Dr.. Humphrey was once seated in

on their bridal tour, wished to be accom-

being one vacant seat, the newly married
pair where subjected to a separation, unless
some passenger reIinquished his place
This no one appesrd to do, when the Doc
tor mounted the outside, insisting upon the

Subsequently the Doctor was collecting

the stage coach, with the remark that he

One dsyslast week a gentleman, who
had conceived the idea that all coal-deal-
ers were rogues, having occasion TO Pur-
chase a lad of Lehigh, determined that
he would in person superintend the opera
ton of weighing. Accordingly he pro.
cseded to the coal yard, and watched ev-
cry lump Of coal deposited in the cart with
an eagle eye. When he was satisfied that
he had obtained full weight, he ordered
the coal to be conveyed to his dwelling,
and followed it to its destination to be as
.sured that nothing was lost on the road
After the coal was delivered the master
returned to the yard, and, being observed
to be in uncommonly good humor, was
questioned as to the cause of his mirth.-
He explained it by saying that the gentle
man who purchased 'that lastload ofcoal :"
in his anxiety to avoid being cheated, had
stood upon the platform balance while the
coal was weighed. The gentlemen alluded

The Legitimate r esuit.

The following thrilling incident was re-
lated to the writer, by man of high rei-
gious responsibility, who vouches for its
truth, and is ready TO bring the witness il
called for. A gentleman, tarrying in Mo-
bile, Alabama, went TO church. He found
the church in a religious revival. After
the sermon was over, the speaker very
earnestly persuaded all who desired reli-
gion, and were willing to make it known.

AT length a young mulatlo aro7e in the
gallery-advanced TO the gallery stairs
came aown-took off his hat in the entry,
and delibel ately walked up toward the anx-
ious seat. He was convicted of his need
Of Christ, and determined TO venture to the
place of prayer. lie seemed to say like

as repenting sinner, and calling on God
in his behalf, took him by the collar and
led him back to the door at which he had
entered. Some readers will doubt the
truth OF this history. Well they might,
had it occurred any where else than under

AND LITERARY NEWSPAPER.

The Editors Of The CoNcREssloNAL
GLOBE propose Il new publication. TO
deserve the patronage which Congress has
accorded + o their reports Of its debates, in
receiving and making The GLOBE the off
cial register, they intend 10 add prompti-
tude to whatever merit has hitherto recon-
mended the work. They will publish q
DAILY GLOBE, 10 record tles proceedings
and debates as they occur; ard a Con-
GREssloNAL GLOBE periodically, rs here
toIore, embodying the reports of Congress
separate from the miscellaneous matter
which will accompany them in the daily
print. To fill the sheet Of the daily news
paper, it is designed to gather the news
from all quarters, and complete the con-
tents by drawing from every source that
may be Of most interest among literary
novelties, and oil creates, utility in scientif
ic and practical works on agriculture. For
material, the leading journals and periodi
Gals of France and Great Britain, treating
Of such subjects, will be consulted, and, it
is hoped, advanlageously used. Original
essays, especially on topics connected with
agriculture, will be obtained from the most
enlightened and practical men of our
country.
| The GLOBE, as newspaper, and as n
vehicle of information and amusement in
other respects, will be under the charge of
FRANCES P. BLAIR and JAMES c.. PICKETT
| The Congressional department and bust
/ ness concerns Of the paper will be under
the management Of john c. RivEs. The
public are familiar with Blair and Rives
rs connected with the press. In introdu-
cling Mr., Pickett as one Of the concern.
they will be allowed to say few words of
HIM. He is Il gentleman favorably known
to the Government, for the talent and
judgment which distinguished his diplomat
ic service while connected with the mission
to Quito; and more recently VIXEN Charge
d'AfIaires TO Peru. From his pen mainly
translations from The French journals and
periodicals., the comments on them, and
the other literary articles, which will be
found among its chief attractions.
The GLOBE will be published daily du-
ring the session of Congress, and weekly
the balance of the year, and will undergo
distribution in the form of q WEEKLY
GLOBE, CONGRESSIONAL CLIQUE, and an
APPENDIX.
The WEEKLY GLOBE will be the vehi-
Gle of the miscellaneous articles of the
daily print, with synopsis of the Con-
gressional proceedings.
The CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE will en-
body, as it has done for the last sixteen
years, Congressional proceedings and de-
bates exclusively.
The APPENDIX will embrace the revised
speeches separately, and the messages Of
the President of the United States, and the
reports of the Heads Of the Executive De-
partmenIs.
