BRIGHr- SIDE oF nUMANIrY.,
There are good men every wbere. m,

There are good men every where--men
who are good for goodness sake. IN oh
scurlty, in retirement, scarcely known to
the world, and never asking to be known.
these are good men--in adversitv, in pover-
w amid temptations, amid all the severity
'ol earthly trials, there are good men. whose
lives shed brightness upon the dark clouds
that surround them, Belt true, if we must
admit the sad truth, that many are estranged
from Infinite Goodness; that many are cold
iy'seifsh and meanly sensual-cold e. dead
TO every thing that is not wrapped up in
their own earthly interest, or more darklv
wrapped up in the veil of feshly appetites.
BE il so; but thank God, that it is not all
that we are obliged to believe. No; there
are true hearts, amid the throng of the false
and the faithless. There are warm and
generous hearts, which the cold atmosphere
of surrounding selfshness never chills. and
eyes unused to weep for personal sorrow,
which often overflow with sympathy for
the sorrow of others. Yes, there are good
men, and true men, thank them; bless
them for what they are God from on high
doth bless them; and he giveth his angels
charge to keep them, and no where in the
holy record are these words more precious
or strong than those in which it is written,
that God loveth the righteous ones.
Such men there are. Let not their pre-
acious virtues be distrusted. AS surely and
asevidently as some men have obeyed the
calls of ambition and pleasure, so surely
and so evidently have other men obeyed
the voice of conscience; and "chosen rath-
er to suffer with the people of God, than
10 enjoy the pleasures of sin for season.
Why, every meek man suffers in conflict
skeener far than the contest for honor and
applause. And there are such men, who,
amid injury and insult, and misconstruction,
and the pointed finger, and the scornful lip
of pride, stand firm in their integrity and
allegiance to a loftier principle, and still
their throbbing hearts in prayer, and hush
them to the gentle emotions Of kindness
and pity. Such witnesses there are, even
in this bad world, signs that redeeming
work is going forward amid its mournful
derelictions; proofs that it is not world
forsaken of heaven; pledges that ii will not
be forsaken; tokens that cheer and touch
every good and thoughtful mind, beyond
all other power of earth to penetrate and
enkindle il.

An Irish gentleman once appeared in the
court of the Kings bench, as security Of
friendin the sum Of three thousand pounds
Sergeant Davy, though he well knew the
responsibilities of the gentleman, could not
help his customary impertinence. swell,
sir, how do you make yourself to be worth
three thousand pounde?' The gentleman
very deliberately specified the particulars
up to two thousand nine hundred and forty
pounds. 'rAye," says Davy, 'that is not
enough by sixty" "For this sum- re-
piled the other, 81 have the note of one
Sergeant Dayy, and hope that he will
have the honesty soon to discharge it,
This set the court iu roar; he was for
once abashed; and Lord Mansfield said:-

EaPedient Of a Ncedy 2Faceler.-We
have heard the story of an English haifpay
officer living at Florence, much in debt, and
desirous to get to England, but unable to
procure his passport, without which he
could not be permitted to depart on account
of the interference of his creditors. He
one day, in coffee house, fell to abusing
the Grand Duke in very outrageous terms,
in consequence of which he was next day
conducted to the Tuscan frontier by police
oflieer. The following expedient, related
by London paper, is much less obvious
and more ingenious:
John Kilburn, person well known on
the turf, as a list seller, &C., was in town
IN Bedfordshire, and as turf phrase, quite
broken down. 1t was during harvest, and
the week before Richmond races, york
shire,) whittier he was travelling; and near
which place he was born: to arrive there in
time he hit upon the following expedient.-
He applied to an acquaintance of his, a
blacksmith, to stamp on paddock the
words Richmond gaol, with which, and
chain fixed to one of his legs, he compo-
sedly went into cornfeld to sleep. As
he expected, he was soon apprehended, and
taken before magistrate, who, after some
deliberation, ordered two constables to
guard him to Richmond; no time was to be
lost, for Kilburn said he had not been tried,
and hoped they would not let him lay till
another assize. The constables, on their
arrival at the gaol, accosted the gaoler with
Sir, do you know this Ihan!' 'Yes, very
well; it is Kilburn; have known him many
years we suppose he has broken out
Of your goal, as he has a chain'and paddock
on with your mark; is he not prisoner"
Il never heard any harm of him i'll my life.
Nor says Kilburn, 'have these gentle
men.-Sir; they have been so kind as to
bring me out of Bedfordshire, and | will
not put them to further convenience.
have got the key of the paddock, and l will
not trouble them to unlock it; l am obliged
to them for their kind behavior He tray
elled this way about I7O miles.

The Uomal 10hO aoent abroad.-A lady

but soon returned exclaiming; "My dear,
