NO ROOM IN 'TIE INN; [The_ poemseferred to in the following Thor allfreAsi without is enticing and gay, And a victim thour't lured , by lavish display, 'Mid rum, wine and brandy and whiskey and gin, No room for my Savior—no room In the Inn. Thy wife's cheerful smile, made thy • fireside bright, And once it would quicken thy pace home at night; Here smiles are exchanged for the idiot's grin ; No room for my Savior—no room in the Inn. Tby wile and thy children are waiting at home, And fight altar , they,are ming Where heart's best affections aro bar. tered for gin, No room for my Savior—no room in the Inn. What tones of rich music thy welcome would greet! Wilt thou not exchange, for such melody sweet, The drunkard's coarse jest and rude senseless din No room for my Savior—no room in the Around thee most fondly, thy children would crowd: Thy wife with her sewing, thou reading aloud, 'Mid idling and gambling, to lose and to win— No room for my Savior—no room in the Inn. As priest - of thy household, 0, guide them aright, By precept,. example, to let shine their light 'Mid fighting and swearing; all folly and sin No room for my Sarkis., no room in the Inn. Say not : ."Tis too late—l cannot re form ;" Let him who our sine and our sorrows has borne, But reign in thy heart, and thon'it say if this sin No room for my Savior, or me in the Inn. For The Mariettian '`No Room in the inn." LtrKR 2 : 7. When the Scottish "Auld wife" wee asked to enter an inn, and take a glass of "the famous Scotch sum' still whis key," she replied : "Na, ne : there was nee room for my Savior in the lon, in the days of `his • •flesh, and I'll no gang, for Tin Oilskin' there'll iso-muckle room for him there yet." This incident introduces a beautiful and touching poem._ with the . above title, in a recent issue of an excellent "religious and litetary monthly." : It is very suggestive. It is not.at all proba ble that the Inns of our Savior's time were each dens of vice and pollution as many of them now are. lint the lesson en forced by .the old Scotch woman is none the less forcible and instructive on this account. Would that all professedly Christian people were as thoughtful and conscien tious : that they woula resolve never to be seen frequenting those places where Jesus is a . stranger and an eiile. I know that it is next to impoeeible in many places in our country'to find com fortable lodgings while traveling, in any other kind of thyself, than -a. o licisemed: grog-shop." Christian mend good, teln ltheance men, are often compalled to ;"tarry for the night" in some matched twee!, infested with vermin of all-kinds, and various, kinds of.animals in . hemufn shape, that Make the live-long night hideous with their drunken revels and yells. In- one such wretched carica ture of a "hotel," not very far from .this place, we were doomed about two years ago to, ppse a midffkble night. We Must often do thil or "lodger in tke street all night" Now what is the reM l ifdy for this evil? lot good men every Wier. frown upon , these moral , nuieances, and nee every ingitimate effort to supprehis them.

AN Awvux DISEASE.-A Western er- change notices the prevalence of a new disease called the pipsynipsy, and thinks it peculiar to that section. We do not know the exact disease has made its appearance here, but the remedy is in general use. The disease is described as follows : A sudden depression of the collipais dinix, a caving ko of the Bpi ' nality of the backbonibue, and a feeling of slimness in the immediate vicinity of the diaplrragm may be regarded as symptoms that the complaint is coming on. The following remedy will afford. •kinstant relief: Spirits vini Otard, z. i. sugarum whitum, q. s., icibus coolus, q. r., shekiste violenter, addus apriggue minute duns, and suckite cum 'Oswalt. We have heard it said that it, is worth while having the disease for the sake of the remeny. WHAT TO Tsar.—An exchange says: A lady of our acquaintance, young, and lovely and intelligent; called on a cel ebrated physician to do "something" for a rush of blood to the head. "I have been doctoring myself," said the languid fair one, with a smile, to the bluff though kind M. D., while he was feeling her pulse. "Why, I have taken Brandreth's Pills, Parr's Pills. Stranbarg's Pills, Band's Sarsaparilla, Jayne's Expectorant. need Dr. Sherman's Lozenges and Plaster, and—" • "Good Heavens I madam," interrupt ed the astonished doctor, "all these do your complaint no good ?" "No I—then what shall I take ?" pet tishly inquired the patient. "Take r exclaimed the doctor, eye ing her from head to foot—"take 1" - he exclaimed after a moments reflection, "Why take off your corsets 1" 61- A woman in Boston, a day or two ago, whose pilfering proclivitiee were well known, was observed to be laying a good supply of eggs, the bosom of her dress being used as the receptacle for the hen fruit.- An officer in the market who was watching lier operations waited until a goodly supply of eggs had caused a full developement of her "bust," when he laid -somewhat rude hands upon her and after crushing the eggs into an indis criminate mass, to the infinite amuse ment of a crowd of lookers-on, she was allowed . to `depart with her embryo omelet. iar Professor S.
