We have heard an excellent story of a rev- erend gentleman, once a citizen of Pittsburg. He was what the ladies called a “dear good man,"’ and the young misses ‘a duck of a fel- low.’ His charity was not confined to those who were his immediate followers, and in all the private relations of life he bore the charac- ter of an honest and upright man. It is said, however, that he possessed a v olent temper, and when anything disagreeable ocourred be- haved in a manner by no means clerical. On one oceasion, a member of the sep ay 2 tion as passionate as kimself, reproved him for using language in the pulpit highly improper in itself, and altogether unbecoming one pro- fessedly devoted to the service of his Divine Master. The clergyman replied that he was governed by his own sense of propriety, and that he would permit no puppy to apoak to him in that manner. ; To this, a blow was the only reply. A dread- ful fight was the consequence, which continued for the space of thirty minutes, at the end of which time the layman was compelled to cry, ++ Hold. enough!” The battle ended. and the preacher, injured face, walked home in triumph. News of the quarrel spread like wildfire through the congregation. Old ladies put on their bonnets and ran all over the city to hear the particulars; fast young men called on the reverend gentleman, complimenting him high- ly for having behaved so well, and left him with the assurance of their regard and distin- guished consideration. The Sunday following the church was filled to excess—all anxious to hear the minister's explanation. People of all ranks, all condi- tions. men, women and children, saints and sinners, prof 3 of the manly art of self-de- fence, all individuals who until thet time knew not what the inside of a church was made of. were assembled there. Just as the great bell struek for the last time, the clergyman entered the church. Deliberate- ly he wended his way to the pulpit, and calmly contemplated the scene before him. The choir sang the psalm commencing with— ~* Biest is the man who shuns the place Where sinners love to meet.’” After which the preacher made a short and fervent prayer. He then took his text, and de- livered the following address, which was handed to us by a gentleman who was present : « Brethren—We are commanded to lore our enemies, and to respect those who despitefully use us. Itisour duty todoso. Forgiveness is the finest quality in the christian character. It distinguishes him from all others, and causes him to be looked upon with respect and admi- ration. He who is able to forgive an jnjury, is more than a man, because he rises far ahora his fellows, and is conscious of possesting parts to which others are strangers. In my short, checkered career, I have always endeavored to ovetiook every little injury I have received. In most instanees I have been successful—thus Proving that the immortal and the ebristian arises far above the mere man. But, my dear brethren, it bas not always been the case. Frequently my proud heart and violent pas- sions prevail over the command of wisdom and the voice of pradence. A few days since I for- got my position and struck an offender. I am well aware that we are commanded, when =. on ae it check, os left ; an ly thi it proper to dos0; but, m: bre: 4 when @ man nderades to cave = ~~ Lam there!’ he sporting characters present gave three terrific yells, which ereated so much confusion that the services immediately concluded for the day. MISTAKING A LOCALITY. Mr. John Stevens, a spruce counter hopper who goes into fits at the sight of a fellow no- dressed up to the fashionable standard, came home to his dwelling, in a neat court inthe north part of the city. and discovered a gen tleman in a dirty drab suit, seated quite cosily on his new sofa. Mr. Stevens looked at the individual with a feeling of rising disgust, and ing that he was a stanger. addressed im with the appropriate query : * Do you wish to see me, sir ‘No, Idid not, in particular,’ anawered the the other, ‘but since you are here, sit down and make yourself comfortable.”’ ~ I geuerally do, sir, ia my own bouse,”’ an- swered Mr. Stevens. * Four bouse’ You are drunk,”’ answered the gentiemen in dra oe me —— you vagabond—your house! bah ?”’ nervoualy delicate dry goods man was struck allina heap. He was greatly inclined to get angry, but the stranger had a particu- larly savage twinkle in his eye. and was in fact one of the persons whom nervous gentlemen would rather not get angry with, if they ean help it| Mr. S. wes somewhat relieved by the entrance of his wife. “Betsey,” said the stranger. mistaking Mrs. 5. for his own spouse, “give that little loafer some cold vittles and let him go.”’ Mra. S. stared. ‘Don't be stingy. my love,’ returned the speaker; ‘let him have a bit of cold meat and turnipe—or whatever you've got. You needn't think to get anything to drink here, mister— we are all tectotalers.”’ There was something in the gentleman’s air, manner and general appearance which seemed to —— this report, as far as he was con- cer with an Mr. S. is ge out and brought in a near neighbor of his, who belongs to the poliee de- partment “Don’t tell me,”* snid the stranger, in reply to the officer's arguments; “think I don’t know my own house’ Ain't that my wife?

Callin after awhile, and [ will argufy the mat- ter all over, from stem to stern.”’ The officer made a signal of forbearance to Mr. 3. The stranger stretehed out on the sofa and was as tight asa top in two minutes. A furniture car was produced, and the stranger, Mr. Jacob Watkins, was cleared out. It was difficult to persuade him, this morning, that he bad mode a mistake “If it wern’t my house,”’ said Jacob, “it was as much like it as one watch box is like another; and as for the woman, I’m blamed if she ain’t my Bet over again; that tap-bor - nose I could have aworn to on a stack of Bibles as high asa church steeple "—Philadelphia Mercury ene Jest Savep Hixse.r.—A is old gentle- man, one of the eather thccatx ere chee into the field tocatch a mare that was wont to bear him to town.

