Power Platen Presses. Two rollers pass over
the form twice to each impression, taking ink for
each sheet.

paratus, &c., complete, will be furnished for $500

A Laughable Incident.

In December, lS-, we were travelling
through one of the New England towns in
an old.fashioned stage-coach with a friend
whose powers of making fun from the slight
est cause, were manifest, from any passing
object he chose to attack. Itwas midnight,
and as we approached The village of R-d,
he espied mansion on the top of a small
ar-Ioaf hill, close by the road. When
we arrived opposite, he asked the driver to
stop a moment; the request was cheerfully
complied with, although we we're almost
freezing; but what trick he had in view no
one could guess.
The funny gentleman marched directly
up to the front door of the mansion, ard
knocked with his cane loud enough to wake
up the inmates. Immediately window
sash was raised, and out popped red night
cap, containing the head of the propr ietor
who in alarm exclaimed.
"What-what's the matter! What's
wanted at this time of night!'
"Pardon me, sir, for this intrusion; but
have communication to you personally,
and as the stage is waiting impatienty for
me, please hurry down to the door for one
moments interview.
The old gentleman's red night-cap, with
its ow ier in garment curtaiied of its tail
proportions, was almost Immediately at the
doo-, politely bowling to the funny stranger
who again apologzsd for disturbing his
slumber. and thus exposing him to the chilly
winds of December night.

you see me-" ...
"You are certainly very excusable, ant
especially so as my great haste has prompt

"You internal scoundrel." shrieked the
astonished and iniuriated proprietor; "I'll
teach you trick worth a dozen of this"
and he seized the funny gentlemsn's cane,
who commenced hurried retreat for the
eoach-:he red night-cap and abbreviated
white garment after him as fast as two
spindle shanks could carry them. But the
funny gentleman gained on his pursuer,
jumped into the coach, which at once was
put into full speed up an adjoining hill, with
the enraged country gentleman, in cur
tailed garment futtering in the breeze, in
cold pursuit, but whose hot imprecatioDs
against US all, were enough to stide the
mirth of live Yankee.
On arriving at the top of hill, BY one
of those singular condolences that some
times occur at the crisis, TO mar or to
heighten ones happiness--we suddenly
came in contact with open carriages abreast,
loaded to everfowing with ladies and gen.
rlemen, who were returning frem a country
ball The attention of the whole party was
soen turned to our red night-caped, white
garmepted pursuer, who, not liking SO many
lady spectators, hurled his cane at us,
(Which, however. glanced by and struck
among and aroused family of pigs by the
roadsde) and commenced a retreat for
home, followed by dozen squealIng pigs,
barking dogs, and flock of quacking geese.
The scene presented was one of the most
hddicrous imaginable. and such wild out.
burst of uncomfortable merriment is seldom
heard--indeed it was a fit subject Tor the
pen of Hogarth.

cause he belongs to the English nation

turn to the eastern part of Africa. where
more than hundred OF the Mako,oo are
waiting for him; and, as from three to tour
hundred miles from the coast, and along
high ridge near the Zambesi, there is
healthy country, and fine field for Chris
tian effort, thither he, and we hope others,
will 60 to make known to the people the
truths of Gud's blessed word. Men aa6

work more than ever for the spread of the

Oh! how cold it was that night. The
snow had frozen on the top into treacher-
ous crust that broke a. every step and let
the foot sink into stratum of damp cling
ing flakes. A bitter wind swept through
the streets, until the wooden blinds of the
houses seemed to shiver in the blast. There
was moon, but 90 obscured with dull stormy
clouds that she only shone as it were by
winks, looking out seemingly upon the
world, when, finding everything so cheer
less, she wrapped herself up hastily again
in her fleecy vaports. The poIiecemen were
all covered in secret places, and nothing
stirred in the white, melancholy Streets
The very gas lamps seemed to feel the
drowsiness consequent on extreme cold, and
looked through their frost dimmed panes as
if they could scarcely keep their eyes open.
1t was night of bitter cold!
