A Beautiful AIlegory.

Mr.. Crittenden was engaged in defend
ing man who had been indicted fer cap
ital offease. After an elaborate and pow
erful defense, be closed his effort by the fol-
lowing striking and beautiful allegory:
" When God, in his eternal counsel, conceiV-
ed the thought Of mans creation, he called to
him the three ministers who wait constantly be-
fore his throne-J ustice, Truth and Mercy-and
thus addressed thehSs-"Shai we make man?''
Then said Justice, 80 God, make him not; for
he will trample upon thy laws Truth made
answer also, 40 God, make him not, for he will
polIute thy sanctuaries." But Mercy, dropping
upon her knees, and looking up through her
tears, exclaimed, go God! make him, l will
watch over him with my care, through all the
dark paths he may have 10 tread"
Then God made man, and said to him, 40
man. thou art the child of Mercy; go and deal
with thy brOther.''
The jury when he had finished were drowned
in tears, and against evidence. and what must
have been their own convictions, brought in =
speedy verdict Of not guilty.

Old Times nnl NOW.

We make the following spicy extract
from the late address of Hon. ThoS. Corwln
before the Mechanics institute of Cincinnati
The world, indeed, turns out better mer
and women than it did in ages past Fol
instance, David. the King of Israel, was
doubtless the best as well as the creates;
man of his time; yet if David was Hew
citizen of Hamilton county, and behaved as
he did in Palestine, though he was the
Lords auointed, and very good man, ]
doubt whether the Wing or Democratic
party, if any such parties exist, or the Know
Nothings or the Sag NIGHTS, (quiet fellows,
l believe, who say nothing,) would venture
to bring David's name before the country
as saliidtiii candidate iatefoF for the Presidency. The
morality of the law, ado unto others as ye
would others do unto you" has now be-
come Incorporated into the convictions of
of the country, and the result of It was,
that shrewd leaders would say :-"Will il
do? Won't the opposition get hold of that
queer case Uriah's? No, we must have
Marcy or Douglas, and David must be with
drawn for want of good moral character" "
David had not been properly taught the
great law of doing unto others as he would
others do unto him.
In further illustration, suppose Jacob
and Laban had been citizens of Cincinnati,
and the bargain between the two about
the latter's daughter had been brought be-
fore my excellent friend Storer in his court,
and il had been shown that Jacob had been
defrauded, what would nay friend have
done? Why, he would have made them a
speech to this purport: "Lsban, ne are
sorry to have to decide this case againI you,
but really il looks as though you wanted
Jacob to work for nothing. Give him your
daughter; ifthey don't live happily togeth-
er after they are married, then Jacob can go
to Kansas and print an anti-Slavery paper.
Laban pay the costs"
Then there is the case of Noah-after
the deluge, be was probably the best man
alive, but the old commodore would get
tight, which would have qualified him. un-
der our Ohio liquor Law. for the Hamilton
county jail had he lived among US. His
children, indeed behaved very badly, which
shows they could never have enjoyed the
inestimibIe advantage of the Sabbath school,

AnOld Story WcIl Told.

A certain man, who had not been par
ticularly fortunate in his affairs, went 10 a
foreign country, in the hope of bettering
his condition, but all his enterprise failed
and in the end, he found himself more
poor and embarrassed than ever. In hi.
emergency he went TO consult an old man
who was famed in his neighborhood fol
wisdom and goodness, and laid before hin
the unhappy state in which he found himself
and the sort of fatality which followed hi:
steps everywhere. After many questions
as to how he had managed his business
and to his personal habits, the old man al
last asked him if he owed anything to bis
printer, and if he had always paid regular
ly for the papers for which he had sub.
scribed. The ruined man reflected for 6
moment, and answered: ayes, 1 confes;
that l owe for several years subscription
to paper / formerly received; but l had
entirely forgotten SO insignificant deb:'
80 insignificant debit" replied the old
man; "know sir, that man who does moi
pay for his paper, will never succeed in his
business. am old; have seen many
men ruin themselTe; many men grow rich
and many men remain nearly stationary
with regard TO their fortune. have al
ways remarked, without single exception
that those persons who remained in the
same condition of life, were those who did
not pay for their papers till the end of the
year; those who grow rich were those who
always paid for their papers in advance
and those who were ruined and never got
up again, were persons who never paid fol
their newspapers. Believe in my long ex.
perience of men and things, and do not de-
lay to pay what you owe the publisher oI
your paper" The man whose business
and fortune had always been so bad, follow.
ed the advice of the wise and good old man
and from that very moment Providence did
not cease to favor his enterprises. This
is an example of success which is certainly
as beautiful as it is easy to initiate.

