jruimnnnm. ’ 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 before its face, and however good its works may. be, it is always run ning itself down,—'— New Haven Rrg. 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 remember the xeplv : “1 felt like a book —bound in Morocco .” There is a man living in the back woods,who, being invited to a New Year’s dinner, ate so much bear’s meat that he went home and hug ged his wife —a thing he had never been guilty of before. 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 mistake that Boot* is left.
