Remarkable ADeodote.

The particulars Of the following very
striking incident were lately told US by a
friend, as fact falling within the range Of
his personal knowledge and having the
most perfect confidence in his yeracty, we
sGruple not TO give. it as such to our readers:
In seaport town, down on the west
coast of England, there was a notice given
Of sermon to be preached one Sunday
evening, in dissenting chapel there. The
preacher was a man of great celebrity in
his calling and that circumstance, togelh
er with the pions object OF the discourse
to enforce the duty Of the strict observance
of the Sabbath-atracted an oyernowlnr
audience. After the usual predatory prayer
and hymn of praise, the preacher gave out
the text, aud was about to proceed with his
sermon, when he suddenly paused, leaned
his head on the pulpit, and remained silent
for i few moments. Ii was imagined that
he had become indisposcd but he soon re-
covered himself and, addressing the con-
gregatlon, said that before entering upon
his discourse. he begged to narrate TO them
4 1 !
years, SAID he. "since was last within
this place OF worship ana the occasion
vas as many here may probably remember,
the very same as that which has now BROUGHT
Us together. Amongst those who came
hitler that evening, were three dissoute
| young men, who came here notfgaaly with
tie intention Of insulting and hooking the
var oh q lint III =,
their pockets to throw at him as he stood
in the pulpit. Accordingly they had not
listened long to the discourse, when one Of
them said impalienly Y. " Why need we lis.
ten any longer to the blockhead throw p
Bat the second stopped him, saying" Let
us first see what he makes Of this point "
The curiosity of the latter was no sooner
satisfied, than he, too, said" Ay, confound
him, it is on " as expected throw now =
But here the third nterposel aud said TIM,
it would be better altogether to give up the
design which had brought them there. At
this remark his Two associates took offence,
and left the church, while he himself re,
NAMED to the end. "Now mark, my brelh-
ren," continued the preacher, with much
emotion, " what were afterwards the lates
of these young men The first was hang
ed many years ago at l'yburn, for the crime
Of forgery; the second is now Iylag under
sentence of death for murder in he Jail il
this city. The third, my brethren" and

drops from his brow" The third, m,

Dungisson says: ut may be looked up

Professor Dickson asserts that it may be

The method most commonly adopted ii
preparing this fruit for daily use, is to cu
them in slices, and serve with salt, pepper
and vinegar, as you do cucumbers.
To stew them, remove them ripe romtht
vines, slice up and put them in pot owe
the stove, or fire, without water. Slew
them slowly, aud when done, put in SINAI
piece of good butter, and eat them as yo'
do apple sauce. Some add a little hou

SOIL Of warm nature, with suliiciency 0
old, well rotted manure, there will rarely b.
any danger Of failure, When the vines be
gin to lean, they should be provided with
trelIis, or tied to stakes fixed in the sol
to keep the fruit from being injured b.
coming in contact with the dirt.
