A PLEASANT VALEDICTION.—Before the Bishop of
New Zealand departed, Sidney Smith, in taking leave af-
fected to impress upon his friend the dangers of his minion.
" You will find," he said, "in preaching to cannibals, that
their attention, instead of being occupied by the spirit, will
be concentrated on the flesh; far I am told that they never
breakfast without a cold missionary on the sideboard."' In
shaking hands with the new prelate, as he was leaving the
house, the rev. wit added, " Good bye. We shall never meet
again ; but let us hope that you may thoroughly disagree
with the aavaiie who eats you."—Family Jo: Miller, a draw-I
