It is not the correct thing at all TO laugh
at the misturtuueS Of people; but what can
orc do when placed in the position mar
rated in the following by 4 welcome Con-
necticut correspondent:
In the procession that followed good Dca-
con Jones to the grave last umincr Rev.
Mr.. -, the new minister of East Town,
found himself in the carriage with an
elderly man whom he had never before met.
They rode in grave silence for Il few mo-
| mcntS, when the clergyman cndeavcred TO
improve the occasion hy serious CONVERSE
ton.
"This is a solemn duty in which we are
engaged, my friend" said he.
"Hey? what do you say, sir the old
man returned. Cant YOU speak louder:
I'm hard of hcarin'.'
81 was r~emarking," shouted the minis
ter, "that this is q solemn road we are ira
yelling to-day
"Sandy road! You don't call this ere

The Young minister looked blank at the
unexpected turn given TO his remark ; but
| quickly recovering himself, and raising his
voice to its highest pitch, he resumed the
conversation.
"Our friend has done with all the discom-
| forts of carth,' he said, >olcmnlv. "a

East Town, sir
1t WAS perhaps fort innate for the minister
at that moment that the smell OF neW-madc
hay from Il n~cighbo!iug tclQ suggested Il
fresh train Of thought.
"Look," said he, with a graceful wave Of
the hand. "what IN emblem of the brcvity
Of human life !! As the grass Of tie field SO

last desperate attempt to make himself III
dcrstood, "1his is no place for vain conver-
sation. We are approaching the narrow
house appointed for al the living"
They were entering the graveyard, but
the old mar stretched his neck from the
carriase-window in the opposite direction.
"Do you mean Squire Hubbard's, over
yonder? 'Tis rather narrer. They build
all them ~new-fangled housen that way now
a-days. To my mind they amt nigh so