Jim Powers, with a face ra- diant with smiles—about tograsp the glittering Prize of suecess—certain of a complete triump! and easy victory, and that the character of his client would be fully vindicated—without em- barrassment, rises and begins in a “ hifalutin”’ strain about the injuries which his unfortunate client has sustained al dy, and of the great wrong which the plaintiff was seeking, “by your verdict, gentlemen of the jury, forever to puton him. Gentlemen, look at the testimony, and then sce how the counsel for the plaintiff. with the most castiron countenance that was ever made, perverted the testimony, and in order to lead you astray and make you believe that he was right, looked as pleasing as a basket of chips. - But,”’ said Jim, *« what havewe to fear?

So, up he jumps and squall out : ~ Hold! Squire Powers, hold! ‘That’s all fiddle-faddle, sir! Ilet you know, sir, that we have got a court of our own here. Gentlemen of the jury, go out and fetch in a verdict for the plaintiff, and put a stop to such tomfuolery!”’ He wrned round to Sandford E., who was sitting close by, and said, in an under tone, [know but d—d little law, but I am h— on jestice.”’ Squire Powers was completely nonplussed. He tried to explain, but the more he aaid the fiercer grew his Honor. Jim, at length, modest- y intimated that a billof exceptions would be jemanded. “Bill of hell!” roared Lister. “Appeal from my court!

The following is extracted from his last letter : “It’s a free institution—filled with ‘dead heads.” Professor wished to feel of my head. Told me to uncover. Told him to feel of it with my haton. The hat was felt. I then took it off. He examined my wig. Said he knew there was something in my head—L was full of life. Hoe dwelt a long time on a bump caused by the sidewalk Suey easiest it while I was taking my room imate home from a primary election (rootma mate was very drunk on that occasion. He thought he was taking me home. [had an awful headache next morning. I felt dragged out.) Professor said largeduups denoted great inquisitiveness. Said [had a searching wind. Told me to search if Thad a quarter in wy yeket. Called that experimental phrenology. rofessor—after I had mentioned my name— conducted me around the museum. Showed me all the heads. Some were plaster casts. Said they cast lots. Told him I was opposed to gambling. (He looked bewildered.) Showed me the skull of Mulligan. Mulligan was an acrobat. Made his last appearance on a tight rope at the City Prison for the benefit of the ublic. Broke his neck in the performance. Next, showed me the skulls of men killed in wars. Professor observed asa curious fact that those slain in battle were generally aged— having balled heads. In the nextrow was the skull of a boatman; it was not for sale; it looked ordinary. Poor fellow! he has run his race. We next paid our attentions to the females. They were seemingly old maids—being laid on the shelf. in tiers. I couldn’t tell them from the heads of the males. Professor said they had a little more jaw. He did not speak of their sighs. As [ was about departing I no- ticed a curious shaped skull. I took it up, ex- elaiming— how wonderfully and fearfully are we made! + Put that down,’ said the Profes- sor; ‘it belongs to me.’ It was marked * Baboon.’ Cnanves Dickexs ox Honsex.—I object to the personal appearance of the horse. I pro- test against the conventional idea of beauty as attached to that animal. I think his nose too long, his forehead too low, and his legs (except in the case of the cart-horse) ridiculously th n by comparson with thi of his body gain, considering how big. nimal he is, I object to the contemptible delicacy of his constitution. Is he not the sickliest creature in creation? does any child catch cold as easily asa horse? Does he not sprain his fetlock, for all his appearance of superior strength, as easily as I sprained my ancle? Furtherwore, to take him from another int of view, what a helpless wretch ho is? o fine lady requires more constant waiting-on than a horse. Other animals can make their own toilette; he must havea groom. You will tell me that this is because we want to make his coat artificially glossy. Glossy! Come home with me, and see my cat—my clever cat, who can groom herself! Look at your own ! see how the intelligent creature curry- comts himself with own honest teeth? Then, again, what a fool the horse is—what a poor nervous fool? He will start ieces of white aper in the road as ifit wasalion. His one idea, when he hears a noise he is not accustomed to, is to run away from it. Whatdo you say to these two common instances of the sense and courage of this absurdly overpraised animal? I migbt maltiply them to two hundred. if I chose to exert my mind and waste my breath, which I can neverdo. I res eoesing at oe to my last charge against the horse, which is the most seri- ous of all, because it affects his moral character. I secuse bim boldly, in hiseapacity of servant to man, of slyness and treachery. I brand him publicly, no matter bow mild he may look about tbe eyes, or how sleek he may be about the co it,as & systematic betrayer, whenever he can get the ehance, of the confidence reposed in bim.
