WAGaERY.-Some time ago, OH the Sabbath
day we wended our way to one Of the churches,
and instead of q sermon heard an address mon
some missionary or other benevolent subject.
After the address was concluded, two brethren
were sent around with tile baskets for contri-
buttons. Parson L., who was one of the
basket bearers taking the side upon which we
sat. Immediately in our front aud upon the
next seat pegligently %reclifed our friend Bill
IL, q gentleman Of infinite htimor and FIN
of dry Jokes. Parson Il, extended Ike
basket and Bill slowly shook his head.
"Gome, William, give us something" said
the Parson.
!" Can't do it" replied Bill.
"Wby not? Is not thecanse a good one RI
"1es but | am not able to give anything
Pom Pohl ! know better, you must give
u better reason than that
We'll, owe too much money! must be
just before am generous, you know
But, William, You owe God a larger debt
than you W any one else
That's true, parsou, but then lie aiaf n
pushing nc IKE ne 6alanee Of my creditors.
The parsons face got into a curious con-
dition and he passed on.

The Tricks OF LAw.-At the recent Term
Of the circuit court of Tazewell, Tenn, a fell.
low was a%rralgned for stealing a raw-hide. He
alleged that he had purchased it from a nedrc.
The attorney for the commonwealth admitted
his statement, and he was acquitted, but was
Immediately indicted for trading with a negro.
Thereupon the accused introduced two Wit
nesses to prove that he had stolen the hide.
when ne was Of course discharged and having
already been tried for stealing, he could not be
tried a second time for the same offence, and
was thus turned loose uppunished. Such is
the perfection Of human wisdom.

MONUMENT TO Coz McCLuse.-We learn
with pleasure that there is a proposition on
foot ID this city, to build a monument TO The
memory Of the gallan, and chivalrons Col.
Alexander X. McClung, Of The LIST Regiment
Of Mississippi Volunteers. Wherever genius
and courage are appreciated the name Of Nc.
Clung will be honored. and we have no doubt
that the proposition to build q monument 10
mark the spot where all that is mortal Of his
gallant and daring spirit reposes, will be warm.
y. seconded by our fellow citizens. At no
point in the State was Col. McClung more ad
mired. No where were his fine mental and
personal qualities more highly appreciated, aud
in doing deserved honor to his memory, our
people will be honoring themselves. His ashes
rest with ns-they are a precious legacy which
duty and honor enjoin us to guard with care,
and we know no manner in which we can more
tittipglyy, express our appreciation of our high
trnst, than by rearing u monument to mark

When Henry Clay was young, and a bril-
liant member Of the Legislature II Kentucky,
one Of the old Bnckskins heard him quote the
Common Law Of England as decisive in the
case then under discussion. The old fellow was
astonished, and, jumping up. began
Mr.. Speaker, | w~anps=1know, sir, Of what
that gentleman said is true! Are we all Twin
under old English law I"
The Speaker informed The anxious ~inqnter
That the Common Lsw was recognized as part
Of the law Of the land.

We learn from a reliable quarter that the re-
suit Of the recent Court Martial upon OIL.
Simmer at Carlisle Barracks, was the acquit-
tai Of Col. s. upon both the charges preferred
against hin, by Gen. Harneg. This result will
be eminently gratifying to the country, ms il
certainly is to the Army. The Court delibe-
rated le than fifteen minutes before agreeing
upon their verdict. .Cnl. Summer leaves Car
