WORLDLY WISDOAL The winter is closing in uvon the clergymen of this country with the most appalling severi- ties. A season of incessant aud piuless dona- tion parties has been arranged by many of the denowinations, and the prospect is that hun- dreds of ministers who are not ableto keepa dog, and dou’t know Lo to fire a zun, will per- ish from starvation. + Brandy, I hope,” murmured a sailor on a ert isle, when bhe stooped to pick up a larre bortle which the waves had washed to his +t Beer, 1 expect,” be suid softly, pausing bla 1eet i Iis labor of tugging at a somewhat obstinate .ork. i “Tracts, by Ji ' he indignantiy ex- ed, when thé ediying but scurcely con- contenis ol the task were exposed to . G. H. W. Crockett, of Austin, Nev., has an Inuiun employed in_ choppinz wood at’ his resi- Cen.e, and that the aioressid is an aborigine who ues through the world with bis eyes open is cvidenced by what 1s as fullows narrated: Yesterday (Sunday) the Indiax: refused to chop anv wood, and when Mr. Crockett asked him the reason of his refusal be replied: **Heap ne work Sunday. ail same white man; heap play poker.” Jim evideutly recognizes Sunday as a day of rest in its full sense. In a Connectivur district school a few days ginee, a- little boy, 6 years old, was scen to whisper, but denied doing so when reproved by cher. He was tcld to remain after hen the teacher, tryine to impress upon his youthful mind the sintuiness of not the truih, asked him if they did not the Sunday-school where ‘bad boys went who told falsehvods. Choking with sobs hesaid: **Yes, marm: it is a place where there is a fire, bat I don't just remember the name of the town.” Anold megro named Pete was very much troubled about his sivs. O, massa I'm such agreat sinner!”” “But, Pete,” sald Lis macter, *you are foolish to take it so much to heart.” «1 know de reason, massa,” said Pete: *“when you zo duck-shooting and’ kil oue duck and wound another, don’tyou run afterthe wounded duck?” “Yes, Pete,” said the master, wonder- ing what was coming next. - Well, massa, that is the way wid vou and me; de debbil has got you sure; but as he am not sure ob me, he chases dis chile all de time.” A dergyman, while composing a sermon, madeuse of the words ‘“ostentatious man.” Throwmg down his pen, he wished to satisly ‘himselt, ere Lie proceeded, as to whether a great ‘ortion of his coner it comprebend the meaning of these words, and he adopted the following method of proof: Ringing the bell, the footman_apoeared, and he was thus ad- dressed by his master: ““\What do you concelve to be implicd by au ostentatious man?’ ‘‘An ostentatious man, sir,” said Thomas; “\\;h_v, sir, 1 should say a periect gentleman.” ‘Very good,” observed the ,viear; *‘send Ellis (the coactinan) bere WEllis,?” said_the viear, ywhat do you imagine an ostentatious man to 7w AD ostentatious man, sir,” replied El- lis, “whv, I should say an ostentatious man means what we call, saving your presence, avery jolly fellow.” 1t is hardly necessary to add that the vicar substituted a less ambiguous word. The following curious and suggestive adver- tiscment appeared in a recent number of the Boston Advertiser: * ““The Itev. Henrs Morgan Sunday evening, in Morgan Choel, at 743 v'clock.

There was a funny affair in_ the First Presby- jan Church, oi Cincinnati, last Suuday. Dr. Skinuer, the pastor, {or some reason has always objucted to congregational sin%'ln_y,'n( the dox- ologyat the close ol service, althoush the ma- jority of the churen members favorea that zood old custom of closmyg the scason of divine wor- ship. At last certain influential citizens, mem- bers of the church, took the matter in band, and, through the Chairman of the Music Com- itice, directed Mr. Osborne, the orzanist, 1o play the doxology at the close of the service, before the benediction, Mr. Osborne stated to Mr. Winslow and Mr. Wilshire, aud otbers, that Dr. Skinner forbade it; ut the gentlemen in- sisted, and told hun to go onwith the doxulogy, the pastor to the coutrary notwithstanding. Mr. Osborne considered the pronunciamento of the Chairman of the Music Comwmittee as fival, 50 far as he was concerned, and pre- pared to obey. During the reading of the st hymn at Sunday service he wn'ormed the choir that the doxolo«y would be sung imme- uately ufter the elose of the hymn. Dr. Skin- ner overbeard the remark, and prepared to eir- cumvent this attemut to go_ contrary to his directions. As the Just stiains of the hymun died away, he spraug up in the attitude of de- livering the benediction. Mr, Osborne saw ity and it was thew a strugule to see waich should get in lus work first, the pastor with blessing, or Toe organist with bis doxvlogy. Both stood by thetr colors, aud buth started off tozether, and there was 2 muneling of doxology and benedic- tion for a2 moment, ul the pastor paused. and makiue 2 rapia flauk wovenient on the organ, ordered the player to stop. The player insisted, there beinz, apparently, no doxoloey ¢ stop ¥ it thatorran. But in auuther momens the tune was knocked out of time by a thunderous order to * Stop tius mument,” aud the friehtencd or- granist stopped. Then the pastor disiissed the cougregatiom witha blessing.

