A Short ■ Metre Pkater.— Tbe Rev. Mr. Der- 

 ive!!, u pious and curious old Methodist mini>l,T, 

 went from Tennessee to Kentucky, in 1MB, to rial! 

 his relative, the Hon. William Bolton. The man 

 was not 11 religious man, but was ti gentleman, aud 

 invited the minister to Lave family worship every 

 evening. While he was visiting there, Judge Cone 

 mid his wife, from Nashville, arrived there to pass 

 the night, and Mr. Rolton, being a little embar- 

 rassed, said to Ihe old minister, as he brought out 

 the Bible, that he had better be short, ns the Judge 

 was probably not accustomed to such things. 



"Very well, very well," said he, and reading a 

 sinirle verse, he knelt down and prayed : 



" Lord, we are poor and needy creatures, and 

 we know that Thou urt able to supply all our 

 wants, but Cousin William says that Judge Cone 

 and hie wife, from Nashville, are here, and arc not 

 used to family worship, and however needy we are 

 there is no time to spare iu telling Thee our wants. 



The Judge was taken all aback, and so was 

 Com in William. They both pressed the old gen- 

 tleman to conduct the services in his own wav, 

 which he did, to their great edification. 



ients. — People do not laugh 

 now-a-days— they indulge in merriment. They 

 never eat any food— they masticate it. Nobody has 

 a tooth pulled out— it is extracted. No one has hie 

 feelings hurt— they arc lacerated. ^ ■ 

 not go courting girls— they pay young ladies atten- 

 tion. It is vulgar to visit any one— you must only 

 make a call. Of course you would not think of 

 going to bed— you would retire to rest. Nor n ould 

 you build a house— you would erect it. One buys 

 drugs at a "medical hull," wines of a "company," 

 and shoes at a "mart." Blacking is dispensed at 

 an " institution," and meat from a " purveyor. " — 

 One would imagine that the word "si 

 only become contemptible, but had been discovered 



Jays, all the- shops are "warehouses," or "bazaars," 

 and one will hardly find a person having tbe hardi- 

 hood to call himself a shopkeeper. " Work-people" 

 "tea hi. 1 linga" 

 ra" are "artitt<t." 



Why is whispering a breach of good manners' 

 Because it is not aloud.
