TINE FOR PEAcE.-The venerable Dr.
was throguh his long ministry unequally yoked
with very ill.tcmpered wife. In the furnace
she tended so constantly, he was, we doubt not,
purified for the Masters use. and at the age OF
nearly ninety passed to his rest. When, few
months later, the death of his widow was an
nounced, an old parshoner expressed great re,
greet, saying, he had hoped the doctor would
have had time for a little peace before she FOL
lowed him."

ANECDOTES OF BENEVOLENT WIT.-The
New England Historical and Genealogical IReg'
lister for July has biographical account of Lu
cius Manlus Sargent, one of the wits of the
earlier part of this century, and the following
good stories are told:
He delighted to do good in secret, but he was
no friend TO laziness. A stout, robust fellow,
whom he well knew as lounger, on a GER
tain New Years day called him up very early in
the morning He dressed in haste, and hurried
to the parlor. The beggar cried: "a happy new
year to vou, SIR" Mr.. Sargent went to the
closet and got piece of gingerbread, and gave
il to him, saying: "Call on me this time next
year and I'll give you another piece"
Another anecdote related to his son by the
celebrated William Gray, in substance was as
follows: Not long since, before Mr.. Sargents
decease, in looking over and adjusting his pa
pers, he found large number of debts and
notes due him by poor men, principally fisher
men. He tied them up in bundle, and on the
label wrote this memorandum; "Notes, due
bills, and accounts against sundry persons along
shore. Some of them may be got by suit or Sc
we're dunnlng; but the people are poor; most of
them have had fshermen's luck NY children
will do as they think best Perhaps they will
think with me, that it is best to burn the pack
age entire"
About month after the decease the sons met
in the counting-room of the elder brother, who
administered on the estate. He produced this
package, read this inscription, and inquired
what should be done with it. The next oldest
brother, with tears in his eyes, pointed to the
fire, and they all agreed to it; but it was thought
best to make a schedule of the names amounts
and dates, so as hereafter to know who were
forgiven, if any wanted to pay. 1t was done,
and the package, labeled at $4,000, was cast
into the fire.
About four months after this, in the month of
June, hard-faced old man from the Cape came
to the store TO pay debt due to the deceased.
He took chair, and looking over time worn
pocketbook, drew out bunch of bank bills TO
pay the debt. On learning his name, date and
amount, viz, $40, the first step was to examine
the list of burnt notes; and there was his name,
debt and date, of very many years ago, which,
with interest if preserved, would amount to
$780, The administrator told him the fact and
made him put back his money, which he did
with eyes brimful Of tears, for he said "his old
dame had sold the only COW to supply what was
wanting in his hands to pay this debt, and
what glad news it would be to her when he
went home"
