IN which the evening hour is peculiarly inter

serenity amid those who can commune with onr
loves, or twine the wreaths of friendship, while
here is none to bear us witness bnt the heavens

Nas~ In DIsraeli's Curiosities of Litera-
ture we find the following passage showing
the temper with which religious controversy
was conducted in the 10th century:
calvin was less toerable, for he had no
Melancthon. His adyersaries are never
others than knaves, lunatics, drunkards and
assassins. Sometimes they are character
lied by the familiar appellatives of bulls,
asses, cats, and dogs. by him Catholic and
Lutheran are alike hated. Yet, after having
given vent to this virulent humor, he fire.
quently boasts of his mi dD ess. When he
reads over his writings he tells us that he
is astonished at its forbearance, but, this he
adds, is the duty Of every Christian. At
the same time he generally finishes with
Do you hear, you dog?' DO you hear,
you mailman ."

LA!HMPERAHcE JOKE

Joe Harrison was whole souled, merry
fellow, and very find of glass. After liy-
Ling in New Orleans for many years, lie
came to the conclusion to visit an old uncle,
away up in Massachusetts, whom he had
not seen for many years. Now, there is a
difference between New Orleans aud Mas
sachusetts, in regard to the use of ardent
spirits: ard when Joe arrived there and
found all the people run mad about temper
ance, he felt bad, thinking, with the old
song, that keeping the spirits up by pour
ing the spirits down, was one of the best
ways to make time pass, and began to fear
indeed, that he was in a pickle. But on the
morning after his arrival, the old man and
his sons being out at work, his aunt came
to him and said
"Joe, you have been living in the south
and no doubt are in the habit of taking
little something to drink at about eleven
o'clock. Now keep some here for medi
cal purposes, but let no one know it, as
my husband wants to set the boys good
example," | seSs
Joe promised, and thinking he could get
no more that day, took, as he expressed
it, ga regular buster" After that, he
walked out to the stable, and who should
he meet bu, his uncle.
Well, Joe, says he, 81 expect you are
accustomed to drink something in New Or
leans, but you find US all temperance here,
and for the rake of my sons, don't let
them know that 1 have any brandy about
but just keep little here for my rheum-
atism. Will you accept little 90
Joe signiied his readiness, and took an
other big horn. Then continuing his walk
he came to where the boys were hauling
rails. After conversing awhile, one of his
cousins. said
"Joe, l expect you would like to have
drink, and as the old folks are down on
liquor, we keep some out here to help us on
with our work.
Dat came little bottle, and down thew
sat; and he says that by the time he went
home to dioner, he was as tight as he we'll
could be, and all from visiting a temperance

ENGLISH MANNERS. The boorishness Of
American manners is frequently discussed
by travellers with severity. The following
is little illustration of British genius in
the same line:

creditable affair took place between Leipzec
and Magdeburg, and the only excuse which
can be made for the principle actor in it
was his youth and inexperience.

G TAKE HIM EoUT." THE best Joke that

| TAKE HIM EoUT. The best Joke that
we have heard related of the believers in
spiritual knockings,' is told Of fam man in
Norfolk county, in this State, who few
weeks since visited the house Of a neighbor-
+ ing farmer, and as soon as the dishes we're
removed from the supper table, proposed to
have "sitting" with the family in the
kitchen, to see if his dear guardian angel,
| St. Luke, would not make some new revela-
| ton. %.
After sitting in death like silence for about
ten minutes, some one limited the possibility
of the gentleman's being mistaken about
his receiving communications from st. Luke;
whereupon the spiritualist brought his fist
down upon the table with decided emphasis,
and exclaimed sxaa ea8
"Gentlemen, 1 know that I've had COM
munications from my dear guardian angel,
St. Luke. Yes you may laugh as much as
you like, but St. Luke is in the room neor!
Yes, his blessed spirit is here! feel some
thing meow in my tv-eou sers! Yes! 10!
ali !! ki-yi! ki.yi! take him eout! take him
eeut''
AID here the gentleman leaped from his
chair, grasped with both hands that portion
of his pantaloons which is usually worn
thinnest, and begged the spectators in the
most piteous tones, to take him eout, or
he should die on tae spot fas. M ~.
Requesting the ladies to leave the room,
the gentlemen present made an examination
of the spiritualist's pantaloons, and found
them to contain mouse, that by the still
ness os the company, had been induced to
leave his quarters and search for crumbs
upon the floor.
1t is not known whether the gentleman
still believes that he is watched over by his
friend st. Luke, as be now avoids all spirit
ual assemblies, and is Immediately sienced
whenever he attempts to introduce the SUBJ
ject of spiritual knockings, by the mischiev-
Gus boys exclaiming:
"Take him eout! take him e-o-u-t.''-

SHOOTING Casa row occurred on Fri
day evening, at an oyster cellar at the
northwest corner of Third and Chestnut sts.,
Philadelphia, in which Singleton A. Mercer
was somewhat INJURED about the head. Itap-
pears that there was great noise and con-
fusion on the premises about o'clock in
the morning. During the excitement pis-
tol was fired. The Waterman on the beat
made an effort to enter the cellar, but was
compelled to burst open the door before he
could effect his purpose. Upon entering the
saloon, the officer found Mr. Mercer lying
upon the floor and bleeding considerably
from a wound in his head. Two men, named
VIM. Buck and Edward Mccain, were ar
rested for participating in the disturbance.
Blood was found upon his clothes. Mercer
was examined before the mayor. He said
he had been shot in the head 1t is, we be-
lieve, general impression, that the wound
in Mr.. MERGERS head was caused by blow
from stick, and that the shot he received
was in the neck.-Pennsyluanian
