THE LONDON CoAcH.-One bright
day, last June, one Of the London
coaches ratified at an amazing rate down
the main street of q garrison town, and
with sudden jerk which threw the
smoking horses on their launches;
pulled up at the door Of the Waterloo
Hotel. A beautiful sight it is--a fine
well-appointcd coach, of what we must
now call the ancient fashion, its smart
driver, brilliant harness, and thorough
bred team. Then it is spectacle
pleasing to gods and men-the know
ing and instantaneous manner in which
the grooms perform their work in lead
ing off the horses, and putting fresh
ones to-the rapid diving for carpet
bags and portmanteaus into the various
boots and luggage notes.-the stepping
down or out las the case may be- OF the
gers--the tip to the coachman-
the touch Of the hat in return-the re-
mounting of that functionary into his
chair of honor--the chick, chick! with
which he hints to the paving grays he
is ready for a start; and finally, they
roll of into dim distance the splendid
vehicle, watched by TIE crowd that
have gathered round it, till it is lost
from their sight. A steam coach with
its disgusting, suffering, shapeless,
lifeless engine, ought to be ashamedo oft
self, and probably wouldblush for IFS APP
pearance, if it were not for the quanti-
ty of brass that goes into its compost
ton. Blackwood

same number of steps to the left, with
view ofletting the gentleman nass,
which of course brought them f .
face. Another look of apology from
the gentleman, and back again 10 his
former position, which motion was ST.
multaneously performed by the lady.
Thus they kept chasseing from RICH.
to left, with the vain hope Of getting
out of each others way, but getting
into it at every step. The modest
looking lady al length looked up from
under her black veil, and the clerical
looking gentleman looking gentle
man looked down from underhis broad
brimmed hat. "Sir," said she, "you
may intend this for a .protracted meet
ing, but its no use--I don't belong to
the church!'' The Clerical looking
gentleman remained as stationary as a
lamp-post for the space Of some min
utes, and the lady passed on.

THE GREEN ROOM.

SHAM CHAMPAGNE.--Bunn's droll
little farce of "My Neighbors Wife,
was to be performed one evening as a
irst piece. The prompior generally
marks in the "propertly list" of"My
Neighbours Wife," as a usual direction
10 the property man, "7hree bottles Of
real Champagne" On this occasion
the property man went to the promp-
ter for four dollars and a-half stating
that the article required could be OBJ
tanned for no less. The promter sent
the property man TO the stage manager,
he sent him to the treasurer; the treas
urer told him 10 90 to the devil Busi-
ness, bad, weather wretched, house in
debt, papers abusive, stars unattractive,
and treat actors to champagne. The
manager stamped the ground, clenched
his fist, looked red fire and pink foil
at the property man, and energetically
remarked that he would see them des-
patced TO the warmest vicinity of lin

mauager, who was Frenehman, and
'unaecustomed to- theatrical business,

QUEEN ELIZABETH AND THE FoUR
EvANGELIsTs.- GU cen Elizabeth, on
the morning Of her coronation, agreea-
bly, to the CUSTOM of releasing prison
ers at an inauguration, went to the chap
ell, and in the great chamber, one of
her courtiers, who was well known to
her, presented her with petition, and
before number of courtiers besonght
her-"That how this good time there
might be four of five prisoners more
rcleased--those were the four evan
gelists and the apostle Paul, who had
been long shut up in an unknown
tongue, as it were in a prison, so that
they could not converse with common
people," The Green answered, very
gravely, "That it was best first to en-
quire of them whether they would be
released or no."

TURKISH OPINION OF AMERICANS
In the volume recently published by
the Rev. Justin Perkins, giving an ac-
count Of his residence in Persia, among
the HISTORIANS, we find the following
anecdotc:--
We travelled six hours, and en-
camped mile before reaching the viii
lage of Cherchee, which contains about
fifty Turkish families. Towards the
close Of our ride we LETT the stream, and
gradually rose until we came again in
to the region of snow. There, how
ever, it was rapidly melting, and the
pastures were becoming green. When
| sent our servant to the village for
milk; the villagers called out to him as
he approached and made his request,
"No you have come here with Moscovy
Russian, go off," But when he told
them that / was an American gentle
man, they all exclaimed, ''You are very
welcomed" and an old gentleman gave
him a gallon of milk for fourpence.
The Russians are detested in both Fur
key and Persia. Both countries have,
within few years, groaned under the
devastations of Russian armies. Where
as, Americans are regarded by all class
es in these countries-even by those
who have so vague notion of the New
World as TO suppose il to be situated
in the skies, as "a nation Of philan-
May America establish
its claims to that high character by
the rich blessings Of light,
knowledge and salvation over all the
world.

