GOLDEN PAvEMENTs.-At convention Of
clergymeu recently held in Syracuse and after
the evenings meal, it was proposed that each

such remarks as might be deemed appropriate
When it came to the turn of Mr.. Waterhouse,
he related dream, which he said he had a
few nights before. In his dream he went to
heaven, and his picture of golden streets,
the rivers of shining water, the seraphc
choirs, and 80 forth, was Interestingly vivid.
When he concluded, man notorious for his
money grabbing and penurious habits ap-
preached and asked, in tone of coarse
jocularity:
"Well Brother Waterhouse, did you see
any of us in your dream"
"Yes, Brother G., I saw you"
"Ah and what was I doing?"
"You were on your knees"
"Of course-praying."
"You were trying to dig up the golden

A JUVENILE WrrrIcIsM.-A sweet little
lady of four years occasionally brightens our
home by her visit, exciting the marvel and
merriment of all by her precocious wtticisms
A few days since, in paying long-deferred
visit, she was very naturally served with the
choicest delicacies the house afforded, among
which ice cream seemed most fully to meet
the admiration of her childish appetite, and,
after disposing of one dish, quite naturally
craved another. Her request was met by my
wife with the remonstrance, 81 am afraid,
Bessie, if give you another it will make you
ill, and you cannot then come and visit me"
To which she promptly replied, "That need
not matter, Mrs. L. should certainly come as
soon as 1 got soeA"
HIS REAsoN-A lady was around the
post-office yesterday, speaking with boot
blacks aud newsboys, and urging them to

school, my boy?" kindly inquired the lady.
"Noam."
"Why wouldn't your"
