his neghbors justly conclude that he is on
the road to bankruptcy. That the people
of North Carolina, as a whole, have been

The Deacon and the Irishman.

Under this head we find the following
amusing story going the rounds
a few months ago, as Deacon ingalls,,
of Swampscott, r. l., was travelling thro'
the western part of the State of New
York, he fell in with an Irishman who
had lately arrived in this country, and
who was in quest of brother who came
before him and settled in some of the dig
gins in that vicinity.
Pat was strong, athletic man, and a
true Catholic, and had never seen the in
terror Of a Protestant Church 1t was
pleasant Sabbath morning that brother
Ingalls, met Pat, who inquired the road
to the nearest Church.
ingalls, was good and pious man. He
told Pat he was going to church himself,
and invited his new made acquaintance to
keep him company thither, (his place of
destination being small Methodist meet
ing house near by.) There was great
revival there at the time, and one of the
deacons, (who by the way, was very small
IN stature } invited brother Ingalls, to take
seat in his pew He accepted the invi-
tation and walked in, followed by Pat,
who looSed in vain to find the altar, etc.
After he was seated, he turned to brother
Ingalls,, and in whisper, which could be
heard all around inquired
"Sure an isn't this hiritic Church %
"Hush," said ingalls,. 'If you speak a
word they will PUT you out"
''Diyii word will | spak, at all, at all, =
replied Pat.
The meeting was opened by prayer by
the pastor. Pat was eyeing him very close
ly, when an old gentleman, who was stand.
in the pew directly IN front of Pat, shout
ed Glory"
"Hist-s-t ye clear divil,' rejeined Pat
nth hie i l.,I e .-l IL
heard by the munster, "be dacent, anC
don't make blackguar Of yourself"
!. The parson grew more and more fer
vent in his devotions. Presently the dea
con uttered an audible groan "Histst
ye BLACKBOARD, have you no dacency at all
at all 2 said Pat, at the same momen
giving the ueacon a punch in the rib
which caused him nearly to lose his equil
ibrium. The minister stopped and exten
ded his hand in a supplicating manner
l and said
5 Brethren, we cannot be disturbed il
; this way. Will some one put that ma
out 2"
: Eyes, your rivirince," shouted Pat, I"

Z he collared the deacon, and to the ute
o horror and astorishment of the pastor
# brother Ingalls,, and the whole congreg;
y ton, he dragged him through the aisl
l. and with tremulous kick he landed BIZ

INFLUENCE OF A SMILE.-1t is related
in the life Of celebrated mathematician,
William Hutton, that respectable look
ing country woman called upon him one
day, anxiuus to speak with him. She told
him, with an air Of secrecy, that her hus-
band behaved unkindly to her, and sought
other company, frequently passing his eve-'
nings from home, which made her feel ex-
tremely unhappy, and knowing Mr. hut
ton to be wise man she thought he
might be able to tell how she could man
age to cure her husband.
The cause was a common one, and he
thought he could prescribe for it without
losing his reputation as conjuror. The
remedy isa simple one, said he, and I have
never known tito fail. At,Udys meet your
: husband acih smile.
The woman expressed her thanks, drop
, ped curtesy and went away. A few
months afterwards she waited on Mr.. Hut
ton, with couple of fine fowls, which SHE
begged him toaccept She told him, while
tear of Joy and gratitude glistened il
her eye, that she had followed his advice
8 g and her husband was cured He no lon
: ger sought the company of others, bu
n treated her with constant love and kind
l. ness.

SOME NosE.-The following incl
dent we had from friend who knows
the party: Deacon Comstock, of Hart
ford, Connecticut, is we'll known as be-
ing provided with an enormous handle
to his countenance, in shape of huge
nose, in fact, it is remarkable for its
great length. On a late occasion,
when taking up collection in the
church to which the deacon belongs, as
he passed through the congregation
every person to whom he presented the
bag seemed to be possessed by sud
den and uncomfortable desire TO laugh.
The deacon did mt i.-l.Sw what 20 make
of it. He had often passed round be-
fore, but no such effects as these had be.
ever before witnessed. The deacon was
fairly puzzled, The secret, however,
leaked OUT. He had been afflicted for
day or two with slight sore on his
nasal appendage, and had placed a
small piece of sticking plaster over it.
During the morning of the day refer
red to, the plaster had dropped off, and
the deacon seeing it, as he supposed,
on the floor, picked it up and stuck it
on again. But alas for men who some
times make unfortunate mistakes, he
picked up instead of it, one of those
little round pieces of paper which the
manufactures of spool cotton paste on
the end Of every spool, and which
reads as follows; Warranted to hold
out 200 yards" Such sign OF such
nose, was enough to upset the gravi-
ty of even a puritan col groga ion, and
the laughing We think justifab!e. -Lc.
