there is no use in your tea being so devil-

I'll let vou know that don't ax you TOT any other man how much sugar shall put in my tea-~--old rum-heaa., At this Israel let drive plate at her head. She returned the salute with cup of hot tea--and the parties clenched. Eliza slipped from his hands, sprang to the other side of the table, and kept him at bay by kurling at him, first the teapot--then the sugar bowl-then ihe saucer ofapple sauce, and then a plate of craekers--all the time (as the husband declared( screaming I fire murder, watch ? tmurder, fire, watchH and. watch, fire--murder!'

 of the ughcst tempered women thar ever

 give me no peace night nor day. Il bore it
 and bore2it for a hong time, and last night,
 before we begun the scrape, I told her.

 The prisoner remarked. as he passed the

 TNe WesE--The snpposition that a
 tame, jejune, worn out preacher, unfit for
 the east. oiH do for the people of the west
 is sHpremely ridiculous. In the old organ Fized congregations of the east, which have
 the moral momentum of a century ;o carry them forWard,'a q weak minister may stand at the helm. Not so in the west. Here,a congregation of diverse creeds, habits, and fprejudicea are 10 b8 drawHs together, and fheh .undeF a steady, uniform, moral infu-
 ence Ky no childlike power. Unless a
 preacher has mind in which he can elab-.
 crate moving thoughts and clothe these thoughts witll an attractive dress, his infu- ence will be almost wasted. The people of the west, if not educated in the schools, are educated by contact with men and things. The west is filled by the entcrpri- sing from alt parts ofthe globe. Dulness and timidty seldom emigrate. No where on the globe can four milli ons be found who thisk for themseloes, and fearlcssly act out their thoughts, more fully than the four millions of the !. vallcy.' To gain their at
 tention preacher must understand human
 nature. He mus be able to draw vivid it., land from the universe of matter and mind
 To convince he must furnish evidence
 strong and popular. He must have logic,
 and 1T he expects his hearers to follow bis premises to his conclusions, he must have. l logic on fire. His arguments anst be in-
 stinct win life and epsoiiop, or they will
 produce little impression. The preacher
 who would be extensively useful in the west,
 would move mind in any part of the globe. < S@ la'; sNf Cincinsat; Journal. ---+sf@ B. " 1 4 sensible Horse.-We do not think the records of instinct ever contained a more, extraordinary instance than that we are now about to relate. and for the truth whereof we pledge ourselves. A few days since, MT. J.aLanc. of Fascomb, in Gloucester-i shire, on bis return home, turned his horse into q field in which it had been accustom-i ed to graze. A few days before this hel had been shod all fours, but unluckily had been pihched in the shoeing of one foot Tn ibe morning, Mr., Lane missed the horse, and caused an active search to be made in; tho vicinity, when the following singular
 circumstances transpired: The animal. as' it may be supposed. feeling lame, made his way out of the field, by unhanging the gate with his mouth, and went straight to the same farrier's shop. distance of a mile and half The farricr had no sooner O. |
