Have you seen the tytest ? grandpa’s legs were too long, and he of cerewonies chopped them off. The ~ WRITTEN A great many stories are told of stingy people, but Mechanicsburg ean probably lay claim to the distine- tion of having by far the stingiest man on earth. He lives up there y} somewhere, but just where isn’t pru- dent to state, because if the exact location were divulged he might hie himself away with a robust club and look for personal satisfaction and the writer. ‘ At any rate, some years ago—say about ten—his grandfather died, and two of his children about the same time shuitled off this mortal coil in| the usual quiet and peaceful manner, Their remains were interred ip th yard of this stingiest man on earth to! return to the dust of which they sprang, and to mingle with the sod of mother earth. Not long since, when the remains were disinterred, however, they had not yet undergone any dusty metamorphosis, and the casket had not decayed sufficiently to permit their mingling with the sed of mother earth or father dirt. The old gent up in the ‘burg’ had de- cided to plant corn in his yard and concluded that it’ was expedient to trunsfer the remains of his lost ances- tor and slumbering posterity to Oak Grove, a cemetery not entirely un- known to Paducah people. — The remains were exhumed, but when the enterprising resident started to have the graves dug in Oak Grove he ascertained that it would cost him $2 for each child’s grave and $3 for the mundane receptacle of his grand- pa. It was then that the spirit of economy suffused hts soul, and he studied studiously Calling the assis- tance of a boy, he took grandpa out of his vermicular enclosure, and one of his deceased progeny out of his ditto. The coffin box of the other son—the old one had been replaced by anew goods box about the proper size—was opened. The second son was dumped in with the first, but wouldn't go in well. Scratching bis head and elevating which were the only things elev: about the good and reverential zen, he finally bethought himself of an ingenious expedient, and sent the boy for an axe, When the latter re- tured he was told to hold grandpa’s feet, a la turkey on the Thanksgiving block, and the economizing director cadaver then went in without sny difficulty, and as he tossed the two distended pedal extremities in with the remainder of the anatomical dis- play, be murmured an exultant Now I can get ’em all in a $2 grave ave $51"? yw this story is and A YARD OF FACES.

A great many things have passed people ever had a telephone message go through them. ‘There are a couple of Padueah telephone linemen, however, who haye undergone this nove! experience. ‘The Mayfield **Democrat’’ says: “Two Padu telephone linemen before repairing a broken wire caught up the ends of the wire, joined hands and allowed a message to be sent through them from Maytield to Paducah,’’ Jim Holden is the name of a col- ored trusty at the county jail, who now enjoys the sobriquet of Biscuit of his inordinate fondness and capacity for biscuits.

