A3L3 A ESICK. . : A certain College Professor had assembled his class at the commence ment of the term;' and wa3 reading over the list of names to see that all were present. It chanced that one of the number wa3 . nntnown to tne rro fessor, having just entered the class. 'What is your name, sir.' asked the Professor, looking .through his spec tacles. . : ..r.. lTou are a bride, ' was the startling Sir,7 said the Jt'rotessor, halt start ing out of his chair at the supposed impertinence, but not quite sure that he had understood him correctly, ir, I did not exactly understand your an swer. ; . , 'You are a brick was again the com posed reply. . 'This is intolerable!, said the Pro fessor, his face reddening. 'Beware, young man, how you attempt to insult me.' . ' 'In suit you,' said the student, in turn astonished.' 'How have I done it?' 'Did you not say I was a brick?' returned the Professor with stifled in dignation. 5 ' : L ; ; f 'No, sir, you asked me my name, ana 1 answered your question; Uli. A. Brick Uriah Reynolds Anderson Brick. ' ' 'Ah, indeed,' murmured the Profes sor, sinking back into hia seat in con fusion. 'It was a misconception on my part. Will yoa commence the lesson, iIr.ahem! Mr. Urickr: ' COHPLniEJTT TO "J0T72. PETSTEES." John' C. Rive's? in a recently; pub lished letter,' on the subject of public printing, has a word of ; suggestion to writers for the press, and-, of, compli ment to the "jour." whose duty it . not unfrcquently is to make sense out of verv . senseless chiroirranhv.5 None but a. writer, for the daily press, can comprehend how much truth there,, is in the veteran printer's remark. Many members of Congress, and eke not a few greater men, must have been sur prised at the; respectable figure they cut in print, without . thinking of the toihome : labor, and the r exercise of better talent than their 'own, which had been expended by the "jour." printer, m licking into shapo the mes sae, report or speech, furnished by them.. . Mr. Rives says W ' A. "I have seen the manuscript writing of most great men of the country during the past twenty years,, and I think I may say, that no twenty of them cculd stand the test , of the scrutiny of one-half of the journey men printers employed in my office. "This fact will be vouched by every editor in the Union. To the poor "jour." many a "great man" owes his reputation for scholarship, and were the humble type-stickers to resolve, by concert, to set up manuscript m their hands, for een one little week, precisely as it is written by the authors, there would be more reputations slaugh- i tered than their devils could shake a stick at in twenty-four hours, "States men" would become "small by degrees and beautifully less." Many an ass would have the lion's hide torn from his limbs. Men whom the world called writers," would wake up of mornings and find themselves famous as mere pretenders humbugs cheats. .' lOrXHTG A TEA KETTLE. , Which is the most trvins: to a woman a greenhorn of a servant girl, or a stove that "won't draw," the very day she expects company: Mrs. Jones hired, the other day, a Miss McDermott just from Cork. Miss McDermott was ordered to "boil the tea-kettle.: ' "The what?" : "The tea-kettle." , : : i. . ; - : : "An do you mane that?" "Certainlri If I did not I would not Lave ordered you to do it andbc quick about it." '1 '.'Yes marm." , i f Miss McDermott obeyed orders. In about a, half hour afterwards Mrs. Jone3 resumed the conversation; ' ' : "Where's the; tea-kettle, 'Bridget?" "In the dinner pot, marm." "In the what?" - - - "In the dinner pot. You told me to boil it, an I've had a scald on it for nearly an hour." Mr. Jones could hear no more. She had a rush of blood to her head, and went into a swoon. The last we saw of her she was being carried in an arm chair up stairs. : ' In dealing with exotics, you should speak by the card. Had Mrs. Jones told Bridget to boil some tea water, instead of the tea kittle, everything would have come right. Sam Segue once ordered a Melesian to go up street and buy a dollar's worth of "ship stuff." TO" Mlm'F;GEffim INTEEEST ; TO Ho returned with eight shillings' worth of sea-biscuit. "Again wc .say, , speak by the card, and don't use words which have double meanings. : ; AITLCD0TE3 07 AYAHIC3. la Dr. King's Anecdotes of his Own Times, we find the following: , My Lord Harwich, the late Lord Chancellor, who is said- to-be 1 worth 800,000,! sets the same value on half a crown now as he did when he .was only worth 100. That great captain, the Duke of Marlborough, when he vas in' the' last stcgo cf life, and 'vcr infirm, would walk from the public room in Bath to hi3 lodgings, on a cold. dark night, to save a sixpense in chair hire. If the Duke, who lefty at ' his death, more than a million and a, half terling, . could have foreseen that all his wealth and honors, were to be in herited by a grandson of my Lord xictui o, Yiiy uau ucuia uuu ui uia enemies, would he have always saved a sixpense?