Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe's new novel, The Ministers Wooing" now publishing in the Atlantic Monthly, promises to excel any thing in the story line that has ever emanated from her pen. We have always thought that trial of her skill in delineating Yankee char acter north, would prove equally if not alto gether more successful than that of African character south; and pcrusal of the first three iustallments of her story in the Atlan- tic, has convinced us that we were about right. If the good woman in the continuation of the story will stick to New England, where the characters thus far introduced to the reader, resided in the olden time and not allow her "phelinks" to drift away to the land of " Un- ce Tom and Aunt Chloe," we feel confident that her success will be in every sense com plete and substantial. For our own part, we cheerfully confess that the Ministers Woo ing" as tale of early life in New England is the most interesting production that Mrs. Stowe has ever presented to the public, and VIC are pleased to find by comparison of "notes" with others who are perusing it, that we are not alone in tine estimate of it's relative merits. We have seen the counterpaG of the characters delneated, if not the characters themselves, and will swear to their genuine ness.-Ne,o Hauem Neaos.

A DELICIOUS BLuNDER following cap- ital joke we clip from the Cincinnati Enquirer At the Spencer House, Cincinnati, the other day, a young man who had made an appoint ment to meet his sister, whom he had not seen for two years, concealed himself in the hall, hoping to surprise her as she came forth from her room. A few minutes elapsed when he saw a plump little body emerge from the room so extending his arms, he clasped the beautiful figure and bending down, he imprin- ted three cr four cordial kisses on one of the most delicious of mouths, asking, Don't you know your brother, you little rogue p
 The " little rogue" looked blank with amaze mcnt, and then, muttering something very sweet, but not ineligible, slipped out of his haf-enclasping arms, and retreated in the di- rection she had come.
 The brother found he had made a mistake, and upon inquiry learned that he had kissed the charming Piccoomini, so he wrote an humble apology, and added that if she was not satisfied with that, he would return her what he had taken
 The note was translated to little "Pic." and heinz convinced of its sincerity, she laughed loud and long. saying archly that perhaps kissing pretty girl was custom of the country. It had frightened her at first, but now she did not care, for, said she, in her attractive English Tuscan 'Ze keess deed me no 'arm-indeed it vas rot so dees-yat you Say it is ?-dees-a-grable.

From the Home Journal. TO WILLIAM WORDSWORTH.

POETS and critics spurned thy pages, Thy household phrase, thy homely words, Nor dreamed they that through after ages, In harmonies and sweet accords, Thy song should echo from immortal bowers. Filling the happiest circles of the hours Oh gentle Wordsworth! wise and tender, a The deep lakes loved thee, and the dells And heath-fowers purple, violets slender, Shook fairy music from their bells- Parting their dewy lips at sight of thee. Oblivious of the low hum of the bee. And in their coolest grots the fountains
 Leapt up to kiss the wandering feet And shadows of the brown old mountains,
 With sunlight glimpses shy and heet Hovercd above thee, blending with thy sleep - The pine forgot to sigh, the elm to weep. All woodland sounds were thine; all voices,
 All echoes hid in glen or grove, When natures throbbing leart rejoices
 In holiest ecstacies of love Fell in sweet minstrelsy upon thine cars, Mixed with the music of the rolling spheres. The sounding sea, his pillows crested
 Upheaving, heard an undcrtone Deeper than his, and, listening rested
 On pebbly beach in caverns lone, To catch the harpings of a minstrel hand That, like trident, shook his widest strand. And shadowy ships. like sea-birds winging Their restless flight from wave to wave, -.-.-s Homeward their silks and spices bringing,
 Or lowering o CT sunless grave, Wantoned and tossed amid the roughening gales
 If breath of thine but chanced to touch their sails Old ministers, to the midnight kneeling
 The requiem ot earths fairest flowers; Dim church-yards to the mourner telling
 Of golden crowns. celestial bowers Thrilled their best meanings in the pulses strong That lived and throbbed in thy enraptrred song. Poet of eighty winters hoary,
 Sleep by the lakes-sleep mid the hills, Where wave and forest tell thy glory,
 Where heaven its freshest dcws distils While countless generations come and go, Sleep while the ocean rools-the rivers flow G. H. II

