Mr. VV - was an officiating clergyman, who bad charge of a little flock in the State of Massachusetts. He was - "possessed of an excellent temper, 'generous feelings, and a well-cultivated mind ; but fr; " he, was eccentric, eeo to odd it j.., Ha , Was a powerful speaker,, and bis n.inistra . ian was blessed lo the conversion of many' souls. At the age of thirty -four be became I convinced that it was not good for 'man to be alone;' ami for the purpose of betterinjj his condition, he made proposals to Mary ' 13 t a beautiful light-hearted girl of sev enteen, daughter of one of his wealthiest r parishioners, and whu imagined that to re fa fuse the hand f the minister would be a "sin bordering hard upon the tfnpardonable. v In due time the marriage was consu mated, -, the bride's snug portion pa d, and the hap py husband, as husbands In their first love etre apt to do, ' gave up to the humor of his ' wife, and accompanied her to several fes tive parties given by his wealthy neighbors in honor of his marriage, i ,4 - ; - - v One evening towards spring, the happy t couple were sitting together in their com fortable parlor, the reverend gentleman deeply buried in the study of the venerable , Bede, and his wife equally intent upon a - : plate of fashion, when she suddenly looked up with a mingled expression, of ..hope and fear,' and thus addressed her companion HMy dear husband,- 1 have one request 'to make." ;.:-';-.

But come, what is it 7" . - "Why, my dear," and her voice trembled " & little "we have been to several parties - among the neighboring gentry this winter, "" . and now, 1 think, that to maintain our po- sition in society', we 'Should give a party also." . ' : - i - .yf f--i The minister looked blank. "VJ J V J y "What sort of a party, JVlary ? haat length said.'-: '" :: . v- "- ' ' ; - ,,vWbyM'-.ba replied,-"suchv a .f party ' as 'those we have attended.'; We must have an elegant dinner, and dancing after it." - ; s;Dancin!r in a minister's house 1". ex- claimed Mr. W, in surprise.-, - , v ! "Why, yes,' certainly replied his wife,! coaxingly. ,iiou will not dance, the par-' - ty will be mine; and then we have been to similar parties all the winter.'. ' " ' J . C "True, true," be mut'ered, with" a per plexed air and sat silent for some time -A1 length he said, "Yes, Mary," you may ' make a party, give a dinner, and, if the - "r . guest desire it, you may dance." - ' - " ; ;'' Thank you, love, thank you,'. cried bis - " delighted wife, throwing her arms around - his neck, and imprinting a kiss upon bis -"fcheek. - , . - K. :':? . , ."But I have some stipulations to make : about it,' said Mr. ,W J must select and - . invite the guests, and you must allow me - - t r r : . t-u . i. piace tuujo ut wy iiiruiiic uisues uu iuc table." , . ' ; ,- ;..';,. u,r'.,;. ., " . , "As you please, love,", she answered.de- lighted!, "but when shall it be?" r t "Next Wednesday, if you please." - -Cf . But our furniture and window draper ies are very o;d fashioned.'; It is now time we had new. V; ".y , - . MI should think it hardly necessary to re furnish our rooms, Mary. All our furni ture is excellent of its kind." "But our smooth carpels, -white draper ies, and cane ehairs, have such a cold look. Do consent to have the rooms ne wly fitted; we can move these things to the unfurn . . lahed chambers." ) '-r' , t.Vv. -"And of what uso jwill they be in those rooms which we never occupy '' Besides, ( it is now nearly spring, and lo fit up for winter seems superfluous.", -I ' "Well, I would not care," she persisted, ' "were it not that people will call us parsi monious and ungenteel. 'bPhj if tbaCs all," he' said, gaily, "I will - promise to spend one thousand dollars on ' j ' iLe evening of the party, not in furniture, ' however, but in a manner fur more gratify: ing to our guests, 'and profitable to our selves, and which shall exonerate us from all imputation of parsimony; nd you may -"'V expend irvdres3, estables, and desert,' just I c what sum you please; and do not forget .'the wines." ''..'"-'.'''"r'. '.'' v-' -m . And'so (he colloquy, ended. ' The min- ister resumed his studies, and bis wife gave -" ' ' her mind-Id the consideration of the dress - " which, would bo most becoming, and the Tiands that were the most expensive. 