The following anecdotes are related of the late
Rev. Robert Hall:
"He had one day attendeda church, where young
happened that the preacher met Mr. Hall afterwards,
at dinner at the house of mutual friend. The young
very anxious to hear Mr.. Halls opinion OF
his discourse, and very pernaclousy piled the great
man with questions respecting it. Hall endured the
annoyance, for some tine, with great patience. He
did not wish to hurt the young mans feelings; but
he could not, conscientiously, laud his sermon At
length, worried beyond endurance, he said
"Well, Sir, there was one fine passage-and liked
it much, sir-much."
The young divine rubbed his hands, In high gee,
and pressed Mr.. Hall to it.
why, SIR replied Hail. the passage allude to
was--your passage from The pulpit to the restry!"
A young lady sent her album to him, and he re-
turned it with the following, written upon one of its
leaves
SIT is my humble opinion that albums are very
foolish things. ROBERT HALL"

whilst aghtng a friends door, for the purpose OF
dining with him. he was joked on his bachelOrhood.
He said nothing but whilst table observed to

ing the girl, who. he sad had taken his fancy by the

british Corn Laws.

Nontelligent man read the history OF the bfit-
ish Corn Laws through all their changes, during many
centuries, without forming the conc fusion that inc IN
direct system of taxation for the support OF govern
ment or for the purposes of what is called protection
to nations industry is one of the greatest curses
that ever retarded nations prosperity To tax the
necessares Of life TO protect the labor that produces
those necessaries contrary to every rule or COM
sense, gross, and at the same time so strange
fallacy that nation that adopts such system, II 1t
really supposes that labor Will be benefited, cannot,
with proprety claim possess any correct notions OF
the laws that operate in rendering labor productive or
the least knowledge Of the principles of the noble
science of Political Economy. Yet though the sys-
be the extreme Of absurdity the advantages and
benefits it confers upon the few non-producers OF
wealth, has caused its adoption to greater less
extent in the principal commercial countries OF the
world. That enlightened and free America should
have adopted this system of taxation and assign
ed as reason for It's adoption that it renders labor
productive, that though form of government
is Republican, yet that of the foes absurdltes,
and errors OF the monarches OF the old world
have been transplanted in the new There was a time
when England taxed her people TO pay bounty 10 the
exporter of bread stui5 to foreign country.
They had too much corn, SO they raised a tax from
the labor Of the country TO enable them to pay boun-
ty tie land holder, If he would take his out OF
the country and sell it. Then the very opposite policy
prevailed-they taxed the labor of country pay
a bounty those who would import from abroad
into England. First they had too much corn, 50 they
paid the owner to send 1t abroad then they had toe
little. and they paid bounty to those who had money
to send abroad and bring into the country Then
both Of these systems abandoned. and duty I'M
posed upon foreign when imported into Eng land
Th, last absurditv still exists and the English ope-
ratives and laborers by it annually pundered OF
millions Of their hard earnings, 10 support the govern
men and to swell the incomes of the landed aristoc
racy of that country.
