The Bishop wrote back, observing that tt might bo written by a common man, but it was tho production of no common mind, and he was anxious tu receive some further particulurs of the au. thor s life. Mis Lordship wrote to Mr. Douglas, the Rector of Wickhum, wishing him to see Mr. Hurst, and ascertain his abilities. Mr. Douglas found him toiling tne wnoie aay long to support His family, but pursuing his studies while at work, having his lesson on his " flamestone ' stone suspended before tho eyes of the workmen to protect them from the flames. Mr. Douglas conversed with him, and made a report o the Bishop. Dr. Malt ay after w.ards corresponded with Mr. Hurst, ad. vised him as to his courso of reading, and enclosed the means' of following out bis re. co.mmcndations Some time afterwards, the Bishop, having occasion to visit New. castle, had a personal interview with Mr. Hurst, and arrangements were then made for hie ordination.

He was an elderly gentleman noted for his charitable 'speaking towards all women. If they had faults, hd mantled them over if virtues, he took pleasure in parading them. ' Miss Is. is very beautiful, said one. 1 And very intelligent,1 said another, 'for I sat next her at dinner.' ' Is her moral character good,' asked a young buchellor, addressing the old gentle. man.

In the evening the landlord was busy in one corner of the bar-room, talking in a suppressed voice with one of his neighbors, about the swarm of bees. His two- dishonest guests were seated in another part of the room, and in. distinctly hearing tho talk about bees, one said to the other. - " Did ho say beans 1" " I think he. did," Was tho reply, and they were quickly missing., this bean story is worth something. When I hear a person scolding about the personalities of editorials I cannot help thinking about the beans.

Napoleon dashed out of tho town on his charger, beneath the overarching columns of flame, and retired a league distant where the heat of the fire pursued him.

We knov of no advantage that they pan bo to any, un less it is tp' exercise the patience of those who may be tho subjects of their officious meddlings. A busybody must be, 1. An ignorant person. A person of any refinement of rnuuuerst ox any- knowledge, bf himself or human nature, can find butter employment than to meddle with other men s matters. It is tho lowest calling in which a person can engage, as it requires no sacacity of mind, neither exercise ol discretion. A fool may bo a busybody; but a person of ordinary (acuities will scorn tho task. 2. A busybody cannot have m erercise the feelings that characterise lite Christian. The Gospel requires the believer to love his neighbor as himself. The work of the busy body is to originate and give circulation to scandul to the prejudice of others. Nothing but extreme depravity of heart con lead to such a course, since no one is benefitted, while some may suffer. Tho believer, by the exercise of Christian charity, seeks, to hide tho faults of others. Tho busybody gives venl'to his evil feelings by discover ing faults where they do not exist, or mng. nily lhein where theydi. If thejUliristian discovers a fault in another person, his first labor is, if possible, by benevolent means to heal it. If the busybody discovers a real or imaginary one, he cannot rest until it is flying upon the wings of the wind. 3. Tliey are envious persons. lOne pro minent charactefristic of e busybody is, to envy thusar who, by accident ar ntlwrwisp. may chance to be more favored than ihem selves. The best of every thingfoelonga, of right, to the envious person, at least, in his own estimation. And if he cannot by virtuous conduct, command soliigh a place in the esteem of men as another person, his envious heart brings into exercise the scan dalous meddling of bis trade, until the inno- cent are made to suffer. Reader, you moy know the busybody by his officious mcd. dling with other person's characters or bu siness, whether by impugning their motives or misrepresenting their conduct; or by whatever means he may detract from their real worth. Murk such, and have naught to do with them. The Pudding Captain. A friend of ours tells a story of a Yankee captain and his mute, something' after this, fashion. ' Whenever there was plum pudding made by tho captain's orders, all the plums were put into one end of it,- and that end placed next to the captain, who, after helping him self,, passed it to the mate, who never found any plums in his part of it. Well, after this game had been played for some time, the mate prevailed on the steward to pluce the end which had no plums in it next to the captain. The caplaThno" sooner saw the pudding thnn he discovered that ho had the wrong end of it. Picking up the dish, and turning it in his hands, as if examining the China, He said, ' this dish cost me two shillings in Liverpool' rand put it down again, as though without design, with the plum end next to himself. ' Is it possible,-' said the mate, taking up the dish 4 1 shouldn't suppose it was worth more than a shilling,' and, as if in perfect innocence, he put the dish with the plum end to him. self. The captain looked at the mate the mate looked at tho captain. 1 ho captain laughed the mate laughed.

The doctor Is now what the monk once was, with this additional advantage, that from the nature of his stu dies, and the research of his art, he reads more deeply in tho human heart,- and pene trates into its most inmost recesses. For him, life has little romance ; the grosser agenco of the body reacting ever on the operations ol the mind, destroys many po etic duy-dreams and many a high-wrought illusion. To him alone does a man 'speak , " son dernier mot : while to the lawyer the leanings of self-respect will make him al ways impart a favorable view of his case.
