PaYing Like u Sinner.

Several years ago, in North Carolina,
where it is not customary for tavern-keep-
ers to charge the ministers anything for
lodging and refreshments, preacher
presumingly, stopped at tavern one
evening, made himself comfortable dur
ing the night, and in the morning entered
the stage, without Offering pay for his ac-
commodations. The landlord soon came
running up to the stage, and said; There
was some one who had not settled his
BILL The passengers all said they had, j.,
but the preacher, who said he under
stood that he never charged ministers
anything. what you minister of the
Gospel--a man of God = cried the inn
keeper; you came to my house last night
you sat down at the table without a
blessing; | lit you up to your room, and
you went to bed without praying to your
Maker;) you arose and washed without
saying gTuce; and as you came to my
house like a sinner, and cat and drank
like sinner, you have got to P0y like a
sinner!

OCcraotHg IA well known Methodist
minister who was travelling on horseback
through the State of Massachusetts, stop
ped one noon on a sultry summers day
at cottage by the roadside, and reques-
ted some refreshment for himself and
beast. This was readily granted by the
worthy New England dame, so the par
son dismounted, and, having seen his horse
well cared for, entered the cottage and
partook Of the refreshment which was
cheerfully placed before him. For some
time past there had been no rain, and
the country around seemed literally par
ched up. The minister entered into con-
yersation with the old lady, and remark
ed about the dryness of the season. "Ies "
she replied. "@2i @.2iless We ,,,aye rain soon,
al nv SSats, cucumbers and cabbages
sill be good for nothing, and think that
all the ministers ought to pray for rain"
The worthy divine informed her that he
was minister, and that he should be hap
py to comply with her wish. He accor-
dingly knelt down aud prayed fervently
that the gates of Heaven might be opened,
that showers might descend and refresh
the earth. He then arose from bis knees
and having kindly thanked his hostess,
bade her good day, mounted his horse
and departed. But he had not been gone
more than an hour when the clouds began
TO gather and tremendous shower oi
hail and rain descended, with such force
as to wash the contentents ofths&d lady
garden clear out Of the ground. 'HPhere,
said she, "tbat is always the way with

dertake to do anything, but they Away;

4 Hard Ct1Se.-Itis is an old saying that
nothing cuts like truth. We recollect oi
hearing or readings many years ago, a
capital story of a man, who, on his re-
turn from public meeting, burst open
his door in a rage, upset his children,
kicked his dog, hurled his hat behind the
CRATE, and paced the apartment back and
forth with the ferocity of a chafed tiger.
What is the matter, my dear?' said his
wondering wife.
"Matter p roared the angry husband,
"Matter enough Neighbor B. has pub
licly called me liar !'
"Oh, never mind that, my DEAR" re-
piled the good woman; "He cant prove it,
you know, and nobody will believe him.
" Pr0re it, you fool ?" roared the mad
man more furiously than before, "He did
proce 1t! He brought witnesses and
prOccd 1t on the spot! Else how should
be in such ID of passion ~
The argument was a poser.

HydrOphObia.

Ten animals-the dog, wolf, fox, and
cat, the horse, ass, mule, cow, sheep, and
pig-are all which are said to be suscep-
tible Of this disase, while the first four
only are said to be able to communicate
it. These four have teeth of similar
form, capable of making a deeply-punc-
tured wound. From these facts, the con
clusions has been drawn that hydrophobia
is species of tetanus, resulting from the
nature of the wonnd, and not from any
poison injected into it. Tetanus or lock-
jaw, often results from wound made by
a pointed instrument, like a nail, in the
hand or foot, and the same result has fol-
lowed other injuries to the nerves. The
two diseases seem to bear a general re-
semblanoe-both are spasmodic, both af-
feet the muscles of the throat, and both
are attended with the same great excite
ment to the nervous system.-Cincinnati

ASuceessfuI Domestic Search.

Mr. II. affronted his wife, who, to pun
ish him, resolved to act dumb whenever
he was present, and Sc we'll did she main
tain her resolution that nearly a week
passed away, during which not word
did she utter in his presence. She per-
formed her household duties as usual, but
speak she would not. He tried to coax
her out of her whim, but in vain. At last
he tried the following plan to overcome
her resolution, by working on her curios-
!ty, the moSt ungoYernable Of female pro-
r2nsities. Returning one evening from
his employment, his lady sat there as us
ual, mute. He Immediately commenced
a vigorous search throughout the room.-
The closet was examined, the bedroom,
the drawers, boxes, shelves-every thing
that could be thought Of was oveVhauled.
His wife was struck with astonishment
ct his unaccountable behavior, and so he
proceeded in his search. She became
neryously anxious to find out what he
was looking for. What could it be =
She looked in his face, to CLEAN, if posi-
BILE, from its expression, the object of his
search; but it was no go: he was sober as
Judge. He lifted the edge of the car
pet, looking under the table-cover, and
finally approaching her chair looked un- m
der it, even going SO far as to brush her
dress partially aside, as if what he sought
might be hid there. She could stand it
no longer. She burst out, Bob, what
are you looking for!' He smiled and
answered, Your tongue, and | have found
