ErcessiUe Pohteness.--Mr. Rowland
Hill was always annoyed when there hap
pened 10 be any noise in the chapel,o when
any thing occurred to divert the attention OF
his hearers from what he was saying. On
one occasion, about three years before his
death, he was preaching to one of the most
crowded congregations that ever assembled

he observed great commotion in the gale.
ry. For time he took no notice Of it, but
finding it increasing, he paused in his SER
mon, and looking at the direction in which
the confusion prevailed, he exclaimed,-
e" What's the matter thereI Tho Devil
seems to have got among you !" A plain
country looking man Immediately started
to his feet and addressing Mr.. Hill. in re-
ply, said, " No, sir, it arn't the Devil as is
doing on it; it's lady wot is tainted and
she's fat un, sir, as don't seem likely to
come too again in hurry" Oh! that's
it, lis it," observed Mr.. Hill, drawing his
hand across his chin; "then beg the lady's
pardon, and the DeUiPs too"

SCENE IN THE WEST.

An Illinois paper tells the the following
amusing story of scene that occurred du-
ring the sitting of one of the Illinois Cir
cult Courts
"a constable who had lately been induc-
ted into office, was in attendance on the
court and was ordered by the judge to call
John Bell and Elizabeth Bell. He imme-
diately began at the top of his lungs, "JOhn
Bell and Elizabeth BeI;"" one at time,"
said the judge.
"One at time, one at time, ono at
time" shouted the constable.
"Now you've done it," exclaimed the
Judge out of patience.
"Now you've done il, now you've done
it, now you've done IT," yelled the consta-
bic. There was no standing this, and court
bar and bystanders broke out in hearty
laugh 10 the perfect surprise and dismay OF
the astonished constable.

A Welch psrsOn preaching from the text
"Love one another" told his congregation
that in kind respectful treatment to our fell
low creatures we were inferior to the brute
creation. As an illustration of the truth of
this remark, he quoted an instance of two
goats in his own parish that once met upon
bridge so very narrow that they could
not pass without one thrusting the other off
into the river. "And," continued he show
do you think they acted Why, will
tell you. One goat laid himself down, and
let the other leap over him. All ! beloved.
let us live like goats"

out in the west between the Sioux and Chippewa
tribes. From letter dated at Fort Smelling, July TO-
we learn that these two tribes have had fights on
two different points on the St Croix, and also above
