GU1LTY.--It will be seen that BADGER, of the
Portsmouth Globe, has again committed matrimony.
He has been caught with the proceeds of his offence

AN OLD WoMANs SERMoN.-My dear friends
there are three things that very much wonder at
The first is, that children should be so foolish TO
throw clubs and stones into fruit trees to knock down
the fruit If they would lei it alone it would fall
down itself The second that men should go TO war
and kill one another they WOULD let another
alone, they would die themselves andahe third and
last thing l.wondeF at is that young men should be
so unwise as 10 go after young women, for II ihey

Ruling Passion Strong in Sleep,

ALMOST everybody who knows books and
the publishing fraternity in general, of New
York particularly, must know long, slab
sided, hatchct-faced, rushing business man,
named Burgess, or rs the trade would say
Boss Burgess. Boss made fortune-all
but, in the first run of shad, in way of light
French Literature, and the food of Ameri-
can "yaller kivcrs," that followed the French
tlimses. Boss got religion after he got
about rs many dimes as he seemed to re-
quire this side of Jordan. Boss, in COM
mon with other Booksellers, attended tho
trade sales, and was noted for taking tho
balances, fag ends of invoices, &c.
One evening, during Boss religious ex-
ctcment, under the pressure of a heavy ar
gumcnt preacher, Boss fell into dose. Tho
preacher whangcd the pulpit and brought
down the scriptures, he grew vivid and vig-
erous rs he proceeded, and at last, having ar
rived at junction of peculiar emphasis, he
paused at the words
"And another invoice ofprecious souls

Of course there was some commotfon; the
youthful were inclined to 'snicker OUT while
the scdatc ancients looked daggers towards
the pew of old Boss.
Gocs-goes--gocs--" calmly reitcratcs
the pastor.
Burgess and Stringer takes the bat
ancc quite loudly, says the Boss, whose
dose had incucated the idea that he was in
the book mart, instead Of the conycnticle for
human salvation
When Boss realized the distinction, and
met the grim countenanccs of the elders n
bout him, he left in very confused state Of
consciousness, and looking cheap as trash at
