The other neighbor, th.mgh often expostulated with, would let his run at large; and 1 they made sid work in the gardens of she minister and bis otter neighbor. One day the man who kept his liens shut up came to the minister i" great trouble,' | saying, “Mr. I’., I really do not kiiotv ' tii do; I had just put my garden all 1 in fin • oak r, and neighbor ’« liens' h ive scratched the beds all up, and un done all my work. I don’t Want to 1 ; make trouble in the neighborhood,' but* wlut rail I do?’ ihe venerable minister immediately said : Wool; here; 1 have two liens 1 wish to j kill.. I will let them out, and they will ‘i light iuto your garden. You shoot j il'Cm. You may throw them over it you ’ ! are a mind to; but yon shoot them.’ i He went home. The liens were let I out, and were soon in his garden, and he shot them. The nows flew through the neighborhood that this man had shot the’ Minister's liens. The other neighbor Ik aid of it and sai l to himself, ‘lf he will' shoot the minister’s hens, lie will mino,’ and at once shut them up, and the an noy uace ceased. This was truly very shrewd in the minister. It would not)' of course, have dime for him to shoot anybody's lions, but if another dares to shoot a minister's hens, ho surely would' ! any ono else’s. This was being wise as serpents, if 1 not harmless as doves.

The members 1 id the Pennsylvania Legislature ul*e gen* tiemen, sir—perfect gentlemen. You*, don’t have tv bribe them but once; but’ bringing his fist in virtuous indignation down upon the table—‘these scoundrels i \ irginia have no more conscience' than a hog, and you never know when 1 you have done tuying them.’ — In accordance with a ivcont net of j (longr- sH, no internal revenue stamps ' will be hereafter re(]uired tiptin any le gal document whatever, no paper Leing* subject to t.tuinp duty except cheeks, drafts, and orders drawn :st sight, or on demand, upon banks, bankers, ot tniHtf companies.

A radical and desir able change has thus been affected in the s; stem of internal revenue, but what? effect it will have upon the (jiuvoi nmout/ receipts remains to be seen. ‘I declare,’said an old lady, reverting to the promise made on her marriage' dov by her liege, lord, '1 shall never for ce! when Ohndiah put the nuptial ring on my finger, and said, ‘With my world*'’ !y goods I thee endow.’ II- used to' keep a dry goods store then, and then l' thought lie was going to give me the' whole there was in it,- I’ was young’ and simple then, and I did not know tHI ! afterward that it meant one calico gown’ a year.’ A Western editor, receiving an invi tation to take tea with a lady friend, accepted.
