IF none were to reprove the vicious,
excepting those who sincerely hate vice,
there would be much less censoriousness
in the world. Our Master could love
the criminal while he hatedth crime, but
we, his disciples, too often love the crime,
but hate the criminal. A perfect knowl-
edge Of the depravity Of the human heart,
with perfect pity for the in6rmities Of ii,
never coexisted but in one breast, and
never will.

been more amused than we were on Thurs
day, BY a story related BY one Of cur po-
lice officers. A man by the name Of VIM.
H. Sparks has for long time been under
arrest for high crime. The case after
lingering along from term to term, was
finally disposed Of at the late session by
an order from the court to enter a nolte
prosequi. Officer House. who is a shrewd
fellow, told the judge that it would be
better not to tell Sparks that he was dis
charged, but get rid Of him entirely
The business being intrusted to him,
House whispered to Kenyon, who at once
took the hint. Sparks came to court
dressed up in fine suit of clothes, and
looked very much like gen,leman.-
Kenyon took him by the arm and said:
"You can't be tried yet, so we will 60
back to Jail.
Going down stairs Sparks said.--
"What do you think they will do with me?"
"Why," said K, "they will give you
ten years"
"That is what expect" replied he.
"Can you run, Bill p inquired K.
"Run,' said he, "only just give me 3
chance and see.' = .r..s
"Well, now Bill, you start and I'll run
after you, but will not overtake you, and
then III tell them you escaped"
No sooner said than done; off went
Sparks as feet as deer. X. jumped on
the steps and laughed heartily, exclaim-
ing: Good gracious, see him run see him
run and then he would laugh as if his
sides would crack. In the meanwhile
away went Sparks, he was finally out of
sight. Presently the officer scratched his
head and slapped his thigh:
"There," said he, "wssn't a fool to
let that fellow go2 he's gone off with
Adam Goodfellow's new suit of clothes
on, by thunder!"
The scamp had borrowed Adams suit

came up in the Senate on Friday, the 18th INSTANT
when an amendment was proposed by Mr. Walker OF
Worcester, to the effect that ''the Hon. Daniel WEB
ster in his late speech in the Senate OF the United
States has not faithfully represented the sentiment o
the people of Massachusetts" This amendment was
supported by speech of considerable length by MI
Walker, on that and the following day. 1t was oppos-
ed By Mr. Urban of Essex, and Mr. Hillard of SUI
folk. neither of whom undertook dsprovc the truth
Of the rositon taken in the amendment but argued the

,er On the following Tuesday, when fourth part of
the members were necessarily absent, the subject
again brought up, and further discussed by Mr. Buck

with one Wing, Mr.. Baker of Essex--inal 10. There
were nineteen votes in the negative, all Wigs.
So, Dir. Webster has received the official endorse
Inent of the Wing Senators of Massachusetts, given
much against their will and with many WHY faces; but,
IN order to keep up the credit Of the Wing party
Washington, this was a matter of stern necessity.
After such vote, it matters little what the Resolves
on Slavery are, which may pass the Senate. Every
body viii know that they got up for domestic
sumption, keep the Wing PARTY in credit home, as
ant-slavery party, while the vote in regard Mr..
