A Terrible Threat,

The standing joke on the medical profession finally appears in this form used by a member of "the faculty itself, and quite as effectively as wittily to his own advantage.
 A wag, having had a nice fat office for many years undisturbed, suddenly found himself called to account for some triiing discrepancies, and dismissed. In q terrific rage he left the scene of his disgrace, and, shaking his fist at the witnesses against him, exclaimed
 ''This is not the end of it |! The con- sequences be upon your own heads if this results in murder P
 He was at once arrested for threaten ing the life of witness, but was re- leased amidst shouts of laughter, when he explained, saying:
 "Gentlemen, am regularly gradu- ated physician. In the twenty years have held office my profession has been sadly neglected. In consequence of present necessity am forced to resume that profession to support myself"
 It is safe to say that he did not win patients from among his audience by his frank confession, if he did get the laugh on his enemies.

Too We'll Paid For That.

Sam Slick tells the following story of an old admiral whom he knew at Hali- fax: On one occasion attended divine service with him, on board of his mag nifcent flagship, the Graball. The discipline in those days was dreadfully severe, and, I may add, unmerciful. The men were punished so often and so cruelty, that they became desperate, and mutiny and desertion were things of frequent occurrence. Scarcely day passed without the loss of man; and even the extreme penalty of death, which was the inevitable consequence of such crimes, did not check their de- sire to escape from the service. The chaplain took the opportunity to preach against such assertion, and selected for his text the eleventh verse of the sixth chapter of Nehemiah, And I said, should such man as I flee ?" He en, larged upon the duty of sailors to be obedient to those who were set in au- thority over them, and to continue true to their engagements, and enforced every exhortation by repetition of his text. He then concluded by an elo- quent appeal to their feelings; first eulogizing their coolness and intrepid ity in danger, and then calling upon them to stand by their king and coun- try, and maintain the honor of both, and slowly and emphatically reiterated, "And I said, should such man as I flee ?"-"No," said a voice which arose from among the marines, and was evi- dently the effect of ventriloquism- "no, blast you you are too we'll paid for that p A loud, long-drawn breath ing was audible among the men, who, feeling that something atrocious had been done, which in all probability would be followed by some terrible retribution, while an ill-suppressed tit- ter was heard among the junior officers, at the suddenness and quaintness of the retort. The chaplain paused and looked at the Admiral, and the Admiral glared at the men, as if he could annihilate them all. Immediate inquiry was made and the strictest examination of every individual instituted, accompanied by positive declaration that the whole ships company should be whipped, unless the culprit was given up. The secret, however, was never divulged, nor the threat of indiscriminate punishment carried into effect.

His Interest in the Boy.

It is pity that humanity should ever have a mercenary motive. But for 8 nature so sordid as to be incapable of any higher regard for another's life and welfare such a motive is better than none.
 Anegro boy, says the Galveston Ne,Os, came very near being run over by the locomotive of the special train. Had it not been that an old negro, at the risk of his own life, seized the boy by the collar and jerked him backward just as the cow catcher reached him, he would undoubtedly have been cut to pieces. A gentleman who witnessed the heroic act said to the old negro
 "I suppose you are the father of that boy ?"
 ''No, sah hls fodder libs out in de country, and sends de boy to town to get his editicatlon. De boy boards wid me, ,-sah."
 "You seem to take great deal of in- terest in him."
 "Indeed, does, sah. His fodder owes me foah two munfs board ob dat boy; so you see dis aint de right time foah him to be run ober by de kears. ,