Little Girls"

What has become Of all the httle girlsnow-a
daysi One sees plenty of miniature young la
dies with basque waist and fiounces, dress hats,
and tiny Watches promenadiug the streets OF
attending Juvenile parties; but alas! httle giri
is rariy-one who will play playhouse and
! live life time in few hours, making day and
night succeed each other with astonishing rap
idity, fifteen minutes recess at school afford
ing plenty Of time for weeks Of playhouse life:
one TO whom a neat plain gingham dress and
sun-bonnet is the perfection OF school dress, sun
bonnets that will not be injured il they are wet
in river OF brook, and apron strings enough to
bring home any quantity Of nuts from the woods,
in lieu Of baskets; good strong shoes that will
come off with ease on warm summers day,
when the cool brook tempts the warm little feet
to lave themselves in its waters, instead Of del
icate CATERS, which shrink from such rude
treatment.
Well! it is hoped the race OF little girls will
not become utterly extinct. There must be
some "wasting their sweetness upon the desert
all, fer surely they bloom not in our cities, and
but rarely in our viii'sg ges.
At an age when little girls used TO be dressing
dolls, we now see them decked in all their hnery,
Paradng street, and flirting with young
students. Where on earth are the mothers OF
these precious hirts Arc they willing TO allow
such folly7
Then as TO dress; why little miss must now
be dressed as richly as mamma; and the wonder
is, how will she be able to outvie her present
splendor when she sfcomes out" But in this
Ro-ahead age, some new inventions will enable
her TO accomplish her desires suited to this me-
ridean. As there are 10 little girls so there will
be no young ladies': for when miss leaves school
she is engaged. soon marries and takes her place
in the ranks Of American matrons. How will
she fill her place? for how or when has she
found time 10 prepare rlife's anties2 Wonder
If it would be good plan 70 turn over new
leaf, begin with them in season, and see if it is
impossible TO have again darling little creatures,
full Of life aud gee, who can run and jump with
out fear Of tearing hounces; and, finally, have a
set Of healthy young ladies', upon whom the sun
has been allowed TO shine, and active exercise in
the open air bestowed an abundant supply OF
life and energy.
Unite healthy body to the highly cultivated
minds Of our American wives and mothers, and
they would be the admiration Of the world, in
stead Of being pitied for their fragility.

"snorillg AEain sir."

An anecdote was told some years ago
Of polite Southerner, an accomplished
and kind-hearted gentleman, which has
found place, and we think deservedly in
our collection:
On one occasion be had been driving
hard from morning until night, over the
rough roads in the neighborhood of Colum-
bia. South Carolina, and slighted at the
| Ionly comfortable looking tavern in the place,
very tired. Sticking his eyeglass to his
eye-his constant companion,he being near
sighted-he demanded roast fowl, some good
wine and aomfortabhe place for the night.
The landlod was Exceedingly sorry"
but couldn't give him a comfortable room,
the only place be could have to sleep in
was double bedded room with another
gentleman.
every we'll, sir; let us have the room
you've got. No man can Go more than
that, SIR"
After discussing his supper, he sought
his room, turned in, and went to sleep.
His slumbers we're destined to be of very
short duration. Before long he was awak-
ened by call from the other bed "Sir /!
sirl!"
"Bless my soul!' cried D thrust
ing his glass up to his eye, and endeavor-
ing TO peep through the dark, "what's the
matter, my dear sir? Is the house on FIRE.
or are there bugs in your bed?"
"Neither, sir; but, my dea. sir, you snore
so terribly that 1 cannot sleep, sir. 1t is
terrific, sir!"
"Bless me, my dear sir, l am shocked
that should be so rude as to snore in a
tleman's presence, and he a stranger to
me. l really ask your pardon. sir, and beg
you'll overlook it. Il wasn't intentionaL l
assure you."
The apology was accepted, and Good
night" was exchanged and both parties
went to sleep again.
1t was not long, however, before rumb-
ling sound was heard from the polite gen.
gentleman's bed, every moment growing
louder and louder until at last it ended in
laundering diapason. The other lodger,
driven almost to madness started up and
exclaimed:
"Good graciousl this is too muchl l can
not stand it! say, sir /! sirll sir Ill wake up
sirl"
"Bless my soul! what's the matter noO?
cried out the offender, starting up in bed /;
"you seem TO be very restless, SIR"
"Restless! believe you!' said the dis
turbed gentleman; you've been snoring
again, sir, worse than ever. and l can't o
to sleep"
"You don't say so! Have been repeat
ing my rsdeness? ! am really extremely
sorry. my dear sir, but 1 was really asleep.

And off be drowsed again, and in FIVE
minutes began snoring as loudly as ever. un-

complaints.
"Snoring again, have sir ?'' said said ii the {
unconscious ofender "Well, the fact is /

is sufficient. / am now about to 60 TO

that if you wake me up again snoring or
not snoring, sir, shall proceed to get up
and give you the soundest thrashing you
ever had in the whole course of your life I!

His slumbers were undisturbed for the
rest of the night
