It is related of a clergyman from Northern Vermont, who years ago paid a visit to New York, and was invited to fill a city pulpit during the dog day pastorial vacations, that he never had tho privilege of listening to a church organ, and was totally unacquainted with the teshion of hir iug a few vocalists to do the singing for the congregation. Giving out his first hymn the organist played a fan cy prelude, and in the highest style of the art the choir rendered the four verses. Addressing tho throne o! grace in a ferrent invocation which stamped him as a man ofintcllcct and power with the audience, he coolly re opened his hymnbook and turning to a page exclaimed, “ The audience will now join with me in singing a good old Methodist hymn, and those per sons running that bag of wind in the gallery will please not interrupt." IQnrrliHtr. Lcigh Hunt concludes an essay on marriage as follows :—“There is no one thing more lovely in this life, more full of the dirincst courage, than a young maiden from her past life, from her happy childhood, when she rambled over every field and moor around her home; when a moth er anticipated her wants and soothed her little cares, when brothers and sisters grew from merry playmates to loving, trustful friends; from Christmas gatherings and romps, the summer festivals in bower or garden, from the rooms sanctified by the death of relatives; from the secure back grounds of her childhood, and girl hood, ad maidenhood, looks out in to the dark and Unilluminatcd future, away from all that, and yet unterri fied undaunted, leans her fair cheek upon her lover’s breast, and whispers, “ Dear heart 1 I cannot sec, but I be lieve. The past was beautiful, and the Aituro I can trust —with thee /" A Story or tiik Small Pox Epi demic in New York.— A few days since a gentleman of very considera ble wealth returned from a northern trip, bringing with him a youthful and beautilUl bride he had just es poused. Leaving her in the city, he hastened to bis country seat to super intend the putting in order for recep tion. lie was absent but a day or two, yet, during that time, the young wife was stricken with the prevailing disease, and, despite the fact that am ple medical attendance, nurses, etc., could have been procured, she was hurried off to the pest house. The husband returned, and learning the fatal news, he at once went to .his place by the bedside of her whom he had so recently sworn to love and protect He was denied admittance even for an instant, and in forty-eight hours she was dead and buried in the potter’s field. The sheet upon which the victim died, half a gallon of car bolic acid, a pine board coffin, and a bead piece of the material, with Mrs. painted upon it, were the funeral paraphernalia—these, and nothing more, A music teacher once wrote that “ the art of playing the violin requires the nicest perception and the moat sense of any art in the known world.” Whereupon a Western editor com ments thus: “The art of publish ing a newspaper and making it pay, and at the some time making it please everybody, beats fiddlin’ higher than a kite.” We have for sale a quantity of blank j land deeds, beautifully printed on ex ! eellent paper. ’ ' ‘ Lector Freon ftea, Beauregard. The Petersburg {Va.) Index pub lishes a letter from Gen. Beauregard, of New Orleans, denying that he had been la Prance during the late war. After stating that he had not been out of the United States since 1866, he adds: “Being of French origin (my ances tors having emigrated from France to Louisiana over a century ago,) my sympathies were with the French in their late war with Germany; but not being an officer de fortune, (a mili tary adventurer), I did not feel called upon to offer my services in a strug gle in which I was hot directly or indirectly interested. Moreover, it might have appeared rather presump tuous oa the part of an ex-Confeder ate officer to suppose he could be of much service to a nation represented to have the best officers and soldiers in the world. “After the fall of Sedan and Metz, which enabled the Germans to con centrate their forces against gallant Paris, the fate of France appeared settled. To continue the struggle after the surrender of Paris, when all she German armies could be employ ed in overrunning the whole of France, destroying all her resources, would simply be suicidal. She had better make a virtue of necessity, gird her lions, submi t to her bard fate, and, looking to her history from the days of Charlemagne, put her hopes in the fbture.” A Fisn Story. —We met a boy on the streets yesterday, and without the ceremony of asking our name, he exclaimed: “ You Just orter been down to the river a while ago J” “ Why f” we enquired. “Because, a nigger was in there swimming and a big cat-fish came up behind him and swallowed both of his feet and went swimming along on top of th« water with him, and they came up behind another big fish, and the nigger swallowed his tail and the nigger and two fish went swim ming about I” “ Well, then what ? we asked. “ Why, after a while, the nigger swallowed his fish, and the other fish swallowed the nigger, and that’s the last 1 saw of either of them.” “Sonny,” said we, with feelings of alarm for the boy, “you are in a teir way to become the editor of a Radi cal paper”—and we left. him. t hlvnlrjr. A girl of tender sensibilities eloped with a man near Knoxville, Tcnn., recently, and when her father sought to detain her, she knocked the old gen tleman down with a shovel. Her par ent pursued the couple after marriage, and the husband and tether having exchanged shots, the blushing bride emptied a revolver at her liege lord, disabling him completely, and return ed home with pr pa. Trip Lightly. Trip lightly over trouble. Trip lightly over wrong; W« only make grief double By dwelling on it long. Why clasp woe’s hand so tightly f Why sigh o’er blossoms dead r Why cling to forms unsightly f Why not seek Joy instead 7 Trip lightly over sorrow. Though this day may be dark, The sun may shine to-morrow, And gaily sing the lark. Fair hope haa not departed, Though roses may hare fled ; Then never be down-hearted, But look for Joy instead. Amen, **■? tfce Way.” A worthy old clergyman in the neighborhood of Boston to very ab sent-minded and has a short memory’. It is a common habit with him in the pulpit to forget something, and then, often sitting down, to rise up again, and begin his suppementary remarks with tbe expression, “By the way.” A few Sundays ago, he got half way through a prayer, when he hesitated, forgot what he was about, and sat down abruptly without closing. In a moment or two he rose, and point ing his fore-finger at the amazed con gregation, he said, “Oh, by the way —Amen.” A Connecticut termer, wishing to try tbe experiment of raising cotton, instead of the time-honored wooden nutmeg, wrote to Mr. Greeley for ad vice, and received it, Horace told told hire he hadn’t better go H too extensively until he found he could raise it and advised him to list get s yard of unbleached cotton and cut the eyes out and plant tbe eyas, the same as potatoes. Tbe termer did as directed, and to sitting up nights to see his cotton cemo up—. N. 7. Democrat.
