lEMPLEToN.-A good joke is told of
this distinguished vocalist, which happened
the fIrst night he arrived in town. He
came over from Boston in the day train,
and the cars, unfortunately for him, did
not arrive until nearly eight o'clock in the
evening, the hour announced for him to ap-
pear at the Female Academy. On landing
he gave directions to the hackman to take
him to the next hotel in town. He was
forthwith landed at the Delevan House In
a minute more he was found in his room,
at his toilet. He had then only fifteen min :
utes to spare, no tea, and but slight din
ner at Springfield as a matter Of course, he
was somewhat fatigued and hungry. But
anything to eat was out Of the question
He wanted some stimulus to rouse his
wearied and hungry body, and accordingly
rung the bell.
" Bring me bottle of Sherry" said
the vocalist in a very impatient tone.
7" Havn't got any sir" replied the young
man with the white apron" @@a
/" A glass of brandy and water," ex-
claimed the still more impatient Temple
ton.
:" Amt gotayn brandy, sir" responded
John.
Fora moment he was lost: at last he ex-
claimed in voice of great tribulation,

:" No, sir" cody replied the waiter,