When half grown they are serious,
sober women.-They dance and sing,
and smile, and simper methodically.
They walk on stills, or dance with egf-
dent constraint, and by-and-by we ex-
pect they will not dance at all. We
expect soon TO see the little beings,
with eyes fixed alone on their
neighbours deficiencies. All how
wrong to check the buoyancy, the ex-
liberation, the joyous outbreak of these
young creatures whether it be in romp-
ing, or running, ordancing, and wheth-
the dancing be to the music Of their
own voices, Of the piano, Of the violin,
of the harp, or the tabret, or Of Ger
man band, if providentially they might
pick one up for love or money.

| The manager. then directed the prop
erty man to get three champagne bot
ties, and buy some sedlitz powders;
to fill the bottles with water and mix
in a. few of the papers of one cole. /,
to deposite the other powders in the
champagne glasses; cork up the bottles
tightly and wire them; and. so serve UP
the patent champagne TO "My Neigh
boris Wife,"
The thing was done precisely as or
dered; and sure enough the corks pop
ped and the liquor foamed up in the
glasses exactly like the real article.
The hands of the audience were i'm
mediately at work applauding the cap
ital acting Of the champagne corks,
which went off as natural as life. The
eyes of the actors and actresses danced
in. their heads as they snapped mp the
glasses and tossed them off-but, o
Temperance! what a stare each gave
the other the moment after! TWAS no
use to make a07y faces aboutit, howevr;
they were in for it, and had TO act it
out; and it was also necessaryto drink
several more glasses Of the new cham
payne. They bore it with Thespian
fortitude and resignation, and kept the
scene going as lively as if all was right.
The audience really thought the wine
was "true brand" and applanded as an
audience generally will at seeing treat

lively over their champagne in the
farce. Never was .jeu de theatre
more successful with an audience; but
how laughable it would have been had

THE LAWYER AND THE DEVIL; or
II Salt an Chancery.-It seems that
"once upon time" a person. who was
not satisfied with his lot in life, sought
an interview with the devil, for the
purpose of ascertaining whether he
conld not make all arrangement which
would improve his circumstances.
His Satanic Majesty was everything
that was oblIging," and soon the fol-
lowing bargain was struck The devil
agreed, for the term of ten years, to
allow his client "the full swing" of this
world. He was TO do precisely as he
pleased, andhave what he pleased, upon
condition, that at the end of the term
he was to surrender himself as the alb
solnte property of the devil, to be-
dealt with as the devil might please.
Well, time passed on. the person en-
ployed himself to "the top of his BENT"
swearing purple and fine linen," &c.,
until the sands Of the tenth year had
well nigh run out. Then he becomes
uneasy, and he wentto his friend the
devil, TO ascertain If he could not get
release from his bargain, or at least
effect compromise. Much to his dis
may he found his friend utterly i'm
practicable. Shylock-like, he claimed
the penalty of '.he bond, and turned
deaf ear to his clients entreaties.
In despair the person sought law
yer and stated his case-after which
he, with his legal friend, repaired TO
the quarters of the devil and made sun
dry propositions TO him, all OF which
were rejected. At last. the lawyer. in
a passion, shook his fist in the devils
face and said TO him, "club.footed,
horn-headed, long-taiicd imp of dark
ness, I've got you now: if you dom.
accept the last proposition | made TO
you; FHput you in Chancery, sir
yes, sir, IN put yod an Cdancsry,
and then we'll see when you will get
out" The devil turned as white as a
sheet-his tail became as timber as a
rag-and in trembling voice he said,
"raiher than gointo any Chancery,
sir, I'll give the man up-take him, my
good sir, and do what you please with
him. IN. o. Pic.
