I was struck with an observation made
by a blind negro, yesterday.—l was sitting
with 'a companion in his sanctum, when
the old man entered,led by a little boy.—
My friend was evidently in a bad humor,
for he saluted him as he was entering, with
"hollow, you're in the wrong door."
The poor beggar, as he turned away,
touching his hat with great respect, said in
a tone of resignation, which I believe was
sincere—"l'll die one of these days; then rn
get in at the right door."
Tupper—nest to Soldmon in proverbial
pAilosopity—sass—
"Never giro up--it is wiser and better
Always to hope, than once to despair„
and when this is felt in the heart, a sweet hope
it is to acknowledge; a glorious assurance,
when the soul can repose in confidence on
an admission through the right door--thicee
lestial gates—after this mortal has put on im
mortality. This hope will enable , the
weary of this world's strife and trouble, to
live through the "fitful fever" here,
"Although the vine is fruit deny,
The budding fig-tree droop and die—
No oil thC olive yield"
the wounded in heart; the peniecuted and
abused; the humble, modest, unappreciated;
the poor—those that "ye have with you' *al-
Ways;" the "poor in spirit," whom the' Savr
for bath blessed, may uplift their gaze to
heaven with glad smiles to "the door," de
scribed by Milton:
Heaven opened Wide
Her ever-dining gates, harmonious sotmds
On golden hinges turning."
"Then I'll get in at the right door."—l'd
rather have this assurance than all the
wealth the world can give—all its joy, hon
or and renown; rather this belief, than be
the idol of a crowd, the *gazed . upon by the
multitude, or the hero of an age. With the
poor beggar's words engraved upon my
heart and part and parcel of it, ;could death
have any terrors? Would it not be haled
as a relief from toil and trouble, sin and
misery? (the accompaniments of social com
munication with the world—the natural ef
fects on all vile Mizigle with it.) The right

ecdoto of old Peter Cartwright, 'a - noiet.
Methodist preacher; which Illustiatei this
Western peculiarity:
While he was pfeaching, years ago, Gen
eral Jackson - entered the chiirch, when a
pastor, seated in the pulpit, gaVe his "brother
Cartwright" a nudge, and whispered that the
old hero had just gime in, as much as to ad
vise, "Now be particular in what you saY:"
But Peter, to the astonishment of every one,
exclaimed: "Who cares for General 44-
son? He'll go to hell as soon as anybody, if
he doesn't repent!"
When the sermon—a• home-made one—
was ended: a friend asked the General what
he thoUght of that rough old fellow, and re
ceived for an answer, "Sir, give me twenty
thousand such men and I'll whip the world,
including the devil."
The same paper from which we clipped
this anecdote, (the - Western Christian .Adca
cafe,) has also twO'or three other paragraPhs
that wo are tempted to quote as ,amusiUg .
and racy specimens of-we,stern writing. To
fully appeciate the following description, it
must be understoodlhat it is a portraiture
of a Methodist clergyman, drawn by a
brother parson. The sketcher is Rev. J. L.
Crane, and his subject or rather victim, is
the editor of a • Methodist paper published
in Meat°.
Now for.tho portrait: • .
In personal appearance, brother Watson
is without comelinesi of - form or visage.. He
looks pale, wan and ghostly, as if he had
been long troubled with thceverpday ague,
and could only make a Speech under the in
fluence of fever. We learn that ho is great
ly afflicted with the asthma.; 41s, looks as
if he had taken patent medicines enough•to
ruin the constitution ola horse. • Ile looks
like w mountain: torrent ths:Ch'ad"rup
through a soil of white clay. and alwnt
to dry up, yet was determined to leaP; and
bound, and make music for the world till
the last drop was exhausted.: As to flesh,
he has as near to none at all asprOrtilleto
the lot of a walking frame of bonei. *hen
he opens his mouth you are reminded of the
lifting up of the lid of an old-fashioned 'cof
fee pot. His • gestures are made 'with
about as much ease and grace asthe tio*e
meats of a loose suit of clothes,,erriningin
the wind on en awning post, before a cloth
ing store. •

