-enience arranged to keep out its brilliant ravs? It now goes ml too fast; they stop too long for water; the infernal tunnel had no' business to have been built, to coop them up for ten or twenty minutes in the smoke, and heat, and dirt. The best things, the greatest advantages, and the most politeness shown the grumbler, arc courtesies thrown away. He will not admit anything he receives as good enough, or so good but it should have been better. The grumbler is continually in trouble, and is never satisfied un less others look through the same diseased vision that he does. If you attempt to break through his natural routine of grumbling, be speaking encouragingly of his pros pects, position or attainments, hc even grumbles at the blessings he receives, because they did not come to his forefathers before he was born. The grumbler is never easy or satisfied, and tries to pre vent others from being so; he is not a pleasant acquaintance, and a worse companion. He is always conspicuous, and never interesting: his remarks do not partake of in terest to any one. lie grumbles because he lias learned to do it it is habit, and one that is most difficult to shake off.
