How TO BOTHER A sHpiuFF. — The Vermc 



Yeoman Gazette says : — Dr J , having ji 



finished digging his potatoes, thought fit, a f 



days since, to make an attempt to raise himseli 



little in the world, and for this purpose, with t 



aid of a ladder, he ascended to the roof of a ba 



where he was exerting himself in the very laui 



ble business of nailing shingles. In this situati. 



he received a visit from an officer of the law, 



the purpose of arresting his body by virtue of 



execution remaining unsatisfied. The ofB 



made known the object of his visit, and not p 



haps considering the difference between the si 



ation of a man on a barn and a man on the grow 



stepped down from the ladder. Whereupon i 



Doctor forthwith drew the ladder up to the r 



of the barn and being seized with a sudden fit 



industry, fell to shingling incontinently, observ 



that he had no time to come down, and thai 



the officer had any business with him, he had t 



ter come up and attend to it — at the same ti 



utterly disclaiming any obligation to furnish s 



oflicer with a ladder for that purjiose. The o 



cer remonstrated — the doctor shingled. 1 



one would not come down — the other could l 



get up ; and as there is something rather pecul 



in the position of these two parties in relation 



each other, it may aflTord matter of curious spe 



lation to leave them in that position — so they 



accordingly left.

A PORTABLE CHURCH. — It was pro|)osed, not 

 long since, in Ohio, to construct a moveable jieni- 

 tentiary, which might travel at the heels of the 

 judges, and pick up convicts, as an omnibus ])icks 

 up passengers. The notion was probably given 

 up, as we have heard nothing of it since. But we 

 karn that a portable church is now travelling 

 about the Western Reserve, in the shape of a huge 

 tent, capable of sheltering three thousand persons 

 from wind and we.nther. This locomotive meet- 

 ing house is used where there are no stationary 

 churches, and answers very well during the sum- 

 mer. It was used first for the anniversary exer- 

 cises of Oberlin College, and was given for reli- 

 gious purposes by Mr Finney, a professor in that 

 institution. — Vade Mecum. 



A VETERAN " WHIP."— A Mr A. Shumway 

 Belchertown, Mass. has driven the stage hetw 

 that town and Northampton, more than 25 b 

 cessive years ! He has passed over the road 

 an average twice every day, and after mak 

 proper deductions, it will be found that he 

 travelled 168 miles per week, 8736 a year, i 

 218,400 miles during this period of time ! 

 route at both extremities is usually before ■ 

 light in the morning or after dark in the even 

 and numberless instances have oeciured when 

 darkness was intense, or during terrific stori 

 yet what is very remarkable, he has never o^ 

 turned his coach, killed a horse, or met witl 

 serious accident of any kind. W hen it is rerai 

 bered that he has made more than 15,000 tr 

 and conveyed at least 124,000 passengers, and 

 neither broken a limb nor upset his coach, sui 

 such a man deserves well of his country. 



The Arabs tell some singularly superstiti< 

 tales of the generosity of the lion. The folio 

 ing has been related to me as a fact, by diffew 

 peasants, but I must confess, that, like the gem 

 ality of Arab tales, it partakes of the marvell(H- 

 yet, perhaps, with a melaiige of fable, there n 

 be some kind of foundation for truth. They i 

 that when the lion seizes the cow of a peasant, 

 will permit the owner to carry away a portion, p 

 ticularly if he asks for it in the name of his l 

 ther, wife, or family, and lakes it without show 

 any fear. — [Hoskins' Travels. 



The chime of church bells is, of all souB 

 that which conveys the most melancholy, or 

 most joyous impressions to the heart, accord 

 to the circumstances uniler which it is heard,! 

 the associations with which it is connected, 

 the feelings are not in accordance with their pi 

 there is no sound so unutterably, so unaccounta 

 sad, as that of a merry chime.
