Revolutionary AnecdOte.

A venerable American Judge relates
the following revolutionary anecdote:
The morning following the battle at
Yorktown, had the curiosity TO attend
the dressing of the wounded; and among
others whose limbs were SO much injur-
cd as to require ampu!ation, was mu-
stefan, who had received musket ball
in the knee, as is usual in such cases,
preparations were making TO lash him
down to the table to prevent the POSSIBLE
ity Of his moving. Says the sufferer
snow doctor what would you be at?"-
"My lad, am going to take off your leg;
and it is necessary you should be dashed
down." "Nll consent to no such thing;
you may pluck the heart from my bos-
ON, but you don't conGne me- Is there

There are mauy interesting and some
laughable "reminiscences connected with
the temperance movement im this country,
and the nasal organ seems to have come
in for its full share of ludicruus animal.
version, About as good Chit" as we
ever knew, was applied some years since
by Rev. Thomas p. Hunt, to the noses of
some of his auditors. 1t seems the Rev.
gentleman was so pungent i'll his lecture,
that number of rowdies who were pre-
attempted to hiss him down. Mr.. H., as
every body knows, is not easily scared
"of the track" and instead of being in
Inundated by this goose like method OF
augmentation, he addressed the noisy
ones as follows:
''Who are those persons attempting to
disturb the meeting2 Who are they?-
Oh! see now. They are some red-no>
sed rummies, and they alwuys kiss just SO,

1t is hardly necessary to add that Mr.
Hunt was never troubled again in that re-
gion.

Moral COWardicc.

Why is it, in fact. that the lone of NOR,
ality in the high places of society, is SC
lax and so complaisant, but for want oil
the Independent and indignant rebuke Of
society," There is reproach enough pour,
ed upon the drunkenness, debauchery
and dishonesty Of the poor man The
good people who go to him can speak
plainly, aye, very plainly, of his evil days.
Why is it, then, that fashionable vice is
able to hold up its head, and sometimes
to occupy the front ranks of society? 1t
is because respectable persons, of hesital-
ing and compromising virtue, keep it in
countenance! 1t is because lnid woman
stretches out her hand to man whom she
knows to be the deadlest enemy of NOR
ality s. Of her SEX, while he turns cold
eve upon the victims he has ruined. 1t is
because there is nobody 10 speak plainly
in matters like these. And do you think
that society is ever to be regenerated or
purified under the influence Of these I'M
just and puslanimous compromises ]
tell you never! SO long as vice is suffer-
ed to be fashionable and respectable, so
long as men are bold to condemn it only
when it is clothed i'll rags, there will new
er be any radical improvement, You
may multiply temperance societias, You
may pile up statute books of law against
gambling and dishonesty; but so long as
the ,mid hemages of the fair and honor
ed are paid to splendid iniquity, i, will be
all in vain. So long will i. be felt, that
the voice of the world is not against the
sinner, but against the sinners garb. So
long, every weapon of association, and
every batoon of Office will be but mis-
sle feather against the levialhan tina, is
wallowing in the low marshes and stag
nant pools Of society.
