IaE CLARET JUG AND THE ELDERs.-There is

dote mongers respecting the celebrated DR.. Pit
cairn. The doctor seldom troubled the inside OF
the kirk, but every Sunday morning his jug OF
claret was &c be seen on its way from the tavern
just as the more staid portion Of the population
were going TO morning service. The kirk eld-
ers We're at length scandalized, and under the
plea OF preventing Sabbath trading, used fire.
quently to seize the doctors jug aud confiscate
the claret. Suspecting that the seizure was not
altogether disinterested, the doctor one Sabbath
morning sent strong dose of tartar emetic at
the bottom of his pewter. On that day, to the
surprise OF all men, DR.. Pitcairn was seen at
church. His eyes were turned towards the ell
ders' pew. The service had pot advanced far
ere one OF the ze lous opponents of Sabbath trad
ing SUNK out of the ct urch looking pretty pale.
Soon another followed. and presently the elders
pew was empty, to the bewilderment of all but
the contryer of the mischief The latter slipped
out OF church quietly, and with exultation be-
held his prosecutors writhing in all the agonies
ola painful puke. Whether this story is true or
not 1t illustrates the cheapness and accessibility

Russell Lowell's poems:
Hark hear that rustic of dress,
Stiff with lavish costliness;
Here comes one whose cheek would blush
But to have her garments brush
'Gainst the girl whose fingers thin
Wove the weary broidery in,
And in midnight, chill and dark,
Stitch'd her life into her work;
Bending backward from her toll,
Lest hear tears the silk might soil;
Shaping from Ler bitter thought,
Hearts Ease and Forget me not;
Satirizing her despair,
With the emblems woven there.
