nreacher who came the other day to oftl-
ciate at a village in Lincolnshire, had been led
10 believe by his brethren that the inhabitants
were very stingy towards their spiritual pro-
giders. Accordingly, at the conclusion OF the
service, he thus addressed the congregation:
INV brethren, have been given to under
stand that there is very current notion enter
tanned by many in the village, that the local
preacher or prayer-leader whose appointment
may be fixed in this village, is in his nature
something entirely spiritual, Or, in other words
an angel. Now am determined to give you
TO understand that such notion is all moon
shine, and that we are really men of the same
flesh and blood with yourselves, and like your
selves subject to all the ills that flesh is heir
to; and that you may see how entirely wrong
YOU have been in entertaining such notion, |
will show YOU what l have in my hand, and
what [ shall do with it." Here the preacher
produced large piece Of bread and meat and
began to eat. For the courageous hint, we
have no doubt he will receive the thanks and
prayers of his brethren.
Many true heart, that would have come
back, like dove to the ark, after its first
transgresson, has been frightened beyond re-
call by the angry look and menace-the taunt,
the savage charity Of an unforgIvng spirit.
The editor of the New York Mirror, in no.
ticng the incidents of the recent grand excur-
sion to the head waters of the Mississippi, gives
specimen baby the following first rate notice:
Gwen the one rare specimen Of babyhood
on board our boat never uttered cry orpuck-
cred its face during the whole trip. As a to-
ken of profound reverence for such exemplary
conduct, the passengers raised large subscrip-
ton for the purchase of gold cup, which was
presented to the ''model baby''-a promising
little chip, furnished for the occasion by our
honored host, Mr. Henry Farham. The pre-
sentation speech was made by judge Rockwell,
of Connecticut, with his usual t1uency and fe
Icity; and the reply of the infant, delivered
through a reverend interpreter, was tender,
touching and appropriate. Of all the speech
making occasions by the way, none passed off
more pleasantly or gracefully than this. The
subject was more interesting, though scarcely
less handled, than Nebraska bills, internal i'm
fugitive slave laws, and other
stereotyped topics, with which every body was
surfeted."
The defects OF the mind like those ofthe face,
grow worse as we grow old /
Politics is the art of being wise for others pol
icy, the art of being wise for ones self.
The yankee who was lying at the point OF
DEATH Whitfield it off with bis jack-knife and is