THE QUEEN A WOMAN, AND NO MrsrAKE-- It is reported that her Majesty has sweet lit- tie temper of her own, and that her tara sposo, like prudent man, generally retires before the storm and locks himself in his private cabinet until the sky is clear, ,and sunshine again llumes the classic shades of St. James of Windsor. After one of these little ebullitions the queen gave "thumderimg knock" at the door of the room where Prince Albert had taken refuge, and upon being asked "who's there P respou- ded, ""The Queen r The Queen cannot enter here,n responded the hen-pecked. Af. ter the lapse of half an hour gentle tap was heard upon the door. Who's there p asked Prince Albert. " Your wife," responded Vic toria.

SOMETHING OF MIR. BEECHER CON
 CERNING PULPPTS.

The Star Paper, last week, is nominaIly up- on organs in churches, but really upon pulpts Here IS a picture of 6 modern pulpit. !" As to the pulpit, but one thing is usually considered necessary, and that is, that it should be so constructed as to take away from the speaker, as far as it can be done, every chance of exerting any influence upon those whom he addresses. Therefore the pulpit is ribbed up at the sides, Set back against the wall, where 1t looks like barn swallows nest plastered on some beam. In this way the minister is as much as possible kept out of the way of the people and all that is left is his voice. Pos ture, full gesture, motion, and that most effec- tive of all gestures, the full form of an earnest man, from head to foot, right before the peo- pie; advance or retreat in short, the whole advantage which the body gives when thrown into argument or persuasion, are lost without any equivalent.
 In this sacred mahogany tub or rectangular box, the man learns every kind of hidden awk- wardness. He stands on one leg and crooks the other like Slumbering horse at bitching post he leans now on one side of the cushion, or lolls on the other side. And when man, thoroughly trained by one of these dungeon pulpits to regard his legs and feet as superfu- ons, except in some awkward and uncouth way to crutch him up to the level of his cushion and paper, is brought out upon an open platform, it is amusing to watch the inconvenience to him of having legs at all, and his various experi- ments and bIushng considerations of what he shall do with them
 Is it any wonder that so little is done by preaching, when, n a great church, with a small congregation, so scattered that no two touch each other, and the bust of man, peer ing above bulwark, reads stale manuscript to people, the nearest of whom is not less than twenty-five feet from him
 The wonder is that any thing is ever dore. Daniel Webster is reported to have said, that no lawyer would risk his reputation before jury if he had to speak from a pulpit, and that he considers the surviving of Christianity in spite of ruirits as one of the evidences of its divinity. We do not vouch for the truth of this as an anccdo!e, but We endorse it as a truth ill philosophy. ...

The Rev Mir. Stone, of Park st. Church in Boston, being about to pass six months in Europe, bade farewell to his congregation on Monday evening. The scene at parting is re- presented as afecting-not to say tender-as he was kissed ill turn by every woman in the congregation. Some who were very sorry, kissed their excellent pastor twice or three times. f{&

An interesting fact concerning Franklin, Mass, is that there now exists in the town the identical library that Dr. Franklin gave to it for adopting his name. He was asked to give a bell for the meeting-house he preferred to give library, as bell had more sound than sense Most of the hundred or two books he gave are still preserved, and they are among the best standard books in the English lan- guage.

POSTMASTER BRowN's LAST INTERVIEW WITH THE PREsIDENr.--At about eleven o'clock P. NJ. on Monday, the President called to see the Postmaster General, and the last interview between these two high officers of the govern ment was quise touching. As Mr. Buchanan was about to leave the room, which he had quietly entered, and from which he was noise- less!y departing, Mrs. Brown remarked to her husband, that the President had called to in quire into the condition of his health. He quickly answered that he would be glad tosee him--hesring which, Mir. Buchanan returned to his bedside Mr. Brown remarked, MT. Buchanan, have cndeavored faithfully to dis charge all my public duties" To which the President replied that his efforts had been suc- cessful, and that the whole country would at test to his fidelity as public officer and the success that had attended his administration of the department and, while commiserating his suffering condition, expressed hope for his restoration to health. MT. Brown seemed conscious that the time for hope had passed, and with evident feeling, having thanked the President for the uniform kindness which he had extended to him and his family, bade him adieu. In a few hours he was no more.
