Making Fun.

Once while travelling in stage coach.
met a Young lady who seemed u he Oh the
constant lookout for something isu-hable;
and not content with laughing herself
took great pains to make Others do the
same Now. travelling In a stage coach il
rather prosy business. People in this sItu-
alton are apt to show themselves peevIsh
and selfish; SO the young lady good hu-
NOR was, for time, very agreeable 10 the
travellers Every old barn was made the
subject Of passing Joke, while the cows
and hens looked dcmurely on, little
dreaming that folks could be merry at
their expense. Animals are not sensitive
in that respect They are not likely to
nave their feelings injured because people
make fun OF them; bu, when we come to
human beings that j. quite another thing.
So it seemed 10 me; for after while an
old woman came runuin: across the fields,
swinging her bag at the coachman,' and in
a shrll voice begging him to stop. The
good natured coachman drew up his horses
and the good old lady, coming TO the
fence by the roadside, squeezed herself
through two bars, which were not only III a
horizontal position, but very near together
| The Young lady in the STAGE coach made
some iudicrous remark, and the passen-
gers laughed. 1t seemed very excusable;
! for in getting through the fence. the poor
woman had made sad work with her old
! black bonnet, and now taking IA seat be
side a well dressed lady, really looked As
! if she had been blown there by whiGi-
wind This was a new place OF iun, AND
the Girl made the most OF it. She carca
/ tured the old lady upon Il acard-pretended
/ when she was not looking, to take pat
/ terms OF her bonnet, and III various other
ways tried to raise laugh. vt length
/ the poor woman turned a pale face toward
/ her. MY dear" said she. you are young,
healthy, and happy; | have been SO too,
but that time has past; | am now decrepit
and forlorn This coach is taking me to
! the death-bed OF my child. And then, my
/ dear. / shall be a poor old woman, all alone
/ in a world where merry girls think me a
very amusing object They will laugh at
my old fashioned clothes and old appear
ance, forgetting that the old woman has a
spirit that has loved and suffered, and will
live forever" The coach had now stopped
before poor looking house, and the old
lady feebly descended the steps. " iiow
is she?' was the inquiry OF tho poor mo
ther.
Just alive" said the man who was lead
ing her into the house.
Putting up the steps, the driver mount
ed his box, and we were upon the roaC
again Our merry young friend had placed
!; her card in her pocket. She was leauir:
: her head on her hand-and you may b.
3 assured was not sorry to see a tear upo,
her voung cheek. 1t was good lesson
> and ono which we hoped would do he
, good.

If We take az our guide the average Of
the last two guotstions-and, there is little
TO make us suppose we should err in doing
so-we may suppose that the home con
sumption has now reached $4,000, 900 lbs,
annually, making it % oz. per head. Up
wards of fS,O00, 600 are annually spent on
tobacco in Great Britain. The duty paid
on it amounted in 1858 to f5.27e,47l. 1t
exceeds the sugar duties by e515,350, and
is f2OO, GOO above the excise on malt, long
the prime prop of the Chancellor of the
Excheauer. That the quantity of tobacco
actually consumed is considerably greater
than that indicated by the above returns,
we may infer from the fact that a tolerably
| large contraband trade is carried on in spite
! of Custom-house vigilance

GoUaH IN GREAT BRITAN.---John B. Cough
has been in Great Britain nearly three years,
and expects to return to this country during
the coming August. We learn from the
London Record, that he has delivered l75 of
Of his powerful addresses in the provinces,
fourteen in Exeter hail. and ten in theatres,
halls and chapels in London, during the past
year. In theprovinces, it is estimated that
over I4O, 600 have listened to his arguments
and appeals, and over 4, 600 have signed the
pledge of total abstinence; while in London
be bad addressed upwards Of 10000 persons,
and 1000 names have been added to the
pledge book ct the close of the meetings, be-
sides large numbers aiterWard. This is the
result of one years labor, aad does not ex-
ceed that Of the two preceding years. A few
days since, he delivered five addresses in Exc
ter Hall London, in one week, to very crowd
ed audiences, making in all 80 lectures which
he has given in that place. he has alrea ty
accepted more that 200 invitations to lecture
in America after his return. His health
holds remarkably good under these repeated
exertions, and he declares himself determined
to battle the evil of intemperance so long as
be shall live.

The Oldest Preacher ia New England.
In the town Of Berlin, Vermont, lives the
Rev. James Hobart supposed. to be the old
est preacher in New England. A cores
pondent of the Boston Traveller thus writes
of the remarkable old patriarch Of the Green
Mountains:
He is now about entering the ninety fifth
year Of his age, and the SEVENTEEN Of his
ministry; and stiIl he is vigorous and active,
preaching every Sunday when and wherever
be can engage himself Thirty years ago his
people, over whom be had been the settled
congregational minister since the settlement
of the town in about the year 1870, dismiss
ed him, supposing no would not hold out
much longer Since then he has been preach
ing in New Hampshire and Vermont on
yearly, monthly and daily engagements. He
is great pedestrian, making nothing Of
walking q half dozen miles to preach, and
home again the same day. Two or three
winters ego be had received invitations TO
preach on a given Sunday in three different
towns in line from home; and Of course the
places Of worship were many miles apart
But this did not discourage him. He set out
on foot early in the morning Of the appoint
ed Sunday, walked seven miles, preached a
forenoon Sermon, walked five miles more on
to the next town, preached an afternoon SER
mon, and then walked on still Eve miles more
to the third town and preached his third ser
mon. A few weeks ago he had engaged to
preach in Montpelier, but early in the morn
ing his son came to town to say that his
father could not preach that day, as the af-
ternoon before be had fallen twelve feet from
from the top of an apple tree which he had
mounted to remove some dead limbs. He,
however, is now about again, and we are to
have our promised sermon in week or
two"
