Hon LORENZO ,aised .he Devil.

"A few years since, whist the famous I,o.
rcnzo Dow was travelling through a certain
state, ne came 10 solitary house inthe woods,
and asked for lodging during the night The
woman OF the house reiuctantly consented;
(hcr husband being absen, and not b.ing ex-
pected home that night.) Lorenzo got his
supper, attended family worship and went 10
bed in room adjoining the ono whore the
woman was, and separated from it by roogh
PARTITION with large cracks between the
boards. LorcDzo could not get TO sleep, and
therefore lay in wSkeful posture for some
ho,lrs.--About midnight he heard a gentle
tap at tho door, which the woman opened 10
sturdy looking fellow, who il seemed, was
tho iadys paramour, whispered to him that
Lorenzo was IN tho next roCm, and he must
speak very low for fear Of awaking him. The
lovers sat up u while conversing together,
and then retired TO bed. In the course OF on
hour the husband unexpectedly began to
thucdcr OF the door The lovers were put
toto terrible consternalion but the female
mind is wonderful for expedien,s. The para.
Ipoor was slowed into large barrel and
some cotton locks thrown over him. The
woman opened the door and received her
husband with as much tendcrhcssa as surprise
He was about three sheets in the wind, that
u to say q little Intoxicated, and began TO
talk loud and swear. She hushed him by in.
forming him tina, minister, the famous Lo-
reuzo Dow, was asloep in the next room.
The husband upon hearing this replied that
Lorenzo should got up and sup with him
the woman's cntreatics, and Loronzo's excus-
cs were in vain, drunken man is most on-
reasonable being. Lorenzo had 10 get up.
Well (said The husband) l understand you
can raise the dssil, wish you would being
him up now, wish very much to see him.
Lorenzo observed he made no such pre,cn-
sions. The drunkard was importunate and
would hsvo the devil raised at any rate. Lo-
renzo told BIN he would be sadly terrified at
the sight. No said the husband knot king
his Es,s together, defy him we'll (said I.o-
reoso) since you will have him raised, re-.
quest you would open the door so that he
may escape, otherwise he might carry of q
aud the husband prepared for the attack
When Lorenzo Get the cotton on fire in the
barrel, out came the Devil amidst the flames
and mede rapid retreat through the door.
The husband reported the story about in the
ncighborhood aud upon its being questioned,
he went before a magistrate snd made oath
to il. Il gained such cvidcnce that Loreozo
was compelled To explain the mystery by
clappling hafr cf horns on the head Of the
swaggefing fool.