- - -: , . ' . . ;i Sir James Lpwther, after "changing apiece of silver in George's 'coffee house, and paying for his dish of coffee, was helped into his chariot,' , for he was lame and mfirm, and .went home. Some time after, he 1 returned to the same coffee-house on purpose to ac quaint the woman who kept itHhat she had given him a bad half-penny, and demanded another in exchange for it. Sir James had about1 X48,000 per - - '-i . . . annum, ana was at a loss whom to appoint his , heir. " I know .'one Sir 4.nomas voiDy, wno,uvea m ,rensing- ton, uuu us, x iiiui in iuu y auiuauiig Office; he killed, himself by- rising in the middle of the night, when he was in a profuse sweat, the effect , of a medicine which he had taken' for . that purpose, and walking down stairs to look for the key of his cellar, which he had inadvertently left on a table in his parlor; ; he was apprehcnsivo that his servants might seize the key, and rob him of a bottle of port wine. This man died intestate, and left more than 1,200,000 in the funds, which were shared among five or six day laborers, who were his nearest relations.'! . ; ' Sir Yilliam . Smy the, of Bedford shire, wes one of my own kinsmen.'- When he was neat; seventy ; he was wholly deprived of his sight; he was persuaded to be couched by Taylor, the oculist, who, by agreement, was to have sixty guineas, if . he . restored his patient to any degree of sight. Taylor i.i .. i .

By this means he obliged laylor to compound the bargain, and accept of , twenty guineas; for a. covetous man thinks ilo method dishonest which he mayJ legal ly practice 10 save ins money. LIF2 IS A POWDEE-HiLIi .Dickens thus describes a visit to the powder-mill of Hounslow, near London: In this silent region, amid whose ninety-seven ; work places no human voice ever breaks upon5 the. ear, and where indeed no human form is . seen except in the isolated house in which hi3 allotted task is performed, there 1 are-upward of two hundred and, fifty workmen employed. l hey. are a peculiar race, nor. oi course Dy nature, in most cases, but by the habit of years The circumstances of momentary des the most stringent ana necessary regulations, have subdued their minds and their feelings to the condition of their hire. - There is seldom any ricqd to enforce . these regulations; : Some terrific explosion here, or in works .of a similar kind elsewhere, leaves a fixed mark in their memories, as act3 as a constant warning. Here no' shadows of practical joko of caper of animal spirits ever transpires, no .witticism, no chaffing, or slang. ' A laugh 13 never heard, a smile seldom seen. Even the work is carried on by the men with as few words as possible, and these uttered it. a low tone. . Not that any body fancies that mere sound will awaken the spirit of combustion or cause an explosion to take place, but that, their feelings are always kept subdued. If one man wishes to communicate; one thing to another, or aslc for any thing from Borne body at a short distance, he must go there; he is never permitted to shout or call out. There i3 a particular reason for this last regulation- Amid all this silence, whenever a shout does occur every body knows that some imminent danger is expected the next moment, and all rash away headlong from the direction of , the shout. As to running toward it to offer any assist ance,-'a3 common in all other case3, it is thoroughly understood that none can be afforded.. , An, accident here Js immediately and berond reribdy. - "If the shouting Irtj continued for some time for, a man mighte drown ing in a river that might cause one or two cf the boldest to return; but thi3 would be a very rare occurrence, ji) It h bv-r; ,c::,:.5 to b micrrca in t the men are selfish and, insensible to the perils of eich other;' on the con trary, they have the greatest consider ation for . each other, as well as for their " employers, and think of the danger to the lives others, and of pro perty at stake at all times, and more especially in the more dangerous houses. The proprietors of .the various guhpowdermilla all display the same consideration for each other, and when ever any improvement tending to lessen danger ia made by one it is immediate ly communicated to all others. The wages of the men are good and the hours very short; no artificial lights are ever used in the' work. . They ' leave the mills at half-past three in the after doon, winter and summer. ' sydey sirmrs geehositt. ' . The. following is a beautiful instance of the generosity of that noble-hearted man, Sydney, Smith: , ; J. tl J : t ,.k A perquisite,- of the chapter of St Paul's, the living of Edmonton, worth seven hundred pounds a year, fell to his share on the death of his associate, Mr. 