LUDICRoUs CIRCUMSTANCE.

SPEAKING of the first impressions at
Church, brings to mind ludicrous circum-
stance that happened some fifty OF sixty
years ago at church. The rector, though a
man of profound learning and a profound
theologlan, was OF such eccentric habits, as
often to create doubt among the vulgar
whether he was at all times cOmpos mentis.
Having remarked for several successive
Sundays, gentleman who was no parish
Toner, invariably using seat in pew next
that in which young widow lady sat- he
constantly eyed them, and at one time de-
tected young gentleman slyly drawing the
lady's glove from off the pew where she was
accustomed to place it, cher hand and arm
being delicately fair) and putting in it
small neatly folded note. BY and by the
lady's prayer book fell-accidentally Of
course-from the edge of the pew into the
gentleman's; he picked it up, found leaf
turned down, and he hastily scanned pas
sage which evidently caused smile of COM
placenc5.
Our minister saw all their proceedings,
and continued to watch them for two sue
cessive Sundays On the third, as soon as
the collections were made, and while the
beadle yet waited to attend him to the chan
eel, our eccentric pastor, in strong and
distinct voice, said -" publish the banns
of marriage between M. and n. deliberate
ly pronouncing the name of the parties) if
any of you know just cause" &c. The
eyes of the congregation were set upon
them, the lady with suffused bushes, and
the gentleman crimsoned with anger, she
tanning herself with vehemence, the minis
ter meanwhile proceeding through his duties
with the same decorum as if innocent of the
agitation he had occasioned
The sermon preached, and the services
ended, away to the vestry rushed the parties
at the heels of the pastor
Who authorized you, sir to make such
publication of the banns p demanded they
both in one breath.
Authorized me I" said he, with stare,
which heightened the confusion.
/" Yes, sir, authorized you!"
comp said the minister with sly glance
alternately at each "if you don't approve
of it, I'll forbid the banns next Sunday"
6" Sir" said the lady, "you have been too
officious already nobody requested you to
do any such thing; you had better mind
your own busnessp'
"Why, my pretty DEAR" said he, patting
her on the cheek, "what have done has
been all done in the way of business, and if
you do not like to wait for three publica-
tons, advise you, SIR" turning to the gen.
tleman, "to procure license, the ring and
fee, and the whole matter may be settled as
soon as tomorrow"
"Well," replied the gentleman, address,
ing the widow, "with your permission l
will ret them and ,ya will ha n,,rriad in n
day or two"
ooh, you may both do as you please"
pettishly, yet nothing 10th, replied the lady.
1t was but day or two after, the license
was procured, and the parson received his
fee, the bridegroom his bride, and the widow
for the last time threw her gloves over the
back of the pew, and it was afterwards said
that the parties were satisfied of their gains.

HEART AND HEAD.

Ir is no uncommon thing to meet with
persons who seem to think it humbling to
let their hearts control them. They study
to have little appearance of feeling. No
persons are generally less useful, or should
be less envied They may have strength
of mind and glory in that, but the chief dis
tinction of man they have not. They give
care indeed to the culture Of the head, but
the heart, which thought and speech were
given to enfold-as if this were the seat OF
beauty, the mind in man-that they would
have yelled, as though it shrank from the
gaze of others, or had no treasure of its
own. 1t is the man of expressive feeling,
who moves hearts and is heart-moyod. He
would sooner bury his friends than his love
of them. The treasure he has in his wife,
child, or friend, is his love. II is the life
they have in him, and not any thing that
they are or can confer, that makes him hap
Ply. His heart is gushing spring that can
never be exhausted by oveIfowing His
affections, like beams Of the sun, return moi
to him; yet dim not by their loss the bright
ness Of their source. That our greatness:

Touching Incident.

AS we entered the reception room of the
Philadelphia Penitentiary, bulky despatch
was handed to the Warden by one of his
deputies, and upon opening it, he informed
us that it was pardon for one of the con-
victs. We inquired if it would encroacf
upon the prison rules, under such circum
stances, to accompany the Warden to the
cell while he should read it to the prisoner
and were kindly informed that we could
Join him. We soon reached the cell, where
we found fresh faced young man, of per-
haps twenty-four, who was busily engaged
at a little loom weaving.
"God morrow, John" said the Warden
blandly, as we entered
"Thee keeps busy, John?
60. yes sir-but it's very dull"
"Does thee tire of work, joint"
mo sir-but think of home"
"And thee would like to visit home once
more? 2"
"Oh, sir-if could but do SOL
And thee would not return againl"
| would try to deserve better, sir"
"Well, John, what would thee say, if
should tell thee had pardon for thee"
ooh, sir, such news would be too good.
" But thee would like to hear it ?"
81 care not for myself, so much" sait
the poor prisoner, and tears filed his eyes
"but for my wife and child, would be hap
py"-
"And thee would shun wicked company

ooh yes-and would labor for my wifi
and little ones"-
"Well John, here is thypardon," contin
ued the good old mainland he read thu

he has since been faithful guardian.-Bos

"Aug. 23--wtf."

This advertisement, which we cut from
the UNION, exposes one Of the grossest
wrongs tolerated in a civilized community.
II is not so much the fault of the people of
the District, for they have called upon Con-
gress to remedy the evil In 1928, eleven
hundred of the white male citizens of this
place thus stated the grievance to that body
Even the laws which govern us sanction
and direct, in certain cases, a procedure that
we believe is unparalleled in glaring injus-
tice by any thing at present known among
the Governments of Christendom An in
stance of the operation of these laws, which
occurred during the last Summer, we will
briefly relate:
GA colored man, who stated that he was
entitled to freedom, was taken up as run
away slave, and lodged in the Jail of Wash
ington city. He was advertised, but, no
one appearing to claim him, he was, accord
ing to law, put up at auction for the pay
ment of his Jail fees, and sold as a slave for
life
"He was purchased by slave-trader,
who was not required to give security for his
remaining in the District and he was soon
after shipped to Alexandra. for one Of the
Southern States.
An attempt was made by some benevo-
lent individuals to have the sale postponed
until his claim of freedom could be investi-
gated, but their efforts were unavailing; and
thus was a human being sold into perpetual
bondage, at the Capital of one of the frees'
Governments on earth, without even pre-
tence of trial or allegation of crime"
Need we add word to this statement
by the citizens of Washington of the nature
of such an atrocity? They do not sanction
it. They do not wish to see free people re-
duced to slavery. The courts of the slave
States, to their honor be it spoken, have al
ways regarded with favor the case of mer
claiming to be held illegalsy d. hondage.-
The guilt of this practice ofselling free mer
for their jail fees-selling them as slaves fol
ife-sellng them without requiring securi
ty from the buyer that he viii not take then
out of the District-attacnes to the Con
gress of the United States. The people
here have prayed that body to suppress thu
evil-bm it would not - Washington Era.
