A SMALL MISTAKE.

A venerable minister in the town of
IL preac he'd sermon on the subject
Of eternal punishment. On the next
day, il was agreed among some thought,
less young men, that one of them should
go TO him, and eDdeavor to draw him
into dispute, with the design Of making
Jest of him and OF his doctrine. The
wsg accordingly went, was introduced to
the minister's study, and commenced the
conversation by saying, i believe there is
small dispute between you and me, sir;
and | thought would call this morning
ard try to settle it, 'Ah,' said the cler
gyman, 'what is it ? Why replied the
wsg, 'you say that the wicked will go in
to everlasting punishment, and I 10 not
think that they will oh IS that is all
answered the minister, Tbcre is no dis
pute between you and me. If you turn
to Matthew XIV. as, you will find that
the dispute Is between you and the
Lord Jcsus Christ, and l advise you to
go Immediately and settle it with him.

hneedote Of Sir x. Pellew, norv Lord
Ermoufh


AT Portsmouth,, several years sgo, this
gallant officer was sitting alone a, dinner,
when his servant announced to him that
an Indiaman had struck upon the beach,
and was in imIpinent danger Of going to
pieces. Sir Edward has,encd to the
shore and found the Intelligence correct,
and thtssurf running SO high, that's no boat
dared thture to board the vessel Sir
Edward, addressing himself TO the crowd
upon the beach asked If any of them
bad heart enough 70 swim off with him
to the ship! A young man stepped for
ward 10 answer the challenge and two
lines having been procured, sir Edward
end the stranger each took one, gained
the vessel, and after safely landing all on
boards were the last to return Oh shore.
On stepping upon land, the gallant admi-
raj, addressing his comrade in danger,
exclaimed, Give me your hand; you
are a iDe feilow-who ars you ?-you
must sail with me in future The young
man replied, that he was the mate Of
collier, and that he should hesitate to
quit situation so comfortable for the
chance of doubtful promotion. Sir Ed
ward oyercame his scruples and this
singular introduction added to the heroes
Of the British navy an officer unrivalled
In heroic exploits, no less a character
than capt. Jeremiah Coghlan.