'late: 'According to the usase in such: matters,1 it 'was expected that he would turn the emolument to his own advantage. He generously conferred the whole on the son of the late incum bent. The incident is so characteris tically narrated by him, in a letter ad dressed to' his wife, that it would be injustice to the reader not to present the scene in his own words: "I went over yesterday, to the Tates at Edmon-i ton. The 1 family consists .nf three delicate, daughters an aunt, the old lady, and' her son,' the curate of Ed monton. j The old lady was in bed. 1 found there a physician, an old friend of Tate's, attending them from friend ship, who had come from London for that purpose. They were in daily ex pectation : of being turned ; out from house and curacy. ....... ',1 began r by inquiring the character of their: servant; then turned the conversation upon their affairs and expressed a hope the chapter 'might ultimately do something for them. ; I then said 'It is myduty to state to you they were all assembled that I have given away the living at Edmonton, ; and have written to our chapter clerk this morn ing to mention the person to whom I have given it; and t must also tell you that I 'ami sure; he will appoint his curate. A general silence and dejec tion. It is a very odd 'coincdence,, I added, 'that the gentleman I have selected is a namesake of this family; his name is Tate. Have yoti aily re lations of that name?' 'No, we have not. .And, by a more singular coincidence,-his name -is Thoma3 Tate; in short, 1 added ; 'there is.no .use m mincing the, matter you arc vicar of lldmcntoh They all burst into tears: Itfl ung me, . also, -.into a great" agita tion of tears, and I wept and groaned for a' long - time. ; Then . I rose, and said I thought it was very likely to end in their keeping a buggy, at which we all laughed as violenly." . ,- 5 eJaculatqey prates. It may be proper to interpose a word or two on the subject of ejaculatory prayer; by which wc understand that secret and J generally silent lifting up of the heart to. God, which the Chris tian often proves to he necessary and profitable when he is unable to retire from the society and the business of the world. ;,What supplies of Divine influence" may .be thus obtained! what deliverances from anxiety! what vic tories over ; self and Satan! Enough to say, ,in tho depth of. . the" heart. "Lord, help me!" or, "Lord,! am thine, save me!" even , amid tho hurry . of a harvest-day, or the bustle of the shon. or the excitement and provocations of the market and the fair! ; "A si.ih can reach his ear;" the falling of a tear, or the upward glancing of the. soul, may array on our behalf the resources of Omnipotence. Such application to the Giver of all grace keeps up in us a just senseOf his presence,' oversight, and all-sufficiency, as also of our entire dependence upon him; and so proves a. help to' fidelity, '.watchfulness, : and spirituality.. It serves to counteract the influence of things that are seen and temporal. It nourishes in us that devotional frame which is cssenti.il to ' safety and strength, and which seems THE COMMUNITY to be contemplated in the law which requires . our unceasing supplications. "Prayer is tho wall which compasses the city; there must b3 no gap in it." - - iAA.AAAU iim A The ark. of the covenant, whcz3 lid wa3 "the mercy-seat," was ia the form of a treasure-chest. r It wa3 very simple and unadorned, no way attractive to a careless eye; but with thotable3 of the law, within, with it3 blood-sprinkled imercv-seat above, whereon the eli?rn- rCctcc! ar.rl --rwhicv ?rri the : T.-ii: it;. could not but bs prcciou3 to I-racl. And then it wa3 made 'cf shittim wood, to show in type the human nature of the Lord Jesus; and overlaid with gold, to show that even in his human nature he was full . of glory. Yes, this ' ark ever said, "Behold! behold! this i3 Christ, in whom arc hid all the treasures of "wisdom and knowledge, and you may rest on him as do these cherubim!" ' This ar!: was carried about wher ever-, Israel wandered. This taught them thai they could never do without Christ, wherever they were. It taught them j also, that they need never want Christ; wheresoever they might be led in God's providence, he woufd go,with them. Does it not say to all who take Christ as their treasure, their mercy seat,, their throne of grace, vwhether they.be at' home or abroad, '.whether they be scholars or teachers, ministers or missionaries,' old or young1, ' "Lo! I am.. with . you alway!" llissicnary Record- - V7HAT T7E 0Y7E TO CmilSTIAlinY.", The lato eminent English Judge, Sir James Allen Park, once said "at a public meeting v.:;; ' : 1 -t'. -We live in the midst of blessings till we are utterly insensible of their greatness, and ;of the ; source whence they flow. .

Breathing and Thinking. Let any reader think for a moment of what he experiences when he breathes, and attends to the act. He will find that his whole frame heaves and subsides at the time; face chest, stomachy and limbs "are all actuated by his respira- uoa. -.ow let mm jeei ni3 inougtm, and ho will see that they too heave with the mass.

This is an important question, because -if salt petre exerts ; no' . special preservative influence not to be found in common salt;" then ; it should. not bs used in butter nor in brine cf meat, because it has a bitter taste, and it must impart more of jess; of it to butter especially. We have been assured; by those who have packed butter with and .without saltpetre, that it is much better not to use it for this purpose. The bcstnlan of salting butter is, to use the purest salt only; heat it on the fire before using it, to drive off all the moisture, and apply it warm, when working the butter Cure. tot.
