rOld coat, for som? thr*e or four seasons
We've been jolly comradeu, but now
We part, old companion, forever;
To fate and, the fashion I bow.
You'd look well enough at a dinner,
I'd wear you with pridcM a ball;
But I'm droning to night for a wedding?
My own?and you'd not do at all.
You've too many wine stains about you,
You're scented too much with cigar*;
When the gaslight shines full on your collar,
It glitter* like myriad stars;
That wouldn't look "well at my'wedding;

You've rested on nifiiiliy oileil Btairway?
Too often; when sweet eyes were bright,
And somebody's ball druar~not Nellie'* -
Flowed round you in rivers of white.
There's a reprol ate looseness about you;
Should 1 wear you to-night, I believe,
As Ioaine with my bride from the alter.
You'd laugh in your wicked old alcove
When you felt there tho tremulous prchaure'
Of her hand, in its delicate glove.

And furnish a feast for the moth;

Wit and Justice in Missouri. .
It is well known that some of the
judges in Missouri were very reluct
ant k enforce the law against minis
ters of the gnspel for exercising tlmir
profossinn without having taken the
test oath, and avuilcd themselves of
every pretense lo discharge those who
wore accused,
Three ministers, charged with tho
-tirifsm . of preaching 'the glorious gos
pel of tho Son of God,' wore arraigned
bclbro a certain judge. They were
regularly indicted, and it was under
stood that tho proof against them was
very clear.
'Are you a preacher?' said the
judge to one of them.
'Ycs, sir,' replied the culprit.
'To what denomination do you
belong?'
j '1 am a Christain, sir.' (With
dignity.)
'A Christian 1 What do you mean
by that?. Are not all preachers
Christians?'
'I belong to the sect usually called,
but wrongly called, Campbcllitcs.'
(Not so much dignity.) .
'Ah ! Then you believe in baptiz
ing people in ordfcr that they may be
born agfiin, do you ?'
'I do, sir.' (Defiantly.)
'Mr. Sheriff, discharge that man.
He is an innocent man! Htfia [n
dicttid for preaching the gospel, and
there is not a word of gospel in the
stuff he prcachos I It is only Rome of
Alexander Campell's nonsense. Dis
charge the /nan!'
Exit Cauipbcllite, greatly rejoicing.
'Are you a preacher?' said the
judge, addressing the second criminal.
'I am, sir,' said the miscreant.
'Of what, denomination arc you V
'I am a Methndi-t, sir.'
'Do you believe in falling from
grace ?'
'1 do, sir.' (Without hesitation.)
'Do you believe in sprinkling
people instead of immersing them V
'1 believe (bat people can be i>an
tized by sprinkling.' (Much oilbn.i
ed.)
'Do you bcHeve in baptizing babies?'
'It is my opiuibn, sir, that babies
ought to be baptized.' (Indignantly.)
'Nor a word of Scripture for any
thing of the kind, sir!' snouted his
honor. 'Mr. Sheriff, turn that man
loose! He is no preacher of the gos
pel ! The gnspel ir truth, and there
is not a word of truth in what that
man leaches! Turn him loose! It
is ridiculous to indict, men on such
frivolous pretense; ! Turn hiin loose!'
Methodist disappears, nut at all
hurt iu his feelings by the judicial
abu.se he has received,
'What are you, sir?' said the judge
io the third felon.
'?Some people call men preacher,
sit.' ( Meekly.)
'What is your denomination V
'I ant: a Baptist.' (Head up.)
His honor'6 countenance foil, and
he looked sober and sad, for ho him
80If was of the same persuasion. After
r pause he said :
'Do you believe In Valvation by
grace ?'.
'I d*.' (Firmly.)
'Do you teach that immersion only
is baptism ?'
'That is my doctrine.' (Earnestly.)
'And you baptize none but those
who believe in Jesus Christ?'
'That is my faith and practice.'
(With emphasis.)
'My friend, f fear it will go hard
ktith you. I see you are indicted for
for preaching' tho gospel, and it up
pears to lue by your own confession
that you are guilty.'
Baptist looked pretty blue.
'May it yleaae your honor,' said the
Baptist's counsel, springing to his leet,
'thai man never preached the gospel.
I have heard him aay a hundred times
that he only tried. I have heard him
try myself.'
'Mr. Sheriff, discharge this man 1
He is imtiudictcd for trying. There
is nothing said about the mere effort!
Lot him ; go, sir! 1 am astonished
that thft State Attornoy should annoy
tho Court with such frivolous indict
ments !'
Exit Baptist determined to 'try'
again.
Court adjourned for'lickor.'
The Saratoga correspondent of the
.Vow York Commercial tells the follow
ing story :
They wore two Madison avenue
girls?real beauties. They were talk
ing beneath the trees of Clarendon
pdvk, nnd we were sitting in Jixhulnile.
at our window over-head eavesdrop
ping- /Eavesdropping?- Yes, gentle
reader, for that is the privilege of
knights of the quill. They hrc not
as other men. Tho sanctity of quiet
tete a-tetes is notsacred to them. They
are bound by the oat'.i*? of their pro
fession to tell all they can find out of
everybody's business, and tho more
unscrupulous they arc in getting hold
of something to tell tho more worthy
are they to enter the scribblers' heav
en. One of the y< ung ladies aforesaid
wnc a blonde, the other a sort of half
and-half; that is to say, she had light
hair, hut not too light, complexion
ditto, but eyes as black as charcoal.
She was the gayest little maiden I
ever saw. It seemed as if sho could
hardly contain herself. She began to
speak as.'follows: \
'Nell/ said she, 'I'm going home to
morrow.'
'Going homo tomorrow? What
for, pray?'
'Because'T cirfCbehave Vyself 'T
?Weli, oufT with it! Jefibife] What'
have you been doinjj?'
'Lots of things.'
'Well, give us tho first.'
'You know Prank Kennedy, Nell ?'
'That soft, simpering fellow, that
always tells you how'chawming'you
looh?'
'Exactly. This morning I saw him
coming, and made up my mind to
la lie him down;'
?And what did you du V
'I put my diamond brooch in it
j chair; pin upwards, and asked him to
1 lit down.'
j 'H o sal, of cotti^e, and what thou ?'
! 'If- jumped up ami yelled, 'Oh,
my? V
! 'What's the trouble?' f asked.
'Nothing in particular; only 1 thought
of nn engagement at this very mom-1
cut; you must excuse me. And oil'be
went, and would you believe it, Nell,
the brooch was .sticking to him.'
'That whs awful, Jennie,'and the
two girls giggled together for live min
utes. Kell broke the spell by demand
ing 'What next?' 'Why, you see, 1
was talking with that young sprig of a
clergyman; the Itev. Tom Parsons.
We Inul nearly talked each other to
death, when, as luck would havo it,
he made s.mie remarks about mosqui
toes. 1 r.vas on my native heath at
once, and began to toll him of my
experience at Koeknway. 'Did they
bite very hard?' inquired th? Key.
Thomas. '1 wish, Mr.I'ursdnr,'said
J 1, 'you could see my legs and judge
? !'</! Yourself
'That was a horrid speech. Jouuie,
how could you say such a thing?'
'Why, Nell, it.popped out before I
knew it.' , u.
'And what did Mr. Parsons say ?'
?He blushed clean to the eyes, and
I ra?awny.'
An Old Time Marriage Outfit
Iu these days of centennials, ac
counts of.anything which occurred
one hundred years ago prove very in
teresting to the general reader. No
doubt many a uowjj-married couploj
lor those who are about to be joined in.
[wedlock will be doubly interested in
learning what was considered a good
marriage' outfit 'in 1770, by a (ami y
in the casern part of Lilchficld county
who were in gond^circunistanecs. A
frieud who furnishes us with the items
=ays the following'outfit in kind and
amount p.was considered splendid iu
jthos.c dst^'e. If such was the case now,
voting men 'would no Ibligbr bring
forward as tlteir Chief excuse for lead
ing n life of ..single blessedness that
getting married isloo expensive.

