\ Peculiar Clergyman.

Not long since clergyman within iou
thousand miles of the Connecticut River re
signed his charge. He was preacher of NOR,
than average ability, a strong, original thinker
a good writer, and a man of unblemsheC
character
Soon afterward a leading member of hi
church, deacon, was met by Il well know
Hartford divine and something like the annex
ed conversation ensucd:
i was sorry to hear that Brother Blank haC
resigned; | always liked HIM. He is regarded
a. very able man, isn't he"
Well, ye-es' (hesitating) oh, yees, het
an able man
But he is first rate preacher, isn't he:
Well, yes he's very good preacher
And he'es a man of the highest Christie
character, so we have always thought here
Well, yes. Oh, ye-es he's a good Christian.
. But there must be something the trouble
! Deacon? Why do you hesitate so and say
Well yees; has Brother Blank been guilty Of
any thing wrong? | know of "a church that
think he is just the man for, and mean Il
recommend him very highly. Have you any
reason to suppose that he would not give salts
faction
We'll, Doctor, Mr. Blank is all you say abou
him; but I'm afraid he's not calculated t
make a successful pastor in the country
Why not, Deacon? You surprise me very
muSh.'
Well | will tell you one reasOn.--Nlr Blank
lived next to a neighbor whose hens and chick
ems troubled him very much by digging up his
garden. He spoke of it several times, but Il
did no good; those fowls kept in his garden al
the time And what dc you suppose he did
Instead Of shooting some Of them or building
high fence around his garden, he came here
to Hartford and purchased the best game fow
he could find, and took him home and turned
HIM loose in the garden. The next day his
neIghbor heard a great commotiOn among th,
poultry, and when he looked over the fence
there were all his hens and chickens lying in
winrows, and that game fowl walking over the
bodies and growing Now, you can't say that
that was unchristian conduct, but it Vas surely
calculated to destroy Mr.. Blanks usefulness in
that section
And when the Hartford divine heard the full
extent of Brother Blanks offence he roareC
with shoulder shaking laughter, which nigh
have been heard at Talcott Tower, and he said
that any clergyman who could devise so effec
x,ual way of disposing of his neighbours ma
fahding chickens deserved an additional diplo
ma, and he wondered what the proper letter:
should be and whether il should be on sheer

We tell the people that We sell the same

get them in Market street. We do not
buy goods elsewhere and sell them as
"our own warranted and superior man
ufacture," but what we advertise to do
we will do, and the people in the
eastern part Of the city at least, do not
admit that a great favor has been con
fsrred on them by parties supplying
them with the finest and best quality
in the country at manufacturers prices,
but they do admit that they have to
pay more FOR the same quality of goods
than at Seventh and Spruce streets
We are agents for Lauing's celebrated
shoes. of Trenton N. j., a shoe which
we guarantee in every respect to be as
good as any manufactured in this city
and we sell them from Is to 20 per
cent. less at L. Marr's East End boot
and shoe store, s. Z. corner of Seventh

OF a store where they sell very cheap;
You can buy what yon want from boot to a

TINE nIGHTlEsr BATTLES.

on, not upon fortified hill or field, ,.,,
Where ioeman meets with saber and shield,
Are migbties battles fought!
Not amid warfare's wild alarms,
In the roar OF cannon, the clash OF arms,
Are the grandest victories wrought
Look abroad into the earth's sad homes,
Where fierce temptation stealthily comes,
Followed by wan despair
Where souls are assailed by some merciiess
lee
BY sin, hollow.eyed. want or woe,
And mark the conflicts there!
Only God and His angels pure,
Ever can know what they endure,
Who cope with these unseen Toes;
Only heaven with its infinite rest
Can symbol the peace Of the vlctols orea''
When these perilOus conflicts close.
