Sir Hannibal stared; his eyes dilated-- Until each strained ball of sight seemed bursting frm his head. Heaven and earth! he bad been humbugged ; but that be, before whose wrath a wholeship's company trembled, and to whose order the pertest spider brusher dared not offer a reply--that he should be re- garded as rotigh ridden by his wife, and debarred from using his wooden substitute withott obtainig feminine permission before he strapped it on!

She showed him into a tasty littl8 parlor, then asked to be excused for a few minutes. As she passed out' of the door a smile hoveredabout her lips, but the drummer did not see it: Passing down a little hall she tapped lightly at auother door, which was oponed by a gentleman of decidedly ministerial aspect: + Mr. C.' she sald, 'ther is gentleman in the patlor who seems to be a very anxious inquirer, won't you go and talk to him ?' 'Certainly, my dear,' answered her pastot who was prompt to improve the opportunity to attend to his business of saving souls as men of different callings are to drive sharp bargains, Ho hastened to the parlor glasses and all and grasped the drummer warmly by the hand, exclaiming heartily ; «Glad to see you my friend, very glad to see you.' - The drummer stared at the oli gentleman in astonishment, and wondering vainly who he was and why he was very glad to sea him, Far The minister drew a chair close beside him, and laying one hand on his knee began very earnestly : our young friend tells me that you are an anxious inquirer I am al. ways glad to talk with anyone who is in- terested in matters relatiug to the welfare of the soul,' * ih) The minister paused for a moment and the drummer began to turn hot and cold.
