Condolences.

1t sometimes happens that the most
amusing condolences happen between
the services of the occupants of the
sacred desk and the peculiar circum-
stances in which they are occasional
w placed. These condolences are, of
course, entirely unintentional on the
part of the reverend gentleman, and
this fact adds to the amusement they
afford to the audience. One of these
condolences recently happened to the
far-famed and eloquent Londonpreach-
err, the Rev. C. II. Sturgeon, and was
related to us by a person who came
out in the last steamer. The good la
dy of the gifted preacher had during
the week presented to him pair of
little cherubs. On the succeeding Sun
day, he appeared in his pulpit, and for
the opening hymn gave out that one
commencing:
Not more than others I deserve,
Yet God has given me more
Those who knew the circumstances
INDUCED in faint smile as the hymn
was read.
1t is related of another clergyman
that after having married a young
couple in church, he returned to the
pulpit and gave out for the choir to
sing the hymn commencing
Mistaken souls who dream of bliss
which, to say the least, was suggest
i've to the young married couple.
Still another coincidence occurred
in the case of worthy clergyman
"down South" to whose lot it fell to
WOO and win worthy lady who had
a fortune in hand of $4,000, with a
fair prospect of an increase at a future
day. In the course of his pulpit SER
vices on the Sabbath succeeding his
marriage he gave out the hymn which
contained this couplet, but the other
lines Of which we cannot now recall.
1t was hymn of thankfulness for that
Divine mercy,
That gives ten thousand blessings now,
And bids me hope for more
A coincidence of similar nature is
told of worthy teacher of vocal mu-
sic-named Paine, who in one of his
schools had young lady whose given
name was Patience, and whose charms
had fairly captivated the heart Of her
teacher. Unfortunately the tender
feeling was not reciprocated, and the
sutton pushed his suit with but indif-
ferent success, until the position of af-
fairs became generally known through
out the school. Towards the close of
the term, one evening the teacher call
ed upon the school to sing "Old Fed.
eral Street" without thinking what ap.
plication might be made of the first
line of the poetry, which reads:
See gentle patience smile on pain.
The unmannerly boys and some rude
girls sung the line of the poetry,
with unusual vigor and some of them
smiled aloud. The teacher taking the
hint turned over several leaves at ran.
dom and called upon his class to sing
Dundee" They did so promptly, and
sang:
"Let not despair nor fell revenge,
Be to my bosom known;
Oh! give me tears for others woes,
And Patience for my own
The smile here became laugh, ant
the teacher, throwing down his book
abruptly closed the exercises for tn
evening.

Ohio,

The act passed by the Legislature
of Ohio, at its recent session, to pro
tect its citizens against the encroach-
ments of the slave power, appears to
have been worded and drawn express
ly in reference to the subsequent de-
cision of Chief Justice fancy. The
very first clause knocks in the head
the doctrine that a STAKEHOLDER can
carry his slaves into free State, and
yet hold them in bondage, as argued
by fancy. 1t makes the simple
bringing such property into the State,
with intent to hold or control the
same, high crime, punishable by fine
and Imprisonment.
Here is the act as passed:
SEC. l. Be it enacted by the Cen
eral Assembly of the State of Ohio,
that if any person shall bring into this
State another person, with intent to
hold OF control, or shall aid or assist
in holding or controlling, directly, or
indirectly, within this State, any other
person as slave, such person, so Of
Tending, shall be deemed guilty of
false imprisonment, and upon convic-
ton thereof, shall be punished in the
county Jail, not less than three nor
more than nine months, and by fine
not less than two hundred, nor more
than five hundred dollars and every
person coming within this State other
wise than as person held to service
in another State under the laws there
of, and escaping into this State, shall
be deemed and held in all courts as
absolutely free.
SEC. 2. If any person shall seize
or arrest, or shall aid in Selling or ar
resting, or in attempting to seize or
arrest, or shall use. any force or fraud
for the purpose of holding, OBTAINING,
Or controlling any other person upon
any pretence or claim that such per-
son is fugitive from service, such
persons so offending, shall be deemed
guilty of false Imprisonment, and shall
be punished by Imprisonment in the
county JAIL not less than three months,
and by fine not less than three humid
red, nor more than five hundred dol
lars.
SEC. 8. If any person shall seize
or arrest, Or shall attempt to seize or
arrest, Or shall aid in selling and ar
resting, or in attempting to seize or
arrest, or shall use any force or fraud
for the purpose of holding, OBTAINING,
controlling, or influencing any other
person with intent to carry or remove
such person out of this State or with
intent to cause such person voluntari-
~ to depart out of this State, in order
that such person may be taken, held,
or controlled as slave in some other
State, Territory, or Jurisdiction, such
person so offending, shall be deemed
guilty of kidnapping, and shall be
punished by Imprisonment in the PEN
itentlary at hard labor not less than
three nor more than seven years.
DEC. 4. Nothing in the preceding
sections OF this act shall apply to any
act done by any person under the au-
thority of the Constitution of the
United States, or Of any law of the
United States, made in pursuance
thereof