Later she signified a desire to unite with the church, and several of the ladies went to see her and question her on the subject,—to sound her sanctity, asit were. She joined, and the ladies were very highly gratified at their success, Not long afterwards the newly elected candidate for salvation ap- yroached one of the ladies and 1n- quired: ‘‘When will the bishop be here ?’” “Why, we don’t have bishops in the Presbyterian churchb,’’ exclaimed one of the la amused at the young woman’s eyident ignora: “They bave bishops in the Epis- copal church,’’ she explained. “Well that’s what I thought this was, Why, those ladies have been giving me clothes to join the Epis- copal church,” faltered the deluded woman, ‘‘and I thought 1 was going to the right one.” It developed that some of the ladies of the Episcopal church had asked her why she didn’t go to church, and she offered as an ex- cuse the fact that she had no suitable clothes. They sent her some, and of course she felt duty bound to go to church and to jom. But she a cidently joined the wrong one. ‘Lhe incident furnished —_ considerable amusement for members of both churches, o - Dr. P. H, Stewart has a very bright little son—two of them in fact—but tha elder is the one of whom this narrative is told. A few days ago the doctor went down to market and bought a large hog, which he carried home to have converted into lard sausdge,and perhaps pickled | pigs’ feet. For a day or two the homefolks were busy performing the duties so essential in sowship into the desirable delicacies, aod in making the sausage a quantity of sage was mixed in. Some of the stems in the sage were not removed when it was pinched off the small bale in which it is bought. When the first sausage was cooked, the Youngster was very eager to get first choice. He took a big mouthful, chewed for a moment and then turn- ing to his mother he disdainfully _re- marked, iu apparent disgust, ‘1 knowed you get too much hay in them sausage."’ The following good one is from the Chicago ‘*Times-Herald,”’ and is given for the amusement for our rail- road readers: ‘Before’l came to this part of the country | was an engineer on a rail- road down south,’? said a railway man, ‘We used to make a long run and we were pretty long about. While on that line I had some odd experiences. I remember one day, when we reached the junction station, a woman came up to me and asked me to hold the train for five minutes. She said that her daugh- ter wanted to take the train to the city. I told her that it was impos- sible for me to hold the train for her.’” “I don’t see why,’ she expostu- lated, ‘I think you might do a little thing like that.’ “I tried to explain to her that trains run on schedule time, and, like time and tide, wait for no man, or woman either, for that matter. But she wouldn’t have it, and fiually just as we were about to start, she shouted indignantly : “Well, I'll just see about that.’ “T laughed, but soon I ceased to laugh, for what did that old woman do but get right on the track about three feet in front of the engine. She sat herself there, firmly grasping bold of the rails with both hands. The conductor signaled for me to go ahead, as our stop was over. But L couldn’t do itas long as she remained on the track, for 1 would kill ber certainly, I called to the conductor and he, impatient at the delay, came up. I explained the situation to him. He was as mad as I was, and going up to the woman told her to get off the track, ‘41 just. won't,’ she replied, ‘til my daughter gets on board your train.” ‘He pleaded with her some more and finslly declared that be would be compelled to use force. **sJust you dare!’ she cried, sue you for damages if you do.” “This opened a new complication, and we reasoned with ourselves whether we had better remove her by force. Just as we had determiaed upon a course of policy her daughter came up and seeing the old woman on the track, kissed her goodbye and got on the train, while her mother called to her: “Go ahead, Mary Ann, You have plenty of time, though, for 1 TH . changing her | se very | sit on the track until you get on board.’ yAndthen, when Mary Ann was safely an board, and we were about ready to run over the old woman, if necessary, she calmly and slowly got up und waved me a goodbye, calling as we pulled out of the station: “TL hope I’ve teached you feller @ grain of perliteness.’ ’* DRIFTWOOD GATHERED ON THE LEVEE.

It is defined as the love for, and search after wisdom, In usage, it is the knowledge of phenomena as explained by and resolved into causes, reasons, powers, and laws. When applied: to any particular department of kuowl- edge, philosophy denotes the general Jaws or principles under which all the subordinate facts relating to that subject are comprebended, Philoso- phy, when applied to God and divine government, is called Theology ; when applied to material subjects, it is called Natural Philosophy — or Physics. ‘Thus, also, we have Moral Philosophy. Mental Philosophy, etc. Philosophy differs from science in or- igin, aim, and method, Philosophy seeks causes; science secks an order- derly arrangement of fac's. Philoso- History.

Philosophy is ever searching for higher truths ; it is more stimulating than science. nce seeks and finds out more of the ser- viceable elements of knowledge, but it must wait upon philosophy for the elements out of which it builds. But to tie subject: The Philosophy of Mistory. History is defined as a record of human events, especially as applied to nations in civilized life. The Philosophy of History, therefore, means philosophical explanations of effects, by their causes, applied to human exertions as nations. What is more interesting, more instructive, | more useful, more inspiring, careful study of human civilizations, with the motives that controlled their activities, the causes that produced! certain results, the struggles of | ‘human spirit to acquire freedom?” We may unvail the past, and trace the path of men over periods of ap- prehension, periods of pros, | | and at each successive stage, upon some Ebenezer reared by live ty-loving millions.
