"THEM ERE Lees. "A distinguish
ed public speaker not long since Illus
trated, in a conversation with us, the
singular want of acquaintance in cer-
tain localities with scriptural subjects
and phraseology. by the anecdote which
we subjoin. If the extreme ignorance
of the hero did not relieve him from all
imputation of the sort, he would be con-
sidered a coarse blasphemer; but our
Informant, who vouches for the facts, on
personal knowledge, says that the case
was nothing more nor less than an ex-
emplifcation of the happy simplicity
which characterises some of the back
woods counties of Tennessee.
1t seems that an adventurous son of
the State mentioned, born and nurtured
among the mountains, went down to the
city of Memphis to "seek his fortune"
He found instead complaint which the
Mississippi water not unfrequentlY gen.
crates, and which, whether it finds spec
dy termination in the cramps of cholera,
or whether it gradually saps life in the
chronic form, is always to be dreaded.
1t was in this latter shape that poor
Bagley "picked it up" and month after
month it tugged at his vitals; reducing
him day by day, until at length he was
but the outline of man, mere peripa-
tetic skeleton.
A worthy minister marked the poor
fellow, and seeing that the king of ter
rors had spotted" him, determined to
call on him and offer spiritual consola-
ton. 1t never occurred to him that the
ears of any one born in a Christian coun-
try could be entirely unfamiliar with
the verbiage by which spiritual subjects
are commonly approached. He there
fore, after some kind inquiries about the
ravages the disease was accomplishing
in Bagley's system, broached the i'm
portant topic somewhat thus:
"My dear Mr.. Bagley, in view Of
your relations with this life, how do you
feel?"
On SICK" was the prompt reply.
"Don't swear, nv poor friend" said
the parsOn, "and let me earnestly ask
YOU if you ever think of your latter
end"
Lord" said Bagley, 'I amt tho't
on nothing else for MORN three months"
"Not, I'm afraid, in the right way,
Mr.. Bagley. beg you to pause and
reflect 1t is time you began to wrestle
with thesLord!'
The sick man looked down at the
miserable, 'calfess, poker legs, extend
ing before him, and with an ineffable ex-
preston of amusement in his counte-
nance exclaimed:
"Rastle with the Lordl What gith
them ere Legsi"-pointing to his own
"Why, parson, he'd firt me into hell
the very first pass"
The record in the case does not dis.
close whether the parson continued his
efforts on so obtuse an intellect; but we
think the inference very fair that so |
tough customer survived the "chronic
Mississippi-water complaint.-Montgona-
erg Mail.

CoNTRIvANCEs TO GET LIQUoR.-A
gentleman, returned from Maine, speaks
as follows of the contrivances resorted
to for the purpose of evading the Maine
Law:
In Portland the seized liquors are
stored in the old lock up connected with
the police Office. / visited this place as
a matter of curiosity. 1t was amusing
to see the plans adopted to smuggle IL
quors into the State. l saw three milk
cans which were packed in trunk, full
Of the coveted beverage. A forty gal
Ion barrel was packed in hogshead of
sugar. After it was seized the owner
made urgent request that the sugar
should be restored to him, which was
refused. A ten gallon keg was packed
in barrel of Indian meal; another in a
barrel of corn; another in barrel of
saw dust. 1 saw eight ten gallon kegs
packed in four large boxes like merchan-
die; several large, well made trunks
were seized, containing jugs and demi-
Johns full of the critter. 1 saw a forty
gallon barrel which was found buried
in Portland, to be drawn frsm as occa-
sion should require.

INFLUENCE OF THE PHYsIcIAN.-Hov
many thousand faces must have passed
before the doctors eyes; how many
pitable tales of woe must have been
poured into his ears; what awful secrets
must find a repository beneath that
BLACK satin waistcoatl We may lie to
the lawyer, we may lie to the confessor,
but to the doctor we cannot lie. The
murder must out. The prodigal press
ed for an account of his debts, will
keep one back; the penitent will hide
one sin from his ghosay director, but
from the doctor we can hide nothing,
or We die. He is our greatest master
here on earth. The successful tyrant
crouches before him like hound; the
scornful beauty bows the knee; the stern
worldly man clings desperately to him
as the anchor that will hold him from
drifting into the dark sea that hath no
limits. The doctor knows not rank
The mutilated beggar in st. Celsus's
ward may be a more interesting case to
him than the sick dutchess. He despi-
ses beauty-there may be cancer in
its bloom. He laughs at wealth; it
may be rendered intolerable by disease.
He values not youth, it may be ripe for
the tomb as hay for the sickle. He
makes light of power; it cannot cure an
ache, nor avert a twinge of gout. He
only knows. acknowledges, values, re-
spects two things-Life and Death.
Household Words.
