A MIsAPrREuENsIoN rccollect
once being very much amused at the
relation the following anecdote, from
the lips of a very amiablc, and withal
a very modest widow lady in New Jer-
sey Soon after her husband paid the
debt ofnature, leaving her sole legatee,
a claim was brought against the estate
by his brotter, and Il process was served
upon her by the sheriff Of the county,
who happened to be a widowcr, of mid
die age. Being unused, at that time,
to the forms of law, though in the pro-
trac,ed law suit which followed, she
had ample opportunity of acquiring
experience, she was much alarmed,
and meeting, just after the departure
of the sheriff, with female friend, she
exclaimed, with much agitation, "What
do YOU think : sheriff Perine has been
after me ~ swell, 'said the consider
ate lady, with perfect GOODNESS, she is
a very fine man." "But he says he has
an attachment for me-" replies the wi
dow. "Well, have long suspected,
he was attached TO you, my dear"
But you don't UNDERSTANDING says
must go TO court" "Oh, that's quite
another affair, my child don't you go
so far as that; it is his place to come
to court you !"

SouND VINO DocTRINE, without doubt, is
to be found in the following extract from the
speech made by Mr.. HUNTER, on taking the
Chair of the House of Representatives
"You will doubtless doom it your duty, gen
tlemcn, as the grand inquest of the nation, to
investigate all matters of which the People
ought TO be informed; to retrench expendit-
ures which are unnecessary or demonstrations
al to MAINTAIN the just relations between all
the great interests of the country; and to pre-
serve inviolate the Constitution which you
will be sworn to support while it will be mine
to aid you in such labors with all the means
within my power"

Many are the mutations of language which
the mere tenor Of this supplication has under
gone, while ia calm vein and spirit endurinGly
survive. Many years ago we met with the
following; whether in ''percy's Rcliques,"
which contains scrlptural specimens of the
kind or in some other antique tome, our mem
DRY serves Us not. At all events the progress
Of the language in the prayer, is admirably il
luetrated.
L. the year 700, the Lords Prayer began thus;
"IIren fa1er THE are - L~ih.es, sin gogagud

sue is IN heoinas and IN crthu.
Two hundred years after, thus
"Three ura hler the cart on heoieum 81
thin Managerial God Com thin RE. 81 thin
villa on earthan swa, or heoieum.'
About two hundred years after this, IN the
reign Of Henry III, It was rendered thus, and
sent over by Pope Adrien, an Englishman
"Ure iader in heaven, rich,
Thy name be hailed cher hch,
Thou bring as ~ michel blsse,

That IN hearthe bceDe 1t Also &c.
About one hundred years after, in the reign
Of Henry III, 1t ran thus
"Fader thou art in heaven llisse

Thy holy will II be all don,

So il shall be in full well lc-lro," &c
In the reign Of Henry " it began thus

In 1887, 1t began thus

AMERICAN CuURTsnIp. This must be nm
everlastin fine country, beyond all doubt, for
the folks have nothin to do bu, TO ride about
and talk politics. In the winter, when the
ground is covered with snow, what grand times
they have slayn over these here mashes
with the gals, or payin ball on the ice, or goin
TO quiltn irolcs of nice, long evenings,
and then drivin home like mad by moonlight
Natur made that season on purpose for couftin.
a little, tidy sciumptous lookn Stay, real
clipper of n horse, a string of bells as long as
string of nions round bis neck, and sprig
on his back, lookin for all the world like
bunch of apples broke off at ga,hein time,
and a sweetheart alongside, all mufilcd up but
her eyes and hps-ihe one lookn right into
you, and the other takin right at you--is cen
amost enough 10 drive one ravin, taring, dis
tracted mad with pleasure, ant it, And then
the dear critters say the bells make such din
there's no he1rln ones self speak so they put
their pretty little mugs up close to your face,
and talk, talk, talk, till one can't help lookin
right at them instead of the horses, and then
whap you both 20 capszcd into a snow-drift
together skins, cushions, and all. And then
to see the little crilter shake herself when she
gets up, like duck landin from a pond, chat
term away all the time like a canary bird, and
you haw-hawin with pleasure, is fun alive,
you may depend. In this way a Teller gets
led on to offer himself rs lower afore he

RESIGNATION OF JUDGE WHITE.

The following remarks Of this distinguished
Senator in Congress from Tennessee accom-
panes his late resignation. We quote from the
correspondence ofthe Jour. of Commerce
In Senate L. 5. Jan. l3-
Mr. White rose and said, feel it my duty,
MrPresden;, at this time. to present to the
Senate the resolutions which have received
from the Legislature oiTenuessee, nsructng
me to vote according TO their directions. re-
Trained from so doing until now, since on this
day last week, Mr.. Wright gave notice that he
would call up the bill, falling Immediately with
in my instructions. Mr.. White then called
the reading OF the resolutions. After they were
read, he said, that ii became him to acquaint
the Senate with the determination 10 which he
had come, and, therefore he would occupy
their time but short while IN reading the an
swer he intended to send To his Legislature.
lilo said that he could conform to their wishes
in not voting for the charerlng of National
Bank but he could not comply with their in
structions relating TO the Sub Treasury Bill.
Banks, he considered as more responsible
than individuals, as they had larger sums in
their possessions with which they could pay
their demands. Again, Corporations could
not so easily abscond as individuals. Ii IS said
that Banks are not worthy Of confidence, why
then does the Government receive their notes
in payment for It's dues Besides, the APP
poinlment and removal of the officers required
by this ball lay entirely at the disposal and
pleasure of the President. The difference
therefore between the Legislature and himself,
was that it desired to increase the patronage
of the President, whereas he wished TO control
and restrain his already oyergrown powers.
He concluded by rendering to the Senate an
affeciona,e farewell in feeling and impress
i've manner. Tears were seen in the eyes Of
more than one, and every person seemed in
some degree affected.
