We hare been without a pastor Some eighteen months or more, And thouga candidates are plenty WeVe bad at least a score; All of them "ti-top'l-preacbers, Or so their letters ran We're just as far as ever Prom settling on the man. The first who came among" 115 i By no meanwas the worst, But then we didn't think of him Because be the first; It being quite the custom To sacrifice a few, Before the Church in earnest Determines what to do. There was a smart young fellow With seriousf-earnsst way, but for one great Sad surely won the Who left so good impre3iion, On Monday one or two Went round among the people To tee If he would do.

The piousj godly portion Had not a fault to find, His'clear and searching preaching They thought the very kind; f-' And ail went smooth and pleasant, Until they heard the views Of some induential sinners Of these his pungent dealing? Made but a sorry hit; The ooat of gospel teaching Was quite too tighj a fit. Of course his fata was settled Attend, ye persons all And preach to suit the sinnera If you would got a call. Next same a spruce young dandy He wore his hair too long; Another'acoat was shabby, And hiaWoice not over strong; And one New Heaven student Was worse than all of those We couldn't hear the sermon For thinking ef his nose. Ttfen wearying of candidates, We looked the country through, 'Mid doctors and professors, To find one that would do. And after much discussion, Onwho should bear the ark, With toerabie agreement, We fixed on Br.

Parke. Here then we thought it settled, But were amazed to finely Our flattering invitation declined. We tnnied to Dr. Hopkins To help a in the lurch, Who at-rangely thought that college Had claims above "our church." Next tre dispatched committees By twos and threes, to urge The labors for a Sabbath Of the Key. Shallow Splurge-He "came a marked sensation, So wonderful his style, Followed the creaking of his baotg, As he nagsed un tha sialo.

His tones were so affecting, His gestures so dlvioe, A lady fainted in the hymn, Tietore the second line, And on that day he gave In accents clear and loud, The greatest prayer ever addressed To an enlightened crowd. He preached a double seraion', And gave us angel's food, On such a lovely topic "The joya of solitude;" All full of sweet descriptions Of flowers and pearly streams, Of warblfng birds, and moonlit grovea, And golden sunset beams. Of faith and true repentance, He nothing had to say; He roumlod all the corners, And smoothed the rugged way; Managed with greit adroitness To entertain and please, And leave the sinner's conscience Completely at its ease. Six hundred Is tho salary, We give in former days, We thought it very liberal, And found it hard to raise; But when we took the paper, We had no need to urge, To raise a cool two thousand, Fqgthe Rey. Shallow Splurge.

In vain were all the efforts We had no chance at all We found ten city churohes Had given him a call; And he, in prayerful waiting, Was keeping ail In tow; But where they bid the highest, 'Twas whispered ho would go. And now, good Christian brothers, We ask your earnest prayers, That God would sead a shepherd, To guide our church affairs, With this clear understanding, a man, 10 meet our views, preach to please the sinners, And fill the vacant pews.

A OIIY BEAU IN THE Some few montha back, I left my city home for a abort sojourn in the country, intending, however, when started, to retarn in tho course of week or so, but I find myself still here, and verj unwilling to return. I am about to give vou an account of an adventure I met with soon after my arrival here. If it affords you a hearty laugh my objeel will ba attained.

Sometime previous lo my departure for this village, I became acquainted with a young gentleman who was regarded, by most of the ladies as a very handsome young man, one whom no ydung lady need blush to be seen in company with. He tall, has very regular features, sports an elegant moustache, and a pair of whi3fcers which are the envy and admiration of all his frienda. I had no been here very long before I received a beautiful perfumed note, saying that if I had no objection, he would be happy to make me a visit. Now you must know, every girl in our set would have given their ears for such a mark of attention from him and as may be supposed, was proportionately flattered. I pictured to myself the envy and jealousy they would ail feel when they heard, -which I 'intended' they very soon should do, of my conquest.

