Well Deserved Compliments.

We learn from the Camden Journal, that
the Grand Division S. of T., of South Caroh-
ma, presented to Gen. Cary, as a present for
his accomplished and efficient co-laborer Mrs.
Ida S. Cary, his wife, a beautiful silver Tea
Service, as a token of regard for her devotion
and zeal in the temperance cause, as we'll as
an evidence Of esteem for her noble and self
sacrificing husband.
The Journal also says, that after present
ing Gen. Cary with a check for several hum
dred dolIars-sufGcient to pay his expenses
whilst away from home. the G. w. P. has or
dered a superb gold watch, which is to be
suitably engraved, and to be presented by
P, G. w. P, A. NJ. Kennedy to Gen. c., next
month, during the session of the National
Division at Lexington, KY. 1t must be re.
collected that Gen. Cary has no price for his
labor-all that is given him is the free-will
Offering of his friends; but surely no one
can object to the pay which he receives, fer
'-the laborer is worthy Of his hire"

Newton and "P. A. p"

h trite and specious reasoning which
constituted the bulk of .Newton's' first arti-
Gle on the Noaehpn deluge, and the pompous
manner IN VII be introduced it to the
readers of4hA led me to suspect that
that paper was the work of a tyro in literary
composition, or of one who was afflicted with
that distressing malady known as cacoethes
seyibendt. But believing that " error is worse
than ignorance" and thinking it probable
that some might be deceived by his sophisms,
| ventured for the first time to enter the field
of controversy. With what success | essayed
to indicate the Bible and the integrity of
Moses, those who read my reply to Newton
can judge. fully and fairly met the imp0r-
tant issues raised by Newton, and endeavored
to conduct the discussion courteously and
kindly. What have done to merit the con-
temptuous sneers and indecent ridicule which
disfgures the first and concluding paragraphs
of Newton's' rejoinder, I cannot tell. unless
1t be to chastlse my impudence in presuming
to question his infallibility. In his %rejoin-
der Newton says that he would not trouble
himself to reply to the article of P. A.. P,
" had he p. A. P. not gravely charged us
(Newton) with handling the word of God
deceitfully, and had ne not so self complacent-
ly dared US to attempt it." To all this we
remark, /. When the readers of the Age
shall have compared the text found in Exc
dus s.; %, and Newton's remarks thereon.
with Exodus 9: 81, 80, and Exodus 10: 5,
they can judge whether Newton in his re-
joinder does or does not convict himself Of
handling the word of God deceitfully."
2. When Newton says that we dared
him to attempt a reply, he knoacs that without
cause or provocation he perpetrates a libel
There is not a sentence in the article to which
he alludes justlfying the assertion. TIL
words which Newton, no doubt makes tn
ground of this allegation, are the last thre
of the article. And in what connection ar
they found? | gave a quototion from Dl
Hales, concerning the capacity of the ark
concluding with these words: "Can W
doubt of its being sufficient to contain eigt
persons and about two hundred or two hun
dred and fifty pairs of four-footed animals
a number to which according to NJ. Buffer
all the distinct species may be reduced =?
and theh l added, "Let Newton answer.
Now | ask if any one besides Newton
could have construed that into a challens
to answer my article. Why, Newton
imagine the boys are laughing at your We
dancy. Newton compares P. A. P. to G
Hath Of Gath, E g9eJobb TT We say HYRa9Rerstfrqsa h e a W
and David, that is myself, Newton, killt
Goliath" P. A P. has the satisfaction
know, that though Newton
5 Runs his quill with scandal and with scott;
It is SO very foul it wont go Off"
And now. dear Newton, however mu

A SARCASTIC SENTENcE.-Old Elias Keyes

cultivation. The following sentence, it is
SAID, was pronounced upon a poor ragged
fellow, convicted of stealing a pair of boots
from Gen. Curtis, a man of considerable
wealth, in the town of Windsor:
WELL" said the Judge, very g~ravely, be-

undertaking to read the fellow a lecture.

the court tor stealing. They say you are

and how dal~ you. being poor, have the i'm.
pudence to steal a pair Of boots? Nobody
but rich people have a right to take sucl
things without paying for them Their
they say you are Worthless. That is eviden
from the fact that no one has ever asked jus
