upon my search. He led me through q
labyrinth of narrow old fashioned dwell

a lantern, answered my summons and,
on my inquiring if Herr Lachner lodged

After the first flight, I found myself in

H-A gossiping club has been form
ed out West for the purpose of more effect
ually ascertaining the business of other
people generally. 1t has already attained
a large membership, and promises to be-
come a hourishing institution. The fol-
lowing are some of it's rules
"Any member of the society who shall
be convicted of knowing more of his own
business than another's, shall be expelled
from the society without hearing.
"No member shall sit down at his own
table. till he has ascertained to certain
ty, what his neighbors within three doors
of either side of his house shall have to
eat-whether they have paid for the same
and if not, if they ever expect to.
Every member who shall see two or
three persons engaged in conversation.
shall place himself between them until he
has heard all they have to say. and report
the same accordingly.
Every member who shall see gen.
tleman visiting a lady more than twice,
shall circulate the news that they are 60
ing to be married, and said members are
forthwith required to report all manner ol
things about the gentleman to the lady,
and ditto about the lady to the gentleman
This will break up the matche, and afford
much good gossip"

"Buttoned up a Bumblebee."

Once upon time there was clergy
man-the Rev. DR.. E. of H, a
man of high character, and distinguished
for his dignity of manner. But it was
remarked that frequently as he was as
ceDding the pulpit stairs, he would smile,
and sometimes almost litter, as if beset
by an uncomfortable desire to laugh
This excited remak and at last scandal
FINALLY, it was thought necessary for
some of his clerical friends, at meeting
Of the association, to bring up the matter
for consideration. .-"
The case was stated-the Rev. DR..
T being present. "Well, gentle
men," he said, "the fact charged against
me is true, but beg you to permit me to
offer an explanation. A few months after
l was licensed to preach, I was in a coun.
try town, and on Sabbath morning was
about to enter the services of the church.
Back of the pulpit was window, which
looked out upon field of clover, then in
full bloom, for it was then summer. As
l rose to commence the reading of the
Scriptures, l cast glance into the field,
and there saw man performing the most
extraordinary evolutions--jumping, whirl-
ing, slapping in all directions, and with a
ferocious agony of exertion. At first
thought he was mad but suddenly the
truth burst upon me-he had buttoned up
a bumblebee in his pantalcons! I am
constitutionally nervous, gentlemen, and
the shock of this scene upon my risible
sensibilities was SO great, that l could
hardly get through the services. Several
times ! was on the point of bursting into
laugh. Even to this day, the remem-
brance of this scene-through the temp
tation of the devil-often comes upon me
as am ascending the pulpit. This, 1
admit, is weakness, but trust it will
rather excite your sympathy and your
prayers than your reproaches."
