M SeGGoRS AT NuLLyj Mas. Emiy T. V. SLOANE, mother of the young lady whose wedding brought the lutocrats of the country together the other day, is very charitably inclined. She termined some time last week to send a package of clothes to the poor fund of Dr. John Hall's Fifth Avenue Presbyterian parish. Accordingly she had the garments done up In a nice bundle and was arranging the finalities of the transaction with one of her rvants when her brother, Cornelius Vanderbilt, arrived at the house and sent word hat he must see her at once. “Can't you wait a moment ? 10 Dr. Hall's chure! “Oh,” replied Cornelius Vanderbilt, “Iam going right by the church oa my way down, Give me your bundle, and I will let the sexton have it.” Mrs. Sloane was very grateful for this kind offer, and it is in every way characteristic lof the man of millions, who is never so happy as when an opportunity to be useful presents itself. So down Fifth Avenue walked brother Cornelius, bundle in arm, and Iwhen he reached the church he found the sexton there. The latter received the object thankfully, with many words of appreciation of the kindness of the great lady who had remembered the needs of the church. Not many days after this Mrs, Sloane herself, on coming out of church amid a fashionable concourse, happened to espy the sexton. * John,” said she, “did you get that bundle I sent you the other day ?”” “ Yes'm,” was the cheerful reply ; ‘* your coachman brought it Tuesday, mum."—Ex. she asked. ‘*] am anxious to send this bundle down Awos J.

The son of the moon and stars was seated propped up by cushions smoking placidly when the royal emissary was ushered into his presence. “+ His royal highness bids me ask your majesty if it would please you to witness the race for the Derby ? said he, bowing low. *** Does his royal highness mean that I should go and see a horse race?’ inquired the Sultan blandly. “+ He does, your highness.’ “+ Tell the Prince that I cannot do so,’ replied the ruler of the faithful. * Why should I want to go?

Javes Payy tells of a monk who, having to preach upon St. James’ day, and being implored not to be so long winded as usual, good naturedly consented. He mounted the pulpit and thus addressed the congregation: ‘My brethren, three months ago I preached a eulogy upon the saint whose festival you this day celebrate. AsI doubt not you were all very attentive to me and as I have not learned that he has done anything in the meantime I have nothing to add to what I said on a former occasion."—Argonaut. patioeal “News Company, sale by all Nowsdeaters to Qreat Britain.
