like most hard workers, is, according to this au.
thority, an early riser. Leaving his couch at
six, he remains at his desk until two. At that
hour the veteran starts after the partridges; not,
as his admirer tells us, for sport, but merely for
necessary exercise Otherwise, so devoted is he,
we are given to understand, to the affairs OF
state, that he would disdain to cast thought on
ANYTHING having even the appearance of rccre-
alton. But even in the 'stubble" he is not
allowed to forget that he is minister Every day,
while he is out, two or three electric messages
demanding instant attention, are brought to
him. Our first lord is man of decision. No
protracted deliberation; no careful elaboration
of roundabout official phraseOlogy for him. No:

occasions crowns his ample brows, he writes

a COLLEGE REvIvAL.-A Dickinson College
correspondent of the New York Caristian id
g0cate writes:
"a gracious revival of religion in the college
has been in progress for the past two weeks, and
so deeply interesting has been the work that
prayer-meetings have been held every night
Mourners have presented themselves at the altar,
and the cry of distress has mingled with shouts
of deliverancc, to the great joy of the people of
God. Already more than twenty have heen
converted, and give evidence of true change
of heart Last Sunday morning, in general
perience, aud declared what God had done for
them. It was u nohle and Mountaineering sight.
to see these young men thus publicly take their
stand for God. But in the afternoon scene of
still greater interest was presented, when, just
previous to the sacrament, twenty of them pre-
public pledges of their faith by seeking adinis-
sion to the church.

MAN WHO DEFlEs HARD TIMEs.-The lion
of the day was Marcus Poole man fully six
feet in height and stout in proportion whose
dress was i'll adapted to the season, consisting of
nothing more than shirt of coarse cotton cloth
very much soiled and lacerated and pair Of
corduroy pants, much too short and too tight
for him-the lower part Of the legs being much
torn and hanging about his ankles in ribbons
His feet were bare, and his head ditto, with the
exception of an abundant crop of foxy hair,
which enveloped his unexPresSive countenance.
His face was perfectly round, and in the midst
of its flaming hairy halo, much resembled the
rising sun as it is represented in some Dutch
pictures. When arrested by policeman, this
extraordinary person was sitting on doorstep
in Pine street, cndcayOring to repair his panta-
looms with saimaker's needle and piece of
Irvine.
Nagisirutc-How came you in this wretch
ed condition, Marcus Poole?
Poole With much composurel-I don't
know what You mean by ''wretchcd." dLy con-
dition is quite comfortable.
jstFatc.-Ilaye you tried to get work?
PoOle.-What's the use Of trying? Don't
they say there's work to be had And if
there was any,I don't want to tnisosit from
them TINT need it.
1Eqgistrdte- yOu no need of employ
ment.
Poozs-Not in the least can beg few
me supplied with the nccesSaries of life.
HagistJate,-What are the necessaries of
life?
PoOZe-What are they2 wby-grog and to-
bacco
Magistrate. you seem to want necessary
clothing.
Poole.-That's mistake I've got just about
as much as think is good for me- I'm anarm
enough, and what more do want?
-Hagistrate.-Your dress scarcely answers the
purpose of tlecency.
POole.-Ah, whose fault is that? Wasn't
making, repairs when one of your fellows
overhauled me? If he had let me alone,
should have been done up fit for any kind of
company.
HagiStrate.-I think you must feel chilly
with no covering except those two garments?
POole.-Upon my word and honor, couldn't
bear another rag on me. Habits everything.
Look at Adam and t'other apostles-how dye
suppose they stood it? The thinner you larn
to dress Yourself, the higher you come back to
n stand of innocence.
lfagistrate.-I'm afraid you are not a living
illustration of your doctrine. But as you have
not committed any actual breach peace, sup
pose shall have to set you at liberty. Howev-
eT, advise You to keep as much out of public
view possible.
PooIe.-Pm not anxious to show myself to
anybody that don't like to look at me.
After glancing lefantly around on the court
and spectators, Mr.. Poole was conducted to the
door of the office and dismissed. PHILADELPHIA
