OF Judge Sprague to the Jury. on the
trial of the parties charged with aiding
~ the rescue Of the fugitive slave
Shadrach. The N. Y. Com. Advertiser
says: II is very able argument for
the entire constitutionality of the law.
which point. we apprehend. i nav all
but universally conceded. Judge s.
showed that every objectioato the pre-
sent law applied to the law of l795
with even greater force. and then show
ed that both enactments were in per-
feet consonance with the intent Of the
Constitution and its trainers. The
Court occupied more than two hours in
delivering the charge" The Jury did
not agree upon a verdict, ten of them
being for conviction, and two for ac-
quittal.

The SOsemnity of an Oath.

One of those rather peculiar geniuses
known upon the Apalachicola as timber
getters, went down to the port of that
name with very valuable raft of cedar
and other choice timber that he desired to
ship 'for Cowes and market" or some
other town of equal importance. One of
the requisites to obtain a clearance was to
make certain oath before the Collector,
for which purpose he appeared before tlist
dignitary, who made out the form of oath,
which among other things stated-"you
do solemnly swear that no part of this tim
Der now sought to be shipped by you,
was cut upon the public lands ofthe United
States, and''-
"!Stop, stranger What's that you say
Unjust take my solemn aflidavy to that p
"Ycs."
"And that can't ship that raft of mine
if don't?" ..-
"Ycs."
And does other fellers what come down
here with RATS take that oath?"
"Sometimes."
"You may go ahead, stranger-I can't
lose that timber-it has got to be shipped,
any way you can fix it,"
"Uncle Sans land," said he, as he
walked off, after taking the oath-how in
thunder do | know where his lines run.
| reckon that oath is nothing but form, no
how. UNCLE SALON.

The Bible at the worlds Fair.

Foreign papers state that the Committee
of the British and Foreign Bible Society
have secured for their society place in
the Crystal Palace in London, where the
labors in which they have been engaged
for the last forty-six years may be cxalnin-
ed. The Scriptures may there be seen
and read IN one hundred and .ftly langaa-
ges and dialects. In conncxion with this
the following brief remarks of an English
writer are exceedingly appropriate. and
will be read with interest:
"To many, (says Andcrson,) it might
seem too bold, were we to affirm that the
English Bible is at present in the act of be-
ing pcrsued from the rising to the setting
sun. The assertion might appear little
else than figure of speech, or an event to
be anticipated; and yet this is no more than
the half of the truth. The English Bible,
at this moment, is the only version in exis-
tence on which the sun never sets. We
know that it is actually in use on the banks
of the Ottoway and st. Lawrence, as well
as at Sydney, Port Phillip, and Eobar,
Town; but before his evening rays have
left the spires Of Quebec and NJ ontreal, hi,
morning beams have already shone for
hours upon the shores of Australia and New
Zealand. And if it be read by so many Of
our language in Canada, while the sun il
sinking on the Lake Ontario; in the eastern
world, where he has risen in his glory or
the bank Of the Ganges, to the selfsame
Sacred Volume, many who are no less our
countrymen have already turned. Yet
are all these but as branches for the parent
stock, under whose shade this version, cor
rected and re-corrected, has been read by
rnyriads, for three hundred years

ARevoiusionary Dinner.

While we can sit down at the Astor

dinner of unsurpassed variety and luxury,
with the choicest dishes and the richest

The keen axe and the brand;
When they felled the forests pride,
And the tyrant foe deiiod.

No noble name we own
But noble liberty;

Each patriots bosom fires,
And the strong faith inspires;

Up with the starry sign,
The red stripes and the white;
Where'er its glories shine,
In peace or in the fight,
We own its high command;
For the flag our fathers gave
Ger our children's heads shall wave,
And their childrens children's gravc--
