AYANKEE ANECD0TE.

DR.. Putten, q very eccentric clergyman,
was travelling in England. He met Fellow
Of one Of the colleges, who was anxious to
make an inquiry of the Doctor provided he
would give no offence. The Doctor told him
tosout with it," as be guessed it would not
hurt much.
Fellow -" The inquiry is this; Do you
think your present form OF government
will stand, or that your people will soon re-
quire king ?"
DR.. P" Well, sir, that is indeed cues
ton that does not fall in with my pred.iec-
tions, for am thorough Republican. Still
have no objections to answer your question
frankly. 1t is my opinion, to which nave ,s
come after much reflection, that we snaH
eventually have king
Fellow am sure of it am sure OF
it !-but never yet have seen an American
who was willing to admit it. Will you ia.
vor me with the reasons on which you found
your opinion for have no doubt they are
good Ones"
DR.. PEI think they are good ones,
and will frankly state them to you. They
are these: read in the Bible that when Is
rael was virtuous people, God governed
them generally with judges of their own
choosing but when they became corrupt
and degraded people, God in his rrath
gaze them king! As we are rapidly i'm
porting European manners, and corrupt Gus
toms into the United States, greatly fear
that we shall degenerate until God will treat
US rs he has the degraded nations of Europe,
and give US king!"
The Fellow grew suddenly red in the face
and would have made fight, but the laugh
Of his neighbours was so hearty, that he had
to join in, and soon he managed to say,
Well, you have taught me one lesson to-
day that | shall never forget"
DR.. P" And pray, what may that be?
for it is very rare that an Englishman will
admit that he learns anything from an Amer
ican.'
Fellow.-"I have learned to let they yam
KEGS alone, and not NEEDLE with their pecu-
liar matters"
DR.. go Thank you, sir. But allow me
to say that you are rather slow scholars,
for we certainly taught you that lesson on
Bunker HILL"
Fellow" see that you are incorrisl-
ble.'

people,"
