The Rev. DR.. Sprague, in his visits to 'Eu-
ropean Celebrities gives anecdotes OF the
Rev. Matthew Wilks, q celebrated London
preacher
There was nothing for which he had a more
cordial adherence than an exhibition OF dan
dysm IN young ministers and nothing Oh
this kind ever came in contact with him with
out havuga rcbukc On one occasion young
minister of a good deal of pretension and pat,
radc, went from the country to London ana
carried Mr.. Wilks n letter, designed to pro-
cure for him an invitation to preach.
well, young man. said Matthew, with
nasal twaug that is perfectly indescribahle,
but which nobody that has once heardcan ever
forget, well, young man, you want to preach
in London, don't you =
Il am going to pass few days here, sir
and if it should suit Mr.. Nilks convenience,
should he happy indeed to give his people Il
sermon while am here.
Wcll' replied Matthew, you can preach
YOU can preach; come along next Wednes-
day morning to the Tabernacle, and IL meet
YOU there, and you can take my lecture for
that morning.
The Young man agreed to do 50, and was on
the ground at the appointed hour. Matthew
met him Mt the door, disgusted as he had been
before with his dandy airs, and addressed him
thus
go along, into the rul pit, young man, and
| will b. below and look at you, and shall
hear every word you say.
The Young preacher darted through the
aisle into the pulpit, in manner that seemed
better to beft a ballroom than place OF
worship. lie performed the Introductory
service with an air Of insufferable selfcom-
placency. and in due time opened the Bible
and read his text, which was the last verse of

set up a good stout cough in the hope that

it was artificial. and lie could do nothing but

Singular instance of saEacity in Il Hen.

\ case of animal instinct came
under my observation, Of so singular Il nature
that am inclined to give it publicity.
\ few years since | purchased Il hen of
Mr.. Odoll, MOw resident of our villagc)
who informed me that she was one of the first
settlers Of Wisconsin, and having particular
regard for old age, concluded to keep Mrs.
Biddy and witness the effect of age in her
declining years.
Whether there is Il natural respect for age
among certain animals, | will not attempt TO
decide, but certain it is, that not biped up
on the farm ever attempted to cross her in
clination, or dispute her authority; and if
there ever was fowl whose organ Of self
esteem was prominently developed, it was her.
Nothing remarkable occurred, aside from
her naughty department, until the last year
of her lite, which was in 1871; when she be-
came extremely dccrcpid, and was unable to
walk but few step. without stopping to rest.
and if by any mshap, she was thrown upon
her side, she was unable to regain her feet,
until some one came to her assistance. De-
crepil as she was, however, she laid litter
Of eg.s, and commenced the process of incu-
baton. Her health failing rapidly, it soon
became evident that she could not survive
long enough to finish her task.
One morning observed her leaving her
nest and directing her course towards the
place where she received her daily food. She
proceeded little distance when she came in
company with another hen who was walking
lc,urely through the yard, Both stopped.
and putting their heads together, as if in close
confidential conversation, remained SO for
some minutes. After the conversation wa.
ended, the old hen began to retrace her steps
back tO her nest, followed by her younger
and more vigorous companion, stopping Oc-
casiuually to renew the conversation. Having
arrived at the nest Il long conversation aUpa-
rently ensued after which the young hen.
carefully placing herself upon the nest, took
/ charge OF her eggs as ii they had been her own.
while the old hen, as if conscious Of her ina
/ bl,ity 70 proceed with her task, had provided
a mother for her expected offspring, and bid
/ ding final adieu to the place where the ties
Of nature had bound her affection, she left
/ the scene. she never afterwards took any
notice Of her nest, or exhibited any regard for
! her eggs.
She appeared conscious Of her approaching
end; taking her station near where she re-
ceived her food, she never left the spot, but
remained there few days and expired
The step mother reared the chicks, with all
the attention and affection of an own mother

--latest from Kansas.

From a private letter received by us yes
terday, from a gentleman formerly Of this
County, now citizen Of Lawrence, Kansas
Territory, we apprehend that difficulties there
have been brought to bloody issue by this
time. The letter, which is dated the 18th,
states that the recent bands of emigrants
from Georgia, South Carolina, and Alabama,
with some hundreds of Missourians, were as
ssmbling in arms at Leeompton, and were
daily expected at Lawrence.
The men Of Lawrence sustained by the
Free State men throughout the State, are
fully prepared, and not at all 10th TO meet
the invaders, and seal, If need be, their de-
votion TO liberty, with their blood. Their
watehword is "Death or Liberty" Their
blood is up, and blood-the blood Of a race
that fought at Bunker Hill for liberty, will
TOW ike water, before they will surrender to
their worse than savage foes.
