TURKBY.-A teamster who was trav-
cling along the road near Birchville, and
who had probably read Gov. Weller's
devout thanksgiving proclamation, saw
fine turkey strutting about his wagon,
and Immediately falling in love with it,
wrung its neck and threw it stealthily
into his wagon. After this foul deed
he proceeded on his way to San Juan.
But he had not been unobserved. The
wife Of the turkey-owner saw him take
the bird and sent news Of the action to
her husband who was working at this
place. Upon the arrival here of Mr..
Teamster he was astonished by q de-
mand for Give dollars for that turkey"
He averred that one of his mules trod on
it and killed it, and that he picked it
up Is Of no account; but he forked over
the five dollars, nevertheless, and would
notshow the injured spot on the thanks
giving bird. Some Of the boys after
wards convinced him that they deemed
him innocent by remarking, -"oh! he
wouldn't steal . turkey! Hsdon'tlook
like man that would steal . turkey ~

A Mistake.


What must be the sensations Of a
man who has been divorced from
pure life for some time, when he ac-
cidentally goes within sound of the
voice Of an apostle of Christ, and
hears him say that a life of virtue is
not easy, that it is not pleasant, that
notifications and hard self-denial are
the duty of Christians, and that every
natural desire must be cruci6ed ?
Does not every rascal already be-
lieve that virtue is unlovely? Does
he not think it easier and pleasanter
to sin, or would he not practise right
eousness We confess that we have
listened to such things from the pull
pit with horror. We have been
shocked to hear arguments by the
hour oil going to prove the total de-
pravity of man, ard his inherent pre-
ference of moral darkness to light;
whilst at the same time the most pa
thetic appeals were made to him to
embrace faith of such alleged purity
that depravity could never compre-
bend it! Why, the very foundation
Of all hopes for human redemption is
to be found in the radical excellence
of man, which ignorance represses,
yet which is bubbling up beautifully
and graciously always and everywhere
around us. Do not clergymen limit
their own influence and retard the
cause they advocate by thus misrep-
resenting human nature? Would
they not do more good by laboring to
convince men that life of holiness is
the easiest and most natural, instead
OF Strengthening vice by informing
them that such life is impossible
without superhuman aid? We cer-
tainly believe so, and the Bible itself
corroborates the opinion. The doc
trine Of inherent depravity is a theo-
logical dogma, not text of Scripture.
The frightful source Of crime is igno-
rance, not innate proclivity. Some
men do wrong for the same reason
that others de right-to promote their
individual happiness. One man steals
for tho same reason that another
trades-to make money for his susie
nance. The difference is, that in
one case the course conducive to a
desired end is not properly seen,
whilst in the other it is.
Let the preacher aim to show men
the right course; let him appeal to
what is good in them; let him endea.
vor to disseminate intelligence, and
to exhibit in alluring colors the beauty
and felicity of uprightness, generosity
and peace. All nature would assist
him then, for on every hand she in
vites man to goodness, and his voice
would then find congenial echo in
human hearts, instead Of frightening
them away full Of wonder and hope
lessness.

ANOTHER CABIN ENrEREp.-T1

ANOTHER CABIN ENTERED
cabin of Andrew Smith, sometimes
called "Poney" by his intimates, was
entered by thieves on Thursday night,
the window torn down, and the hearth
stones lifted up in search of treasure.
Mr.. Smith has recently sold his dig
gings, but was too sensible to put his
money, if he received it, where thieves
could break through and steal. The
miners will no doubt take warning from
the burglarious attempts recorded in
this number of the PRESS, and abstain
from leaving valuables in their cabins.
