FIT Insane! The telegraph announces
that GERRIrT SMITH has been confined in a
Iunatic asylum. The disclosure of his con-
nection with the criminal conspiracy OF JOHN
BRowN and the fear of punishment, we sup
pose have dethroned his reason. 1t could
not have been the - compnnctuous visiting
of Coincidence" for such things a. they Ger
tainly never disturb an abolition fanatic.
We don't see bow any one with conscience
can be an abolitionist. Their faith is
founded upon a basis which ignores con-
science and all those attributes the Creator
implanted in the breast of man to make him
His noblest work. Fanatic as SMITH Is. we
trust be may speedily recover; that be may
then repent and become good citizen.

a Fighting Parson.

Cof. Richard VI. Johnson the slayer of Tc-
cumseh, used to narrate anecdote about
parson by the of Sacket, who was chap
lain OF the regiment, during the Indian wars in
which he engaged. The chaplain was
firm believer in the doctrine of predestination,
and in his sermons to the troops he was in the
habit of enforcing this tenet, and dwelling on it
very strongly. He urged upon the soldiers to
go into battle with perfect confidence that no
harm would befall them, for they could not die
before their time came, let them be exposed ever
so much. This kind of preaching made good
soldiers, and Col. Johnson always found his men
ready to do whatever he ordered however des-
perate it might be- But the chaplain could fight
as well as preach, being a stawart man, of great
muscle, and of indomitable spirit. On one oc-
casion, when the battle waxed furious, and the
chances looked desperate, the parson armed
himself for the fight and took his place in the
forefront of the fray. There he moved down
the enemy, piling up their bodies around him. in
perfect hecatomb. When the field was won
it was found that twenty nine of the enemy
were heaped up in death around the spot where
the chaplain stood. Col johnson accosted the
valiant preacher with words of hearty thanks for
his gallant and timely service, and asked him
how it happened that he, man of peace had
killed many of the foe ? To this very natural
question of the commander, Sacket replied =
Why, Colonel, don't know how it was, unless
Their time had come"

Southern story.

twenty years ago, it was the custom in north
western Georgia, as indeed it was throughout
the southwest, for dry goods dealer. to keen a
barrel of sperits" in the back room. and to
treat liberal customers to glass whenever de-
sired
Fillens and Dewberry were such dealers, in
one oil the small towns indicated and they had
ior customer a clever, rollicking old fellow,
named Joe Denny, who drank whisky in nrefer.
ence to water always, and whose wife was
flesh of his flesh" in that particular. The old
couple would come in town, to trade quite free
ly, and quite freely imbibe the spirits in the
back room of the dealers we have named
On one occasion both the old man and old
woman continued their potations inordinately
and IS Fillins observed that his goods went bet
ter the drunker the old woman became. he
pressed her to drink
AT last she refused, unless he would sweeten
1t with little store sugar." Filens INDUCED
her, and when the old people started home in
the evening late, the old man could scarcely
mount his horse, and the good wife had actually
to be lifted and placed on the pillion behind
him. Happily she leaned one way, and her hus-
band the other, so that the gravitating point
was between them; and she clung to him in
stlnctivey, they passed out of the village safely
Before reaching their home however they
had to cross small creek, and when their hor-
ses stepped in to drink, the old lady having
reached unconsciousness, released her hold, and
quietly lapsed into the stream below.
Occupied with his thoughts the old man did
not perceive his loss, but logged slowly home
ward Arri1 ed there, the children inquired anx-
iously for nanny" but the old man could
only say that she had been on the " critter" and
:" the critter hadn't kicked up nary time SO he
couldn't say where she mout be u and threw
himself stupid on the bed
Girls and boys flew along the road the old
man had come, yelling many nance but of
course no many responded
When they arrived at the creek the eldss.
girl shouted,
fonder she is, sitting down in the creek p
And there she was seated comfortably in the
water, which came nearly up to our mouth. As
she swayed back and forth, now yielding to the
impetuosity of the stream, and now resisting it
with some success, the muddy fluid would occa-
sionally wet her lips, and each time it did so,
she would family exclaim with grim effort to
smile:
"Not drop more, Mr.. Fillins, 'thout it's
sweetened."
And it is to this romantic little incident in the
| life of the venerable Mrs. Joe Denny, that we
are indebted for one of our most popular colo
| qual phrases.

THE oLD-FAsHIoNED FIRE.
BY DR., y. HAYNES,

You may talk of the comforts of home,
Your parlors, pianos-settees-
Of the fashions and baubles that foam
To dazzle, erchart, and to please;-
OF the stove and its heat when it SHOWS,
And its pipe that you so much admire,
But for the counting and toasting my toes,
Why give me- the oid-fashioned freF
When the winter and tempests arrive,
And the gay summer hours are gone
When the cold, searching winds ever strive,
And through the drear woods ever moan
When the labor and toiling shall cease,
And eve sweeps the strings of the Tyre,
And when friendship and love meet in peace
Then give me the old-fashioned fire
Il is frigid and cherries to see
(And no matter where we may roaye,
Ifo'er continents, ocean and sea-
A fire boxed up in a stove
You may talk of econory's skin,
And dangers that never prove dire,
But endurance and health it will kill,
So give me the old fashioned fire!

Wee Willie Winkie

Wee Willie Winkie
Runs through the town,
Up stairs and down stairs
In his night gown,
Tapping at the window,
Crying at the lock,
"Are the wean. in their bed,
For it's now ten o'clock ?"
"Heyl Willie Winkie,
Are you coming then7
The cats singing Purrie
To the sleeping hen,
The dog is lying on the floor,
And does not even peep;
But here's the wakeful laddie
That will not fall asleep"
Anything but sleep, you rognel
Gicwring like tfe moonf
Rattling in an iron jug
With an iron spoon;
Rumbling, tumbling all about,
Growing like a cock,
Screaming like don't know what,
Waking sleeping folk.
e Hey Willie Winkie,
Can't you keep him still?
Wriggling off a body's knee
Like very eel,
Pulling at the cats ear,
As she drowsy huns
Heigh Willie Winkie,
See,-there he comes p
Wearied is the mother
That has a restless wean,
A wee, stumpy bairnie
Heard whene'er he's seen
That has battle aye with sleep
Before he'll close an e'e;
But a kiss from off his rosy lips
Gives strength anew to me.
