A DISCREET CLERGYMAN.-A Boston correspond
ent of the Salem Gazette relates the following anec
dote:
At the house of an eminent though not aged D. D.
in Boston, there was visiting lady OF brillancy and
proposed for the Clergyman, his wife and the lady
guest. The wife of the clergyman was prevented
from being one of the party and chaise ride for the
clergyman and the strange lady was concluded on.
Whefeupon, by direction of the clergyman, two
chaises drove up at the appointed hour, into the
hinder one of which the clergyman seated the lady
and handed her the reins and then took his seat in
the forward one and thus in grave procession thet
| chaises proceeded, each wit its single occupant,
through the streets of this and neghborng city, till
they reached the open country, and after short and
very refreshing drive returned to the clergyman S
| house in the same demure and unimpeachable order.
Suffice it, that such careful minister in long pas
torate does not Incur reproach of certain kind

IMMoRrA LlTY-How beautiful the following gem
from the pen of Prentice and how happy tile heart
that can see these beauties as he portrays them:
"Why ia it that the rainbow and the cloud come
over us with heanty that is not of earh and then
pass away and leave us to their faded love
iness? Why is it that the stars, which hold their
nightly festival around the midnight throne placed
above the reach OF our limited faculties forever mock
ing us with their uEapproachable glory? And why is
it, that bright forms OF human beauty presented to
our yew aad then taken from leaving the thous-
and streams of affection to flow back III Alpine tor
rents upon our hearth We born for higher des
thy than that OF earth There is realm where the
rainbow never fades, where the stars will be set ont
before us like Islands that slumber the ocean, ana
where the eautiu being that passes before US ike
meteor, will stay in our presence forever"

DEATH OF A NOTABLE PERsoNAGE.-The Norfolk
Herald in announcing the death of Mrs Jane Collins
at the advanced age of eighty years. says she
year 1887 with her husband, Phillip Collins who was
a butcher. Mrs G. assisted her husband-shared bis
tolls late and early and in all weathers-was never
absent from the stall in the market house. He died
in 1907 and she continued the business, occupying
the same stall for fifty years. It adds:
She made and lost several fortunes. During the
war of 1872 she had the contract for supplying the
troops at this station with beef, and made many
sacrifices fulfil it, often going beyond her obligations
to forward the views of the commanding general.
Our aged friend was perfect model of a true Wing
of the Henry Clay School. He was her beauideal of
a patriot, and it is peasurable to remember their
meeting together in the public ball room in Norfolk,
in ls44 When introduced to the sage OF Ashland,
she wiped her mouth with her snow white handker-
chief and kissed him with zest that fully electrified
the old statesman, who thereupon calamity offered
the worthy dame his arm, and the promenade of the
couple was interesting to behold

SACREnNESs OF TEARs-There is sacredness in
tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of
power. They speak more eloquently than ten thou
sand tongues. They the messengers of over
whelming grief Of deep contrtion, of unspeakabie
love. If there were wanting any argument to prove
that man is not mortal | would look for it in the
strong, convusive emotion of the breast, when the
soul has been deeply agtated, when the fountains OF
feeling rising and when tears are gushing forth
in crystal streams. Oh, speak not harshIy of the
stricken one, weeping in silence! Break not the
solemnity by rude laughter, intrusive footsteps.
Despise not womans tears-they are what make
her an angel. Scof not if the stern heart OF man
hood is sometimes melted to sympathy-they are
what helps to elevate him above the brute. love to
see tears OF affection They painful tokens but
still most holy. There is pleasure in tears--an awful
pleasure! II there none on earth to shed teal
for me- should be 10th to live; and if no one might
weep over my grave, could never die in peace.

The VALUE OF FINE LADY-Joseph Hume once
assisted at the soee ddnsane Of the Countessof Frt
tered The most brilliant star in that galaxy OF fash
ion was the young and lovely Marchioness of Fiddle
dale. The great historian says: 81 saw her dancing
in the hail. Around her snowy brow were set five
hundred pounds; such would have been the answer
of any jeweler to the question, what are those da'
monds?' With the gentle undulation of her bosom
there and fell exactly thirty pounds ten shngs
The sum wore the guise of brooch of gold and en-
amel. Her fairy form was invested in ten guineas,
represented by slip of lilac satin and this was over
laid by thirty guineas in two skirts of white lace
Tasteluly down each side of the latter were six half
crowns, which so many bows of purple ribbon had
come to. The lower margins of the thirty-guinea
skirts were edged with eleven additional guneas the
value of some eight yards of silver fringe quarter of
yard in depth. Her taper waist taking zone and
clasp together calculated to be confined by thirty
pounds sterling. Her delicately rounded arm, the
glove of spotless kid being added to the gold bracelet
which encrcled the little wrist may be said to have
been adorned with twenty-five pounds five and six
penceand, putting the silk and satin at the lowest
figure should say she fourteen and sixpence on
her feet Thus, altogether, was this thing of light,
this creature of loneliness, arrayed from top to toe
exclusively of little sundres in six hundred and forty
eight pounds eleven shillngs'
