And little Pat trembles to hear him. *'A poer little fellow, alone ?nd forlorn, "Wno never know parent or doty; .His head is uncovered, his jacket ia torn, And hungor has withered his beauty. "The white-headed gentleman, ?hut in the box, Seems growing more angry each minuto; He doubles his fist, and the cushion ho knocks, As if anxious to know what ia in it. "He scolds at the people who sit in tho pews Pat takes them for kings and princesses; (Tvith his little bare feet-be delights in their shoes, In his rags he feels proud of their dresses.) "'Tho parson exhorts them to think of their need, To turn from tho world's dissipation! The naked to clothe, and tho hungry to feed Pat listens with strong approbation! "And when the old clergyman walks down tho aisle, Pat runs up to moot him quite gladly; 4Sure, give mo my dinner!' Bays he with a smile, 'And a jacket-I want them quito badly.' "Tho kings and princesses indignantly stare. Tho beadle gets word of tho danger, And, shaking his silver-tipped stick in tho air. Looks knives at the poor little stranger. "But Pat's not afraid; he is sparkling with joy? And cries-who so willing to cry it? 'You'll give me my dinner-I'm such a poor boy; You said so-now don't you deny itt' "Tho pompous old beadle may grumblo and glare, And growl about robbers and arson ; But the boy who has faith in tho sermon stands there, And smiles at tho white-headed parson! "Tho kings and princesses may wonder and frown, And whisper he wants better teaching; But the white-headed parson looks ten? derly down On the boy who. baa faiih in his preach? ing. "Ho takes him away without question or blame, As eager as Patsy to press on, Por he thinks a good dinner (and Pat thinks the same) Is the moral that hes in tho lesson." [Translated for the Phonix. Wesel STewa-Germany. In this city died, some time ago, the Reutier, F. W. Rentz, Enten market, No. 1,235, a well-known per? sonage, born at Wesel. He was, in many respects, an eccentric, queer old man; always wore an overcoat and large beaver hat, which he never took off, even in a house; always walked in the streets with a small pipe in his mouth, one hand on his back. He was well liked in company because his memory was well stored with anecdotes. He was a quiet citi? zen, and did not give any provoca? tion to any one-never was married; iour feet six inches high, and.hunch? backed. Whoever did not know him thought, at the first glance, to dis? cover a hunch on his breast, nntil they learned that tho old gentleman wore a long beard, plaited on his breast. But a good many doubted this story until, after his death, every one could convince himself of the truth. According to his last will, the physician took off his beard with the lower skin of his ohio, which was tanned, and the beard, whica has been well preserved, cleaned and washed thoroughly, is now for show at the above named house. The beard is eleven and a half feet long, and a half foot wide. Into whose hands this very rare natural curiosity will come, is not known yet. The following comical story is told .in the Prov News, Bremen, Ger .many: A shoemaker, who was called on board on one of the steamers lying in the harbor to take measure for boots and shoes, was in the act to .leave the ship, when ho saw an entic? ing half-filled tub of butter on -deck; and, thinking himself unob? served, conld not withstand the 'temptation to take some of the va? luable contents. Not having any .instruments in his pocket, he made a bold grasp with his hand and hid the happy contents in his hat. On the rapid approach of an individual, in order not to betray himself, he pnt on bin bftt-not caring foi tho unhappy situation in which he would be placed by longer staying. The mate of the steamer, who had wit? nessed the whole transaction, calls the thief back, requesting him to take his measure for a pair of boots, just at the moment the latter was to leave the vessel. After having in? vited the shoemaker, for this pur Eose, into the cabin, the mate asked im why he did not put off his hat, being in such au awful perspiration. He pretended not to understand, but the mate, calling the witnesses, he was compelled to take off his hat, and the botter, having been melted, ran down thedeUnquent'shead, amid the universal acclamation of the crew: "Old fellow, how you are perspiring!" In view of this fact, the shoemaker was escorted, not very ceremoniously, out of the cabin, amidst the laughter and hurrah of the crew. The repentance that is delayed un? til old age, is but to > often a regret for the inability to commit more sin. Among the gift? to a newly mar-' ried pair at 8> town in New Jersey, the other evening, was a broom sei to the lady, accompanied with the following sentiment: < "This trifling gift accept from m< Its nae I woola commend; In ennshine oise the brushy part, In storms tbs ether end."

An excellent Paper for Country Reading. ITS POLITICS DEMOCRATIC IX THE OREAT FIOUT AGAINST RADICAL USURPATION. TO TUE FEOPLE OF TUE SOUTH'. THE WEEKLY GLEANER-Devoted to the rehabilitation of tho South in its former prosperity-is offered to subscribers at tho low rato of $1.50 for six months. The annals of the American Republic show no political campaign comparable in tho magnitude of its issues and tho mo? mentousness of its results to that for tho Presidency, now pending. Indeed, the very lifo of free government is on trial, aud it will be a sad commentary on tho capacity of the people for tho exercise of that high trust if they, thc jurors who are I to try tho issue, pronounce a verdict of self-condemnation. If tho South has any hope it is in tho success of the Democratic party in the coming Presidential election; and every citizen is vitally interested in tho progress of the battle, and cannot afford to bo without a sound and rcliablo nowspaper. As an organ, not only of sound Demo? cratic principles, but as a vehicle of ge? neral news, the GLEANER is confidently commended to Southern support. A largo eight-pago paper, of forty-eight columns, filled with tho contributions of ablo cor? respondents, the daily wealth of tele? graphic communication and readable edi- j torials. Especially will it bo valuable as an organ to disabuse tho Northern mind ot the falsehoods in relation to Southern thought and actions, with which it is tho industrious vocation of certain parties to poison the springs of Northorn feehng on Southern subjects. In this view of tho matter, no moro valuable aid to the tru6 reconstruction o.' tho country and restora? tion of just sentiment at the North toward the South can be rendered than by sub? scribing to tho WEEKLY GLEANER and aending it tc acquaintances and friends in the Northern States. We ask the aid of such of our political comrades as shall see this prospectus, in tho distribution pf the paper; especially duiing the progress of thc impending campaign. Tho WEEKLY GLEANER is puhliehed every Wednesday morning, and mailed to single subscribers at $3.00 per anum; Six Months, $1.60; Throe Months, 75o.; Single Copies, 10o. Sample copios will be sent on receipt of address. Money for sub? scription ahonld be sent in drafts or post office orders, but may be sent in a regis? tered letter.