' Ah interesting marriage eeremotiy
took, place Jost .night at 0 o'clock at
No. 2 College street. Mr. William
\hi Sang^tnc Veil known Chinaman
employed at Wilson "Bros, tea depot,
on King > street, was nnited in mar
riage with Miss Clara Davis, a native
of this city. The wedding cerujuony
was performed by the lie v. Dr. Bow
man of the Went worth street Luther
an Church, in the most solemn and
impressive manner, and the remnks
made by this eloquent Divine were,
exceedingly npptopriutc to the oc
casion, and were listened to with in
tense interest hy all. There were up
ward.-; of sixty persons present,'the in
vited guests of the bride and groom.
Mr. Ah Sang was attired in the full
and complete costume of his native
country, the same being a richly
flowered sat'tu blouse, heavily trim
med with gold, points of a deep blue
and the shoes Usually worn in China.
The bride woro a sntiu dress richly
trimmed with lace, etc., of foreign
importation, a handsome veil trailing
several feet, and a magnificent Wreath j
of orange blossoms deeoratcd her head
and brow, wnleh with her soft blue
eyes and beautiful face, gave her ?more
the appearance of some fairy which
the imagination pictures, tbau a hu
man being. The bride and groom
.seemed exceedingly happy, and if we
may judge by present appearances, \vc
predict for them a happy and prosper
ous future. Mr. Ah Sang has con
cluded to remain here permanently
and speaks in the very highest terms
of the kindness shown him by the
Messrs. Wilson Bros, his employers.
