In a village not a hundred miles from Phila- delphia, resided the met. Mr. Lopes aor wee had the toral charge of a very ie erecta my and was highly esteemed = them; but there was one thing in which he did not give general satisfacton, and in consequence of which many excellent members of hia ehyrch felt seriously seandalized. ea on ps a in a temperance society, nor it his glass i ine when he felt inelived to take it. bt is only fair to sey, however, that such spirituous indulgences were not of frequent oecurrence. Jt was more the principle ef the thing, as he said, that he stood upon, than any thing else, that prevented his signing a temperance pledge Sum lry were the attac!s, both open aad se- etet, to which the Kev. Mr. Manlius was sub- jected, and many were the discussions into which he was drawn by the advocates of total abstinence. His mode of argument was very summary. “1 would no more ign a pledge not to drink b-an ly than [ would sign a pledge not to steal,”” was the position he took. **{ wish to be free to choose good or evil, and to act right because it is wrong to do otherwise. I do not find fault with others for signing a pledge. nor for ab- staining from wine. If they think it right. it speak. This is a serious matter, and we should like to have your authority for a statement so injurious to the reputation of the minister and the cause of religion.”’ “My authority was Mr. Burton, who was present.’” “Did he tell you that Mr. Manlius was In- toxicated ?’’ “He said there wasa drunken minister thore, and Mr. Manlius, [ have ascertained, was the only clergyman present.” “* Was that so’ ° asked the deacon of an in- dividual who was at Mr. Reeside’s. ‘‘ Mr. Manlius was the only elergyman there,”” was replied. ‘ Then,’’ said Perkins, ‘ If there wasadrank- en minister there, it must have been Mr. Man- lius. I can draw no other inference.” “Can Mr. Burton be found ’”’ was now asked. An individual immediately volunteered to go in search for him. In half an hour he was pro- duced. Ashe entered the grave assembly, he looked around with great composure bs ey the 'y array of solemn faces and eyes intently fixed upon him. He did not appear in the least abashed. “Yom were at Mr. Reeside’s last week, at a dinner-party, [ believe?” said the presiding deacon. is right for thom.

Sign it, I say, in the name of Heaven; but do not sign it because this, that, or the other temperate man has signed it, but because you feel it your only hope. De it for yourself, and do it if you fre the only man in ths world who acts thus. Zo sign because another man whom you think More respectable has signed, will give you little ornostrength. You must do it for yourself, nd because it is right.” The parson was J psd ready with the tongue, and rarely came off second best when his oppo- nents di him into a controversy, altho his argumonta were called by them, when he was not present, ‘“ mere fustian.”’ His love for wine and brandy is at the bottom of all this hostility to the temperance cause, was boldly said of him by individuals in and gut of his church. But especially were the members of other churches severe upon him. * He'll turn out a drunkard,”’ said one. “I shouldn't be surprised to see him stagzger- ing in the streets before two years,”’ said an- othe! oan Burten appeared to grow strongly ex- ¢ a ** I say so,”’ cried Perkins, in a loud yoice. F pao say 80? and pray upon what authori- y? “Upon the authority of your own words.”” “ Never.” . “ But you did tell me so.”” Perkins was much excited. “When?” “On the day after the dinner party. Don't you remomber what you said to me?” “ Ob yes—perfeotly.”” al That you had drunken minister at din- ner?”’ “No, I never said that.”* “ But you did, I can be qualified to it.”” ‘I said we had a‘ tipsy parson.’ “ And, pray, whatis the difference?” At the words “tipsy parson,”’ the minister burst into a loud laugh, and so did two or three others who had been at Mr. Reeside’s. The gore deacon in the chair looked around with rowning wonder at such indecorum and felt that espusiatly ill-timed was the levity of the minister. “Ido not understand this,’ he said with great gravity. ican explain it,” remarked an individual, rising ‘*as lL happened to be at Mr. Reeside’s and know all about the ‘ tipsy parson.’ The cook ef our kind hostess, in her culinary inge- nuity, furnished a desert, which she called “tipsy parson,’—made, I believe, by soaki: sponge cake in brandy and pouring a oustar over it. It is therefore true, as our friend Burton has said, that there was a ‘tipay par- son’ at the table; but as for the drunking min- ister of Mr. Perkins, I know nothing.”’ Never before, in a grave and solemn assem- bly of deacons, was there such a sudden and universal burst of laughter, such a holding of sides and vibration of bodies, as fallowed this unexpected speech. In the midst of theleonfu- sion and noise, Perkins quietly retired. Le has been known, ever since, in the villago, much to his chagrin and scandalization, he still & warm temperance man, as the “tipsy par- son.” ”” “There goes the ‘tipsy parson,’ ’’ he hears said, as he paases along the street, a doxen timea 4 week, and he is now seriously inclined to leave the village in order to eseape the ridi- cule his over-zelous effort to blast the minis- ter’s reputation has called into existence. As for the Rev. Mr. Manlius, ke often tells the story, and laughs over it as heartily us any one. “* He does more harm to the temperance cause than ten drunkards,”’ alleged a third; while others S “Isn't it seandalous?”’ * He's a disgrace to his profession!” “* He pretond to have religion!” “ A minister, indeed!” And so the changes rang. All this time, Mr. Manlius firmly maintained his ground, taking his glass of wine whenever it suited him. At last, after the occurrence of a dinner party given by a family of some note in the piace, at which the minister was present, and at which wine was circulated freely, 2 rather scandalous report got abroad, and soon went buzzing all over the village. A young man who made no secret of being fond of his glass, and who was at the dinner party, met, on the day after, ® warm advocate of temperance, and a member of adiflerent denomination from that in which Mr. Manlius was a minister, and said to him, with mock gravity— “We had a raru avis at our dinner party yesterday, Perkins.”’ Iudeed' What wonderful thing was that?”’ “A tipsy parson.” “* A what?”’ The man’s eyes became instantly almost big as saucers “A tipsy parson “ Whe? Mr. Mantius “LE dida’t say so. [ call no names.” “ He was prevent, I know; and drank wine, I am told, like a fish.’ ~ I wasn't aware, before, that fishes drank wine, d the man, gravely It was Maulius, wasn't it?” urged the other I call no names.”’ was repeated. “I said that we had a tipsy parson—and so we had. I prove it befure a jury of a thousand, if necessary. “It's no more than I expocted,”’ said the temperance man—“‘ he’s a were wine-bibber at best. He pretend to preach the gospel! I won- der he isn’t struck dead in the pulpit.”” The moment his informant left him, Perkins started forth to communicate the astoundin intelligence that Mr. Mantias had been ai 4 the day before, at Mr. Keeside’s dinner party. ¥rom lip to lip the seandal flew, with little less than eleotric quickness. It was all over the village by the next day. Some doubted, some denied, but the majority believed the story—it was so likely to be true. This occurred nesp.the close of the week, and Sunday arrived before the powers that be in the church were able to confer upon the sub- jret, and cite the minister to appear and an- swer fur himself on the scandalous charge of drunkenness. There was an unusual number ot vacant pews during service, both morning and afternoon. Monday came, and early in the day a com- mittee of two deacons waited upon Mr. Man- lias, and informed him of the report in cireula- tion, and of their wish that he would appear before them on the next afternoon, to give an account of himself, as the church deemed the matter far tw serious to be passed lightly over The minister was evidently a good deal sur- prised and startled at this, but he neither denied the charge nor attempted any palliation, merely saying that he would attend, of course “Its plain that he’s guilty,’ said Deacon Jones to Deacon Todd, as they walked with suber faces away from the minister's dwelling. as * was eagerly inquired. ene Fanyy Eusster.—Most of us remember Mademoiselle Fanny Elssler, who set the tash- ion, now socommon, of quitiing European for American boards. sepsis i sar career Was not Jong, but it was extremely brilliant. Her beauty, her grace, her elegance, the marked individuality of her dancing, her wonderful talents as a mime, and her charming, sprightly, expressive face, made her universally popular. Her fame, perhaps, acquired new interest to some persons from the ular rumor which assve ated her name with the I-futed Duke de Reichstadt, (sou of Napoleon and Maria Louise,) although she invariably assured her more in- timate friends that it was an idle piece of ssip, without the least foundation. ft was late in 1534 that Fanny Elssler made her appearance in Paris, and the history of her engagement is a rather curious bitof stage history. Fanny, with her sister Therese, was playing at London when her fame reached France, nud manager of the Grand Opera posted over to see u: at foun- dation the ramors were raised. He came, saw, and wasconquered. Mudlle. Fanny Elssler was very anxious for an engagemont at Paris, but Maile. Therese was afraid of that city and these indecision rendered the manager’s negotiations a very delicate affair. While they were vacil- lating between a small salary, very irregularly paid, at London, and eight thousand dollars, and punctuality, in Paris, he gave them a grand banquet at the Clarendon [otel, and served them up, with the dessert, a silver dish con- taining forty thousand dollars worth of jewels and diamonds, which was handed round to the uezts as if it contained but so many pea nuts Fine sisters selected each one of the most modest trinkets in the dish—though these bagatelles were worth two thousand dollars apieceo—and, to the gratification of the manager, signed an engagement, after Mdlle. Therese’s fears had been satisfied by the insertion of a provision that the engagement of three years might be ended ~ Pisin’ Yes—it’s written jn his face,” re-| at will at the expiration of the first fifteen turned Deacon Todd. ‘So much for opposi mouths. Mdile. Therese did not come to temperance reforms and drinking wine. It’s] Ameriea with her sister, and we are informed @ jadgment upon him.’ . ~ Bat what a scandal to our chureh !”’—said Deacon Jones. “ Yea—think of that. He must be suspended, am not restored until he signs the ple: id “I don't believe he'll ever do that.”’ « Why not ?”’ “People say he would cut off his right hand rst.?? “ People are very fond of cutting their right hand, you know. My word for it, this will do the businees fur hi: He will be glad enough that we lost s great deal by her absence, as Mille. Fanny was never go brillant as when her sister was at her side! The two different talents completed each other and made a har- monious group of an exquisite perfection. — Both 7 these ee dancers have retired from the s' , the possessors of very lar; fortunes.

And so the two deacons acttled the matter. On the next day, in grave council assembled, were all the deacons of the ehurch, besides sundry individuals who had come as the min- ister’s friends or accusers. Perkins, who bad put the report in cireulation, was there, at the special request of one of the deacons, who had ascertained that he had as mueh, or little more to say, in the matter than any one. Perkins was called upon, rather unexpeoted- ly, to answer one or two questions, immediately on the opening of the mevting, but as he was a staunch temperance man, and cordially de- rpised the minister, he was bold to reply. “ Mr. Perkins,” suid the Psidiag deacon, “ as far 83 we cau learn, tis seandaloua charge originated with you—did you say that the Rev.
