a Legal Aneciote.-Recently, while attending
court held in = county, Judge. S. presiding,
very plain question was presented for the dec-
sion OF The court. 1t was argued elaborately on
the wrong side. and when the opposite attorney Ia
real Paddy. who had just waded through Black
stone and Cht:y, to obtain license.) rose TO
reply, he was stopped by his honor, Who informed
him that his opinion was made up against him :;
that he would hear no further argument. Paddy
laid his hand slowly upon volume of Blackstone
and opened where The leaf was carefully turned
down, and commenced reading tho law directly in
conflict with the opinion of the court.
Stop, sir,' cried the Judge, :" have decided
the case. and my mind is no longer open to con-
viction, nor will have any further argument in
the case"
OH said the lawyer. "I did not intend to
arGne the point, nor did expect convince your
honor. only wanted TO show the court what q
blasted fool Blackstone was"
Such shout of laughter as went up from every
part of the courthouse, was beyond the means OF
the sheriff or court to control for some minutes.
when Paddy was fined dollar for his sIander OF
the renowned Blackstone.

The Men 10 Make a State.-Tke following are
the concluding passages of an address by Bishop
Doane before the trustees, teachers ard students
of Burlington College on the last anniversary of
the national independence.
And for the marks Of men that are TO make
State. see Them in the ingenious boy. He
looks right at you with his clear calm eye. The
glow that manles on his cheek is Of no kin with
shame il is but virtues color spreading from his
heart You know that boy in absence as iu
presence. The darkness is not dark 10 him for
Gods eye lightens it. He is more prompt to
own than do wrong, and reader to amend than
for either. There is nothing possible for which
you may not count him and nothing good,
that is not possible for him and God.
g | see them IN the earnest boy His heart is
all a-throb, in all his hand would do. His keen
eye fixes on the page of Homer, or of Euclid, or
of Plato, and never wavers till it sees right
through and has stored It's treasures in the light
of his clear mind. His foot has wings for every
errand of benevolence mercy. And when you
the bounding ball fly highest, and fall farthest
from the stand, and hear The ringing sound of
triumph, you may be sure that it was his strong
arm that gave that ball the blow.
" see them in the reverental boy. He never
sits where elders stand. His head is never cover
cd when superiors pass or when his mothers sex
is by. Ho owns in every house, al every hour OF
prayer, a present God. Ingenious, earnest, reve-
rental boys these are our marks of men to make

Our friend and correspondent, DR.. Quintard,

visit 10 Roswell, Cobb county, he there witnessed
a strange phenomenon-a hen sitting on four kit

appearance, she was attacked by the Old hen. and
failing TO drive her off, she then quietly stretched
out her wings, and covered with them the cat and
her young progeny"

Napoieon's Opinion of our Sarior.-A foreign
journal lately published conversation, related by
Count de Mcntholon, the faithful friend of the
Emperor Napoleon.
IL know men, said Napoleon sand tell you

proceeds from mind which is not a human mind.
We find in il marked individuality, which oriri-
mated train of words and actions unknown be.
fore. Jesus borrowed nothing from our knowledge.
He exhibited in himself perfect example of his
precePts. Jesus is not philosopher, for his
proofs miracles and from the first, his disci-
plies adored him. In fact, learning and philoso-
ply are of no use for salvation, and Jesus came
into the world 10 reveal the mysteries of Heaven
and the laws Of the Spirit.
" Alexander, Cesar, Charlemagne, and myself
founded empires; but on what foundation did we
rest the creation of our genius! Upon force. Jesus
Christ alone founded his empire upon lore and at
this hour, millions Of men would die for him.
alt was not day, battle, that achieved
the triumph o.! the Christian religion 10 the world.
No. it was a long war, contest for three centu.
ries; begun by the Apostles. then continued by
the flood Of Christian generations. In this war
all the kings and po.eutaies OF the earth were on
one side-on the other see no army but mvs-

Sail Lake Valley.-The following extract from
letter of recent date from the Mormon, country,
shows that miracles are still being wrought in
their land
"The crickets have not troubled us any this
year. Hundreds and thousand of gus made
their appearance early in the Spring, and as soon
the crickeis appeared the gulls made war on
Ihem and they have swep. them clean, so that
there is scarce a cricket 10 be found in the VAL
ley.
We lCok upon this as one of the manifestations
of the favor Of the Almighty, for the Mountaineers
say that they never found gulls here till the Nor
mons came. Ii truly cheering 10 see the
tiocks of these savors, extending several miles in
length, come from the Lake early in the morning.
and eating crickets all day, then at sundown form
in mass, and wing their way 10 the Lake, for
nights rest.
One curiosity abcn. then, is that they dom, cut
the crckets merely TO live, but after feeding them.
selves, they would vomit them up and 90 10 eat.
ing again, and thus continue eating and vomiting
throughout the entire day. 1t is a matter of as
tcnishment 10 see how fast they will pick them up,
and person could form but poor estimate of
the amount destroyed daily by these winged sa.
vlors. Suffice it 10 say, that about three weeks
after the gulls made their appearance, scarce a
cricket could be seen. This is plainly q miracle
IN behalf of this people, as the sending of the
qua;ls in the camp of the lsraees and what
makes Il more manifest is the fact that although
there were plenty of crckets in the surrounding
valleys, where there crops, the gulls came
by them TO the farms, and stayed there till they
had cleard them off, although men were at work
around them the time. There has been nc
damage done by crickets this season.
