’ jn uZnlhi/or cor
respondent of the Met ,I,H Protes
tant relates the the follow,„g story,
which is too good to oe lost.
\ verv sensitive preacher in a
certain village not more than a hun
dred miles from Baltimore, was dis
coursing upon ,he uncertainty of
human life. To give the greater
effect to his remarks, after assuring
them that they might die before an
hour elapsed, he said, “And I your
speaker, may be dead before anoth
er morning dawns.”
“Amen !” was ihe audible re
sponse of a pious and much-loved
brother in the congregation. The
preacher was evidently disconcer
ted for a moment. He thought the
brother must have misunderstood
his meaning. Pausing awhile, he
repeated the declaration with still
greater emphasis —“Before another
hour vour speaker may be in eter
nity !”
“Amen shouted the brother be
fore him.
It was too much for the sensitive
man ; and, stammering out a few
additional remarks, he sat down
before he had finished his discourse.
“Brother said the preach
er the next day to his kind hearted
friend of the amen corner, “what
did you mean by saying amen to
my remarks last night? Do you
wi-h l was dead ?”
“Not at all,” said ihe good broth
er, “not at all. 1 thought if you
should die, you would go straight to
glory, and I meant amen to that!”
Paddy's Boots. —We heard a good
one—says the Newark “Mercury,”
—of a green sprig from the Emer
ald Isle, who, the other day enter
ed a boot store in this city, to pur
chase himself a pair of “brogans-”
After overhauling his stock in trade
without being able to suit his custo
mer, the shop-keeper hinted to him
that he would make him a pair to
order.
“And what will yer ax to make
a good pair iv them ?” asked Pat.
The price was named ; Paddy
demurred, but after a “bating
down,” the thing was a trade.
Paddy was about leaving, when the
other called him,asking—
“What size shall I make jhem,
*ir ?”
“Och!” cried Pat, promptly,
“niver mind about the size at all—
make them as large as ye conveni
ently can for the money !”
Facetious. —A short lime after the
arrival of the ship Mary Anne into
one of the Liverpool docks, one of
•lihe officials connected with it sent
over a messenger to the Custom
House, with the astounding infor
-mation that the landing waiter had
omitted examining the trunk of one
of the passengers. A landing sur
veyor was immediately sent oyer to
the dock to discharge the necessary
duty, who on arriving at his destina
tion, asked to see the passenger’s
trunk, upon which he was gravely
referred to the “elephant” which
the vessel had brought over for the
Regents's Park Zoological Society.
The Surveyor good-humoredly
laughed at the joke, and acknow
ledged hitfiself fairly “sold.”
Flattery and Unexpected Gift. —We
have just, learned of a most . gratify
ing incident connected with New
Year's day in our city. On Wed
nesday morning a party of gentle
men connected with the Arch street
Presbyterian Church, waited on
their pastor, Rev. Charles Wads
worth, and presented him an elegant
casket, filled to the brim with So
gold pieces, amounting in all to
S7OO. The reverend gentlemen
was wholly taken by surprise at the
reception of such a gift, presented
in such a verv flattering manner. It
was a genuine free-will offering, and
contributed by a few gentlemen, as
a token of ilie very high regard in
which Mr. \V. is held by the flock
under bis charge.
The casket containing this mag
nificent and substantial present, is
af metal, richly gilt and elaborately
wrought. It was constructed in
Paris, after one designed and exe
cuted by the court artisans, in the
reign of Louis Phillippe. It is a
novel and curious, hut exceedingly
beautiful piece of work, and will
be no doubt highly valued by its esti
mable rescipient. Its greatest
value, however, we should think,
would be from its association with
an incident that must ever be re
membered by him with pleasure.—
Philadelphia Bulletin.
A Muff. —The following anec
dote was told with great glee at a
dinner, by Willian IV., then Duke
of Clarence. I was riding in the
Park the other day, on the road be
tween Teddington and Hampton
wick, wheii I was overtaken by a
butcher's hoy on horseback, with a
tray of meat under his arm. “Nice
pony that of yours, old gentleman,”
said he. “Pretty fair,” was mv
reply. “Mine’s a good one, too,”
rejoined he, “and I'll trot you to
Hampton-wick for a pot o’ beer.”
