Omar Ann s,.sr.fA~-The well known big
man of Heitiordshire Mr.. G. J. Coleman,
died on the 4th Of April at the ripe age Of
seveutv-sereii Mr. Coleman was Formerly
purveyor ID the East India College, at Hal
tevbuTy, and hence will be well known to
many of our readers. In very early man
hood he weighed as little as eleven stone, a
moderate weight for a man standing about
five feet ten inches in his stockings Up
ward of a quarter of century since he be-
gan to increase in size, and steadily pro-
crossed until he obtained the enormous
weight of upward of thirty one stone
Some idea of his great size may be gather
cd from the fact that his thigh measured
four feet in circumference; his knee was thlr-
ty-two inches round, and his ankle twenty
eight inches Until within a very lew
months. he took his daily constitutional
walk and his fatal illness Ian attack OF
bronchitis) was only of few days dura-
ton. His exterior coffin was three feet four
inches in breadth, and, from its vast size
had to be conveyed to the church on bier,
as no ordinary hearse was sufficiently capa-
cious to receive it. The total weight of the
coffin and contents was upward Of eleven
hundred weight. We believe that Mr.. Cole
man was the heaviest man Of the present
time, though be fell considerably short OF
the weight attained by the celebrated Dan
lei Lambert.
Joseph Leffel of Springfield, Ohio, is the
smallest business man in the world, and, in
does. quite an atom as compared with Gen.
Tom Thumb, Mr.. Lefel being only forty
four inches in height, and weighing but
ffty-f pounds Mr. Leffel is now thirty
two years of age. He is an intelligent,
able bodied, handsome featured man, and
sports moustache that would really do
credit to the Scotch giant. He has filed
the Office of supervisor in Springfield and is
regarded as one of the most public spirited
citizens of that place He is about to mar
ny Miss Sarah E. Balton, who is smaller than
Mrs. Tom Thumb, and was formerly Dolly
buttons maid of hOnor.-Home Journal.

in Washington, applying for pardon. Ali these
gentlemen were formerly in the United States con-

IngratitUde.

N II common enough TO hear people an
/uounce that, for their part, they have gwen
up expecting gratitude in this world, and
that in such significant tones as to leave US
IN no doubt that the hard experience is a
personal one Nobody talks much about
iurratitude in the abstract the subject is
only interesting when brought home in some
marked way TO ourselves. Now, though it
is only too fragrant truth that there is such
a thing ms ingratitude, we think it viii be
granted by whoever has listened to this
strain that there always arises 4 misgiving
SIS to the justice, in the particular instance,
Of so sweeping a censurc upon human ma
ture If we know the complainant well
enough. we shall be conscious Of detective
sympathy. The people who are always
seeming out ingratitude are not people to
trust without a searching investigation, be-
cause they will uniformly be found self-ab-
sorbed, puzzle headed, or in some way in
capacitated for taking reasonable and I'M
ureiudiced view where their affections or IN
terests are concerned they are behlndhand
with the rest Of the world in their knowl-
edge Of themselves and of their standing
toward others. They view the conduct Of
others in any critical case which greatly con-
Germs or interests them, in its bearing on
themselves alone; they can not take in the
complicated relations in which all stand to-
yard the world about them. Thus you will
hear the mistress of household rail at the
iugratitude Of servants. because one on
whom she has bestowed much kineness has
left her for her own convenience or to al bet
ter herself" As she talks of her wrongs,
she evidently forgets that the delinquent
NAV have ties quite as stringent elsewhere.
The trusty damsel she misses so sorely had
perhaps given 4 qaid pro qWO in faithful
service or, if the complainant was kind,
perhaps others had been kinder; or she for
getsthat the kindness has the set-of of many
3 provocation hard for seryant-girlhood to
bear. As fact, people are never less pleas
ant than when denouncing the wOrld-their
world whatever it is. We feel implicated
Ia some way; though it is no concern of
ours, We find ourselves making common
cause with the migrate. The truth is, in
gratitude Is too serious. a charge TO bring
without very grave consideration-witho
weighing all sides Of the question. There
are ungratetul people in the wOrld-peo-
pie with the mouths described by the
old writer rs always eating and never say
ing grace; who take whatever any body
VIII give them and never say Thank YOU :"
sea people for whom no man living is the
better people who think they have right
20 every thing, and only feel ill-used when
that comes as 4 gift which should have been
theirs by ownership.

4 CLERICAL SPECTATOR RUINED.-The
New York correspondent Of the Providence
Journal relates the following melancholy
incident Of metropolitan life:
Whilst descending from the upper part
OF the city this morning, found in the cars
an aged Clergyman, long since retired from
the pulpit but who recollect as one of the
most popular preachers Of other days. As
sat beside him / inquired after several
glergymeu with whom | was formerly ac-
ouainted Among the rest was the Rev
Mr. When last saw him said the
aged Clergyman in response to my inquiry,
he was quite well His departure was
most unfortunate and melancholy You
amaze me, said /, pray, sir, what do you
mean by his departure? Why, he was
dismissed, returned my aged friend have
you not heard Of it?
On my replying in the negative, and con-
tiuuing my expressions of surprise, the old
man related the following narrative: The
Rev. Mr.. -, as you know succeeded his
father IN the pulpit. He had one Of the
largest and most fashionable, certainly the
wealthiest congregation in the city of his
sect representing from five to six millions Of
dollars They adopted the son as their pas
tor before the death of his father, and show
cred on him every favor, benefit and good
office His salary was seven thousand dol
lars year, and the gifts of his Pensioners,
together with church fees, would probably
amount to as much more. He was beloved
and honored by everybody Two years
$40 his father died and left him, his only son.
sixty thousand dollars.
Two years and 4 half ago, the Rev. Mr.
-- was induced by friend to purchase a
few shares in railway stocks in Wall street
He vas lucky At the outset; was induced to
dip further: was again lucky and luck led
him on TO ruin From that time up to about
a year ago, he kept his Wall street broker
employed with varied success. From deal
ing in stocks he went into gold gambling;
the end Of that need hardly be related. He
soon found himself not only bankrupt, but
be had sacrificed all his mothers estate, had
involved his wife's father to the tune of one
hundred thousand dollars, and had render
ed two or three of his wealthy parishioners
liable TO the loss Of sums varying from one
hundred and fifty thousand to forty thousand
He now found himself but little better
that beggar in the world. The proper &c
clesiastical authority interfered, took the
matter up, and manifested great indignation.
I was selected as 4 go-between for both
parties. accepted the Office | found the
authorities unanimous against the Rev. Mr..
-. and advised him 10 resign, as it would
be idle and absurd TO contend with that
body he adopted my advice, resigned,
took his family to a sequestered retreat in a
Ueighboring State, where they reside, con
signed to poverty. Some months ago few
Of the members Of the Rev. Mr.. IS con-
gregaion raised a fund of thirty thousand
dollars for him and urged him to quit his
native land for awhile and soiourn in Eu-
rope. He accepted their proposition, and
IS now in Germany. His sad fate should be
q terrible warning to all clergymen against
stock gambling.