BOSTON. A Witty New Ycrker Comes to the Hub and Introduces & New Fashion. Traditional Boston and Young Boston at Odds. -Its I'he Radical Club’s New Art Club Wide Basis. A Little Genius—Sara Jowett and Her « ° “®anicheff” Gowns, From Our Own Correspondent. Bosrox, Oct. 81.—A witty New Yorker speak- ine of Boston to me the other day said afrilyy « I have noticed that the wise fashion now is for the stranger to abuse Boston sccond-hand, in this style: *I have always heard Boston critl- vised as being 2 very inhospiable place for strangers; people exclusive, and wanting to kuow about your grandfather and all that sort of thing. But really I have uever found it s0. 1like Boston, and I have found the people auy- thing but ivhospitable. I enjoy mysell verv much in Boston!” This is a very wise fashion, and | am making use of it on every possible ocesslon myself.” And the airy New Yorker smiled an {nscrutable smile, and nodded wiclkedly over the points of his shirt-collar. Five minutes after I heard him putting the-* wise sasbion ** to proot. He was addressing himself to a Boston dowager, with her gray hair, or somebody’s ¢lse gray hair, piled up puff upon pufl upon the the top of her head. And at her look of acceptance, at her look of approval, as the New Yorker delivered himsell of this lit- tle speech, I immediately went over to his esti- mute of tue wisdom contuined in it. TIUE OLD TRADITION OF WORLDLY TIINGS wus in her mind, as it is in everybods’s mind in 1egard to the **modern Athens.” That 1t is the hot-bed of exclusiveness. That to enter its dragou-guarded gates is 1o Lold a talisman be- fore which Royalty might bow graciou: And here was a stranger, a profane New Yorker, '<2\|ul the Ly to whomn the gates yielded withoue a creak. Happy man! And m the eyes of the dowager, as there would be in the eyesof every tradition- believing Bostonian, there was a balo of the bluest biue encircling the bead of this stranger who taliced so glibly of bis ignorance o1 the be- luved city’s inhospitality. Later, my wise and witty Gothamite beamed over hig'success. ** You see how wellit worked,” he commented gleefully. Which 1 aqmitted. But, vutside of all this, there is a younger Bos- ton who is NOT TIED TO THE APRON-STRINGS OF THAT OLD MOTHER-GOOSE TRADITION,— a younger Boston who doesn’t care in the least for Georgze Ticknor and the old Beacon street set of whish he wasu representative, but who has an irreverent way of speaking of them as *‘those worthies.” To these, Emer- son, and Alger, und John Weiss ar2 infinitely bewier compang, and, instead of belleving in tradition, te is rather apt to disbelieve in it, and to Juok askauce at a*very blue name, with an expression that asks, *Does he know anvthitg out of the old rutst” Aund here 1s the watch- word, the open scaame to Young Bostow’s gates: “What does be know!” and then “What has he done?” If the lirst question can be answered satisfactorily; if the candidate is versed in all the dead and gone lore of the dend aud wone aves; if he cav read Sanserit and talk iearnedly of the ** African Fathers," wodern thrown in, and descant glibly of Darwin, and iuxley, and Svencer, cte.. he may have the freedom of Young Boston’s world, though his clothes are cut in the tashion of Noal’s, and Ilis grandfathers were nothing and nobody. Add to this the accomplishment of some pitrpose, the fixed and tangible result, such s & book toowise for common folk to read more :han the title, and Youur Boston does more than welcome the stranger.— NIE AND SUE JOTFULLY FLING OUT THEIR ARMS TO HIM, and receive him with sounding acclaim. The fashion of clothes is of no earthly consideration, and grandfathers sare unthought of. Encireled with that divine nimbus of *“cultur ' and ac- complished resuit, the candidate takes the lead of all the brue-blood in the world, and where he sits i3 the nealof the table. All the clubs in the city are proud to open their doors to him, cum and other associations, for are nuch tal kind—a Professor fromsume fnstitution abroad whose name escapes me, but which is yet un- knowan in Amerfea—comes quietly into the city vother day witha letter of iutroduction from one of Lgc great names, with an indication of the bearer’s learning and wisdom, aund a book or so on some abstruse subject, and stralzht- way we mav expect parlor doors and clab doors over which Youne Boston has control to swing wide for his entering. But, to leave t: ¢ candidate and his Jearning, let me say a word of clubs. First, as one of th oldest, of the Radical Club, which Mr. Josepit Cook two weeks ago pronounced dead with that unctuous e: asis wanich takes the place of truth with him on most occasions. IN A WEEK OK TEN DAYS THIS CLUB, whose obituary has been so emphatically de- livered, will open