There is a cobbler in London, over whose door is the
following notice :—" Shews Maid and Men-dead here."
A POOR POET'S Wtsli.—" Oh ! that a sovereign, like
a piece of scandal, would grow bigger every time it cir-
culated !"
A CONUNDRUM FOR THE SPORTING SEASON. —Q.
Why is a merry fellow like a bad shot ? A. Because he is
the boy to keep the game alive.
SIR THOMAS LAWRENCE.—Sir Thos. Lawrence wrote
thus to his sister, under the date of 26th of Dec., 1829 :
"On the 6th of January I have sacredly pledged myself to
be with you, and to that all circumstances shall bend."
Alas ! this was too bold a word for man, without any re-
ference to the divine permission. On that very 6th of
January, 1830, he was seized with mortal illness, and died
on the day following.—Poynder's Literary Extracts.
FINE WRITING.—HER MAJESTY OWN SISTER TO
THE MOON.—The editor of the Fleetwood Chronicle, in
describing the landing of her Majesty at that port, with a
pen charged with ink of the most cerulean blue, writhed
thus :—" At this moment the chaste and lovely Queen of
night came forth from her previous veil of clouds to greet
her sister sovereign, and the whole scene, without excep-
tion, was one of the most beautiful we have ever beheld."
DIRTY 1847 !—ln connexion with the building of so
many crack public wash-houses, how shall we reconcile
the fact that the six months' consumption of soap in 1847
is seven millions of pounds less than that of six months
ih 1845 ? Is it the washing in pure water that keeps the
dirt at bay ? or do they bottle up soap suds, as a saving of
soap ? How will ministers and their reforming, purify-
ing, and cleansing advocates get clean out of this dilemma,
in proving the popular advantages of free trade and the
improved state of the people ?
FRUIT STORING.—At the present season of the year,
the most important duty of the fruit grower is the gather-
ing and storing of his crop, so as to preserve it in perfec-
tion to the latest period possible. The directions regard-
ing the fruit room, contained in the Botanic Garden and
Fruitist, for the present month, are too copious for giving
at length. The following ideas from them will, however,
be useful to many of our readers. The room should oc-
cupy a northern aspect, be kept dark, and have a low
uniform temperature. Its shelves should be of scentless
wood, and those for Flemish Pears inclosed. Apples and
Pears may be kept in perfection between layers of sand ;
and still better, if first wrapped in paper. Or, wrapped
in paper, and enclosed in earthen jars, with due regard to
temperature, .&c., they keep long without shrinking.
RISE OF A MANUFACTURING TOWN.—Sixty years ago,
Huddersfiield, now in the centre of the fancy manufacture
of England, was a miserable village. The houses were
poor and scattered, the streets narrow, crooked, and dirty
—the people ignorant, and wild in their manners almost
to savagery. Around them stretched the black moorlands,
unreclaimed by the plough or the spade ; and the sides of
noble hills were covered with shaggy moss, brambles, and
wiry creepers, or coloured in the appointed seasons with
the golden gorse and the purple heather. And how short
was to be the intervening period ! Already in this wild
people were deposited the seeds of a glorious manufactur-
ing and historical unfolding. Sixty years have changed
the face of this vast district ; for during that time heads
and hands have been at work, conquering the wild domi-
nion of nature, and making all her elements serve them.
Thus the river has been converted into artificial beds, and
the waters arrested in their course by weirs, and compelled
to turn the wheels of the hundreds of factories which are
built upon the river's banks. The savage moorland has
been cultivated and parcelled into corn-fields and pastures.
The hills, in many eases, WaVe, even id their 21.:0hy SUM,
mits, with rich herbage ; and from the wildest glens and
ravines rise the chimneys of noble factories, sending their
black smoke through the green foliage of the trees; every
one of them the centre of a little working community.
Thus Huddersfield has grown an important town, and,
what is more, she has fostered other towns and villages in
her immediate neighbourhood, and made them also im-
portant, so that, within six miles of her, there are some
hundred and thirty thousand souls engaged in manufac-
tures, and in the commerce to which those manufactures
gave birtb.—Bradford Observer.
INDULGENCE FOR SINS.—I observed over the door Of
almost every church, in large white letters on a bla, ck
ground, the words "Indulgentia plenarie perpetuo
vivis et defunctis." This startling announcement is ge-
nerally upon a board, like a sign over an hotel, declaring
what sort of entertainment is to be found within. There
seems to be an absolute rivalry upon the subject. In
some we find it placed more prominently than in others ;
while it is not forgotten, if the letters became defaced, to
have them carefully renewed. What an extraordinary an-
nouncement in a Christian temple—" the utmost liberty
for the living and the dead !" No doubt, this subversion
of the principles of Christianity drives only at one object
—the replenishing of the coffers of the church. It is the
prostitution of religion for the purposes of gain, and upon
a subject which is sure to have no lack of customers, as
conscience will urge millions to the absolving shrine, and
affection call as many to purge the ashes of their dead.
The words are on St. Peter's, and thus are stamped with
all the authority of the Vatican. If the announcement is
fully acted on the question may be well asked, what are
its effects ? Immorality and religion must, I conceive, be
the inevitable result. If a man under the influence of
sin, or committing actual crime, knows where he may

TILE SCRIPTURES.—Sent from heaven, but little tehoughe
prigted book, th
of—locked up in that trite small -
-lies the germ of moral renovation—the only secreßible
making base spirits noble, and fallen spirits puree. Roer
ceived into the confiding heart, and developed in conge:
nial affections, it comes forth in all the wonderful varieties
of vital Christianity ; and according as the recipients dis-
position is energy or mildness, activity or contemplation,
it creates a bold reformer or a benign philanthropist—a
valiant worker, or a far-seeing thinker. In bolts that melt
as well as burn, it flashes from Luther's surcharged spirit;
and in comprehensive kindliness spreads its warm atmos-
phere round Melancthon's loving nature. In streams of
fervour and fiery earnestness, it follows Zuingle's smoking
path, and in a halo of excessive brightness encircles Cal-
vin's awful brow. In impulses of fond beneficence it
tingle's in Howard's restless feet, and in ablaze of in-
door welcome Cowper's friends. But whether its mani-
festations he the more beauteous,. or the more majestic,
