MAD ANTHONY WAYNE.

iaa Gen. Wayne was great ayorite with all
who had served under him, land when il was
known that he was to command the expedition
against the Indians OF the northwest, hupdreds
ofhls revolutionary comrades focked to his stan
idard and enlisted under bis orders. There are
those still living among US who remember
Zen. Wayne when he look this post He was
very partial to those who served under him in
The Revolution, and they could always approach
him with more familiarity than others could
Among these old pets was a some what antigua
ted dTagoon, extremely averse to labor. He re-
fused TO 90 any service in time of peace, and
had no other ambition in days of quietness than
to keep his horses feet ready for the fight, and
bis sword bright and sharp. The General was
subject 10 attacks of the gout, and at such times
was cross and petulant, and it then required no
slight degree of courage 10 approach him.
But the old dragoon was never daunted by the
Generals temper On one occasion when the
General was particularly il-natured from
severe attack, the old dragoon had some favor
to ask approaching his room, he peeped in al
the door, exclamng-" Mad Anthony" The
General looked up and angrily ordered him to
"be off sirn' Off went the dragoon. In few
minutes be returned looking Ito the room and
shouted ''Mad Anthony, l say sill y The Cen
eral looked up al him and said, 'fBe of, you ras-
cal, and don't trouble me ~ Away went the
dragoon. In few minutes he returned, look
ed into the room and shouted, s'Mad Anthony,
say, sir, it is as hard getting glass OF grog out
oi you as 1t was to get into Stony Point with
you !" This appeal told. Waiter, said the
General, ''give that--rascal glass of brandy
and send him off," The old dragon tossed off
the liquor, and retired until be should again be
in want of drink of the Generals brandy
The above was communicated to the writer,
by an old resident, and one familiar with scenes
of Indian and frontier war.

HUMAN ELEVATION.

81 know says Claiming, 'sbut one elevation
of human being, and this is Elevation of Soul
Without this, il matters nothing where man
stands, or what he possesses and with il, he
towers, he is one of Gods nobility, no matter
what place hp holds in the social scale
There are not different kinds Of dignity for DIFF
frrent orders Of men, but one and The same to
all. The only elevation ola human being,
consists in the exercise, growth, energy of the
higher principles and powers Of his soul. A
bird may be shot upward by foreign force,
but it rises, in the true sense o. the word, only
when # spreads its own wings, and scars by its
own living power. So man may b. thrust up
wards IN conspicuous place by outward acci-
denis, but he rises only as far as he extrts him
self, and expands his best faculties, and aseends
BY free effort, TO noble region Of thought and
action"

and his rival is, that one kisses
his miss and the other misses
his kiss. A distinction and q
difference.
A witness in a liquor case a,
Manchester, N. S. gave the
following testimony: 'Salsoda is
ice and water, and some stuff
squirted into it from a concern.
Don't know whether it is intox-
lcaling or not-it makes one feel
g ,od-feet lift easier.'
A minister approached a mis-
chievous urchin, abpu: twelve
years old, and laying his hand
upon his shoulder, thus address
ed him: My son, | believe the
devil has got hold of you.' Il
believe he has too was the un-
s'gnif, C INT reply of ihe urchin.
There is a young lady in Bos-
ton so fastidious that she wont
admit the bare newspaper into
her bed room in the morning; it
must have a wrapper on.
A man turned his son out of
doors lately, because he
wouldn't pay his house rent.