7fcea next she, went busily about her "pre parations; wondering all the time how her husband-would expend the thousand dol . lars; but as she bad learned something of le eccentricity of his character, she doubt ed net that he meant to give an agreeable ; aurprise; and her' curiosity grew so great that she could hardly sleep during the in terval. At length the momentous day ar ' rived. The arrangeme.its were all com plete, and Mrs. W . retired to perform the a" important business of arraying her fine , pi'son in fine attire." She lingered long at tha toilet, relying on the fasbionnble un - punctuality of the fashionable people, and . at length, when everything was complete. ' she left the room, arrayed like Ju.liih of i oldgloriously, to allare the eyes all who f ' should Idok upon ter, and full of sweet , f!,siles and graces, nolwitstanding the un- ' comfortable pinching of her shoes and cor- Mti; Her husband met her in ball: 1 MVell, my dear, our gues'.s have all ar - , rive 1," he said, and opened the c! :or of the receiving room. .Wonderful! won derfulf , 'Vbat an assemtly 1 Them were congre '" rated the crippled, the maimed, tnd the ' tHnd, the palsied, and the extreme e -t J. . A group of children from the Almshouse 4 were a! jo there, .who regarded ; the lady, " locia wi;b mouths wide open, others with , both han.ia thrust into their hair, while oth ers peeped cut from behind tb furniture, , to te covert ct wcica they bad retreated , from her dazzlb presence. At first she "f.tras petrif.ed with astonishment, then a dis- ' floasure crossed her f ice, till, having run ,. hsr eyes over- the r:: :U3 assembly, she met tbe comic. illy ' grave expression of her husband's countenance, when she burst in to a violent fit of laughter, during he .pa roxyism ofwhich, the bursting of her cor set laces' could, be distinctly beard by the comp ny.. . ' si'' -" "Mary!" said her busband, sternly. She suppressed her mirth, stammered an excuse, and ndded; " J "You will forgive me, and believe your selves quite welcome " . -u- -t -. -Thit ia well ilone," whispered Mr W.; then turning to tbe company, he said.' "-' ' My friends, as my wife is not acquaint ed with you, I will now make a lew pre, e'ntations."! ' . ..'- " .... Tben leading her towards an emaciated creature, whose distorted liml s were una ble to support his body, be said : . -.Thi gentleman, Mary, is the Kev; Mr. Bnwn who in hia youth iaveted much, ani-eit lured much, in the cause qf our coininoif Master. . A ' violent rh'eura'att m, " induced by colds contracted among the new settle inents of the West, where he was enriiiel in preaching the Gospel to the poor, hue re duced him to his present condition ' Thu lady, bis wife, has piously sustained im and by her own labor procured mainten ance fur herself and him. . But she is old as you now see.'.'. ' . - ' Then tarnu g to a group of silver locks, and threadbare coats, he continued.' aTh's are soldiers of the Revolution. .They were all sons of , rich inen : Tbe wen' out in their young stieneth to defend their op pressed country. They endured hardships, tods, and sufferings; ami such as we hard ly deem it possibly for men to endure and live. They returned home at the close of the war, maimed in ' their limbs and with broken constitutions, to find their patrimo nies destroyed by fire or tbe chances oi war, or their pro pen i a otherwise wrested from them Ami these men live in poverty, and neglfct in the land, for the prosperity of which, they sacrified their all, Thest venerable ladies are wives of those patriots, and widows of others who have gone to their reward. .They could tell tales that would thrill our heart and make it bet-ter."