Al GOOD STORY.

One Of the French papers tells a good
story of a saddler. He belonged no the
militia company OF his village, aud this
company one day IN moment Of en-
thusiasm. resolved 70 ge,,lp a band Of mu-
sic. The hat was passed round. and
q sufficient number of francs were cuntri.

ssruments. The instruments were order

when, loi it was discovered that, by some
strange oversight, nobody had thought Of
the big drum ] Another subscription was
raised. and the ssddler was depuIed 10

frst.rate maker OF that Instrument. But
it occurred 20 him that he could make, a
drum himself. and pocket the money. ; so
with great accuracy he gathered The ma
terials in gartet-room Of his house, and
addressed himself 10 the work, .earefpsly
keeping the door locked and suffering no
one to know what he was, about The
band was to be produced in public for the
frst time on the kings birth. day which
was near at hand, and yet the biz drum

ty the other evening there were present
s young ladies, attired in the heig ght-or
rather width-of fashion. the circumfer-
ences Of whose united dresses exactly
equalled that of Ashlev's circus. It was
calculated by Senior Wrangler who at
tended. that if the material Of which the
six dresses, were composed, had been cut
into strips two inches wide. it would have
reached four times round the dome of st.
Paul's; while the air-tubes with which
the skirts were expanded, would, if plac-
ed end to end, have very considerably
overtopped the monument. Some idea
may be formed Of the labor which the
present mode rendered necessary, when
we state that to fill the air tubes of a sim
gle dress. it takes the most expert .lady's
maid, upon the average. upwards of three
hours and quarter, even with the help
of good sized pair'of bellows.-London

rnnRA DEL FUEGo.

An officer in the United States Navy,
in a letter, gives the following descrlP-
ton of that almost unknown people, the
inhabitants of Terra del Fuego, the island
continent at the Southern extremity Of
South America:
"The Terra del Fuegiaus, so called
from the country they inhabit, { which in
turn derived its name from the number OF
fires seen along the shore by the first ma
yigators, made their appearance while
we were at anchor at Borja Bay. Shortly
after we had reached this place a small
singular-looking canoe was seen to leave
the shore and make its way towards our
ship. and in a few minutes we were hon.
ored by a visit from two of the Indians,
with their numerous wives, children and
dogs. Upon coming on board the vessel
they proved the most inVeterate beggars
ever met with. There was nothing
they saw for which they did not ask; they
begged for themselves, and, II unsueeess'
full in their application, for their wives
and children. Their usual demand is for
tobacco and biscuit, and, in endeaVoring
to purchase some of their weapons as
curiosities we found that the former arti>
Gle was the most priced and next IN
value were the bright buttons from our
uniforms, ,(and probably they congratu-
lated, themselves on finding people sims
-ple enough to give way such. splendid or
naments. and then biscuit. cid clothes
and empty bottles.

dad and miserable Of all the aboriginal
inhabitaats Of South America. They are

church, to drop line to his farmer re-

On Saturday evening full and anx-

took place in their tabernacle, and pune
tualiy. as promised, came the despatch
from the Plato of the time and place.
Rev. John Bulkley. All was quiet and
respectful attention. The moderator took
up the document, broke the seal, opened
and-a pause ensued, while dubious
amazement seemed to spread over the
features of the worthy president of the
meeting.
We'll, brother Thompson, how is it
what does Mr.. Bulkley say ?" and ano-
ther pause followed.

Salu anOtnef voice.
The moderator placed the paper upon
the table, took off his spectacles, wiped
his glasses, then his lips-replaced his
specs upon his nose, and with u very
broad grin, said
Brethren. this appears to me to be q
very singular letter, to say the least of
it p
"Well. read tread it - responded
the wondering hearers.
"I will" and the moderator began:
You will see to the repair OF the fen
ces. that they be built high and strong.
and you will take special care Of the old
Black Buli."
There wsS'e general pause; a silent
mystery owe read the community; the
moderator dropped the paper to crest"
and gazing over the top of his glasses for
several minutes, nobody saying word.

moderator at length.

Bull E growled half the meeting.
Then another pause ensued, and each
man eyed his ncighbor in mute mystery.
A tall and venerable man now arose
from his seat; clearing his voice with a
hem, he spoke:
Brethren, you seem lost in the brief
and eloquent words of our learned advi-
ser: To me nothing could be more ap-
Propria:e to our case. 1t is just such a
profound and applicable reply to US as
we should have hoped and looked for
from the learned and good man. John
Bulkley. The direction to repair the
fences, is to take heed in the admission
and government of our members; we must
guard :he church by our Masters laws,
and keep out stray and vicious cattle
from the fold And, above all things,
set trustworthy and vigilant watch over
that old black bull, who is the devil,
and who has already broken into our
enclosures and sought to lay waste the
fair grounds Of our church
The effect of this Interpretation was
electrical. All saw and took the force of
Mr.. Bulkley's cogent advice, and unani-
mously resolved to be governed by it;
hence the old black bull was put Aors du
combat, and the church preserved its un-
ion ,..

AFFECTING REMoNsrRANCE.-A gentle
man down east was lately esssying 10 ap-
propriate square of exceedingly tough
beef at dinner in Wisconsin hotel. His
convulsive efforts with a knife and fork
attracted a smile of the rest, in the same
Predicament as himself. At last Jona-
than's patience vanished under his ill.,
success, when laying down his utensils,
he burst out the following:-'Stran-
gers, you needn't laff, if you hain't got
no regard for the landlords feelings, YOU
ought to have some respect for the old
