The young man, took the Elders

the preacher entered the house.
He was shown into the best room !;
and soon felt very much at home.
He expected to hear something III
due time disparaging the domestic
arrangements, but he heard it sooner
than he expected. This time, if
Sister Scrub could be credited, her
house was all upside down it
wasn't fit TO stay in, and she was
sadly mortified to be caught in sIch
plight. The elder looked all
around the room, as if to observe
the terrible disorder but he said
not word, By and by the dinner
was ready and the elder sat down
with the family tn we'll spread ia
BILE. Here again Sister Scrub found
everything faulty the coffee wasn't
fit to drink, aud she h ad't anything
fit to eat. The elder lifted his dark
eye to her face for "a moment he
seemed to penetrate her very soul
with his austere gaze then slowly
rising from the table, he said

Both the esquire and his lady
were COMPOUNDED. This was piece
of eccentricity entirely unlocked
for. They were stupified. Bat the
elder was gone. He wouldn't stay
in house not fit to stay in and
where there wasn't anything fit to
eat or drink.
Poor Sister Scrub She wept like
a child at her folly. She "knew it
would be all over town." she said
''and every hody would be laughing
at her." And then, how should she
meet the blunt, homes elder again !?
"She hadn't meant anything by
what she said" All she never
thought how. wicked it was to say
so much that didn It mean anything.
The upshot Of the whole matter
was t hat Sister Scrub "saw herself
as others saw her." She ceased
making apologies, and became bet
ter christian. Elder Blunt always
puts up there, always finds every
thing as it shoult lie. and with all
his occentricitie5 is thought by tie
family the most tgre cable, as he is
acknowledged by everybody, to be

THE PIE \ BOD H.

At the meeting of the Peabodys last evening,
although O great deal of business was trans
acted, there were few things touched upon Of q
general or public character.
The committee appointed to visit Freetown
reported TINT they had found great deal Of
restitution In TINT section Of the right bank of
the river and recommended that assistance
be extended to them, through the Messrs,
Ford. of that place.
The report having been adopted. 1t was agreed
that each member should donate one Of his
tickets in order to supply the Freetown suffer-
ers with 1900 ratinns.
4 communication from the relief committee
Of CarrolltOn Was received, thanking the Pea
bodys for the tickets voted them.
An interesting debate occurred relative to the
destitution existing In the city, not only among
those made indigent in direct consequence OF
the fever but also among others who were de-
barred OF the ability Of making q living, or
