CHCRCH.
riox 1.1111 ILLUSTRATED.
In fashion's mould the p-etcher stood,
With neck-tie white and stiff;
IL shouted out the adjectives,
And pounded out the t► ;
I thought spinet this lade world
He bad some mighty tuff.
Of nor hereafter then he spoke,
And named the holy One
In such a next-door-neighbor *ay,
I thought him half in fun,
Because he wrinkled up his face,
And smiled when he had done.
And then they passed the pewter plates
Among the sinning wighta,
And well•pinchcd shillings took their Waco
Along with widotiVmite4 ;
And I—l dropped three plebian cents—
Three blacks among the whites.
And then up in the gallery
They sung a grand old hymn,
That tnoved the fountains of my soul,
And dowi .g o'er the brim,
The tears= down my nose and stood
•
In drops upon my eb:n.
And then, the benediction said,
In quite an off hand way,
And left the fashionable church,
Where they had met to pray,
But ere they passed the Gothic porch,
Forgot %was Boly-Day.
I thought with grief on sums a ch urch,
And n hen I C,ought of nut
Who taught therein. I hung my head,
With tears my eyes were dim ;
But courage , took—the gospel s t pill
Was heard in psalm and hyuin.

President Buchanan.
A Witishi , igton correspondent of the
Charleston Men try thus de , cribes the
- •
vppearnnee of Mr. Buchanan,
,
t; rinerly an o at irresent :—" I remember
the appearance of Mr. Buchanan in the
ohlen times, when Jackson was Presi
_dent, when he %% as broad, tirm, strong,
an energetic in appearance, and quick
in motion. lle is now quiet in his
movements, gentle in his manner, and
seemingly conscious of the necessity of
constant care of himself, as well as of
everything else. His features are long
er, and his skin has that soft, white ap
pearance, which we only see in elderly
persons of temperate life and abstinence
from out-door exposure. The pictures
represent Limas having a crooked neck;
but this proceed: only front a difference
in the foei of his eyes, which he ourlit
to have diati remedied by the optician
in early life. The eye of lesser power
Ire advances towar,l the object he lo o ks
upon, awl of come ler req . lelt the oppo
site side of the head. I often pass him
in the evening hours within or 'near
the presidontial gardens. His honors
rest so easily upon him that those who
talk with him, like himself, forget that
he is President, and they thipk only of
the urbane gentleman."
The Succession.—We cOpy the follow
ing from the last number of the Bedford
Gazette. It accords with the positive
declarations of Mr. Buchanan in his in
augural, and is doubtless authoritative:
The Proposed ke-Nomination of Arr.
Buchanan.—lt has been intimated in
certa(n quarters that Mr. Buchanan
will be a candidate for re-election to the
Presidency, in IStia. There is no foun
dation whatever for any such supposi
tion. Bre speak positively and with a
perfect knowledge of what we are doing,
when we say that under no circumstances
and in no contingency, will Mr. Buchanan
be a candidate for re-nomination.
A C'urious Document—The Missouri
Republican publishes a curious docu
ment which had been forwarded to that
paper to be reprinted for the use of the
Cherokee Indians, all the copies in their
possession being much dilapidated by
constant handling. It parports to be a
true account of the relation sustained
by Pontius Pilate to Jesus Christ, as
given in the words of Pilate himself,
and of the scenes attending the trial
and crucifixion of Jesus. It claims to
have been translated from an old Latin
manuseript found in a monastery in Vi
enne, in France, were according to tra
dition Pontius Pilate was buried. This
document is much prized among the
Cherokees, and is read in their families
with all the faith of veritable history.—
It m probably the work of some imagi
native monk of the middle ages.
SW - It is plain that the starch has
been taken out of the sugar market all
over the world, and that a reaction has
begun. Everywhere there is hope of
an abundant yield in the countries pro
ducing this staple. Louisiana promises
30,000 ho shadsagainst less one
third of that amount last
,year; Cuba
wilt come up to the full limit of her
past production, if she does not surpass
it, under the stimulus of the late high
prices; Brazil shows no falling off ;
auritius continues the ratio ofincreas
ing production that has doubled her
crop in seven years, and it is doubtful
whether India will not yield as large a
supply as ever. In the face of this
state of affairs we shall not be at all
surprised if prices of this necessary sta
ple go to a very low point, and every
housewife rejoicing over cheap eager

John Chinaman
ee ahead of the
Yank.
A San Francisco paper relates the
following incident as having occurred
lately at a shoe store in that city. The
parties ooneerned were the proprietor
of the *ore and a John Chinatnan. Ex
amining a pair of boots, the price
of which was five dollars, John in
quired :
"How muchee you axe° for u►n
bootee ?"
In a spirit of waggery, it is presuma
ble, the'ow•ner replied :
"Two dollar and a halfoo,John. Very
cheap bootee, aintee?"'
"Cheap bootee," said John, who
thereupon examined, a pair, and con
cluding to buy, offered a quarter eagle.
"But," said the dealer in loather,
" this is only enough for one boot.
They Aro two dollars and a half a
Pies'— , -two boots cost five dollars."
John way somewhat :IA
he clould nut buy, and demanded the re
turrr of his money, but tho dealer was
inexorable.
"No," John, said the latter, "you have
got ono boot and have paid fur it. Now
give me another piece like this, and
take the other."
John saw the drift of the game and
was at once resolved.
"Well," said he, "this bootee be mine,
tn:►y be—l paid for mar"
" Yes," said the dealer.
"And you no give me the other
bootee.'" said John. -
Nut without the money," said the
odor.
Well," said John, " I do uni bootee
what I peas --I cutlet) urn up."
And thereupon John whipped out a
knife, cut the bout to pieces, and thivw
it into the street, exclaiming as he de
carted :
“Ti‘at am my bootee--tho other be
your bootee; you sell urn to next fool
Chinnaman what comes along."
At last accounts the boot dealer was
looking tier a man with a wooden kg,
au 1% hum he might sell the old bout, and
thus save expenses.
True Pith.—The force of language is
apt to be much injured by a multitude
of wor.k.
A respectable farmer in Berk.dure
county has the singularly happy talent
of nut saying a word too much. A
young !min wi%hing to marry his
ter, called up , ,n him one d:tv when he
happened to be in the tielti ploughing
w i t h hi s oxen.—lt was, past doubt, a
fearful matter for a diffident man to
broach, and the hesitating lover, atter
running a parallel with the furrows sev•
eral times round the tield, and essaying
with all his courage to utter the impor
tant question, at last stammered oat:

John 13till's Latest
The followipg is tho latest joke upon
John Bull:
John was travelling on some Western
railroad, when a tremendon' explosion
took place—the ears at the same time
coming to a stulden halt. The passen
gers sprang tip in terror, and rushed
out to acquaint themselves with the
but Mr. Bull, who contin
ued reading the newspaper. In a mo
ment somebody rushed back, and in
formed him that the boiler had burst.
" Awe!" grunted the Englishman.
" Yes," continued his informant,
"and sixteen people have been killed."
" Awe !" muttered the Englishman
again.
" And—and," said his interlocutor
with an effort, "Your own man—your
servant lw. been Llown into u hundred
pieces."
"Awe! briny me the piece that has the
key to my portmanteau."
i,.The Florence correspondent of
the London Morning Post tells this
good story :—"There is a story of an

highly flattered by the compliment. '1

From looking over the new Rtatates, it
appears that justices of the peace are
