DIGNITY DowN-Rev w. T, of Indi-
ana, is large man of dignifed bearing, and
when preaching, extremely sensitive to any
disturbance, slight improperly on the part
of the congregation being quite sufficient to
throw him off the track.
no na0 Somo yoaas 60, ~. nnnnection with
his pastorate, a small congregation in the coun-
try, to which he preached ENTHUSIASTICALLY,
at q private house. The incident here record
ed happened at this place, when a small, but
select audience was listening to one of rs
really animated and sensible sermons
As the preacher waxed warm, he observed
some mysterious movement among the female
gender, which attracted his attention away
from the sermon. 1t grew more observable,
until he discovered the hostess collecting some
live Goals upon a shovel, and preparing to
march with them to an adjoining room. 1t
was late in the afternoon, and by clerical in
stinct, he thought the old woman was about
to prepare his supper. He couldn't stand
that.
sStop, sis er, stop" said he. 81 shall not
remain to supper, and you need not trouble
yourself to prepare any for me-"

reply. "Thar 9 woman here got the collie,
and we are just bilin' some YARDS for her 20
wasn't there just at the time, but couldn't
discover any difficulty in believing that all
the starch was speedily taken out Sf that
sermon.

Our Naturalization Laws.

As certain changes are proposed in the Nat.
uralization Laws of Congress to make them
more stringent, the Albany Journal published
an abstract of their provisions, for the pur-
pose of showing that the evils compIaineS of
are in the execution of the Laws.
According to these provisions foreigner
who has resided FIVE years in the U. S., and one
In State, may present himself before the u.
s. Circuit, the U. S. District, the Supreme, or
the County Court, and apply for naturaliza-
tion. He must, in the first place, bring two
"sitizens' of the United States to swear that
he has lived five years in the country, and
one in the State, and that he is a person " of
good moral character, attached to the princi.
pies of the Constitution of the United States,
and we'll disposed to the good order and hap
piness of the same" After which he must
swear to the same facts substantially himself
And if these oaths are falsely made, the nat
uralization is void and the parties subject to
imprisonment for perjury.
In the nextplace, he must prove that it has
been for two years past his deliberate inten-
tion to make application to become citizen
of the United States. The only proof that
will be accepted of this, if he was of age
whom he came to the country, is written dec
laration of such intention made two years
previous, before Court, signed by its Clerk,
and sealed with its SEAL
The next thing required Of him is to take
solemn oath on the Bible ''to bear true faith
and allegiance to the United States and to re-
nounce all allegiance and fdelity to every
foreign prince, potentate, state or sovereignty
as he has previously been subject off, (meH-
tioning by name, the Queen of England, EN-
peror of Austria, the Pope, the Czar or who
ever the sovereign may be, under whose au-
thority he formerly hved.) Subsequent acts
contrary to this oath are punishable by fine,
Imprisonment and death.
Finally, he must renounce his order or title
Of Rank or Nobility, if he las any such, and
resign his commission, if he hold one, under
any foreign power.
He, his wife and children then become enti-
tied to the rights of American citizens, so far
as holding property and voting is concerned.
But he cannot hold certain Offices without a
still furthern term of probation. He cannot
be Representative until after seven years
longer, nor Senator until nine. And none
but a native.born citizen can be President or
Vice President of the United States.
