A good old lady, speaking in prayer meeting and giving expression to the joy and confidence she felt, said —‘ I feel as if I was ready this minute to fall into the arms of Beelzebub.’ 'Abraham! You mean Abraham ?’ hastily corrected a brother sitting near. ‘ Well, Abraham, then,’ was the response. 'lt uon’t maxe any difference. They’re both good men.’— Savanna (Ga.) Recorder. A pompous lawyer, who supposed himself to be very sarcastic, said to the keeper of an apple stand : ‘ It seems to mo that you should quit this trying business and go at something which is not so wearing on the brain.’ ‘ Oh, ’taint business,’ said the apple seller, ‘it is lyin’ awake nights tryiu’ to decide whether to leave my fortun’ to a orphan ’sylum or to a home for played out old lawyers as is a-killin’ me.’
