From the NATIONAL Antl-sIaYory Standarl
ONE OR TWO FACTS.

The Rev. VIM. Plummer, D. D.. formerly Of
Richmond Va, in 'purging' himsefof the charge
Of Adotuioaism, among other pretty things, says :
I'VE have The authority of Montcsquieu, Burke
and Coldridge, three eminent masters Of the sci
once Of human nature, that Of all men slavehold
ers the most jealous of their liberties"
Nov let us hear what two of these also say
Burke said "Slavery is a state improper, so
degrading, and SO ruinOus to the feelings and
capacities of human nature that it ought not to be
suffered to exist" Montesquieu ironically said,
"lf we allow negroes to be NOR, it will begin to
be believed that we ourselves are not Christians"
Why do those South. side dvinos not give us the
whole truth?
believe that just now memoir of the late
Rev. S. II. Cone d, d., of the Baptist Church, is
being prepared. Here is an item which should
not he omitted AT meeting of the American
and foreign Bible Society it resolved to Furnish
erey family in the United States with a Bible
Elder Abel Brown inquired, mildly, whether the
resolution embraced slaves Scarcely had the
words been uttered when great cry resounded
in the house of Order ! order! order y and TIE
President the late DR.. Spencer III. Cone, with en-
phatic voice and gesture called out TO him, ISL
dotcr. sir !" You are out Of order" 1t is also
well known that Dr. Cone ever gave hia whole
weight TO appease the shareholders.

from Europe: "Mr. Banks has nobly

ASAD SToRY.-The Cincinnati ia
setfe relates the following incident
which occurred at Xenia on the 4th
instant:
Among the passengers in the train
Cleveland was Young man of perhaps
twenty, and lady some few years his
senior. The gentleman was plainly
clad, but tho girl was dressed in the
extreme height of fashion, and rougei
beyond even brazcn waatonncss. 1t
was frequently observed by the passcn
gers that the young man appeared to
he earnestly demonstrating with the
girl, and seemed to he deeply affected.
At Ncnia, both left the cars, and it was
apparent that the course of each lay in
different directions--thc man TO this
city, and the girl to the West. As
the cars were about starting, the young
man kissed her a hasty goodbye, and
both burst into tears. The conductor,
seeing that there was some deep grief
ut heart, invited the gentleman to
seat inthe baggage car, as more scclud-
cd from the gaze Of the crowd. Amy
where, said he, only como with me-
must speak to some one, or my heart
will break"
After becoming little Gained, he
said: "That lady and myself were
raised together with moss for carpets,
acorns for cups and saucers, and peb-
blcs for walks We played in childhood.
She was few years older than myself,
but wo were lnscparable. She grew
up TO womanhood, was married, then
separated from her husband and sought
tho city, and became a wanton-a
hcartless, disgraced courtezan. Steep
cd in sin rs she la, shameless rs che
may be, | could not but kiss her good
bye, for she is my sister! She has al
ready hurried loving mother to the
grave, and brought disgrace upon her
brothers and sisters. But while sho
acknowledges it all, and sheds tears of
apparent contrition and regret, no re-
monstrances can change her COURSE
She has just been home to make us
visit, but sho left again for her resi-
dence in the city, to drown in the
wanton's life the rcmcmbrar CO of what
she was and what she might have been.
DO you blanc me, then," turning to
the sympathizlng conductor, "for weep

How WINE Is TURNED TO WATER.--
A Prussian journal relates a singular
fact. In an lsraelitc community, there
exists Rabbi, esteemed and loved by
all. To prove their gratitude for ser
uices rendered, the commun ity decid-
cd, upon the suggestion of rich mcr-
chant, to offer the Rabbi present of
ton of wine, and in order that all
might contribute to it, it was agreed
that each should bring bottle of wine,
and pour it into the receptacle. The
Rabbi received the offering, and with
much prccaution deposited the pre-.
cious liquid in his cellar. But 0 grief,
when he wished to taste it, a miracle
had operated instead of wine he found
only water. His honest friends had
all individually thought that bottle
Of water would pass unperceived in the
quantity of wine. Unhappily each had
the same idea.

"Why, mem, it is scrutanutory

to thsir qualifications, 90 largely prevails. The
morals Of Texas are being improved every year
There are still few Of those desperate characters
remaining who came here when Texas was an asy-
lum for eut-throat desperadoes. But they are fast
being annihilated Whenever one Of them commits
an outrage he is either Immediately shot down, or
is made an example of by the law. Saving such
characters, society here is as orderly and as law
abiding as in any of the older States.
TIE professions are decidedly overstoeked in this
country. There are a good many more lawyers
than clients, and as for doctors they are without
number, there being about a half dozen to every
patient.
The Gubernatorial canvass here this summer
promises to be one Of more than ordinary interest
The Democracy nominated their candidates for Gov
ernOr and Lieut.. vernon the other day-Mr Il.
R. Runnes, Of Bowie county, for the former, and
Mr.. F. B. Lubbock, Of Harris county for the latter
position. Old Sam Houston has, also, announced
himself candidate for Governor Of Texas. he
says that he does not run as the candidate of any
party that the issue which he means to make in the
canvass will be Houston or no Houston, which will
of course afford him fine field in which to give
vent to his inordinate vanity. He claims to be a
Jackson democrat, Heaven save the mark and
will if elected be the Governor Of the whole peO-
pie. Such another dish of political demagogury
and disgusting egotism viii be served up in the
present Gubernatorial canvass in Texas, by the
boosted hero of San JaentO has never been seen or
heard of in the political history of the country
There is no doubt but Houston viii play shrewd
game but it will be of USE The great Democracy of
the State have turned their back upon Samuel. He
has sinued without measure and they mean to pun
