Rev. N. Dodge, OF Mount Joy,
Pennsylvania, is an cighty-year-
old clergyman, who rightly be.
lieves that a minister should be
known as much by his walk rs by
his conversation, for he lately

The Pope, according to the Ia
test advices from Rome, no longer

very young man, and it is to be
hoped may have long and pros
porous career. But he must look
out His name, to the red men, is
a most suggestive one; and should
he get into trouble as q bishop
militant, he must look we'll TO his
scalp, or there won't be any Hare
cleft on the place where the hair
