*" Deliver me from my friends %
certain corpulent and very eminent
Brooklyn divine might have exclaimed,
on the occurrence of the following incl
dent, which is related to US on reliable
authority.
AS tho Rev. DIR. B. entered tie
crowded cabin of a Fulton ferry boat, he
was Immediately addressed by gentle
manipulating man, but unfortunately
under the influence of liquor, who very
tremendously insisted upon giveng him
his seat.
Tt-take my seat, DID DOCTOR" slut
tered the man, take my seat; have
a great respect for you, D-d-doctor :
your very good, ard a, a, very great
man"
But before the polite offer could be
accepted, an Irish woman slipped into
the vacant place, and the late occupant
turning again to DR.. B, went on
Well, never m-mind, D-doctor, yoa
must take the will for the deed; but I
have great respect for you, Doctor.
You're man above the common run;
you've got good church in Brooklyn
hope you won't leave US, Doctor. Heard
you had call to Ninth Street the other
day-nine thousand dollars salary; but
you wouldn't go: no Doctor, you told
them you'd Sc 'ens ID first"
The Doctor is quite as celebrated for
his wit as his eloquence, but this time
it failed him SO decidedly that he han
not a word to say in reply.

EI q Your story of the farmer who
would not have his hired men called
from their work to take sawlog of
from him, reminds me-" says New
Bedford correspondent, " of wealthy
ship-owner of this place, a member of
the Society of Friends, and now eeceas;
cd, who Was very remarkable for eeono-
mizing the time of his hired men. He
had one of his ships hove down at the
wharf to repair and copper. 1t was a
cold winters day, and there was plank
extending from the wharf to the float
ing stages around the ship, on which the
carpenters and caulkers were at work.
Among the men was one by the name of
John, man of all-u ork, a man of color,
and one on free-and- d-easy terms with his
master John was carrying matters and
things up and down slippery plank to
the workmen, when he slid of a sudden
and shot, heels over head, into the wa
ter. The old Quaker saw him, and as
John came up to blow called out to him,
Don't make noise, John, you'll stop
the men in their work; keep quiet, and
I'll help thee out
AS good or bad luck would have it,
the same day, the kind Quaker was COM
ing down the plank, and away he went
into the briny deep. But John was
close by, and as his master rose to the
surface, and looked the image of dispair,
the wicked negro put on a long face,
and cried: Master, don't make noise
to call off the men: I'll help thee out ,
And SO he did, while the men looked on
and laughed at the fun

This is perhaps the most remarkable

Upon his death no such viii was found;
but another will was discovered, making