But I must confess that the anticipatidn of the pleasure his visit would aSord me, was much greater than its realization which I believe is the case with all pleasures in this world. The evening of his expected arrival came at last, and I looked my best, or if I did not, it was most assuredly not for the want of trying, so my-good little friend Jennie could tell you if she were hot too amiable to tell tales out of school. although I was well aware that I was tho most graceful and polished ef the three, for there wore three girls of us boarding in the same house I could not help feeling some little uneasiness cast my eyeson my companions, for they in anticipation of au introduction, and perhaps, with an eye tocutting me out, (vulgarly speaking) had dressed "themselves with lhore than usual eare, and if to look handsome was their, object they cerEaily had succeeded to a charm. Jennie's white dress and blue ribbons were very becoming to her style of beauty, the long flaxen curls which feUin such rich profusion over her well shaped shoulders, and her fair face, lit up with that Togueisfc smile of hers, were really and truly cause enough for apprehension there 'Fherr ther? was lith the oldest of the three, with her beautiful face, her golden hair forming a crown around her glorious head, and last but her dreamy soft, blue eyes, whiehseemed erer appealing for love, that no one ex'er droampt of refusing to give. OhVthey are both verv, TBry beautiful, and were I a gentleman, I could not -w uuu it vu.

vuu-utjarb oi uqb oi-t vnese sweet sisters; the onlv difficulty would be which to choose. But to return to my storv, the hero of which arrived on Monday evening. "We heard the stage rumbling along the rough road, and we eachiooked around the neat little parlor, to see if something was not wanting to add to Its comfortable homo-like look. But the survey waV quite satisfactory, and tbfe next moment we wre out onttho piazza, ready to receive our aeat suppose I should have said. Frpm the description I had given, the? expected to see a most elegaut and accomplished gentleman andl had the satisfaction of hearing them sav that night as we retired, that mv enconiums fatted to do turn justice, "onlv my dear," said Edith "he is so tremenduously perfumed." I really was Tory proud of him, but what a change eame'ove-the spirit of my dreams before he took his denar tare.

Th next morning, as aooo aa prajers wereoeV he asked me to Uke a short wafk. I started br shaUing and laughmg right merrily etoppin- so pUnutaj-atrevrn aroand.

ident happening to, them. Now, anj cotnsequonce fiis unwillingness to lend their horses, I really regarded it as a great layoi, wueu without waiting to be asked, kindly Offered his for the use 6f Mr. Allison. This very obliging 1 conduct ought to have made me suspect something distance on our road, whon Mr. Allison's horse stood stock Still; for no earthly reasoa that i could discover, ana upon my advising it, he, (meaning my beau) used the whip.

he commencediicling, rearing and pitching in a manner do donbt very agreeable to himself, but evidently by no means so to mi a. bounced about in his saddle from sideito side, till I became much alarmed lest he shpnidie thrown. TAitr liofrtrp nrnnpAnintr further. I must you that we had had some very, heavy rains, anil the roads, in were in a very bad state. The angry look in his face wa9 at last too much for my gravity, and in spite of all my to prevent it, Ilaughed; I fear, -rather; boisterously, for a city bred young lady.

This- added fuel to the flame, and my unhappy escort pulled and tagged still more "fiercely at the rein, shouting at the top of his voice, which however, is not aery loud one, "stop sir! stand still and at last With a most revengeful look, "now sir!" and with the word down came the whip with a lash that would have made the tamest horse plunge. One leap and' away they went, my hero threw himself fonyard, let go of the and clasped his arm3 around the poor horse's nock with such a desperate clutch, that the onlv wonder in my mind to this minute is that lie had.not been strangled at I found it utterly impossible to control my laugnter, taougn I had as much as I could well do to prevent inv hor3e from following in tho wake oi his, terrified comrade. I however succeeded in doing so, and started by a short cut for the road I was i sure the horse would take as it -was. the leading most directly home. My surmise was a correct one, as was proved me in a lew minutes, iui-lnnkinir ud the road then, I saw them as thotigh ten thousand whips were in pursuit of them.

I drew my horse to tae middle ot tne road, so as to block up the way, and by this means Btop their headlong course, which maneuver! had the desired effect, but dreadful to relate, the "sud den check, caused Mr. A. to take a flying iieap. about five yards oyer his horse's head, and he landed safely' in a mudhole. I must now endeavor to give yoii some idea how the exquisite Mr.

A. looked when I first sot a glimpse of him and his mad-horse coming down the road. He: was stretched just as I had last seen him with his oT-mo thfi animal's neck, his hat was irone. Vila lnnw hair was flvine loosely ou the wind, his iieckerchief, which had long ends, was twisted round to the back ot Ins neck, ana mmgiea witn his streaming locks, his elegant swallow tailed coat was so bespattered with clay, so that it was. difficult to tell of what it was made, and his pants, fashionably strapped down when we startedjhad relieved themselves from this restraint, and were now about three inches above his boots.

