Il ANECDoTE OF Thomas PAIYE.-W
lately came across, in the course Of ou
reading, the following old anecdo.e of
man, who seems to have acquired, in th'
course Of his career, as much unenriaJL
notoriety, as Erostratus, who fired th'
Temple Of Diana. The publication o
this anecdote is not now inopportune, a
the reverence with which the Bible wa
wont to be regarded, appears to be dali,
diminishing. The anecdote is as follows
and was originally published in the N. Y
Spectator
"One very warm evening, about twen-
ty years ago, passing the house where
| Thomas boarded, the lower window was
open, and seeing him sitting close by,
and being on speakabe terms, stepped
in for half hours chat; seven or eight
Of his friends were also present, whose
doubts and his own he was iaboring to re-
move by long talk about the story o!
Joshua commanding the sun and moon to
stand still, Sc, and concluded by doIoun-
cling the Bible az the worst of books, and
that it had occasioned more mischief and
bloodshed than any book ever printed
and was believed only by fools and de-
signing knayes, sc. Here he paused +,
and.whiIe he was replenishing his tumb!er
with his favorite brandy and water, per-
son, who | afterwards found was an in
truder, like myself, asked Mr.. Paine if
ever he was in Scotland !-ihe answer
was, yes.
So have l been, continues the speaker :
and the Scotch are the greatest bigo,s
with the bible | ever met-it is their
school. book, their houses and their chur-
ches are furnished with bibles, and if
they travel but a few miles from home,
their bible is always their companion !;
yet, continues the speaker, in no country
where ! have travelled have seen the
people SO comfortable and happy their
poor are not in such abIect poverty as
have seen in other countries by their
bigoted custom Of going to church on
Sundays, they save the wages which
they earn through the week, which in
other countries that | have visited, is
generally spent by mechanics and other
young men in taverns and frolics on Sun
days /; and Of all the foreigners who land
on our shores, none are go much sought
after for servants, and to fill places where
trust is rcposed, as the Scotch (; you rare
ly find them in tayerns, the watch house,
aims house, bridewell, or state prison.
Now says he, If the bible is so bad a
book, those who use it most would be the
worst of people-Jm The reverse is Me
case. This was a sort Of argument Paine
was not prepared TO answer, aud hlslor-
ical fact which could not be denied-so
without saying a word, he lifted can
llo from the table, and walked up stairs:
ais disciples slipped out one by one, and
eft the speaker and my self TO ENJOY the
scene.
