A Clerical AneCdOte.

Some tbirty-fve or forty years ago, a
Mr.. Williams, clergyman of the old school
somewhat eccentric, came to Salem from
the country to exchange desks with one of
his brethren in the ministry. During the
Sunday noon intermission, he said to his
daughter:
81 am going to lie down. If st. Paul
himself comes, don't disturb me-"
Mr.. Bently, who preached in the East
Church, and who had been very intimate
with Mr.. Williams, but had not seen him
for several years, hearing that he was in
town, hurried off, after dinner, to make his
old friend a call.
"Where is brother Williams?" he in
quircd, as he met the daughter.
"He can't be disturbed, sir, even if St.
Paul should CALL"
81 must see him ;" was the impatient
rejoinder, in the inimitable manner pecu-
liar to Mr.. Bently.
Resistance to such .'must" was out Of
the question. The room of the sleeper
was invaded, and with no gentle shake and
corresponding voice, Mr.. Williams was
aroused. He was delighted to see his old
friend Bently, reiterating with fervency
his qualification.
81 think brother Williams, that you are
little Inconsistent" ua
SHOW so, brother Bently"
"Didn't youtell your daughter you were
not to be disturbed eVenif st, Paul called
yet you seem very glad to see me-"
''No, no, brother; not inconsistent at all
was--I am glad to see you. The apos
tie Paul why hope to spend blessed
eternity with him; but you, brother Bent
ly, | never expected to see you u'again.P

him on the ground, where he was dragged
about as plaything for four years. He
then returned to heaven, removing the sun
further from the earth as he ascended.
fAfter along interval he descended again
with the same request as before. AT this
time Montezuma was living at the Casa
Blanca, or white house, close to the Pimo
villages on the Gila river. The inside of
this house was Overlaid with pure gold.
A third time he slew the Great Spirit, but
the latter now becoming angry, threw a
louise into Spain, which led to an invasion
by the Spaniards. Twice did MOntezu-
w'f.yest and repel the invaders, but before
tia S'ird engagement the golden ring flew
from the finger of his daughter to the fin
ger of the Spanish commander, and the
silver ring Of the latter flew to the finger
of the former. Thus did she become
leagued with the enemy, and when they
were out of provision she prevailed upon
her people to throw them tomaleS instead
of arrows, and thus they were fed at Mon
tezuma's expense. After many severe con-
tiicts the Spaniards were victorious, when
the traitOrous Princess demanded the hand
of the commander in marriage. He eOgreed
to this on condition that an eagle which he
set free should alight on a prickly pear
tree. The eagle did so, and the command
er started to celebrate the marriage at the
pear tree, being followed by large train
of Papogoes; but, under the protext of
getting yiolins, powder, ETC., he travelled
on aud on until the Indians all deserted
him.
Henceforth, as the story goes, Montczu-
ma made no improvements, and his people
were scattered over the country. He af-
terward deposited the archives of the Pa
pago and PimU nations in cave near San
ia Rosa, and ordered that they celebrate
a feast there every fourth year, which Gus,
tom is still observed. The nations grad
ually diminished, and Montezuma wander
ed about until the Indians have lost all
| traces of him.

POETRY.
OVID TO WOMAN.
Translated from the Greel;.
BY A BUNGLER.

To love know is rather tough,
And not to love is hard enough;
But worst of all to make YOU blue,
Is to love girl that won't love you.
Not wisdom, wit, nor pride of birth,
In wOman's eye, have any WORTH
Not eloquence can move her heart,
'Iis gold alone paints cupil's dart.
Forever he the wretch accursed
Whose heart was set on gold the first,
And hell enlarge to take all in as
Who still indulge that mortal sin;
For gold makes brother war with brother,
And sire, and son to tilt together;
1t sets the mother 'gainst her daughter,
And stirs the world with blood and slaughter
It's gold that paints the murderer's steel,
And bids man cease for man to feel.
The minstrel now in heavenly strain
AT wOmans heart will sue in vain;
For beauty may be bought and sold,
And wOman's heart will yield to gold.