"Well, the horse had no sooner thrown him, than he turned about and started again at full gallop, leav ing his rider in as bad a fix as his greatest enemy could have wished. I was not quite sure what to do for the best in this delicate emergency, but I concluded I would go to the mud hole, and try to fish out my unlucky beau, which I alter a great aeai oi puuiog on my pan. and" scrambling: on his, for he was stuck fast. Oh, ye gods and little fishes such a figure as out, the clay of course adhered firmly to: his elothes and hair, and this, added to the general disarrangement of his dress, gave him anything but an amiable appearance. Mr.

the exquisite dandy at starting, who evidently felt that he was looking quite killing, would now have gladly and thankfully changed clothsswith the shabbies of our village beaux. Now commenced a rather amusing conversation. (with difficulty suppressing the laughter that threatened, if it did nit have vent, to choke her,) "Dear me, Mr. Allison, I am very sorry indeed (a broad grin on her face) that this should have happened. Gentlbjian, (rather testily.) "So it seems, Miss Lucy, but if instead of amuaiug yourself at: my expense, you would return to the house, and send me'something to make my appearance among the country fools, it would be rather better I think." L.

(slightly indignant,) "I do not feel so much annoyed at-the insulting manner in which speak of my friends, (laying a heavy stress on as I should be "under other circumstances, for of course I cannot expect you to be as amiable as usual (with a slight sneer). Or. (cooling down,) "My dear Miss Lucy, I meant no disrespect to you, will you not be so good aud kind as to ride baek to the house and. send me some asistance. L.

(mollified,) "Certaily." And walking her horse to the fence, she mounted; then looking back a moment to the spot where Mr. A. iwas standing, she said, "I would advise you not to move from this spot, or you may get lost," and started at a good pace for home. I had not proceeded far on my homeward route, when I met master John and his friend Willie, laughing immoderately. As soon as I arrived within hearing distance, John began to ask where I had left Mr.

Allison, saying that the horse had returned and frightened Jennie almost out of her senses, when she saw that he had no rider, and she insisted on their coming to look for us. Without entering into particulars I told them where to' find him, and continued on home. The moment I reached the gate, out rushed Jennie to meet me, exclaiming, "Oh Lucy! what has happened!" I vouchsafed no answer, but taking her round the waist, led her oft' to our sanctum, and there, amid peals of the whole adventure. Jennie laughed so heartily and long, that I was at. last compelled to draw my own face down in o'rder to stop her, for I really thought the child would hurt herself.

I made her promise not to say one word about it to the, old folks till he was gone, for I shrewdly guessed he would very soon take his such a proof of his fine horse: manshtp. After a while, Willie returned alone, saying, as well as he could for laughing, that Mr. A. preferred staying where he was till dark, and that John had decided on keeping him company. When they came, dear mischief-loving Jennie and myself 'were waiting at the kitchen door to receive them, and give them supper, but all; our persuasions could not indace Mr.

A. to. sit down to that table. How much Jennie's puffed out cheeks had to do with this I don't know. retired to his room, and the next morning at breakfast we waited and waited for him, till everything on the table was cold, and at last the old gentleman went to his door and knocked; but no answer being returned, he went in.

and lo! the bird had flown, bag and baggage. The oldlgentlema'n, jvhd had heard nothing about the affair of the tide, came baok to the parlor, looking, as Jennie said; as if he had seen a ghost. girls, he isn't there!" "Not there!" we all exclaimed in a breath, ibnt John entering at that moment yery soon erplained the mystery. It seems that he was so thoroughly ashamed, and so afraid of being the laughing stock of the whole village that had taken the night stage to town, without "'the e'er emo'ny of leave taking. Now, young gentlemen, allow.me to offer you a' little pieoe otadvice.

When you take a notion to payra visit to the'eountry, leave your city airs and-gala CTStumes- behind, and don't, for pity's ake, make yourselves a walking perfume shop, but above all, never, never mount -vicious horse. unless you are very excellent his cuy. oeaux very aeiaom are or you may meet with as disgraceful an adventure as Ali son, and be as he is day the village-laugh ing stock. i take tho liberty of drawing a vail over tnemn merciful manner in which I was joked about affair, and beg leave to subscriDe mysett, Yours respectfully, LUCY.

