SMALL PARSONS.

Our neighbor Of the Journal tells fun
ny story about little ministers, although he
says it does not follow, that because a min
lister is small in statue he is small in mind
yet, nevertheless, little minister labors I'M
der some disadvantages. One of this small
kind lately had call to settle over parish
not hundred miles from this city, and
would have accepted the call, had it not
been for the strenuous opposition of one Of
the deacons, who could not consent to his
settlement, on account of his small stature.
An Episcopal clergyman, of this class, was
one Sabbath to preach where the pulpit was
so high that he had sort Of temporary
stool, propped up with bricks, which he
mounted and commenced, announcing his
text, which was from John XIV. II, and got
as far as A little while and we shall not see
me- when down went his stool, and the min
lister disappeared
Now it so happened that one Of these
same little ministers came to the chapel,
once, at Harvard, to discourse on things di-
vine. He was an exceedingly little fellow
in stature, and of his mind we cannot depose,
but his voice was certainly small to the ta-
per of squeaking tin-trumpet. The risi-
bles of the Sophs began to be seriously af-
fected, when the gentleman made his APP
pearance along with Ex-President Quincy,
whom all knew to be large man all round.
A professor conducted the opening services,
and as the little man moved about in the
desk, many jest and litter was uttered I'M
der cover at the expense of the reverend boy.
When, therefore, he mounted the Temporal
ny stool propped up with brick, and announ-
ced his text from Matthew xiv. 81, 1t is /,
be not afraid = the righteousness of the idea
of being afraid of I" such little chap" to-
gether with his diminutive voice, was too
much for the students, and they burst into
roar of laughter, while more than one Of
the professors furtively united in the chorus.

THE SPIDER AND THE FLY.

SLICK, in his Fables, says there are few
things resembling each other more in natur'
than an old, cunning and INSCRIPTIONS law
yer and spider.
He weaves his web in corner with no
light behind to show the thread of his net,
but in shade like, and there he waits in
his office to receive visitors. A buzzin',
buzzin', thoughtless fly, thinkin of nothin'
but his beautiful wings and well-made legs,
and rather near-sighted, withal, comes stum-
bin head over heels into the net
81 beg your pardon" says the fly, 81 re-
ally didn't see this net work of yours; the
weather is foggy and the streets so confoun-
ded dark, they ought to burn gas here all
day. I'm afraid I've done mischief"
"Not at all, says the spider, bowling. 81
guess it's all my fault: reckon l had ought
to have hung lamp out but pray don't
move, or you may do damage. Allow me
to assist you. And he then ties one leg,
and then the other, and then furls up both
wings, and has him as fast as Gibraltar.
"Now," says the spider, "my good friend,
"a phrase Teller always uses when he's a.
goin' to be tricky,) Pm afeerd you've hurt
yourself considerable sum / must bleed

"Oh, yes you do, my dear friend" and
he gets ready for the operation.

fly, "and will reward you literally"

ders Of the Central Road are now asked
to take stock to the amount of S25 900;
and we embrace this occasion TO extend
the invitation to you, and most cordially to
recommend its acceptance. The Northern
New York road is lis miles in length,
and the estimated cost of first class road,
of superior capacity for transportation, ex-
elusive Of road furniture, is 81 800 ,OOO--
or barely $4,000 per mile. 1t will strike
the lowest point of safe navigation from
all the large Northern lakes, and with the
Vermont Central and other connecting
roads, form line of uninterrupted railroad
transportation to Boston, shorter by two
hundred miles than the present line from
Buffalo to Boston, and shorter by about
one hundred and sixty miles than the line
of transportation by railroad or canal, and
the North River, from Buffalo to New York.
Taking into view the immense resources
for freight, not only in the iron regions
of Northern New York, but in all the terri
tory bordering upon the Lakes from On
tario to Superior, and theSextraordinary ia
cilities for constructing al first class road,
at so moderate a cost-we entertain no doubt
that the capital will prove perfectly safe

of subscription per cent. interest is to be
paid upon the stock until the road is COM
pleted, and the amount of dividends ofprofts
is unlimited by the charter. We recon-
mend subscriptions as valuable invest
ment to stockholders of the Central road,
both from direct profit from the money in
vested and for the more indirect yet GER
tain benefit to be derived by the Central
road through its position in railroad line
which is destined to be one of the most
important in the Union.
In conclusion, allow us to remark, that
our expectations as to the importance of
the Central road, as to its advantages, and
the value of the stock, have been constant
ly strengthened as the work has advanced,
and we renewedly commend it to your con-
fidence and vigorous support.

A HAPPY MEETING.

