A S,cearing Justice and S,oorn Marriage
The Lynn Record relates laughabe anecdote
Of Justice of the Peace, residing few years
since, in the western part Of the States which is
too good to be lost. The Magistrate aforesaid,
was called the SUearing Justice, and the sequel
shows that he had q fair claim to the title. At q
certain March meeting having been, as usual, la.
boriously engaged through the day until late in
the evening, chiefly in administering the oaths Of
Office, he returned home overcome with fatigue
and effects of transient stimulants, and throw
ing himself into his arm chair, dropped to sleep
the form of the oaths administered by him
through the day, continued to buzz in his ears,
like the sound of the fife and drum in the head
of soldier the night after muster, when we'd
ding couple and suit presented themselves at
the house for marriage. His good wife, little
discomposed By this sudden and unexpected vi
sit, ran to her husband and called him by name,
shook him violently by the shoulder, and repeat
ed Mr.. e. Mr.. c. do pray wake up, here's q
couple come to be married.
Mr.. C. partly waking and rubbing his eyes
look ed upon the couple who were standing d.
rectIy before him. Are you the couple, said he,
addressing himself to the Hymenial candldatess
They nodded assent. Well, hold up your
hands. The bashful couple obeyed. The JUS
tice proceeded. You severally soIemnly swear
that you will perform the duties of your respec.
tive Offices, faithfully and impartialy, according
to YOUR best skill and judgment. SO help you, &c.
The confused couple and their witnesses and
friends waited, as it for something further
That's all says the justice, except my fees for
administering the oath. The fees were paid,
and the astonishsd couple with their associates,
retired alternately agitated with anxiety, doubt
aud laughter at the strange occurrence, while
the Justice never dreamed Of any thing out of
the way till informed by his faithful spouse
when it was too late to rectify the mistake.

How are the Stars the Poetry Of Naturee-Not
certainly on account Of their visible splendor; tor
the gas lamps in single street Of this metropolis
outshine the whole hemisphere on the clearest
winter evening: nor on account OF their beautiful
CONGREGATIONS; for the devices chalked on the
floor Of fashionable ballroom, to the mere ami
nal eye, would be more captivating 1t is from
causes having affinity to mind, not matter; to
truth, not semblance, that the stars may, indeed.
be called the poetry OF heaven. The bodies alone
appear to Us the identical uminaries, in size, lus'
ire, movement, and relative position, which they
appeared to Adam and Eve. in Paradise. when
"At their shady lodge arrived, both stood,
Both turned, and under open sky adored
The God that made both sky, air, earth and hea
Which they beheld; the moons resplendent
globe,
They appear to us the same as they did to Noah
and his family, when they descended from the
ark in the silence Of an unpeopled world; and, as
they did to the builders Of Babel, when the latter
projected tower whose top should reach heaven.
TBy the by we do not know whether La Place
would agree to this. Once more-and oh how
touching the thought-the stars, the unchangnls
stars, appear to US with the same placid magnlh-
cence as they were seen by the Redeemer of the
world, when having sent the multitude away, he
wen, up into mountain apart to pray; and when
evening was come he was there alone, "and con.
tinued all night in prayer to God."-Matt, xiv.
23.-Luke vi. IL.
5 "Cold mountains and the midnight air,
witnessed the fervor of thy prayer;
The desert his temptation knew,
His conflict and his victory too."-Wats
The stars, then, have been the points where all
that ever lived have met; the great, the small,
the evil, and the good; the prince, the warrior,
statesman, sage; the high, the low, the rich, the
Door; the bond and the free: Jew, Greek, Soy.

ed up from the earth to the armament, has met
every other man among the stars. for aifhave
seen them alike, which can be said OF no other
