FRIGHTENED AT A, GONG.

We have heard funny story told of young
fellow, residing in one Of the tobacco growing
counties of Virginia, who recently made his first
visit TO the capital of the g Old Dominion !" for
the purpose of selling his CROP seeing the sights,
and rubbing off some of the rust which his back
woods g fetching up" had thrown upon his man
ners. aH ~
He reached Richmond about the middle of the
forenoon, and was fortunate in selling his crop
at an advantageous rate and almost Immediately.
Meeting with an old school boy--one who had
lived in the city long enough to know its ways
he was advised to take up his lodgings at Boy
den's, the crack house of the place, and thither
he at once went with bag and baggage. just
before dinner, his country friend called upon
him. and found him comfortably located in
room just at the head of the first stairs. II was
closely upon dinner time. eU
"Supposng we take something to start an ap-
petite" said the chap who had "just come
down. u 81
agreed" rejoined the city friend, " glass

the rejoinder.

'Pull that rope hanging there" a5a
The young fellow laid hold of the rope and
gave it jerk, and just at that moment the gong
sounded for dinner. Never had he heard such
a sound before, and the rumbling crash came
upon his ear with report that stunned him.
He staggered back from the rope, raised both
hands with horror, and exclaimed
|" Great Jerusalem, what a smash! I've
broke every piece of crockery in the house -

Woe unto him that giveth his neighbof drink,
that puttest the bottle to him, and makest him
drunken.-Holy ,orit
No proposition seems to me susceptible of more
satisfactory demonstration than this-and ] am
sure no person can give it one hours serious
thought without asserting to it-that in the pre-
sent state Of information on this subject, no man
can think to act on Christian principles or do
patriots duty to his country, and at the same time
make or sell the instrument of intoxication.--Hen-
ry Ware, Jr.
Can it be right for me to derive living from
that which is debasing the minds and running the
souls of Others or that which is destroying forever
the happiness of the domestic circle, and which is
filling the land with women and children in con-
dition far more deplorabe than that of widows and
orphans or which is causing nine-tenths of all the
crimes, or nne-tenths OF all the paupers in the
community y.-Francis Wayland.

Beecher
They who keep these fountains of pollution and
crime open, are sharers to no small extent, in the
guilt which flows from them. They command the
gateway of that mighty food which is spreading
desolation through the land, and are chargeable
with the present and everlasting consequences, no
less than the infatuated victim who throws him
self upon the bosom of the burning torrent, and is
borne by il into the gulf Of woe.-San,uel Spring.

1t is principle in law, that the perpetrator OF
crime and the accessory to it, are both guilty and
deserving of punishment. Men have been hang

to the law of God. And as the drunkard cannot

Not only murderers, but those who excite others
to commit murder, and furnish the known cause Of
their evil Deeds will, if they understand what they

You create paupers, and lodge them in your
aims house-orphans, and give them residence
in your asylum--conyicts, and send them to your
penitentiary. You seduce men to crime and then
arraign them at the bar Of justice-mmure them
in prison. With one hand you thrust the dagger
to the heart-with the other attempt to assuage
the pain it causes.-Dr Thomas Se,call.
You are filling your aims houses, and jails, and
penitentiaries, with victims loathsome and bur-
densome to the community. You are engaged in
business which is compelling your fellow citizens
to pay taxes to support the victims Of your en-
ployment. You are filling up these abodes of
wretchednes and guilt, and then asking your fell
low citizens to pay enormous taxes indirectly to
support it.--Rep Albert Barnes ilt II fbh

If men will engage in this destructive traffic, if
they will stoop to degrade their reason and reap
the wages of iniquty, let them no longer have the

Wal guess you needn't get huffy about
it. Now here's dozen real genuine razor strops,

you had better be going.
" Wal now, declare! I'll bet you five dollars
if you made me an offer for them are strops, we'll
have trade yet" ..g.r
J" Done ~ replied the merchant, placing the
money in the hands of bystander. The Yam
kee deposited the like sum when the merchant
offered him pcayune for the strops. a

quietly fob'd the stakes. But, /" he added, with
great apparent honesty. 81 calculate jokes

the strops and passed over the picayune. g.