- 'I i, - Then turning to another, he said: "Thi is the learned and celebrated Dr. M who saved, hundreds "of- lives during the s poued epidemic; but his great succes roused the animosity of his medical breth ren, who succeeded in ruining bis practice; and when blindness came upon him, he was forgotten by those whom he had de livered from de- th. This lovely creature is his only child, and she is motherless. ' She leads him daily by the h nd, and earns the food she sets before him. Yet- her learning and accomplishments are wonder ful. She is the author of those exquisite poems which appenr occasionally in the Majrazine," Ttese children," said he, turning to thr group of juveniles who were gathered at the other end of the room, "were orphaned in infancy, by the Asiatic cholera ; and their hearts have seldom been cheered by a smile, or their palates regaled by delirious food. Now dry your eyes, love, and leai on to the dining room."' . She obeyed, and, notwithstanding her emotion, the thumping of coarse shoes, t.nd the rattling of canes, crutches, wooden legs behind her, well nigh threw her into an other indecorous lauirh. ... ", To divert her attention, she glanced over the , table. There stood the dishes for which her husband bad stipulated, in the shape ' of two monstrous, homely looking meat -pies, and two enormous platters of baked meats and vegetables, looking, like mighty mountains, among the delicate viands ' which she had prepared for the company she expected. She took her place and prepared to da the table honors ; but her busband, after a short thanksgiving to a bountiful God, addressed tbe company with, "Now, brethren, help yourselves and one another to such - as you deem prefera ble. I will wait upon the chthtren." A hearty andjovi-tl meal was made, the minister setting the example and as the hearts of the old soldiers were warmed with wine, they became g.trru'ous, and each re counted some wonderful or thrilling adven ture of the revolutionary war; and the old lady 'told ner tales of privation and suffer ing, interwoven with the histories of fat hers, brothers, or 'overs, who died for liberty. - Mrs. W was sobbing convulsively when her busband came round. He observed it, ana loucntni? ner utrmiy upon me snomuer. whispered: - "My love, shall we have dancing?" .That word, with its ludrtcous associa tion, fairly threw her into hysterics,7 and she laughed and wept at once. '' When she became quiescent, Mr. W thus addressed the company; v " ' UI fear my friends, that you will think my wife a fnvolous and inconsistent crea ture, and I must therefore apologise for her.. We were married only last falland have attended several - gay parties, which our rich' neighbors gave in honor of our nuptials, and my wife thought it would be genteel for us to give a dinner in return. I consented, on conditions; one of which Was, that I should be allowed to invite tbe guests. So, being a professed minuter of Him who was made so lowly in heart, I followed the word of command r But when thou makest a feast, call in the poor the lame, the maimed, and blind.' You all recollect the passage. Mrs. W not knowing who her-guests were, was highly deligbu-d with the ruse I had pro vided ;and I do not oelieve that there has been .so noble and honors ble a company assembled ihis winter. yJ My wife desired i.ew furniture, lest we should be deemed parsimonious I pledged myself to expend one . thousand dollars in a manner more easing to our guests and which should coviate any such imputation. --.'- . - - f And now, 10 you p. t riot lathers, and iheaa nuriinsr motners of our country,5 I present the one thousand dollars .; It is just one ' hundred dollars to each - soldier and soldier's widow. " It is a mere trifle. No thanks, tny friends." . Then addressing the children, he said v "You will each be removed to-morrow to excellent places ; acJif you' continue to be iuduinous and pt-rfiicily ' honest in word Hnd deed, you will become respecta ble members of society." . v : . : vTo Dr. M- he saidt,- . ."To you, tffrlef , God, ft owe nyy life." I did nof know " your locaity neither had I heard of your misfortunes, until a few days ince. " 1 can. never repay the debt ( owe you ; but if you aml oof daughter will 'ccept tbe neat 'furnished house" adjoining mine, I will see that you never want a rain " . " , ,"You, Mr. Brown, are my. fat her in the Lord. - Under your preaching I first .be? C'.me convinced of sin, and it was your voice that brought me the words of salya ion.' ; You will remain in, my house..