1 declined the match, anti the
hutcher’s boy, as he struck his
single spur in his horse’s side ex
claimed, with a look of contempt,
M I thought you were only a muff.”
English Laborer. —An English
laborer in Cheshire attempting to
drown himself, an Irish reaper,
who saw him go into the water,
leaped after him, and brought him
safe to shore. The fellow attempt
ing it a second time, the reaper, a
second time got him out; but the
laborer, being determined to destroy
him*elf, watched an opportunity
and haugffed himself behind the
barn door. The Irishman observed
him, but never offered to cut him
down ; when several hours after
wards, the master of the farm-yard,
asked, upon what ground he had
suffered the poor fellow to bang
there; Faith, replied Patrick, I
don’t know what you mean by
ground : I know I was so good to
him that I fetched him out of the
water two times—and I know , too,
he was wet through every rag, and
I thought he hung himself up to dry ,
and you know , I could have no right
to prevent him.
A Young Japhet. —“My son, can
you take a trunk for me up to the
hotel,” said a passenger, stepping
from a boat on to the levee , to a rag
ged looking youngster, who sat
balancing himself on the tail of a
©
drav.
“Yotir son ?” cried the boy,
e\ r eing him from head to foot.
“Well, I’ll be dod drabbed if I
ain't in luck. Here I’ve been tryin’
to find out my daddy for three
years, and all of a sudden up comes
the old hoss himself, and knows me
right off. How are you?” stretch
ing out a muddy-looking paw.
The traveller was non-plussed.
Between a smile and a frown, he
inquired,
“What is 3 r our name, sir?”
“My name ? So you don’t know?
Well, it’s nothin’ for people in
these parts to have so many child
ren that they don’t know their
names. My name’s Bill, but some
folks call me William for short,
What the other part is, I reckon
you knows. If you don’t, you mus’
ax the ole ’oman.”
And shouldering the trunk, he
marched off’ towards the hotel,
mumbling to himself,
“Well, this is a go. The ole
gem man come home at last.
Good clothes, big trunk, must have
the tin. Well, lam in luck.”
A Real Yankee Trick. —A man
ill Connecticut obtained a winter’s
supply of excellent potatoes, in the
following cute manner. He gave
out that he was desirous ofobtaining
a specimen of the best sort of potar
toes, and would pay $3 for a peck of
such, himself to be the judge. Po
tatoes poured into his cellar from
all the country’, round, and when the
avalanche had subsided, the man
handed over his $3 for the best peck,
and the next spring sold potatoes
enough ro more than cover the
original outlay, besides having had
a first quality article for home use
all the winter.
A pitman entering a public house
in Newcastle, where an old man
was seated near the fire, accosted
him with the customary salutation
of “Guide mornin.’ ” The old man
however, paid.no attention, and the
pitman repeated his salute in a
louder voice. This time his lungs
had effect: the old man raised him
selfup, and taking from a capacious
pocket a trumpet of peculiar con
struction,. put it to his ear. Our
honest pitman stood amazed, but,
after waiting with the most anxious
expectation for some moments, he
exclaimed, with a disappointed air,
“Nay, man ! it winna du : thee can
na play vvp thv lug.”
Logic. —A gentleman asked a
country clergyman for the use of
his pulpit for a young divine, a re
lation of his. ‘I really do not know,’
said the clergyman, ‘how to refuse
you; but if ihe y'oung man could
preach better than me. my congrega
tion will be dissatisfied with me af
terwards; and if he should preach
worse, l don’t think he's Jit to preach
at all.
A Bouncing Boy. —The Marshal
engaged in taking census for the
third district of St. Louis, has noted
among his interesting statistics, op T
posite the name of Chas. Ware, the
following mem.: ‘Aged S months ;
is twenty-eight inches high ; weighs
30 pounds, and talks.’ That chap
will do.
Homoeopathic Beer. —Tie a sprig
of hops to a rat’s tail —let the rat
swim through a mill-pond, then bot
tle the contents of the pond : “to be
shaken before taken.”
True Enough. — If a man were to
set out by calling everything by its
right name, he would be knocked
down before he got to the corner of
the street.
Agricultural. —A person looking
at some skeletons in an anatomical
museum the other day, asked a
young doctor present where he got
them. He replied, “Wt raised them.”
