A- rtort.e Story.
A keeper of a hotel not fifty miles
from
. Boston, is, or was, a famous man
for horses—owtied many, and was al
ways ready for a trade in such cattle.
lie was sharp at a bargain, and was
never knows' to make a move that didn't
count on his side, until the following
happened, that proved an exception to
the role. -He always had some pertic
ular horse on hand for every particular
emergency pf trade, and the adroitness
of his operations in putting off a beast
was n subject of &lighted approval on
all hands among connoisseurs of that
delight ful andi'm ach a based animal, the
limit!. No ono ever traded with Staffie
that did not confess' himself satisfied,
though satisfaction being a latitudinal
word, did not 'always mean that the
satisfactlon was the ultimate of happi
ness in the trade—like the same term
in connection with the dnello.
There was a jolly cobbler whose name
was Wax, that occupied-a small shop
near tim hotel, to whom Stale was ac
customed to refer in case of any stick
in a t...ansaetion, and he being a disin
terested man, would deckle on the mat
ter of difference, always, however, by
what was deemed a strange fatality,
deciding in favor of Stank. Some, how
ever, went so far as to intimate that
Statile and the cobbler had talked the
matter ever previously, and had certain
sloe by which they understood eke%
otbtr.
When the stick came, then Staffie
would say, " Well, well, ire can't get
along any further. Now, I'm -willing
to leave it out to a third party, anil as
Mr. Wax, round the corner, knows the
value of the horse I am swapping with
you, be will be as good and candid an
arbiter as we can find, and I guess I'll
call him." Mr. Wax would according
ly come-out, leather apron and all, and
after looking at the matter candidly,
would decide that Statile receive a
smart consideratiOn as the difference in.
value, and this would settle it Mlle tillieS

The thrilling details of the sinking of
the st , ..ainsiiip Central .America, from
Califoruin, iu the late violent storm On
tlit Atlantic coast, and the consequent
frightful-loss of human life and vahnihee
treasure, continue to be topics of pain
ful and absorbing interest.
On Saturday morning week several
. a
of the passengers who were fortunately
rescued by the Sorwegian barqne El
len (not Eloise as previously reported,)
arrived at Baltimore from Norfolk in
the steamer Louisiana.
We have the gratification of announc
ing that the brig Marine, of Bostolp,
('apt. Burt; arrived at Norfolk on Fri
day evening week, bringing the unex
pectedly largo number of 100 souls,
that she had taken, from the wreck, in
eluding 41 men, 3'2 women, and 21" chil
dren. Among the men are the chief
engineer and boatswain of the lost
steamer. The Marine is the vessel which
was reported to hare isailed for BUS
ton with only 40 of the survivors.
Some of the survivors by the Ellen
report having seen Capt. Herndon after
the steamer went down, clinging to a
portion of the wreck and struggling
manfully fbr life.
When the survivors by the Marine
entered the parlor of the National Ho

A New Liturgy.
A Great Work -Yearly Cordpteted.—
The liturgy committee of the German
Reformed Church which has been in
session in Lancaster, Pa., since the
25th of August, adjourned on the 4th
inst. The Lancaster Express says :
This committee, which was raised
`about seven years ago, by - tho Eastern
and Western Synods of the Church,
i with the acquiescence of all the Classes,
'consists of twelve members, six etr . sev
en of whom, we understand, have per
formed the most or the labor of the
great work which has been in progress
• tOr the past seven years. The members
present at the session just closed wore

'rue committee are to re-assemble in
Philadelphia in October, when the work,
making three or four hundred pages, it
expected to pans through the press.
The Express adds:
- Each part of the work bits been cam
fully prepared front the original liturgi

thirteen ante-Nicene forms, allot' whiebi

iSome,of these date back to tho earliest
'periods of the Christian era, and- the
committee had the books and forms
' taillected in Europe for, their use, many
!of them being very rare. The (+emit

Whence the sermons of the New Mng

We can recollect the time when David
