WAGGERY.

Some time ago, on the Sabbath day,
we wended our way TO one of cur church
es, and instead of sermon, heard an ad-
dress upon some missionary or other be-
nevolent subject. After the address was
concluded, two brethren were sent round
with basket for contributions. Parson
L., was one of the basket bearers,
taking the side upon which we sat. I'm
mediately in our front and upon the next
seat. negligently reclined our friend Bill
H., gentleman of infinite humor,
and full OF dry jokes. Parson L.,
extended the basket, and Bill slowly
shook his head.
"Come. William, give us something"
said tie Parsou.
"Can't do it," replied Bill.
"Why not? Is not the cause good
one.?"
"Yes; but I am not able to give any
thing"
"Poh! pohl know better; you must
give better reason than that"
"Well, I owe too much money!
must be just before l am generous. you
know"
"But, William, you owe God larger
debt than you do any one else."
"That's true, parson, but then he aint
pashing me like the balance of my credit
ors."
The parsons face got into rather a Gu.
rious condition, as he passed on.

OLD KY RODGERS AGAIN.

We make the following extract from a
letter from friend in Louisiana concern
ing this worthy functiOnarry:
''Old Ky Rogers" let off some good
thing during his six weeks, Term of court
which has just closed.
"Ky" had kept the Bar and Jury up
uutil one O'Clock A. NJ, and he slept
nearly all day after on the Bench"
Mr.. B. was prosecuting attorney in a
case. and Col. P defending. B, was fire.
quently objecting. and would call upon
the Court 10 sustain his objections
"The Court" would wake up and ask Mr..
B. TO state his objections again:
l object on the maxim of law If it please
the Cout, viz: Res judicatq pro reritate
occipitar.'' -
Old "Ky" doesn't know Latin from
Chinese. but he rubs bis eyes. yawns and
says, This Court sustains the objection,
Mr.. B" and off to sleep he is. Presently
B. finds another hard point of evidence
TO get over-he wakes up ''the Court. !"
and says: "May it please your Honor. 1
object to the testimony. Res judicota
pro ver;tqte accipitur!" "This Court sus,
tains your objection, Mr.. B." says ''old
KY" and off to sleep again.
Al length, Col. P. having failed in
getting the Court 10 sustain a single OBJ
lection, concluded 10 try the force of Lat
TN on him. So. after going on with the
evidence until he finds point of testimo-
ny which he wants out of his way-he
aOakes mp ''the Court and states his OBJ
jection. "The Court" yawns and says:
"Col. P. please state your objections
again to the Court

riotic emphasis, "becanse it's E hoz

''This Court sustains the objection,

WADE AND GIDDINGS.

Hon. Benjamin +. Wade, and Hon.
Joshua R. Giddings used to be constant
competitors at the bar in "old benighted
Ashtabula," their present place of resi-
dence. In The early part of his practice,
Wade was defending a man against
an action of SANDER, and having con-
concluded a very effective speech, to the
jury. sat awkwardly, leaning backward,
his feet on the counsel table, and facing
Giddings. who was attempting to be elo-
quent in behalf of his slandered client.
Old Gid. as he was Familiarity called,
had little smatteriDg of Shakespeare,
and now determined 10 bring the great
author to his aid. "Gentlemen of the
jury" said he, with much ardor,
ale that steals my purse steals trash:
But he who robs me of my good name
Ahem!" AT this point, to his great dis
conjecture, Shakespeare deserted him.
He repeated
'1But he that robs me OF my good name
But the Bard of Avon, as if unwilling
to aid either him or client, proved treach-
erous. Again he repeated
But he who robs me of my good name
(another pause. "Takes that l never
had" whispered Wade, as if prompting
him, and SO distinctly as to be heard BY
all in the room.
Amidst the laughter and his own con
fusion, Giddings brought his speech to
such elaine and impOtent conclusion" "
that his client recovered but six and
fourth cents for his lost character

THOU ART GROWING OLD, MY
MOTHER,

Thou art growing old, my mother,
And thy brow is marked with care,
All furrowed is thy cheek,
Once beautiful and fair,
Thy soft, brown locks are sldly changed,
Chill frosts have settled there,
And touched with many freezing kiss
Thy gentle flowing hair.
Thou art growing old, my mother;
As catch the halfdrawn sigh,
Well know that years Of sorrow
Have bedimmed thy melting eye;
But with gentle light it beameth,
Besneth on me even yet;
With love that never ehangeth,
Till the sun Of life is set.
Thou art growing old, my mother;
Many of our household band
Have before thee journeyed onward
To the far-of "better land"
But thy voice in tender accents
Still is falling on my ear,
sweetly Frightening my pathway,
Which without thee, we're so drear.
Thou ar. growing old, my mother,
And around thy youngest born,
Shadows gsther-darkly gather
Even in life's early morn;
But the blessed Saviour spareth
Thee, to still protect thy child,
While the storms OF sorrow hover,
Hover Ger me dark and wildl
Thou art growing old, my mother;
Soon feel that skoI wilt rest
In the ''land of the hereafter
In the regions of the blest.
Who will love me then, ny mother,
When the last life cord is riFen7
Let US pray that both together
God will take US safe to Heaven.

