It Giving Each a Portlonn y

At the close Of the last century, in
the village of H, wherc there
were many rich men, and not few
extremely poor, Mr.. A. was the
only settled minister of the Gospel,
charged with the care and instruction
of ali the people. But he; proved to
be partial and unfaithfdl shepherd,
flattering the rich and neglecting the
poor. And as the anscdote runs, &C.
cording to the best of my recollection,
Mr.. c., somewhat eccentric,
though faithful brother, admonisled
him in the following manner. He
went to him, and with great simplicity
and apparent curiosity asked" Bro
ther A, how many front doors in
your parish are opened by o leather
stringl" "Not one; ! believe. no,
oae,o was the ready answer, e And
how many front doors in your parish
continued the inquiring brother, care
furnished with btass knockersl" The
prompt answer was: II should think
q dozen or more" "True," replied
he admonishing brother, "true, in the
second case you are correct, hut in
the first you greatly err. | have ia
ken pains for your benefit, to ascer.
tain the facts in both cases; and l find
that there are on the front doors oi
yourparishioners thirteen brass-knock.
ers, AUD fourteen leather strings
Good morning, brother!"
Z MoRAL.-A minister Of tho Gospel
should, and good minister of Jesus
Christ will know, and often open all
the front doors with leathern string,
in his parish, as well as those which
are furnished with brass-knockers.-
While he neglects not to visit the rich
and admonish them to be rich in faith
and in good works, he should not fail
to visit the poor, and preach to them
the Gospel of Christ.-Pur'tan Re,

Mr.. Editor--Tn looking over your

ton of q Peppers Uranium, who, at
the time of penning the same, thought
he was revealing a secret, or shortly
would. The gentleman says hepeeP.

me, Mr.. Editor; no man Of character

bout after night, much less at noon
day. And he says they didn't do bu.
siness at the Democratic meeting like
they did where he was raised. What
would you think, Mr.. Editor, Of that
man is he should come peeping about
your house7 l imagine you would not
only think but say he was not raised
a. all, but sprang up in the woods Of
ter night like mushroom. But this
peepsr seems to think some of the
candidates have criminated themselves
by only imploring one party for sue
cor; and also by attacking "sommon
sense farmer" to their Circular. If
this peeper was Judge Of the court no
d .ubt these candidates would be in a
critical position. Why didn't they
subscribe to their Circulars, Kaow-aN,
Jack-of:a1, or Booby? for either would
have done. Ifthey had, then l would
invert the peppers classic figure and
say, "booby metamorphosed into a
pepper" But, Mr. Editor, these cam
didates can take rake at Mr.. P. if
they deem him worthy of notice but
as I am better acquainted probably
with the pepper than those candidates
are, permit me 10 write another line
or two. Mr.. P. thinks loaves and fish
es will be scarce with some of the
candidates /; that may be for aught |
know,-but he will have plenty, no
doubt; but how he gets them l don't
say. Ono thing l do say, if P. don't

attf,othced to tho House the following
resolution, which had been passed by

Resolved, That Joint Committee

House, and six upon the part Of the

reason thereof to their respective bo.
dies.
Mr.. Mcdonald said that he regret
ted the Senate had adopted the Joint
Rcsolution-that It would, in the end
do much to delay business. If mem.
bers would once come to the conclu,
sion that there would be an extra ses.
sion, nothing would he done from tha,
time till the end Of the session. He
did not see any necessity for an extra
session, if gentlemen would only Dc

pose and support such proper mea-