its winter gession in the same ola parlors where for so many years it has held its mectings. Already an arrangement is under way to secure not only the speskers who have made the fame of the Club, but_several new lights. Col. Higginson, who, since the death of his wile,has broken up his home in New- port to reside with a sister in’ Cambridze, will now, as in the carlier days of the Club, be a con- stant attendant,~—a fact which membersand vis- itors who have had occasion to Lear how he brought the lively skirmishing spirit to bear upon the heavy artillery when it ot grounded upon the rocks of radical dissent, will be glad to know. Thereis also another club in the prog- ress of agitation, if not by this time in forma- tion, of a very different nature {romn the Radical Club, though it is to convene in the Chestnut Street Parlors. This1s to be an art club, which will embrace not only what is ordinarily accept- ed under that title, but literature us well. Out of this we shall get talks about painting and sculpture, poetic recitations, and dramatic rep- resentations,—a wide fleld enough, it would seem, to cover all peeds. _And, many as are the art und literary clubs in_Boston, this new one, under the broad supervision which at present is indicated, will meet a really great waut. For the others are confined to a set,—a small circle, —and to visit thems one must either trust to the acceident of acquaintance with a member, or himsclf become a member. ‘Tne new club will be open to ull visiting stran- gers of cither sex who belong to the guild of art or letters, though it will have its organized con- stitutfon and regular membership ot a limited number, with a yearly fee to sustain it. This will more than take the place of the social par- tics, receptions, ete., which this year will be given up on account of the death of Mr. Sar- gent. Speaking of recitations brings up BOSTON’S LITTLE GENIUS in that line—Miss Georeia Cayvan. Tne TrIb- GNE aud_its readers will be interested to know that she is making a great hit with that little TRIBUNE gem which aypcurcd a tew weeks ago, “low Oldis Bridget?’ She informed me the other day that it was one of licr best selections. Miss Cayvan, with great natural advantages both of voice, drumatic ability, and personal beauty, has added some close study at the school of oratory, the sult of which is to “make her not only one of the most popalar of the young readers of the day, but one whose promise can be cleariy forescen of something great. Of course the usual prophecies are maule by ber admirers that she only needs to take the stage to succeed as an uctress. And in her case it would secm as if this was pot so unsafe or premature a prophecy as it is in some cases, for n dramatic ability she has a great deal of orig- inal force, and her vuice is something rather re- markable.

Oflate otber rumors are current that be was once upon a time in some way connected with the great diamond-swindle which produced such an excitement at the time in San Francisco. ‘Thelubabitants of Santingo and Valparaiso, and in ushort time the whole coast of Chili, were thrown into a whirl of excitement from a report that Mr. Paraff had discovered a new process of s 501d trom copper ore, mivinz 40 per- cent of Lhis precious metul to 2 per cent by any other known method.

The train moved on, and wiat became of the fellow without funds was not lonz cousidersd. A few weeks subsequently this conduct or wandered mto _an Albany fonsorial parlor to bave the suverfluous beard removed irom his dial, and was motioned toa chalr into which he hastily dropped. The tonsorial pall was svon covered over him and his face besmeared with lather. From adrawer near at band the colured tonsorinlist whipped out a large and glittering razor. As he procecded to tmprove its keen edge on a strop that dangled from the wall he addressed the man in the coair about as follows: “Say, boss, you doesn't know me, does you{” Aunother grand fiourish ot the razor over the strop followed, when the barber continued: “Does you 'member de fellah you lambed irom your train up at Tribes’ Hill two weeks ago?’ As he drew the tool over his thumb nail he remarked, *Dat was a bad thing for you to do, sab, an’ I 'members it well.”. By tuis time the conductor had becu brougzht to a correct realization of his situation, and bounded from the chair und danced around the room with the lather dropping trom his chin and his hair standing on end. ' He was finally persunded to resume his scat upon-the assurance of the knight of the razor that no revenge was fuo- tended. But the razor, glaveing over the con- ductor’s face and caressing lus chio, gave him an uncomfortuble fecling which did not pass away until he breathed tbe free air outside the barber shiop.
