As a specimen of many examples brought forward in a recent lecture upon the char acteristics of the New England humor the Boston Post quotes the following r "The lecturer was enforcing the idea that the sense of contrast ' and opposition of idea was often reached through the ef fect of total and embarrassing disappoint ment m the expected point of a story. Of this kind, be said, was a question which was once elicited from a grave matter-of- fact old 'man in the town of Andover; by an animated account of a fire in the neigh borhood. . As the usual occupants of the bar-room were sitting about the fire in the evening, each with his cigar and glass ot suspicious looking liquor in his hand, there -entered a farmer, from the ' North Fansb, with the air of a man, who bad much on his mind to communicate.

After the lapse of several minutes, however, the pause was broken by a dull, frosty-faced old fellow, who had been staring intently at the coals ever since the speaker had finished, ing up with an, as yet, unsatisfied sion of face, he inquired, ' IM kill the owir : Look- exprea- did they FASHIONABLE CHURCH IN NEW YORK. fifou enter the church porch.
