FINDING a SEAT IN CHURcH.-We re-
member to have heard of an instance in
which whole congregation was discon-
certed, and an elegant discourse very near
being spoiled, thus: A strange gentleman,
respectable, but of rather rough plebian
appearance, entered a pewed church dur
ing the performance of service. Passing
up an aisle, and seeing no pews opened
for his reception, nothing disturbed or
abashed, he retired, shoudered block of
wood, re-entered. and while doors were
flying open. placed his block in the centre
of the aisle, seated himself thereon with
imperturbable self-possession and then,
facing the minister, gave him marked, but
very annoying attention to the close of his
discourse, as though there had not been
another auditor there; and when service
was over, like an honest man. he deliber-
ately took up his block again, and returned
1t to It's proper place.

AMUSING ANECDoTE.-The Archbishop
of Dublin tells us of horseman, who
having lost his way, made complete cir

seeing the marks of horses hoofs, and
never dreaming that they were those of
his own beast, he reioiced and said, This
at least shows me that am in some track

signs of travel were doubled, and he said,
Now, surely | am i'll beaten way : and
with the conclusion of every round, the

be in some we'll frequented thoroughfare,

was all the while riding after his horses

Fit for q Lawyer.

An old lady walked into lawyers Of
fee lately, when the following converse
ton took place
Lady.-Squire, | called to see if you
would like to take this boy and make a
lawyer of him.
Lawyer.-T'he boy appears too young,
madam. How old is he
Lady.-Seven years, sir.
Lawyer.-He is TOO young--decidedly
too young. Have you no boys older?
Oh yes, sir, | have several but we
have concluded to make farmers Of the
others. | told my man | thought this
feller would make first rate lawyer, and
called to see if you would take him.
Lawyer.-No madam he is too young
yet to commence the study of the profess
sion. But why do you think this boy so
much better calculated for lawyer than
your other sons?
Lady.-Why, you see, sir, he is just
seven years old to-day when he was
only five he'd lie like all nature; when he
got to six, he was saucy and impudent as
any critter could be, and now he'll steal
everything he can lay his hands on.

Oh! long TO be, dear mother,
On the cool and fragrant grass,
With the calm blue sky above nay head
And the sladowy clouds that pass
And want the bright, bright sunshine
All around my bed:
viii close my eyes, and God viii think,
fonr little boy is dead
Then Christ viii send an angel
TO take Inc up to him;
lie will bear me, slow aud steadily,
Far through the ether dim.
lie will gently, gently lay me,
Close TO the SaViour's side,
And when I'm sure we're in Heaven,
My eyes I'll open wide
And I'll look umong the angels
That stand about the throne,
Till find my sister Mary,
For know she must be one
And when find her mother,
We viii go away alone,
And win tell how we've mourned
All the while she has been gone
Oh | shall be delighted
To hear her speak again;
Though know she'll 'er return TO US
TO ask her would be vain!
so II put my arms around,
And look into her eyes;
And remember all say TO her.
And all her sweet replies
And then I'll ask the angel
TO take me back to you
He'll bear me slow aud steadily
Down through the ether blue
And you ii only think, dear mother,
have been out 10 play,
And have gone to sleep beneath tree,
This su!lry summer day.

Germany my Fatherland!
Pm thinking of thee now
While all the light of other days

I'm roaming through the forests old,
Among thy monarch pine,
And now my bark goes bounding DER
My own dear native Rhine
But ah its all boyish dream,
From which wake to weep,
And find myself an orphan child
Far o'er the chainless deep.
Germany! Germany!
The joys of life are DER;
Germany Germany!
see thy hills no more
Germany the tyrant's chain
Has bound thy bleeding form
Thy fearless sons are swept away
Amid the battles storm
There's blood upon thy Yine-clad plains,
There re waIiIugs IN the air
And dark foes lie in wait for thee,
Like tiger in his lair;
Yet Germany one struggle more
One more, my native land
A God Of Justice reigns above,
And smiles upon thy band
Germany! Germany!
The day has come for thee
Germany Germany
Thy sons shall yet be free

Hunting Husbands.

correspondent of the Cleveland Her
aid, noticing the advertisement of the four
girls of Troy for husbands, is out upon
the practice, and gives the following in
stance as a warning to young girls in
hurry; Some twenty years since
lady, who, as it afterwards appeared, was
mistress of boarding school, sent forth an
advertisement for husband. She found
no difficulty in obtaining one and for
short period all appeared to 60 on smoothly
with the newly married pair, who were,
on an eventiul morning, partaking of
comfortable breakfast, when stranger
presented himself at the house, professedly
10 make the needlul inquiries preparatory
to placing i daughter al the school. He
was, of course, introduced into the break
fast room, when he announced himself as
police officer, at the same moment pro-
ducing warrant for the apprehension of
the lady's newly-gotten husband on
charge of murder. TO the foul crime OF
seduction he had added that of taking the
life of his victim, whom he decoycd into