SOME months since long account was
published in many of the papers, of a young
man who was living in the vicinity of Wor-
cester, Mass, who was either lost or stolen
from his parents nearly 80 years ago, when
he was only three or four years of age
whose only recollection was that he was la
ken from a large and thickly settled place,
(Albany, as he has always supposed, and
carried he knew not whither-that after
strolling through the country some years
with company of vagrant Indians or Ne
groes, with whom he suffered almost incred-
IDLE notwithstanding on one occasion mar
rowly escaped being murdered by one Of
their number-he finally escaped from them
at Providence, r. l., and after living in one
place and another, located in a New Eng
land village, Tin Grafton, Mass.) where he
was married about ten years ago, and has
since resided. He has for many years called
himself and been known by the name of
Abraham Vest.
A correspondent of the Albany Evening
Journal says That the above account fell
into the hands of an aged couple in the town
of Ontario, Wayne county, N. Y, who,
having lost two children about the period
mentioned, felt peculiar interest in this
case and the Postmasters of Ontario and
the New England village opened cores
pondence on the subject The result of it
is, that the friends of Mr.. Vest (who is poor
contributed the means, and he has just been
out to see his supposed parents.
Has journey UaS successful! The mo-
ment the mother saw her long lost son, she
tainted. But the more cautious son, anx
ious to ascertain to a certainty whether these
were indeed his parents, required unmistak
able proofs. The mother, with mother:
memory, described the mark upon his back
and the scar of the scald upon his foot. He
could no longer doubt, and the scene tina
followed may be better imagined than de
scribed. The parents, who supposed them
selves childless, rejoiced over the " son tina
was found" and the fatted calf was indeed
killed. The son, who supposed himself al
orphan, rejoiced to find his parents, even ii
their old age. He also ascertained that hi
real name was JOHN nj. WILSON, and hi
age about thirty-four years.
AT the time Of the separation of the pa
rents and children (for sister yet remain
unfound) the father was somewhat dissipa
ted, and this was probably one cause of tn
calamity. The son has for many years beer
a highly respectable and useful member o
the Baptist church. How was his heart re
joiced to find both his parents pious mem
bers of the same communion The write
saw and read letter from the mother
which the son was carrying to his wife--th
new daughter-in-law 1t was most touch
ing and ahectionate epistle from one who
after the frosts of nearly sixty winters ha
passed over her, had again found new oh
jects of affection. The only thing wantin
to fill their cup of happiness is, the restore
ton of the long-lost daughter. 1t is the in
tention of Mr.. Vest, alas Mr.. Wilson, t

tic history.-Altany Journal

Old King Polk had funny old joke,
And funny old joke had he;
He called Santa Anna, away down in Havana,
And he called for his editors three.
And every editor he had fine paper,
And very fine paper had he.
Then puff, puff, puff goes Richie,
And Forney doth agree, tweed.o twce,
Tweedle twee, how they all agree!
For there's nought SO compare

Old King Polk had queer old Joke,
And queer old joke had he

And he called for his generals three.
And every general he had q commission,

Then bolt went Benton, and squat went Gushing,
And Pillow did agree, tweedle twee,
Such bravery you never did see
For there's nought IS compare
With King Polk and his generals three.
Old King Polk elected in joke,
But very sad joke proved he;
He shed the peoples blood, and bartcred their good,
To establish his reign do you see
And the people swore they would have

In my last annual report it was stated
that more than $4,000 shares were Sc
cured though at that time much fewer
number had been paid upon. The first
assessment has been paid upon lS,Oe2
shares, and since May Goth upon others;
besides these are the shares which are to
be issued in. payment for chairs and spikes
to be used in completing the supeTstruc--
ture of the road.
There are also some. shares which are.
to be paid by an offset of land damages
Some shares have not been paid. upon
at all. The parties have. been notified
that they will be sold unless the assess
ments due shall be paid forthwith. 1t is
proposed that these shares be sold in July
next so far, at least, as the parties re-
side in Massachusetts, the delinquent shares
in Vermont will be sold subsequently,
Nearly every stakeholder in Massachu-
sets who has paid his first assessment
has paid other assessments, some more
and some less and two-thirds, at least,
of the deficit, Carried 10 suspense ac-
count,) occasioned by the sale of delin-
quent stock, will be paid in short time,
On the whole, the result will be that
about two millions of capital Will be pad
in, upon the stock already subscribed, II
the subscribers in Vermont pay the amount
due from them. Mghty-fye per cent, has
already been assessed, and the balance
will be called in during the months Of
June and August.
II should be observed, that of the amount
of assessments due and unpaid from stock
holders, large proportion will be settled
by the issue of stock to contractors for work
upon the road, and for equipment for the
use of the road, which is delivered from
time to time full paid, as the work pro-
crosses.
