Rev. DIR. TYING ON OLD WoMES.-Rev. DR..
Tying delivered an euIOgy on "old Women
at the Adversary of the Association for the
Relief of Aged INDECENT Females at New York.
The TribuMes report has the following:
There is a great difference between. the old
women and old men. The Bible speaks Of
"mothers in Israel" Does it anywhere speak
of fathers in Israel?' 4 man when he gets
old and gives up business, or "retires," becomes
imperious, uneasy and unpleasant He with
drws himself into habits of introversion. If He
is cigar smoker, he smokes all the day long.
If he is n newSpaper.readeT, he reads it through
every day, advertisements and all. Laughter.
The only way to get work out Of an old horse
is to Keep him at work; and the only way to
make an old man worth anything is to keep
him busy. An old soap-boiler in this city re-
tired from business to country residence on
Staten Island to "take it easy" but he soon got
sick and sent to town for DR.. Hosack. The
doctor went to see him, and wrote out the fol-
lowing prescription, Go back to New York and
take turn at boiling soap" laughter Old
men get gouty, they are continually getting cold.
The draught somehow always will be blowing
on their necks. This is the reason why we
don't hear of fathers in Israeli but-dear
mel can take you round st Georges Church
and show you whole scores of " mothers in IS
rael." Laughter. True bencvolence is kind
ness towards those who can never pay back.
take an orphan boy, and bring him up-I can
\ get my pay out of his hide. But to take an old
woman so far as this world is concerned there
is nothing to be made out of it. Laughter.

Coon STORIES TOLD OF THE PDEsDENT.-The
Washington letter writer of the Ny. Post, tells
the following good 'uns of the President:
There is a story told here too good to be lost,
about the Presidents troubles. He invited the
Cabinet together and submitted to them the
question between Walker and the border ruff
ans. No one said word.
''Why, damn it." exclaimed our somewhat ir-
ritated Chief Magistrate, "I believe you are all
looking for the succession, Just like Walker"
Here is another: The President, after pref
ty hard days work, sat him down, and rubbing
his still undated calf up and down gently, OBJ
served to n friend or two with him, 'Now, if
can only get rid of that Alderman Wood, in
New York, and the Kansas question, l shall get
on pretty we'll" The President always speaks
of Wood as Alderman Wood. ~
