True Elonuenee,
M. S. DRAPER, G. R. s.

We know not where or when we
have met with anything in prose more
striking than the burst of eloquence
which we are about to copy. One
Paul Denton, of Texas, a Methodist
preacher, it appears, had advertised a
barbecue, with better liquors than are |
generally furnished. When the peo-
pie were assembled, desperate in
the crowd cried out, Mr.. Paul Den
ton your reverence has lied. You
promised not only a good barbecue,
but betterliquor. Where's liquor ?"
"THERE ~ answered the missionary,
in tones Of thunder, and, pointing his
motionless finger at the matchless
double spring gushing up in two strong
columns, with a sound like shout Of
Joy, from the bosom of the earth.-
"There +" p' he repeated, with a look
terrible as lightning, while his enemy
actually trembled at his feet there

but in the green glade and grassy dell,
where the red deer wanders, and
the child loves to play, there God
brews it; and down, low down in the

murmurs and the rills sing, and high
upon the mountain tops, where thu

the thunder storms crash, and ava,

5 hurricane howls music, and the bi

IN Editors Joy.-The Richmond Palla-

to the Indiana Legislature from Wayne coun-

caught himself by the seat Of his breeches and
tried to hold himself out at arms length. II
is added, that he would have accomplished
the feat if he had not let 20 to spit on hil

however, to "slings" and "cObblers' and th'
