ANEcDoTE-A FAcr.--A young man
was seen to enter a church in time Of SER
vice--he paused a.the entrance--the con-
gregation stared-iie advanced a few steps
and deliberatel y. surveying the whole assem-
bly,, commenced afslow march up the broad
aisle-not a pew vas opened-the audience
were too busy for ciyility-he wheeled,
and in the same manner performed march,
stepping, as if to Roslin Castle, or the dead
march in Saul, and disappeared. A few
moments after, he re-entered witha huge
block upon his shoulders, as he could well
stagger under; his countenance was immo-
vable-again the good people stared, and
half rose from their seats, with their books
in their hands. Atlength he placed the block
in the very centre Of the principal passage,
and seated himself upon it. Then, for the
first time, the reproach was felt! Every
pew door in the house was instantly flung
open But no-the stranger was gentle-
mamie came not there for disturbance
he moved not-smiled not but preserved
the utmost decorum until the service was
concluded, when he deliberately shoulder
ed his block, and to the same slow step,
bore it off, and replaced it where he found
lit. The congregation is now themost at
tentive and polite to strangers of any in
America. Baltimore paper.
