Ono Smythe, tho pastor of a Presby? terian Church in New York, exoite.i tho iro of tho Presbytery by treating some newspaper reporters to gin and milk; and tho scandal having brought much discredit on tho church, they resolved to sift tho charges. Tho trial carno off Tuesday. Tho erring pastor pleaded guilty both to tho drinking of tho gin and milk and to tho association with tho reporta?, but alleged in his defence that his conduct was prompted solely by me? dicinal reasons. Tho ecclesiastical court could not, however, justify their toacher in taking tho beverage in question for his kidneys' sake, on Sunday aud in a sinful restaurant. Smythe spoke in his own defence, citing the laborious nature of his work, nud the rebuko which Christ gave his disciples iu tho coru-liold on the Sabbath day, after they had plucked thc ears of corn, ami considered that ho was justified nuder tho circum? stances. Had ho confined himself to gin pure and simple, instead of imbibing so unnatural a compound ns gin and milk, he would probably have mot with tomo little sympathy. As it was, ho received a "rebuko" from the deacons, and was solemnly warned. England wants tho Great Powers to "take Greece in hand" on account of her brigands. Batter turn hor over to the Reconstruction Committee. : 01 you say yon are lonely without me,? that you sigh for one glance of my eye; yon'ro blarneying always about mo-O! vf hy don't yon to papa apply ? r Yon men are so very deceiving, I can't believe aught that yon say; your love I will only believe in when my jointure is made out au fait. This trash about eyes, voice and glances, may do for a miss in her teens; but he who to mo mnkcs advances, must t ilk of hi? bank Btock and means. You bog me to go galavanting, to meet yon at the foot of the lane-with a k?8s, too, why, mau, you're ranting! do you think that I am wholly iusanc? When you woo a young lady of sense, sir, don't whine about sorrow and tears; it's a matter of dollar and cents, sir, no talo of romance interferes. O! poverty is not at all funny, (my Btylo I will uovor conoeal,) if I can't get a husband with money, O! I'll live and die Nora O'Neil! Mr. Cuyckanickpucks Yakutskolitmilks Sakiatskylitmiks Aukachagamuks Meku tonekutzokorts keeps a hotel at Sitka, Alaska. He says that tho Americans have the queerest namcB ho ever heard of, and it is with tho utmost difficulty he can prouounco them. At Galveston, Texas, mon go into church with their hats on, nnd smoking cigars. Now let tho choir Bing "Shoo, Fly," and tho clergyman tako gin and milk, and elope with some girl, and i Texas can bo considered reconstructed un a Puritan model. Fauny Fern says sho used to believo in beauty, but since then has "seen a bewitching belle tako of! half her hair, all her teoth, tho best of her complex I ion, two pouuds of cotton batting and a corset." Hoops for tho communion table, made , so as to make the dress set gracef ally on tho kneeling figure, is the latest dovelop I ment of fashion. Ah! It's so. - Whilo thousands fall by clashing swords, 10,000 fall by corset boards; yet giddy females (thoughtless train!) for sake of fashion, yield to pain. There is a farmer in Yorkshire who has a milo of children. His name is Furlong, and ho has four boys and four girls. Eight furlongs one mile.