We must make - room for one more :moo
dote fiom the - same writer. The•bold - and
stern mien of the preacher above alluded to,
finds a happy contrast in the wit'sina tadfof
the one we are abeilt to introduce:
"Weremember to haVe heard of tkpreacher
now residing in Illinois, who once brOught
the hats off a crowd as follows: At a,earei
nreting in Indiana, where a large congre
gation had gathered, some were disposed to
keep their" hats on in the time of divine ser
vice. This brother attempted to. get allhats
off, but failed by singly asking them to take
them off. A gang of' rowdies seemed re
solved to keep their hats on, and stay in the .
congregation, when the preacher said: ' There
are different customs existing among the peo
ple of our country in reference to wearing
their hilts. Some wear their hats in pub
lic congregations and some -do:not. It is
proper for every one to conform to the cus
toms of the people-with whom they worship.
Nevertheless, if educatlin, or the afflicting
circumstances ofany, should require them
to wear their hats, we have no objections.'
Here a few hats came. off. 'The Quakers,
continued the preacher, 'we 'believe, wear
their hats everywhere;' (then some more hats
disappeared, for the rowdies hated the Qua
kers,) there is an afflicting disease prevalent
in su.me parts of the West, known by the
name orthe , seald heed, '(here- nearly all
caputs were uncovered, • a few rakes only

tion may have the scald head; but I will not
presume that any one is so impolite as to
wiantis hat without& *toed reason during
the services' (here some put- their hands up
to their hats.) So my friends you may con
clude that - every one who wears his hat
while we are preaching is a Quaker or has
the scald bead."
Every hat was off; arid the tinkled congre
gation listened' with uncovered brood) to the
word oflife.—N. F.. FaiSer.

As be drew near home, a wretched little

but this -evening his heart,ivas open, and he
concluded to take the poor brute with .
True, his wife hated dogs, but, he trusted-to
his good fortune to soften her heart, as it
had his.
It was quite dark when he reached home,
and he entered-the house with the doKelose

"What is that?" cried the lady,. pre
paring to drive the intruder out-of n
door
"Only a poor little dog I have made bold
to bring home with me.. But listen, wife, to
my good fortune."
. As-he related the story, the-good lady be
came mollified, and the little dog wasalmost
forgotten.
"See, here is- the money, safe in my
pocket-book," concluded the husband, put

proof of his story.

already assembled. - I
The service was opened in the usual manner
and the parson was . very eloquent, and
dwelt for some time upon the necessity.of
speedy repebtance on the part of the singer
if wished to enjoy salvation. Nothing
unusual occurred till *near the close of the
exercises, when he observisi i irotlier . Clark,
(the same man who had the adventaire with
the bear in Potter County, recently) seated '
near a sturdy Vermonter, clad in a red
shirt, furiously chewing an enormous quid
of tobacco, and squirting the juice all around
until the floor was completely flooded. Im
mediately on this discovery, the idea—some
may calljt wicked—entered his head to per
petrate 'a joke on Brother Clarke, and be
called on him to close the meeting with
prayer, knowing very well that he Would i
be compelled to kneeldown in the sea of tobae
cojuice. De looked around mournfully for a
moment, but there was no other alternative,
and then slowly unfolded his clean handker
chief, placed it under his knees, end then '
offered up a prayer remarkable for its brev
ity. During its delivery, the parson was
quietly watching him from bellihd-the desk,
and smiling at the joke.
After themeeting was dismissed, and they
were passing out, Parson Bacon sidled upto
Brother Clarke and innocently observed:
"It is too bad that these dirty fellows
shottld , come here and squirt - their tobacco
juice around in such a vulgar manner, sna
king it impossible for the sisters to pis;
out without spoiling their dresses." '
"Yes," replied Brother Clarke in apiti
ful tone, "it is indeed ridiculous. Janet look
how my pocket handixrchief is ruined!" at
the same time drawing, it from his pocket
empletely saturated with the tllthyfluid.
The Parson was one ahead this time, and
was obligod to turn -aside and enjoy a sly
laugh at the expense of iirother Clarke.—
He ie more careful where he site in meeting
now.
