got into such habit of going out be-
fore the meeting is closed, that it seems
to be an imposition on stranger If
that is all, l must and will stop and
preach for you,' was the reply of Moo
dy. When the Sabbath day came, and
Mr.. Moody had opened the meeting
and nance his text, he looked around
on the assembly and said, My hearers,
I am going to speak to two kinds of

time I purchased good one. Three
days afterwards a friend borrowed it
without leave. The next | heard of

You see my dear friend, from this
short narrative, to what miseries have
been subject on account Of umbrellas.
Were l to give you a faithful detail of

I will worry you no longer. During

one hundred and fifty umbrellas.

At length I have resoried to this ex-

made of red cotton, expressly for me.
You don't think, he added with a faint
smile, they will take this, do you''

parted, leaving me to muse on his un-
happy fate. My medltations were
brought to an end by hearing shout
Of derision. I turned round and dis
covered that gust had turned the red
cotton umbrella inside out, and injur-

Poor Jone I have not seen him

dog must admit that he has strong
share of reason. Only observe him as
he sits by your side and wishtully
watches the endless transit of piece
after piece, bit after bit, as the fork is
conveying delicate morsels to your
mouth. There is neither hope nor des-
pair exhibited in his countenance he
knows those pieces are not for him.
There is an expression of impatience
about the eye, as he scans your fear
lures, which seems to say, 'Greedy

The osslfcation of the aorta is evidence

PoTTED MEATs.-It sometimes hap.
pens to the ladies from some uniore-
seen circumstances, that large quantl-
ties Of cooked meats, prepared for a
party which did not come off, perhaps,
remain on hand, which for want of
knowing how to preserve, are measur-
ably lost. Such should be potted. Cut
the meat from the bone and chop fine,
and season high with salt, pepper,
cloves, and cinnamon. Moisten with
vinegar, wine, brandy, cider, or Wor-
cestershlre sauce, or melted butter,
according to the kind Of meat, or to
suit your own taste. Then pound it
tight into a stone jar, and cover over
the top with about a quarter OF an
inch of melted butter. 1t will keep
months, and always affords ready
and excellent dish for tea-table.

BRITISH INTERFERENCE IN NICARAGUA.
1t is stated in the New Orleans papers that
the Admiral of the British fleet at Greytown
had despatched seven armed boats up the
river for the purpose of searching amongst
Walkers forces for British subjects This
is direct interference with the rights of an
individual to become a naturalized citizen of
the United States, and will probably create
some difficulty. 1t is nothing less than in
stituting the right of search, for which our
country once went to war with England.
and if permitted towards our citizens in Mic
aragua, must be permitted elsewhere.

Immediately took rise. The fears of the

official announcement in the .Moniteur, that
the Imperial nasal organ had resumed its

with muscles, and followed by the
