A ClergYman TakenIn-

rather amusing incident occurred re-
Gently to a reverened gentleman. who is
a popular preacher in city not more
than twenty miles away. He went to
have his likeness taken at a photography
er's, and put on surplice in an ante
room. When ,ishered into the manipu-
latlng room, he was not a little discon-
eerted on seeing Circassian beartv. in
full costume, chained and on her knees.
her countenance expressing the pleadings
OF hearted girl on being dragged
before the Mussulnan proprietor Of a
happy harem family. The reverened
gentleman, as soon as he had recovered
from his surprise, took an interest in. the
high proceeding, and ventrred to sug-
gest that the veil fell too far across her
face Would you kindly show me what
you mean?" said the man of shades and
shadows The reverend gentleman was
KIND enough to do 50. The flash of light
was wlckedly employed; for, to his hor-
ror, it may be related, If he sees this
anecdote, that the popular preacher was
taken IN dramatic attitude with Circas-
sian slave appealing to him to release her
from her thraldonl. The feelings of the
reverened gentleman when he afterwards
saw the picture exposed at the entrance
to the photographers establishment as a

Boys Will be Bows.

SO thought the occupants of aBoston
! horse car, who listened to the story of a
mlsclievous young lad, who was telling
an old gentleman why he liked the new
master of one of our schools. The mas
ter, he said, was a first-rate fellow. and
he had dismissed the scholars
twice lately at $50 o'clock in the morn
ing. Why, what did he do that for p
asked the elderly gentleman After the
youth had had a good laugh he managed
to explain that one of the bows had mt a
piece of ice under the thermometer. and
sent the mercury down to forty, and the
master thought the room was not warm
enough for the pupils to remain in. And
the way the old gentleman laughed and
shook told plainly enough that he had
once been one of that kind of bows.
