[That was a grandletter written by Rev.—,
of Buffalo, accompanying the return of a com
plimentary pass to winter course of lectures
before Young men's Association. He it:abysm
the Committee that. his platy is punctually
paid, and that he is probably just as able to
pay for his ticket as many others who calculated
to attend the course; and furthermore that the
association were under no obligation - to him.—
It was all very courteously worded, but it was
a merited rebuke to that abominable habit
which dead-heads that class of people, or as
signs them a place in that interesting crowd
embraced in that last parting sentence on all
children in arms free, and under
ten years of age half-price."
Pay your clergymen their earnings like men
and place them above the necessity of receiving
your alms. They sacrifice alluring hopes of
gain—the certainty of fortune for the love of
their Master, their duty and you; and shame
—great shame on you, their hearers, when you
fell to do y , i'ur duty to them in order ••to

IS I MARY DALLAS.
Our house is quite i r one, and, he-
Rides those apurtmenti l Zhich we occupy
ourselves and tho'te which we dedicate to
our guests there is a very little room on thq
second floor, which we never use and very
seldom enter.
One morning, Ift hen I happened to feel
in a very economical mood, I b4thought
myself that, were this rpocn fUrnished jlret
tilv, we might jted at 1441 as not take a
txXinier—there Were sk numbers of itri
verti,einents in the t rs for just such
places. So ninny sir; - ladies wished
"board in a feria ate .'I where no otter
boarders were taken," dso many sinhi
gentlemen pined for She comforts oI
home," that I hail nn 4gmbt we could Suit
ourselves exactly.
Accordingly. I broatiaeti the sulAject to
Psalter at the table t a i very evening.—
raftlter only laughed first, but, when ho
found that I wa4 in eillinest, Regal in

neither maiden lady tier -gentl and

limited. A single gedtleartrin I must - have,

that he always in the morning took
brandy instead of milk. in his coffee.
To the gentleman's proposal I was obliged
to answer in the negative, and, on his press
ing the point, to inform hint that the recep
tion of the engine company would.of itself
be an insuperable obstacle. I did not think
it. prudent to add that hi, appeantnee and
conversation did not tend to make we de
sirous of his company. Although I tho't
so, I based my objections altogether upon
the fire company's expectations of meeting
in my pat lots.
I had said enough to offend my visitor,
hovret or, for ho thrust his head forward
turtle-fashion, and remarked that I had
better not "say anything agin No. 240,"
and that I might be "hoppin glad to hare

After these had departed. I declare I was

to give up my notable litre altogether ; but
just as I had conic to this conclusion, I
heard another ring at the bell. Such a ring!
Not a loud. imperative, obrupt peal, but a
modest, musical tintinnabulation, which
betokened an unassuming and well bred
applicant for admission.
" A young gentleman"--118 Biddy inform
ed me ; and, after peeping in the glass to
see if my hair was smooth, I ran up stairs.
There was a young gentleman in the par
lor—a tall, fair young man, with straight,
straw-colored hair, combed back from his
forehead witha brush and a white cravat of'
ministerial proportions. He had dear little
hands encased m the meet delicate of gloves,
and was so polite and gentlemanly that

a perfect model.