Why is a clock the most humble
thing in existence ?
Because it always holds its hands

A good story is told by an English
paper of an old lady who had re
ceived a letter from her son, a sail
or on board a merchantman, which
ran thus.:
“Have been driven into the Bay
of Fundy by a pampoosa right in
the teeth. It blowed great guns,
and we carried away the bowsprit,
a heavy sea washed overboard die
binnacle and companion ; the cap
tain lost his quadrant, and couldn’t
take an observation for fifteen
days; at last vve arrived safe at
Halifax.”
The old woman, who could not
read herself, got a neighbor to re
peat it to her three or four times,
until she had got it by heart ;
she then sallied out to tell the
story.
“O, my poor son !”
“Why, what’s the matter, mother
—I hope no mischief?” .
“O, thank God, he’s safe—but
he has been driven in the Bay of
Firmament by a bamboozle right
in the teeth—it blowed great guns,
and they carried away the pulpit—a
heavy sea washed overboard the
pinnacle of the tabernacle—the cap
tain lost his conjuration, and could
not get any salvation for fifteen
days—at last they arrived safe at
Hallelujah.”
“La, bless me, what a wonder
they wasn’t beat to atoms. Well,
1 would’nt be a sailor.
Rival Novel Writing. —A London
paper says Mr. G. P. R. James,
on his arrival in America, backed
himself, for a large sum, to write
ten novels in less time than Mr. J.
Fenimore Cooper will take to write
five. At the end of the first week,
Mr. J ames had completed four,
and had got as far as the two trav
ellers on the fine summer’s evening,
o T
in the fifth, and was still, when the
accounts left, in excellent wind.
At the same period, Mr. Cooper
had finished one only, and but just
arrived at the discovery of the
hero’s lost grandmother, in The tribe
of Esquimaux, towards the middle
of a second ; the severe weight of
the material, besides, was begin
ningtotell, and he showed visible
signs of punishment. There can
be little doubt of Mr. James’s win
ning his chivalrous wager.
O O
•‘There’s poor Hardy Lee called
again !” says Mrs. Partington, on a
trip to Boston. The wind was ahead
and the vessel had to beat up, and
the order to put up the helm “hard
a lee” had been heard through the
night. “Hardy Lee again ! I de
clare ; I should think the poor cree
tur would be completely exaspirated
with fatigue ; and I’m certain he
hasn’t eat a blessed mouthful of
anything all the while. Captain,do
call the poor creetur down, or hu
man natur can’t stand it.” There
was a tremor in her voice as indig
nant humanity found utterance.
Capture of a Boa Constrictor. —
A citizens of Liberia, in Africa,
captured a boa 19 feet in length In
hunting deep, he approached a hill,
the top of which broke in, and a
loud puffing noise, he looked down
and saw the monster. Immediate
ly he stopped up the holes—one of
them with his overcoat, and re
turning home, constructed a box 12
feet in length, in which he designed
catching it. He took with him a
fork, enlarged one of the holes,
and then stuck one end of the box
into it. He then built a large fire
in the other hole, which soon drove
the serpent into the box. She had
44young ones, a number of which
following her into the box. One of
the young ones was sold to Capt.
Forsyth, of this city, for sso—it
was 12 long. The old one was
reserved for Dr. Hall, at sl-50. —
Philadelphia Times.
An Irish attorney, not prover
bial for his probity, was robbed one
night going from Wicklow to Dub
lin. His father, next day, meeting
Baron O’Grady, said—“My lord,
have you heard of my son’s rob
bery?” “No,” replied the Baron;
“whom did he rob ?”
A teacher, once endeavoring to
make a pupil understand the nature
arxl application of a passive verb,
said—
“A passive verb is expressive of
receiving an action, as Peter is
beaten. Now what did Peter
do?”
“Well, I don’t know,” said the
boy, parsing a moment, with the
gravest countenance imaginable,
“without he hollered !”
It is full fifteen years ago that we
asked an acquaintance how he felt
while a prisoner in Egypt? but we

meat that he went home and hug

Go it Boots. —A Mrs. Boots of
Pensylvania, has left her husband
Mr. Boots, and strayed to parts
unknown. We presume that a
pair of Boots are rights and lefts.
We cannot say, however, that Mrs.
Boots is right, but there is no
