The Old stage Preachers.

In my tour of the territories last
summer, usually resOFted to the
diplomacy requisite to securing seat
with the driver upon the box of the
stage coach. As we were starting out
from the station, with new team and
driver, was q little startled as Jehu
shouted out, "PreacheI :" By and
by, refining up his leaders and with a
cry, ''Get up Preacher giving the
bud pretty sharply to the near one, q
noble gray, he turned and said with q
wink, "that fellow always wants to
shirk." When the nettled horse had
cooled down little, asked the driv-
er, f'How old is Preacher"
With tone that indicated dispo-
sition to make some amends for his
severity, he answered, "That horse,
sir, is seventeen years DID,"
"How long has he been staging I"
fFThirteen years steady pulling.
He's the last one of the gray team of
four; the rest are all used up.n
"And he's good for his place yet ,"
said /.
"No better horse on the line"
70 the end of the run the old
preacher had the benefit Of consider
ateness on the part Of his driver, and
1 hope that lac enjoys something OF il
yet. ...---. -
/ wonder il 1t isn't something so
with the old pulpit preacher. he has
been on. the lead, and heshas ontlived
his mate. He has. yet the briskness to
keep him on the lead. But some
times be is made to feel the sharp
crack CT criticism. Public sentiment
requires him to have q plenty OF ''get
up" and to travel ON like 3 young
stager. And even II he does. he is
not apt to have the credit for it. JUS
tiee would pTOmpta a eOnsiderate rec
ognitioB and generosity would prompt
q hearty expression of it. God bless
our old preaeheFsi They have grown
gray in this frontier service. They
have carried along our Christian civil
iZation. They ask not pensions.
They desire not to go upon the re-
\ ltired list. Their highest joy Is a rec
ognized place and work.

Bashfulness is a charming and en-
gaging quality, hut it is apt TO be an
occasionally uncomfortable one To the
pOssessOr thereof. Witness the case
Of an excellent aud fastidiOus young
gentleman of San Francisco who
lately made formal call upon q FAM
lily of his acquaintance. Having en-
tertained the said family with unusual
briiliancy Of conversation, and quite
fascinated its young lady members,
he prepared to depart. This is always
the trying moment for a bashful man.
This particular one made his final
bow and gracefully retired, facing his
friends to what be fondly imagined
was the right door of exit. Alas 1t
led to an empty china closet, and he
was inside and shut the door before
quite realizing his agoniZing blunder.
But even that might have been borne
were il not that the family watch dog
had secretly erept in there to doze.
The intrusion hurt his feelings, and
he naturally and promptly resented
it. The s0ul-and the garments-Of
that young man were bitterly rent.
So much for bashfulness.

Mr.. Owen visited Alexander Camp

denees of Christianity. In one of

came to Mr.. Campbeli's buryin2-
ground; when Mr.. Owen stopped, and
addressing himself to Mr.. Campbell,

the Christian; L am not afraid to die.
Most Christians have fear in death /;
but If some few items Of my business
were settled, l should be perfectly

"Well," ansW cred Mr.. Campbell,
''you say you have no fear in Death /;

a solemn pause, mo" said Mr.. Ow-
en-. ''Then," rejoiDed Mr.. Campbell

Bady,s Nerve

The Poughkeepsie Eagle says that
as Mrs. Carter, whose summer resi-
dence is near Sing Sing, was approach
ing the depot in the train from Alba
ny on Monday afternoon, she put her
arm out of the car-windOw to wave a
handkerchief to her children, who
were awaiting her arrival, and at that
moment the cars passed close to an
iron post, and this struck Mrs. Car
teris arm with such violence that the
sound the conclusion was plainly
audible to those sitting near. She,
however, did not utter even the slight
est exclamation of pain, but with the
aid of her other hand quietly drew her
injured arm into her lap, and with
tighuy-cOmpressed lips only looked
the pain she was undergoing. 81 am
afraid my arm is broken /; but please
don't mention it." she said, in answer
TO sympathetic glances. An exami-
nation showed that her arm was frac-
tured in two places, but on the trains
arrival at the depot she quietly walk
ed to her carriage, hiding her agony
lest it should cause pain to those dear
to her

currency for the west.

The Washington correspondent of
the Cincinnati Commercial says {:
y 'tOn the 18th of last month the
Comptroller of the Currency address,
ed 3 circular letter to a number of
National Banks in Western and
Southern States, who had not taken
additional circulation under the forty
four million redistribution act, in
forming thin that the applications
for circulation were so numerous and
pressing that he should feel justified
in Issuing this circulation to other or
ganiZatiOns unless the necessary
amount of bonds was deposited and
the currency applied for during thirty
days from that time. The banks ad-
dressed have responded promptly, and
there will probably be very little cur
rency for distribution. The excuses
offered by the banks for their tardi-
ness was generally that they were
holding back in expectation of a de-
cline in the price of United States
bonds, which they would have to de-
posit as security for the additional
circulation they called for. In a few
instances the banks requested an ex-
tension of time, and it is probable
that the Comptroller will grant an
extension of thirty days or less in
those eases.n