a GOOD LESSON

Hear the story Of the child which went
forth into the mountain rayine. While
the child wandered there, he called aloud
to break the Loneliness, and heard a voice
which called 10 him in the same tone
He called again, and, as he thought, the
voice niocked him. Flushed with anger,
he rushed TO find the boy who hae insult
ed him, but could find none. He then
called out 10 him in anger, and with
abusive epiIhets--all of which were
faithfully returned 10 him. Choking
with rage, the child ran TO his mother,
and complained that boy in the woods
had abused and insulted him with many
vile words. Bet the mother took the child
by the hand, and said; "My child, these
names were but the echoes of their own
voice. Whatever thou didst call was re-
turned to thee from the hillside. Hadsi
thou called out pleasant words, pleasant
words had returned TO thee. Let this be
thy lesson through life. The world will
be the echo of thine own spirit. Treat
thy fellows with unkindness, and they
will answer with unkindness; with love,
and thou shalt have love. Send forth
sunshine from thy spirit, and thou shalt
never have cloudy day; carry about
a vendictive spirit. and even in the llow-
ers shall lurk curses. Thou shalt re.
ceive ever what thou givest, and that
alone" Always said the speaker is
that child in the mountain passes
and every man and every woman is that
child.

one great crime 10 prevent the recurrence
of more. IF the law had been enforced
would that crime have happened? Never.
Twenty years ago, MAYTHE, a notori-
Gus criminal, was taken from Williams
town jail by the farmers of Bourbon
county, Ky, and hung at MONDAY. To
them it seemed necessity, and section
of country has had no such criminal
since. The Vigilence Committee of San
Francisco was an apparent necessity of
the day, and no doubt prevented the re-
currence of that unlicensed carnival of
crime which had rcigned be fore.
The moral Of all this is evident. Men
institute government for the sole purpose
of protection. If they fail in this govern
ment fails, and they must resort 10 new
institutions, or new modes of government,
TO accomplish their ends. If they be a
free people, they first resort TO popular
meetings and popular executions; and, if
finally these fail, they must accept the
sword and the despot. The instinct OF
every man is 10 obtain security-and
this he will have, in some form or other.
The Vigilence Committees, the Regula-
tors, the Lynch executioners, are all so
many disorderly and defective modes of
doing ghat tie lao orgA to do. The in
siincls Of the great mass of people, the
conviction Of their understanding is, that
crime should be invariaJy punished.-
They are not less humane, nor less
liberal, than the professed philanthropists,
whose practical efforts end in destroying
the efficiency Of the law, and ultimately
undermine the foundationd Of society.
There is evidently disordered, unset
lied, eruptive state Of our social system,
which demands the serious consideration
of all good citizens. Is this state of
things 10 continue and grow worse
Some of our disorders may be attributed
to political causes, but not all, nor the
greater part. For tie greatest part arise
from the DaRt Of naOrral sentiment TO en-
force he lc'0s The practical result of
this is the defective administration Of jus.
iice. Our legal institutions are good;
perhaps not always wise, or prudent;
but, in the main, what they ought 10 be.
Bat there is no certainty in their execu-
lice. If there be not soon a corrected and
reformed public sentiment, acting through
The law, there will soon be one which
acts acihom law. The instincts of man.
kind are too strong to be set aside by
false theories Of government, or metphy
steal questions of lunacy, humane notions
Of mercy. Men have come together in
society to pursue their avocations in a
peaco and safety, which a state OF nature
did not afford them. If they cannot get
this, by the regular laws, and mild govern |
ment they will finally resort TO very
different kind. The worst enemy of a
a free people is unlicensed passion, and
Ibis is just the same in an unpublished
as it is in an unpuniShed mob |
To prevent the last, we must enforce the
law upon the former. The intelligence,
and the virtue of the people must come
up 10 the rescue of their own rights
They must vintlica'e their own capacity !
or selfgovernment by enforcing their
,wn laws.-CiB. Ga=eRe.

MAxIMs OF BISHOP NIDDLEToN-Per-
severe against discouragements. Keep
your temper. Employ leisure in study,
and always have some work in hand
Be punctual and methodical in business,
and never procrastinate. Never be in a
hurry. Preserve self possession, and do
not be talked out Of conviction. Rise
early, and be an economist of time
Maintain dignity without the appearance
of pride, manner is something to every
body, and everything with some. Be
guarded in discourse, attentive, and slow
10 speak. Never acquiesce in immoral
Or pernicious opinions. Be not forward
TO assign reasons to those who have no
right to ask. Think nothing in conduct
unimporlant or indifferent. Rather set
than follow examples. Practice strict
temperance, and in your transactions re-
member the final account.
1t is worthy of observation that The
Latin word for miserable has been applied
to designate an individual who possesses,
but cannot enjoy. And well may he be
called miser; for of all men he is the
most mean, and abject, and comfortless.
CUEE FOR THE BITE OF A MAD Doe

Lucy Hamilton, twenty years of age,

some one exhorting in a loud way. She
went III; her sister sister would not. The
next night not being cast in a play she
visited the church instead Of the theatre
She became convinced that she was a
great sinner; that the theatre was a bad
place; that it was her duty 10 abandon the
stage. At length her mind became so
much disturbed thai she left the theatre
and asought peace in Christ" destroyed
her stage wardrobe and eSchewed Shak-
speare and Bourcicault. During her re-
marks she took occasion 10 express an
opinion that the theatre was an exceeding
ly bad place-in fact, no other than ''the
gateway 10 hell.' The influence of the
theatre, she felt sure. was baneful 10
the morals and piety of people, and
none could attend the one and have the
other.-Albany Aaas.

and gave his consent, On one coudition.
The son was to go 10 sea for years
