He deposited his saddle bags i the house, and led his horse to th stable. Meanwhile the mother an daughter were debating the point a to what sort of a preacher he was.'He cannot be a Pi-esbyterian,' sai the one, 'for he is not dressed enough. 'He is not a Methodist,' said the otl er, 'for his coat is not the right ci for a Methodist.' 'If I could find hi Hymn Book,' said the daughter, ' could tell what kind of a preacher h is,' and with that she thrust her ham into the saddle ba?*s, and pulling on a flask of liquor, sne exclaimed?'La mother, he's a Hard Shell Baptist.'

The rapid and unpa ralleled increase ot crime 111 our cuy 11 is attracting attention all over the u country : exaggerated stories of mur- i & ders, which in simple fact were bad J s* enough, are circulated far and wide, y1 until country people begin to hesitate J" in their journey hitherward, doubting ?" if their lives would be safe in the ^ commercial metropolis of the county. 30 Pcaccablc citizens are knocked down in open day, women are dragged into blind alleys and abused, street fights and hacchinal orgies, make night a 1 time of trembling instead ofn^^ot]^^r 'SKJIS obliged todefend themselves ts. with fire-arms ; policemen themselves i- are murdered by drunken desperadoes xs and after all this we see well informed d n.'inors linnst. nf tlio inn nf nnn I . ;e police government, and liow safe life 1 d and property are in New York. ] 11 Under such circumstances what is " the ii8c of our endeavoring to rouse ' 11 the authorities to action ?

The Ideal being more easily comprehended and nore captivating, when combined in nnmA ri?<rr?A villi thu Material?we will bring the Artist's skilul hund into requisition to illustrate the mind's :onceptious, and to render the Family Friend as leurly perfect as it is possible to make a physical neans adapted to a mental eud.
