an O,Holor .Nusc.-.A CLERGYMAN
i'll England, Whose nasal protubcranco
indicated bibulous rather than biblical
pro- 'cnsitics, arrived one Saturday
night at a country town, the rector of
which was an indolcnt man Of the old
school, and was always too happy to
get any one to relieve him Of his duty.
The sexton was not long in reporting
the presence Of strange clergyman
ut the inn, and the rector Immediately
told him to beg the favor Of his taking
the service to morrow, and dinin"
with him afterwards. But rccollcctinr
at the moment the rumors Of the
irregular proceeding and unusual tenet
that had been current ever since the
time Of Wesley, the rector, was about
to recall his invitation, rcnarkiny
that "onc ought to know something
about stranger in these DAYS, as
there were SO many Of these Methodist
fellows about the country" 60 nc is
all right, sir" was the clerks reply {;

iSium Etiquctic.-Whcn the Siamcsc am
bassadors were presented recently to Queen
Victoria they threw themselves on their
hands and knees, and went the whole length
Of the room on all tour<, and the principal
ambassador laid his Chain on the stepofthe
throne, and read his address in that position
and after the for,naitics they all backed
ont in the same awkward style. The royal
gravity was sorely tried by the ridiculous
spectacle. When the distinguished foreign
ers were invited to lunch in one of the
state apartments, they all pulled out their
pipes and filled the hall with cloud of
smoke, to the great horror of the court and
the disgust Of the Queen, who abomnates
the weed.
The fact has long been known to build
ers, yet apparently but little regarded by
them, that the action Of coal.gas is highly
destructive to mortar. 1t is not unusual to
find chimneys in which bricks maintain a
position in a mere honcycomb or: weakened
lime cement through which large holes may
lie found communicating with the open air
or with the most infammable portions of
the. bnilding; thati IS to say,,wilh adjacent
timbers which have been very much dried
by their proximity to tle,heat.. It's need
less to say thattiis eating away Of tho NOR.

and, unless it be bornei in mind and prevent
