ANEcDoTE.-Soon after the worthy and distinguished
pastor of a neigbboring town, first settled, and
before he had become acquainted with many of the
people, he appointed evening meeting at the school
house of of the outer districts of the town. In
the district resided two brothers named BOND, who
rather peculiar in their manners and appearance
and wltha somewhat deaf. The preliminary services
being gone through with, the two brothers ranged
themselves up beside the minister, each with hand
to his ear, in order the readily to hear the SER
mon. The text was then announced, in the language
of Paul to Agrippa.
IL would God that not only thou. but also all that
hear me this day. both almost aud altogether, such
as am, srcept these bonds"
The coincidence of the concluding word of the text
with the name Of the two deaf auditors, struck the
audience lud.crously, that, with accord,
they burst into laugh. which was continued and
prolonged. The minds of the audience had become
so unsettled by the occurrence that the minister was
obliged to dismiss them, and save his sermon for an
other time and occasion.- Worcester Spy.

A CAPITAL Story OF Boswell AND JoHNsoN.-We

from the landlord of the inn where the photographer

Boswell ushered the doctor into the house and left

The meat removed, in the long-wi she'd for

table was cleard, and Boswell said:
''Doctor, while | eating the mutton, you

If phlade phia lawyer can beat the following lately

entering house in the night time with intent to steal.
The testimony was elcar that he had made open
ing sufficiently large to admit the upper part of his
body, and through which he protruded himself about
half way and stretching out his arm committed the
theft.
Mr. Obfusticate Brief addresses the jury:
''What an outrage Cooking Mortified and with

outrage upon your intelligence and your common
is it for the States Attorney to ask at your
hands the conviction of my client on such testimony
The law IS against entering housc-and can man
be said to enter house, when only one-hay of his
body is IN and the other half out! Gentlemen, look
to the Divine Law this point-God commanded
Adam and Eve not to eat the applet. c. the whole
of the apple. And all the commentators agree that
if they had only eaten half they would never
have been expelled from the blooming garden Of
Eden"
The jury brought in a verdict of "guil.y'' to
one-haf of his body from the waist up, and $ not
guilty as to the other half.
The Judge sentenced the guilty half to one years
Imprisonment, leaving it to the prisoners option to
have the innocent half cut off or take it along with
him."
