boarding for six months, but kept them-
selves entirely secluded from the good
people of the villa_:e. Some calls were
made upon them, but the well meant ef-

the lady declined seeing all company.

Doctor—“l went to her room, and while

politely as he had bowed himself into it.
The next Saturday afternoon the Doc-
tor attended to a summons front the elders.
The examination was short. 'laking up
the enquiry where the ladies had left it,
the chairman inquired of the Doctor, “iflie
had actually embraced at the hotel, and if
so, who 7."
“l embraced no person, sir.”
“Did'ni you confess as much to Mrs.
Leslie and the other ladies i"
“No, brother Slim, l was about to say to
them that when in the lndy‘s room, I ”
‘_'\'Vh:it, sir 7.”
“l ernbraced the opportunity to draw a
tooth for her,” and he pulled it out of his
pocket.
The doctor was acquitted, lint this did
not prevent the appointment of a commit-
mittee of ladies to call and examine Mrs.
Volkenbiirfs jaw.
Many years ago a group of persons
were assembled at a private house in a
certain town in the northern part of Vor-
inont, for the purpose of liolding what they
termed a “religious conference.” The
good old parson “took the lead,” as was
his custom, in the “exercises” of the oc-
casion. Aficr the introductory hymn and
prayer, he read the first chapter of Peter
and proceeded to expound the same. for
the edification of the brethren and instruc-
tion of sinners. Having finished his ex-
position, lie remarked, according to cits-
tom, that “opportunity” would then be
given to any of the brethren who might
have any thing to communicate to the as-
sembly. A loug pause following this an-
nouncement, and no one offering to speak,
the parson gave out a hymn. He then re
peatcd the call upon the brethren to “free
their minds” if they had any thing to say.
No one seemed disposed to respond, and
the pause became not a little embarrassing;
for the people were unaccustom.-d to "si-
lent meetings,” and considered as wasted
all the time that was not employed either
in speaking, reading, singing or praying.
The parson's face began to exhibit signs of
anxiety lest the meeting sould come to a
dead halt, and “flat despair” broodcd over
the minds of the congregation. The good
minister at length remarked, that possibly
his exposition of Scripture had not been
altogether clea'r, and that some of the
brethren might perhaps like to interrogate
him, with a view to elicit farther explana-
tions. If such were the fact, he hoped
there would be no hesitation in putting the
But there was a power more active than
were the elders; this was the sympathetic
lsisterhood of the village, who conceived . WW5
the idea of calling on the Doctor to con-.
fess every thing. They thought this would
be better than a formal trial; he would,
then be reprimanded, suspended, or even
expelled, all in a quiet way. {
Having convened, they sent a letter to
the Doctor, requesting his attendance, and
awaited his coming with all possible pa-,
ticnce. _ 1
Dr. Jenkins was announced. VVhen he
received the note from the ladies, stating
-that his attendance was desired, as they
wished to make an examination,he was
entirely at a loss to imagine what it could
mean, but he concluded the best way was
to go in his professional capacity and see.
“Good evening, ladies,” said the Doc-,
tor, with a profound bow. “I am happy
to report myself in obedience to your call.
It is always pleasant to wait on the ladies.”
‘ Mrs. Leslie was the oldest lady in the
.l'00m; not one of the rest noticed the sal- ,
lutaiion of the Doctor; but all looked at

looked indignantly at the fretdom of the,
Doctor’s entrance, and then all the rest.
looked indignant too. Mrs. Leslie drew,
herself up with dignity.
“Doctor Jenkins,” said she, “we have
met on delicate business—we wish you to
be penitent, and in one word, sir, we all
think you had better confess.”
“Confess,” exclaimed the Doctor, in un-
feigned sur rise.
“Yes, sir? confess! and try to make
atonement by humility.”
“Upon my word, ladies, I don’: under-
stand you,” said the Doctor.-
“Don’t understand us!” exclaimed Mrs
Leslie,.casting a significant look at the
other ladies, who thereupon all looked

necessary questions. Another “awful
9,” longer nnd:more painful than that
which preceded it, followed the pr-.rson’s
hint. Saints and sinners now became dc-
cidedly “figety,” and the meeting was on
the point. of “breaking up,” when a deacon
‘of the church, who probably felt that the
minister had a right in such an einergs ncy
to loo'< to him for succor, after some slight
bodily twichings indicating his embarrass-
mem,.bro|«'e the silence thus; “There is
one passage in the chapter read by our
minister which his remarks did not make
altogether plain to me. Perhaps others
understood it, though l did not; but if
there is no objection, I would like to :is..' ii
question.” The parson hoped he would
do so without hesitation. The deacon,
who was more remarkable for zeal than for
grammatical or exegetical Lnowledgc, be-
ing thus encouraged, remarked that the
passage which he did not quite compre-
hend was contained in the tenth verse,
where the Apostle said, “Wherefore, the
rather, brethren, give dilligcnce to make
lling an I election sure.” He would
ask what sort of brethren was referred to
by the term “rat/zcr-brat/iren_? ’ It was

Oliver 0 It/smi /i.—A singular anecdote
is related ofGol(lsmiili’s last journey to
Edgewoi'tli's town, previous to his en.
trance at College. Having left home on
horseback, he reached Ardagli, where it
was necessary for him to sleep at nightfall.
He had a guinea in his pocket, and was
determined to enjoy liiinsel‘. He asked
for the best house in the place, and from
a piece of literal coinpreliension, or wag-
gery, was directed to a private house, in-
by the servants, who, from his confidence,
concluded that he was some \\'(‘ll known:
friend and invited guest of their master,'
he gave directions concerning his horse,
there the owner of the mansion at his fire-
side, a Mr. Feaihersionc, a gentleman of
fortune and sorneiiliat of a wii. Oliver
began to call about him with the air of
authority, as one entitled to atient'on , and
his host having soon detected the youth’s
error, and being willing to enjoy an eve-
ning’s amusement, humored his guest,
caused wine, and whatever else Oliver
c!.osc to order, to be brought to him; and
also accepted with his wife and daugliters
an invitation to supper at his own table,
and received with becoming attention
strict injunctions to have a hot cake ready
for breafast on the following morning.
lt was not till he called for his bill before
quitting the house, that the abzislted school-
lar discovered his blunder, and learned
that he had been entertained at. the resi-
dence ofan old acquaintance of his fath-
cr. The adventure was subsequently made
to fiirnisli_ the main incident in the comedy
of “She Stoops to Conquer.”
Ricliard C'obclcn.—Elihu Buritt, now travel-
ling in England, thus speaks of the last: meeting
ofthe League:
“Cohen arose——not to speak for the space
of several minutes, but to stand up in af-
fecting silence beforc the assembly, who
would have drowned the voice of a trum-
pet before the swelling pcals of applause
with which they greeted the Napoleon of
Moral Revolution. - Several times he es-
sayed to speak, before he could frame his
lips to the utterance of a word the multi-
tnde would burst forth anew with another
volume of cheers. I saw his clear, spirit.-
speaking eyes fill with tears, on thus being
interrupted the third time in his efforts to
make himself heard. There stood the
meckcst looking man I ever saw fronting
a public assembly, and in the meekest at-
titude. As he stood with his slight form
