Clerical Wit.

The following anecdote of Bishop MDu
tain. the frs, bishop of the English church
in Canada, and father Of the prese n, Lord
Bishop, Of Montreal. was related 10 US ic.
Gently by clergyman, who was well uc-
quainted with the worthy prelate, and who
assures Us OF its perfect authenticity. It
is possible that it may have been in print
before. but we do not remember TO have
seen it. and as it is certainly very happy
example Of neat repartee turned TO pru.
den, and profitable account, we venture 10
tell the story as il was told to US. Shortly
after the diocese of Mon,rea! was created,
Mr.. Mountain, then young man, was
holding the office Of private chaPl ain TO the
Archbishop of Canterbury. His grace
whose duty it was 10 choose an incumbent
of the new dioces. was endeavoring to Sc.
lect the most suitable person for the office,
but, being at loss TO make an election
from large number of worthy aspirants,
a, length applied &c his chaplain for coun-
sci. lndecd,' replied The young clergy
man, ~ can hardly presume TO advise
your grace in so waighty matter ; but
as | have high opinion Of your grace's
faith, l do moi doubt that if you should
say to this Mountain be thou removed into
yonder Sea. it would obey you" The
archbishop was pleased with the wit of his
adviser, end as the applicant was in all
respects fit person to receive the mi;re,
he was forthwith appointed. Post.

carelessness. A loss is loss, and rob-

prove,nents he has made, he has inGcnIed

mace he proposes to cast the statue. A wri'

"Mr. Mills has horse, 1--WE mean live

Reading,

The teachers Of Albany have formed a
reading club for mutual edifica,ion and
entertainment. Among the readers, We
observe the names Of Green, Gornam,
Adams, Buckley, Raymon4 Anthony and
Cutler. We rejoice 10 see more attention
given 10 reading than formerly, by those
whose business it is TO teach. While
every body brought up in our country can
read. scarce one in hundred can read
vcN. Excellence in reading is quite as
difficult Of attainment as excellence in
singing, and its practical use is much more
diversified and important. We are plea,ed
therefore TO see reading more attended 10

people. A good reader can now draw an

Murder will Out.

A horrible affair occurred near Ian 3ig
Michigan, recently, the circumstances ol
which the " Expounder" of that place re-
laies as follows: A man named Jenny
who resided alone, having no family, d:ed
suddenly in May last. There was a strong
reason TO believe he was poisoned, but sus.
picion rested on no one in particular. A
few weeks ago a revival of religion took
place in The neishborhood, and a young
man became consciepce-slricken and con.
lessed the murder. He also implicated his
own father. He says his father directed
him to purchase arsenic, and gave him the
money. One day when Jenny was from
home, The Spinnings wen, to Jenny's house
and while the father kept watch outside.
the son wen, in and sprnkled the arsenic
on all the food he could find. Jenny took
sick in few days alter and died. The
young man further stated lha, his father
had previously proposed % him the MIR
der OF Jenny IN another manner, but. from
the enormi,y Of the proposed plan, he had
refused. Il appeared also that; a most Bit
Ter quarrel had for long time existed be.
