StealiLg Spoons.

Here is a laughable anecdote oil old Judge
B., of South Car olina, for which we are
indebted TO an esteemed friend:
The Judge was great admrer of whis-
key punch. believe his father was OF
Phoencian descent, which may account for
his weakness. One night on circuit, some
scamps of lawyers, after the old gentleman
was pretty oblivious, determined 10 play
him trick, and letting the innkeeper into
the joke, wrapped a number of the lat;er's
silver spoons in handkerchief, and slowed
them away in the Judges trunk. The next
morning, while the Stage was leisurely wa.
ding through stretch of sandy road, who
should overtake them at full speed but the
tavern-keeper, who with much apparent en-
barassment made known his Grand He
informed the party that he had missed some
spoons from his house, and as he intended
making thorough search, he was afraid
some he suspected would not let him do so.
But if he should say to them 'You needn't
be so particular now; I've just left Judge B.
and Mr. So-and-so, and they didn't hinder
me- the rogues wouldn't have wotd tc say
in excuse. 'Oh, certainly, cerai,ly 2 cried
everybody, all except the Judge being in
the joke; and down they all jumped, OPEN
ed their trunks one after another, and shook
the separate particles of clothing to show
there was nothing in them Presently il was
the Judges turn. Oh to be sure y said he,
producing the keys. But the search among
his properties was scarce begun when TO his
tremendous asionishment, out of handker-
chief dropped the landlords spoons. Every
one looked al the Judge. After moments
reflection, he broke ont with: well now,
boys, you see it's that miserable Scotch
whiskey | drank last night. know il's that
made me steal these spoons They never
enlightened the Judge, and he always firmly
believed there was nothing like Scotch wlIis-
key for weakening mans sense of right, G..
specially touching the appropriation of his
neighbor's property. In fact, it was said,
whenever prisoner charged with stealing
was brought before HIM, he would gravely
ask if he hadn't been drinking Scotch whis-
key lately; 'lor if you have, he would add,
you'd better leave it off, tell you; stole
spoons once p Knickerhoeksr.

Christianity not of Human Origin.


To me when look at this religion, taking
its point of departure from the earliest pe-
riod in the history of lis race when see ii
comprising all that natural religion teachers
and Introducing new system in entire har-
mony with it, but which could not have
seduced from ii; when see il commenting
itself 10 the conscience of man, containing a
perfect code of morals, meeting all his NOR
al wants, and embosoming the only true
principles of economical and political sci
ence when see in it the best possible sys.
tenn of excitement and restrain for all the
faculties; when see how simple it is in its
principles, and yet in how many thousand
ways it mingles in with human affairs, and
modifes them for good, so that it is adapted
to become universal when I see it giving
an account of the termination of all things,
worthy of God and consistent with reason
to me, when look at these things, it no
more seems possible that the system of
Christianity should have been originated or
sustained by man. than it does that the ocean
should have been made by him.

FIRST MARRIAGE.

The following amusing sketch OF "born"
to good luck, /" is said to be from the pen of
the faceiions Samuel Lover:
= Lady C. was beautiful woman. She was
still single, though ratherp past extreme youth.
Like most pretty females she had looked too
high, and she refused TO believe she was not
as charming as ever. So no wonder she
remained unmarried. Lady C. had about
five thousand pounds in the world-she owed
about forty thousand pounds; so, with all
her wit and beauty, she got into the Fleet,
and was likely to remain there. Now, in
the time speak Of, every lady had her
head dressed by barber, and the barber
was the handsomest barber in the City OF
London. Pat Philan was great admirer of
the far sex, and where's the wonder ?-sure
Pat was an lrshman. Twas one very fine
morning, when Philan was dressing her cap
tivaiing head, that her ladyship took it into
her mind TO talk 10 him, and Pat was we'll
pleased, for Lady C.'s teeth were the whitest
and her smile ;he brightest in all the world
