Talking Sense,

THE editor Of the 81. Louis Intelligen.
Ger, referring 10 the nullifying speech Of
Governor Johnson Of Georgia, says:
What pitiable set Of folks these null.
lifers are! They are eternally looking
into the future to discover "contingen.
cy," and making preparations for doing
something desperate as soon as that con.
tingency comes about. They sec blue
ruin, when it can be discernsd by no
one else, and the gaunt spectre of som g
far off I" contingency" never ceases to
hun. them through life. To them, eve.
ry thing black is wolf, and 90 they are
eternally bowling "wolf," "wolf," when
there is no wolf about. lot the Cover.
nor Of Georgia quiet his fears. Kansas
will be properly taken care Of. She
will come into the Union at tho right
time, and whether she comes in as slave
or free State, is mono Of the Georgia
Governors business.

What is Respectable Society 7

WE heard man, Otherwise intelligent
enough, lately sneel o. another. "bs.
cause" said he, "one never meets him
in respectable society" The speaker
did not mean, however, that tho person
he affected 10 look down upon was i'm.
moral, but merely that his circle Of in.
Inmates was not composed Of the fashion.
able or tho rich.
This notion Of what constitutes re-.
spectacle society, is quite favorite one
with that class Of individuals, whom
rhackeray has SO Significantly called
"snobs." Empty pretence is always
making its own characteristics a stand.
ard, by which il strives to measure the
rsspectabili,y Of persons at large. In
community Of mere money. getting,
wealth is the test Of respectabili.y.-
Among the proud, narrow. minded, eifete
nobility Of the Fauburg 81. German,
respectability depends on being descend
ed from ancestors, who have married
their cousins for so many centuries, tha,
neither muscles or brains are left any
longer TO the degenersted descendents.
Every concei,ed fool thinks himself, in
like way, the only man really weishty,
the only person who is really respect.
able.
But true respectability depends on
such adventious circumstances. To be
respectable is 10 be worthy Of respect ;
and he most deserves respect who has
the most virtue. The humblest man,
who bravely does bis duty, is more wor.
thy OF respect, is more truly respectable
than tie cove,ous millionaire among his
money bags, or the arrogant monarch
on his throne. The fine lady who back.
bites her neighbor, is less worthy than
an honest washer. woman. The pro.
aisate noble, though he may wear doz'
en- orders at his button hole, is often moi
really as respectable as the shoe. black
who cleans his boots. That which is
called the "world" exalts the one and
despises the other. but it does not make
them respectable, according to the real
meaning Of the word. Their respect
ability is but shallow sham, as they
themselves frequently feel; and those
who worship them, bow down to O
Fetish, thing Of feathers and tinsel.-
The selfish, idle drone, who wastes life
in his own qualification, and dissipates
the fortune Of his progeny, is not, and
cannot be respectable but the hard
working, self.denying father, who wear:
out his life 10 bring up his children, is
even though he be day laboref. Moth.
ing can make Dives fl tolie on Abraham:
bosom, while Lazarus is welcomed there
even with the sores the dogs have licked.

TIE HARD SHELLs.-Ths Hard Shell
Baptists" are a well.known sect in the
South and South. West. They are not
related, that we know OF, to the Hard
Shell Democrats, though their christian
name is the same. They go dead against
all Bible, temperance, and education
societies hate missions to the heathen,
and all modern schemes, for converting
the rest Of mankind. or course they
are opposed to learning, and speak as
they are suddenly moved. A Georgia
correspondent writes to the Drawer, and
relates the following Of one Of their
preachers:--
"Two OF them we're in the same pull.
pit together. While one was preaching,
he happened to say-'When Abraham
built the ark
"Ihe one behind him strove to correct
his blunder by saying out loud--'Abra
! ham ,oarn't thar
"But the speaker pushed on, Needless
Of the interruption, and only took occa.
sion shortly to repeat, still more deci.
dedly, Il say, when Abraham built the
ark
"And | say cried out the other,
abraham warnt thar
"The Hard Shell was too hard to be
beaten down in this way, and address.
ing the people, exclaimed, with great
indignation, u say Abraham was thar.
or thar ABoUTs!"
To the same Southern correspondent
we are indebted for another reading Of q
passage which has been variously con.
slrued. 1t will be recollected that in
our July number we told the story Of the
preacher who understood the passage, as
he heard It read. "Now these eight did
Milcah bear" to mean, snow these
eight did milk a bear" Our friend
savs:--
"This brought to mind the story Of a
good old dame who was plying her dista6.
and listening devou.ly to her daughter
reading the Bible at her side. She was
reading in the Book Of Genesis. and be.
ing not yet perfect in the art, she would
now and then miscall word. So il
chanced that she read, stammeringly.
these words: Nov these eight did Mil.
cab bore
"'Whst, what's ,ha.!' said the old
lady, read that egain.'
"The good daughter complied, and.
looking more carefully. read. did Mil
cab bear .,.r. -. ~ !.
"Ah. that will do said the old moth.
er. 'they might milk bear, but to milk
boar, my daughter. is impossible -

"Thou know st that thou has formed me
With passions wild and strong,
