Little Pat mA U?? Parson.
"Ho stand? a^ the door Of th? cbnrch,
No trouhlef ome beadle is near him,
The proacher ie talking of sinners and
ein? . .
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."

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."

THE WEEKLY GLEANER,
A LARGE EIQUT-rAGE JOCRNAL OF
NEWS, POLITICS, LITERATURE.
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
