OLIVER OAKWOOD.
AS member of the Society OF Friends
was lately travelling between Darlington
and Leeds, in one OF the stage coaches,
he happened to fall in company with an
infdel, who made no scrupIe of publicly
declaring his impious principles, and
proc laimed the Bible TO be tissue oil
incongrulties. The Quaker took all
this very calmly, and asked what the BIZ
BILE contained that was so very ridicnlous!
The inhdel, in answer, said that no man
of sense could believe that stone thrown
at a man could sink into his head and
kill hin-alluding to David and Goiiah.
The remark drew from the Quaker this
laconic reply" Young man, II Goliah's
head had been as soft as thine, | see moi
where would have been the difficulty"

Vera Cruz, with an equipment oil horses,
coaches, and servants, to establish re-

A fine road from Mexico TO Vera

New-Orleans. / his fine road is wanted,
and its advantages will be perceived not

properly surveyed would not exceed $50
miles and might wind in directions which
would lead without formidable sudden
rises, to the city Of Mexico, which lies
1900 feet above The level of the sea. For

if with our aid in helping to build up the
political institutions Of an emancipated
empire, We can contribute to its stability,
by adding to its arts, its commerce, and
its internal communications.
