A Clergyman ON "a spree.

Some days ago minister arrived in this
city from a town in Illinois. He belonged
to an Evangelical denomination, and came
TO this city to preach trial sermon before
congregation, with the understanding that
if the sermon was satisfactory he was to be
engaged as the shepherd of the flock. He
was determined to succeed and did. His
sermon was powerful and charmed the
hearts Of the audience, and the object of
his visit was secured. But alas, Satan is
ever spreading seducing snares. The good
man became so elated with his success that
he INDUCED in little spree. :" The con-
sequence was amentable. He strayed into
the vile precincts of Almond street, and
fell victim to the allurements Of paint.
ed Jezebel After this, what transpired is
not known, but it appears that he became
unconscious, and when he regained his
senses he discovered that all his money,
some $5l, had disappeared from his pock-
ct. He is poor man, as most minist ters
are, and the loss was heavy to bear, and in
the anguish of his repentent soul, he ap-
piled to the police, but so far, we believe,
his money has not been recovered. When
last heard of he had succeeded in ''raising
the wind to a small extent, and had re-
turned to his wife emphatically "a sadder
and wiser man.-,St. Louis DemOcr0t.

so severely as to incapaclate him from join

possible combination Of circumstances ia
vorable to my advancement in the good gra-
ces of Mr. Memick seemed to surround me.
To say what an effort it required to submit
cheerfulIy to his perpetual presence would
be impossible. He appeared, after a little,
to regard my continual companionship as a
matt of course; and so well had | acted
my part that the man actually believed |
enjoyed his society. Presum,ng, therefore,
on my established popularity, ventured
casually, on ar occasion that appeared ia
vorable, to introduce the subject Of his
niece into one of our conversations.
"Ah!" said he, and his face grew hard

He stopped with growl.

had already somewhat puzzled me-his ap-
parent Indifference to the young and fasc-

he not felt secure; and yet such knowledge
argued more intimate association with
Fred's affalrs than | should have expected