Cutoff in the bloom of a promising life, her who have erected this monument, console themselves with the belief that she now abides in heaven." What a history of disappointed hopes and of keenest sorrows would' the heart-life ot most of our great men and distinguished families unfold.

The path of glory is one bedewed with tears, and our great men are arrested bv the providence of God in their schemes of earthly ambition. For six weeks did this great statesman tarry in Lebanon, to watch over the decline and death of this fiowerof his heart, and when he, laid his blooming daughter to rest among strangers, how did he feel the emptiness of human glory and the preciousaess Oi that Christian faith he inscribed on this tablet to his daughter's memory.

Yoex, Nov. -19. The flooring of the new State Arsenal gavo way early this morning crushing everything in-its-way, and prostrating, most of thn side and tiartition wall. A portion of the wall fell on an adjoining house, crushing the roof and severely injuring a woman, who was lying in bed. The building was nearly completed.

It was built of stone, was 200 feet long, 100 feet wide, and 60 feet high. The loss is estimated at from to 60,000 dollars. Nobody was killed, the acoi-dent happening before the workmen came on. Ship on Fire. New Okleans, Nov.

Mercury 30. The Self-Proptlliiig Steam Fire Engine Tho New York Tribune has ben funiiahed with the folloiviug additional particulars in regard to tbe performance of Lee Lanard a engine at its recent trial at the Bowling Green In throwing through a IX inch nozzle the stream was held steadily at about 220 feet thoiwh its force was broken by the thick branch es of tha trees through whieh it was necessary to direct it; the furthest throw with thia stream was 240 feet. Of the perpendicular height reached with the same noazie no measure could be had, but the best judges estimated it at not les3 than 140 feet, and soma much higher. A linch noazle, bneoflX inches, and two of 1 inc les were successively used, with about the same results. Tho hose was taien to tho top of the five story building, No.

IS, Broadway, a bight ol about 00 leet, Irom which hight a inch stream was thrown 140 feet horizontally, and an additional height estimated at not less than 75 fact. From the same position, play-in- through an open butt of inches diauieter, water was thrown clear of two intervening roofs, upon the third roof beyond, a distance of from 55 to 60 feet. It will be seen that this as regards both Quantity of water aud force, was far beyond tho range of ordinary fire-engine duty. Compared with that of the Hope engine at the Merchant's Bichange, it showed at least fourfold power though its weight ia but little more than double, -the excess of weight being fully compensated, as it is iu goon part causea, oy its arrangements ior annlvins the nower of steam to its wheels, so as to propel itself. Compared with the Cincinnati engines, while its weight was about that of tbe second class ol those engines, its throwing was fully equal to that of their first class, with the same advantage added, of self-propulsion.

The trial or running the engine, carrying load of twelve or fifteen men, over some ot the ateenest cradei and worst conditioned streets in the city, with au engine so novel in constructtion and oueration, operated by men whose only pre vious practice had been obtained in a single-short trial trip, was a severe one, but it was not declined, and it was as in its results to the Street Commissioner, who directed it, as it was to the proprietors and their friends. It not true that during this trial the engine had to stop, or "stuck fast, through want ot either steam or water It stopped only when ordered, by tho Street Commissioner, or when the. vehicles in' the streets made it necessary.

Talbot and Uerans each purchased some cattle, trod before they could get them home they became mixed up, and Mr.

Meran3 became in.pos-session of the "pet calf," which, as it appears by the sale bill, was valued at $4 50. Mr. Talbot claimed the calf, and on the 8d day of May, 1S52, brought suit before-a justice of the peace for 9, what he supposed its value, and obtained a judgment against Jlr. Merans for $6. The defendant appealed to the April term, 1853, of the Circuit Court of Montgomery County; the case was continued until the following November term, at which time the case -was brought up, but the jury disagreed and it' was continued until April term, 1854.

It was then continued again until September of the same year, when tne jury ronna ior the plaintiff $4 40. An appeal was then taken to the Supreme -Court of the State, when the case was remanded "to the Montgomery Circuit Court for a new trial. The defendant was granted a change of venue to this court, when, on Tuesday last, -the case was'brought up and decided in favor of tbe defendant. This case which was originally for $4 50, has now become to be a case of some im-portance-the costs, as we have been informed, amount to -Thus it can be seen what a little spark kmdlcth. Failure.
