~ A friend Informs US, Of a incident connected
with this same abolition cathedral, which strict
ly illustrates abolition consistency Ans sindivid-
ual who had attended the church, but found the
utraism bearing altogether too strong for his own
capacities ofeLdqrance; offered his, pew for sale,
but was for long time unable T. find Purcha-
ser. He at length. hit upon the CURIOUS eypedient
of a sham sale Of the pew to negro, enjpining
upon: him to occupy the pew with his wife and
children until further orders, The pew was in a
most conspicuous and eligible situation, and when,
on the succeeding Sunday, the son Of Africa and
his wife took possession, they were the ;obsery-

1t was not many minutes before the occupants
of neighborug pews vacated their places and the
looks of Indignation and disgust they cast upon
the intruders, exhibited the true character Of their
abolition philanthropy The next time the negro
attended church, he, found the pew door locked
and he lifted his affectionate vrow and sable chez
rubs over the inclosure, then followed himself,
listening with great edifcation TO the abolition
theories from the pulpit 10 such strange contrast
with the practice Of the people, The third e at at
tempt Of the negro to attend service was success
fully defeated BY locking the church door, upon
him, and the ppshot Of the matter Yasthat the
pew's owners trick was entirely successful land
the abolitonists gave him three prices lor his pew
in order to prevent the abolition theory, from be-
ing practically Illustrated, This is but an exam
pie out Of a thousand of the nsinceri,y and in
consistency of abolitionism.-L o-.

GA few days since, Mr.. Joel Rice, Of Conway,
discovered on a. tree what he supposed to be a
crows nest; but on examination he found, in
stead of brood of unfedged corn-pullers,J litter
offiying squirrels. Not little pleased With his
booty, he thought It fne opportunity to secure
an acceptable present for his children. HsyiDg
