ssFuneral BilIy.,,

The Philadelphia Gazette says there is remark
able individual in that city whose chief delight and
occupation is to attend funerals. He is an old
man, nearly seventy but his form is erect and his
step steady firm and measured. His face shows
robust health, but wears serious cast never
known to ripple into the faintest resemblance to a
smile. He dresses with the scrupuous nicety OF
chevalier, yet always in sober black. Funeral
Billy" is the cognomen applied to this singular be
ing, whose characteristics are thus described:
His desire to be one of the mourners at funerals
amounts to passion. While at breakfast he reads
the paper--not to get the latest news from Wash
ngton, or the details Of slaughter in the Crimea
but to peruse the list of mortality-to learn who
have yielded up the ghost, where they are to be
buried from, and to what churchyard or cemetery
the funeral will proceed. Having obtained this
information he ponders awhile before he decides
which of these mournfu occasions shall receive his
attention. The funerals of distinguished citizens
are always preferred, for then he exercise his
passion without being special object of observa-
ton. 4 a
Funeral Billy y has an excellent memory, and
can give the details of all the arrangements for the
obseqnies of the remarkable dead in our midst for
many years Acquaintance with the person or the
family of the deceased is Of no Importance. No
one questions the throng at fiineral--indeed, the
more mourners the better suited are the friends
and relatives, aud Billy apparently is always the
most serious in his grief lie has all the various
grades Of grief arranged, from the gentle touching
lament for mothers darling, to the calm, reHec-
tive mourning over the bier of age Our sombre
friend has thorough acquaintance with all the
grayeyards and cemeteries of the city and sur
rounding country. He marks the increase of their
population with gloating eye, and criticises the
monuments as a connosseur in that branch Of art.
Hecannot bear to hear of the removal of the city
graveyards. When not engaged in attending fune-
rails, they especial objects of his admiration
he walks the street. He has an idea that black
dress renders female beauty attractive, and Grape
is the only specimen of dry goods that can extort
from him word of appreciation. We suppose he
has long ago selected spot where he would like
his bones to rest, and arranged the details Of his
obsequies. But the latter will be incomplete, for
they win lack the mourning face of poor Funeral

A Misconception of Disease.

A Springfield correspondent of the Knicker
ocker furnishes the following:
send you the following, which was "quitclaim-
ed" to me few evenings ago by the Rev. Doctor
Cd, venerable and venerated clergyman Of
this city, himself man after your own heart in
his keen appreciation Of an "hmaorosity," and
whose" good things said are only exceeded by his
good things done," during life of seventy years
Not long since, as he, like the conundrumical
turkey aforetime-mentioned in your pages, was
going round, doing good, he called upon one
sick "a man who, although long resident with
in the reverend doctors precincts had but rarely
come under the fertilizing effects OF the /" drop
pings of the sanctuary" He was a very sick man,
and DR.. 0--d, after conversng with and exhort-
ing him in isusual fervid and impressive manner,
proposed to pray with him. No objection being
made, he proceeded to offer up feeling petition
in his behalf In the course Of his fervd suppica-
tion he prayed that the sick man might be brought
to see the error Of his way, and (inter aiia that
he might have new heart" At this point OF
the ceremony the invalid interposed :
"Stop stop, DIR. 0-dl You're all ,oronq
there amt anything the matter with my heart !;
that's all right enough It's my tivcr that's ailin'!"
This anecdotc is entirely true, in every respect.
Sydney Smith, therefore, may talk he pleases
concerning the matter-oEhct conceptions Of the
Scotch but is there anything extant in the Land
o. Cakes that can exceed this ye,y important mis-
conception

An April Fool HoaI.

The Mobile Evening News tells the following
story .-
SoLD.--As the Chronicle train was on its down
ward trip to this city yesterday morning, an incl
dent occurred that caused no little amusement TO
the passengers. As the train was approaching
Eight Mile Station lady quite elegantly attired,
with a lovely bouquet Of wild flowers in hand, and
face concealed from view by handsome veil, was
discovered standing on the platform. The train
was ordered 10 stop OF course, to take in the fair
passenger-and stop il did, The gallant command
or Immediately jumped out upon the platform,
cried out as usual "all aboard ~ at the same tpie
raising his hat and politely extending his hand to
help the lady aboard. She, however, did not re-
cognise his gallantry, but stood dumb and motion
less a statue. The astonished conductor ad-
vaneed, involuntarily raised the veil, when 10 In
stead Of face OF female flesh and beauty, the
words 'sApRIL Fool, inscribed on black light
wood chunk, met his astonished vision. He start
ed back gave the signal 10 be off with unusual vo-
lence, jumped aboard, exclaiming TO the innocent
engineer in a stentorian yoice-"Who the -------
told you 10 stop here y"ag daHef ID .etlaiHa
The sequel TO the story, remarks the Daily Ad-
vertiser, was richer than the foregoing. When
the Mississippi train came along, few hours later,
the conductor observed a female figure standing
in the middle of the track, apparently going to-
ward the city. The train was on descending
grade consisted ola train of eight pretty well
loaded, and was going with considerable speed
Conscious of all this, the conductor had the whis-
tie sounded furiously and shrlly, yet the figure
moved not She must be deaf, thought the con-
ductor, and ordered to sacken speed, and sound
another alarm--but the woman still stood in the
direct path Of the fe-breathing locomotive, while
the distance between the two was being rather un-
comfortably diminished.
Now, really alarmed, the conductor shouted TO
shut the brakes hard down and shut off steam, but
il was too late The would not stop, and ter
rible to relate, the cow-catcher caught the sup
posed woman and tossed her full twenty feet off,
to the horror of passengers and the undisguised
terror of assistant superintendent, conductor and
engineer, floating through whose excited brains
were uncomfortable visions of inquest, grand jury,
solicitor, etc. When the train stopped they hur-
ried with palid cheeks and throbbng hearts to the
spot where the poor unfortunate rested and lol ID
was the same bit of wood with the same April
Foop stamp that so troubled the Chronicle cehr
ductor. just then merry peal Of laughter came
from the neighboIiiag wood, and bevy of girls
were seen cen enjoying something very much. 1t
turned out that they were the clever authors Of
the double hoax, and they are entitled to pre-
MUM for the success of their invention.
