news Of the whole scheme-an attempt to

is painful reflection that one of the great

Mr.. Buffum, of Lynn, Massachusetts, was
under cross examination by an attorney
named Lord, who did his best to perplex and
brow beat him so as to overset the testimo-
ny he had given against his client. The
question was something relating to machi-
merry, and Mr.. Buffum had used the word
"philosophicully" in his evidence. Mr.. Lord
continually harped upon this phrase, and en-
deavored to make the witness ridiculous in
the eyes Of the jury. At last he enquired
pray, Mr.. Witness, as you seem to be a
great philosopher, can you tell me what the
consequence would belt the air should be
exhausted from hogshead"
"Yes, SIR" replied Mr.. Buffum, "the heaC

The Religion of Dancing.

Seth Paine, the editor of the Lake Zurich
Banker, expresses his opinion on dancing as
follows:
"What is ii? 'Tis the poetry of motion.
'Tis the response Of the Body to the music
Of the Soul. In the church the singer beats
time with his hand. In the ballroom he
beats time with his feet. Which is the
most holy, the foot or the hand! We re-
member fable Of old Esop, which told OF
convention, where the hands and feet and
other active organs Of the body met, and
they considered that the belly was OF no use
because it did no work. After due deliber-
alton they gravely resolved, each one should
look out for himselI; the hands would not
work for the lazy belly, the feet would not
carry him round, the mouth would not chew
! for him: Time rolled on, the belly com
planned, but none gave friendly aid; at last
the hunds ana legs began to waste away;
day by day they grew weaker and more
emaciuted, until, when too late for recovery
the limbs discovered the belly was an i'm
portant organ, and concluded if they had lift
to live over again, they would eat more, as
Deacon Bross says he would "learn tt
dance" Religious bigots may ignore dan
cling as much a. they please, the PEOPLE will
dance on. The Lake Zurich Bamker en-
dorses all that kind Of paper, and all tha
kind OF action. I can dance and be as hol.
as any Priest on his knees inprayer, and ver.
likely know more OF the philosophy of wha
| am about"

And thoughts awake in kindred mind,
And stirring words shall nerve the weak,
And fetters cease to bind

And rush of plough through yielding soil;

clerical Profanity.

A good story is told of very learned and
we'll known. reverend gentleman of Pro
vdence City. A short time since the said
clergyman called into dentists rooms to
try on a set of teeth which was being made
Tor him; after placing them in his mouth,
he turned to look into the mirror, saying at
the same time, "Jesus Christi" The den
tist. very much surprised to hear an oath
from one so much noted for his piety, said
to him: II they do not suit you, ! wll
make another SET" "Oh," said the clergy
man. 81 was only tryingf | could repeat
that blessed name without lispng!''
This is equal 10 the story told ofthe Rev.
Henry Ward Beecher, who upon one occa
sioniis said to have commenced a discourse
with the expression, ATS id hot ~ as
he wiped the perspiration from his brow
but Immediately added, ''Such was the
profane remark which heard from the lip,