' T ) "TUnFING" A FRESHMAN; It sometimes : happens that a. crowd of college rogues, i:i Hiternpting to "green" a new comer, yet most consumedly deceive themselves. We- remember a case - in point. . . - A In the . college of L located some where in Alabama, were n crowd of 4-rare devils," who never let an opportunity, slip to "do a new comer. - r; - Well,' it so bnp)ened in the course of human events, that out friend Tom H who by the way is a capital fellow, enter ed thr " college, - and thereupon the "rare ones" befurementioned immediately held a consultation in regard to the propriety of trying Tom's spunk. ' " . . ' "You s-e boys," said Harry W who belonged . to that class of beings called dandies, "you see boys, Tom's from the country and I don't believe he's got much spunk, nohow, and so we'll scare him smartly," k -Bui how'H you fix 11 j" . queried anoth er. - - -Why, three or four of you eo out the other side of town to niirht, and hide by the side of the road , and I'll gel. Thomas out to take a wnlk ; and when we get to where you are you must give a yell, fire a pistol, I'll fall dead, and Tom will come chargin' back to town as if a thousand cata mounts were after him. " .v This plan was agreed to, and as noon as tne proper time arrived Harry; look Tom out under i the full expectation of seeing him go back to town in a perfect agony 'of : terror; But AIus ! the poet nays : ' : .- . , . .... .. . ' Th-b-t laid nchemtm of mic sod rat-n. ' . Gang aft atfleo." T' Harry and Tom bad got beyond tbe bord rspflbe village and just passed by a huge mud bole, which, like the Slough of Despond, strelshed across the way, : and were conversing in high glee,4 wh n. bang ! went a gun in their ears and down drop ped Harry, calling out: . 1 : - "Oh, . Iord I I'm shot I save yourself l'om: run for your -life." ' "By Jove I" replied Tom, colly, "it wont do to leve you here," ' and suiting the ac tion to the - word, he took H irry by the heels and snaked him to the' middle of ih mud hole aforesaid, where he dropped him; then drawing an ugly looking repeater, he cocked it, and turned towards the ambush, exclaiming: - . - - . "Come out of that boys: if there s any fun going on, I'm in for a share. I've ruti more men iban you ever saw: by a darned aighf !" , How the boys rushed out and congratu lated Tom how" Harry crawled out of the mud and prou.ised to treat the crowd not to tell it, mid how they did tell it. history never said; but Tom's spunk was never toubied ' after that, and we are assured that Hurry never assisted again in '-Tur hug a f reshtnan."

V ; . The Annals of Southern Methodism, for 1855, will be a 12 mo. volume of not less tha n 360 pages, well printed, from stereotype plates, upon good paper. It will contain alt available statistics in every department of the operations of the METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH. SOUTH. The design embraces the Plan of Episcopal visi tation; accounts of the sessions of all the Confer ences held in, 15G5, the appointments, numbers, dec; a summary of all reported revivals, notices of tha dedication of new -Churches; reports of College . Commencements, with all else connected with our educational movements; a resume of our Mission ary operations, embracing whatever seems of gene ral Interest in '.hat department; the movements of the Tract and Sunday Srhool Societies ; whatever appertains to otir publishing interests, with an nouncements of all New Bcoka published by our Concern, or written by Southern Methodists ; what theCbnrch is doing for the instruction of Slaves Historical and biographical Essays; interesting personal reminiscences; and a miscellany of im portant facta and incidents. s THE " ANNALS." It is belie ved. will be a fair and full daguerreotype of the progress of Southern-Methodism. It will occur to yon st once, lhat if 1 have cue-. ceeded in preparing this volume with any rcasona ble amount of skill, it will not only be a very tgree able book for present reading, but that every year will add to its value as showing the posture of Sou thern Methodism at this particular juncture of its history. . . THIS DIGEST : WifJ be specially valuable iaa Book of reference. To whatever question of general interest may an. i in rrgard to the events of 1355, it is hoped that a satisfactory anawer will be found In ihe Annals. VV bale it is believed that - the Ministers in our -Church wiil desire copies aa soon as lie y can bo obtained, I have paid regard to the what I suppos ed the tastesof general readers. The older mem bers of the Church will find stetihcs that carry them back 10 their earlier compeers, aa in thi de partment 1 have not restricted myself lo tbe I, i sto ry of tbe year, butbave ccikaed whatever has ap peared during tha year, which, aa h!story and biog raphy, preserves the memoirs of the olden time, and of the early men of Southern Methodism, The work wiil be published st On Dollar a copy.
